Description: Environmental penalty (EP) orders were introduced through the Environmental Enforcement Statute Law Amendment Act (Bill 133), passed in June 2005. This legislation amended the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and the Ontario Water Resources Act (OWRA), establishing the overall framework for EP orders. Two regulations (one under each Act) provide details of how, when and to which types of violations EPs will be applied. The enabling provisions in the Acts and the EP regulations came into force on August 1, 2007.
