CSAP History
In May 2002, the development of the Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals (CSAP) system was undertaken to permit qualified professionals, as an independent society, to process low to medium risk sites in a timely manner. The CSAP Society was incorporated in March 2007 to allow the Approved Professionals to become self-regulating to ensure the use of "best practices" for the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites in a dynamic environment while complying with contaminates sites legislation.
The Ministry of Environment provided start-up funding for the Society which was initially administered by a steering committee. The Society would like to acknowledge the Roster Steering Committee's (RSC) contribution to the development of the Society. To assist in CSAP development work, the RSC established a LEP Development Subcommittee (LEPSC) and a LEP Stakeholder Advisory Group (LEPSAG), all of which played an important role in getting the Society up and running.
