Environmental Regulation and Enforcement

Metro Vancouver develops regulations to protect public health, the environment, infrastructure, and worker safety.

These include bylaws, regulations, and codes of practice related to:

Air emissions from industries, trades, businesses, equipment, activities, operations, and residences
Wastewater from industries, businesses, and institutions
Privately owned solid waste facilities and waste hauler records

We issue permits and licences, and assess whether our requirements and bylaws are being met.
