An environmental records review shares property information related to:
- incidents of property contamination (e.g. oil spills);
- presence of underground petroleum storage tanks;
- status of any environmental protection orders or environmental approvals/permits issued on a property; and
- whether or not a property is entered on the Department's Contaminated Site Registry.
