As per the Government of Canada and policy, the evaluation examines the relevance and the DND roles, responsibilities performance of the Program over a five-year period and priorities. [...] This includes the protection, mitigation and remediation of the environment, sustainable practices, and the management of UXO on both historic and current DND property. [...] ADM(IE) is the functional authority for the Program, with the following7 areas of oversight: • for environmental compliance and sustainability, the Director General Infrastructure and Environment Governance Policy and Strategy (DGIEGPS); • for large-scale contaminated site projects, the DGIEES; and • for UXO programs, the Director General Portfolio Requirements (DGPR). [...] The Transport of Dangerous Goods Act and the responsibilities delegated to the Minister of National Defence by the Explosives Act and the Regulations emanating from it support these actions. [...] The moratorium was implemented due to the proximity of Sector 6 to the Garrison boundaries and municipal water wells and due to the fact that high levels of RDX (exceeding provincial guidelines) had been measured in both surface water and groundwater.
