3.12 The FCSAP program financially supports projects in all regions of the country (Exhibit 3.2) that meet certain administrative criteria and technical requirements. Only sites where contamination occurred before 1998 are included. About 8,200 sites received funding under the program. This is just over one third of the total number of sites listed in the federal inventory as at March 2011.(...)

3.36 Custodial departments are responsible for assessing potential contaminated sites to identify the extent of the risks they pose to human health and the environment.
