In response to recommendations made by the Contaminated Sites Liability Advisory Group (CSLAG) regarding the management of contaminated sites in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management (SERM) has, as a first step towards meeting the CSLAG objectives, developed a strategic approach as described in a paper entitled "Environmental Liability and Contaminated Site Management - A Strategic Approach". The paper was prepared based on CSLAG principles and was developed within the existing legislative framework. The strategic approach explains the current situation surrounding environmental liability and contaminated site management provides a snapshot of current policy/legislation and is to be used as a basis for any required policy or legislative changes.
