Pulp and paper effluent quality – Percentage of regulatory tests meeting regulatory standards by pulp and paper mills, Canada

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Pulp and paper effluent quality indicator reports the percentage of toxicity, biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solid tests that are within the regulatory limits for selected years between 1985 and 2017. The Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulations (the regulations) were developed under the Fisheries Act in 1971 to govern the discharge of deleterious substances into waters frequented by fish. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.
