BC: Changes to the Permittee Capability Assessment (PCA) Program |
Under the PCA program, permit holders assessed with moderate or high levels of financial risk must complete corrective action requirements through the submission of security deposits and/or the completion of work to reduce their “DIM” liability; that is, abandonment, assessment, remediation and/or restoration work on their Dormant, Inactive and Marginal (DIM) sites. The amount of corrective action required is scaled in relation to the level of a permit holder’s financial risk.
As of June 1, 2023. the BCER reduced the risk factor to a more conservative value of 66.6 (i.e., now companies with an assessed risk factor over 66.6 are required to take 100 per cent corrective action against their DIM liability) and discontinued the provisional 50 per cent annual limit.
Also, effective June 1, 2023, permit holders with DIM Liability equal to or more than $1 million must now include audited financial statements with their annual financial eSubmission, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards or Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.
