The Contaminated Sites On-Reserve (CSOR) program is responsible for managing contaminated sites on reserve lands and any other lands that fall under Indigenous Services Canada’s (ISC) responsibility.
This program provides funding to First Nations to identify, assess and remediate contaminated sites on reserve lands and other lands under the department’s responsibility. The program’s objectives include:
- reducing risks to human health and the environment
- ensuring that reserve lands are available for economic and community development or traditional use
- reducing federal liability associated with contaminated sites
