Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

What permit cannot be issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks under the Environmental Protection Act?

1. For the hauling of disposal waste from a sewage system.

2. For the remediation of contaminated industrial land.

3. For the use of herbicides to control lake weeds.

4. For the zoning of undeveloped vacant land for commercial uses.

The correct answer is: For the zoning of undeveloped vacant land for commercial uses.

The correct answer is D. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks does not issue permits for the zoning of undeveloped vacant land for commercial uses. Zoning of land falls under the jurisdiction of municipal governments and is regulated through municipal zoning bylaws. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks typically gets involved in issuing permits related to environmental protection aspects such as waste hauling, remediation of contaminated land, and the use of chemicals like herbicides to control specific environmental issues. Therefore, options A, B, and C are not permits issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks under the Environmental Protection Act.
