The present Regulations are made under the Indian Act. The Regulations lay down provisions relating to the use of reserve lands. The Regulations establish that no person shall: a) operate a garbage dump in a reserve, or b) use any land in a reserve for the disposal or storage of waste, except under the authority of a permit. For the purpose of the present Regulation ‘waste” is defined to include garbage, liquid and semi-liquid substances, landfill and scrap of all kinds. The Regulations also prohibit the burning of waste. The Regulations deal with garbage dumps and sewage treatment, but not contaminated sites. The text consists of 14 sections.
