History
The Pollution Control Branch was established in 1974 under the Environmental Assessment and Planning Division of the Ministry of the Environment.
Originally, the responsibilities of the Branch were divided into two main groups : Policy and Program Development Group and Technology Development and Research Group, which was renamed the Research and Development Group in 1976-1977.
In 1975 the Resource Recovery Unit moved from the Pollution Control Branch and became a separate branch within the Utilities and Laboratory Services Division. In 1977-1978 training, certification, and safety programs were transferred to the Pollution Control Branch. Also in 1978, the Solid Waste Unit and Industrial Section of the Pollution Control Branch became part of the new Waste Management Branch.
Until August 1982, the Ministry's pesticides management was co-ordinated by the Pollution Control Branch. In 1983 this program was integrated into the Hazardous Contaminants and Standards Branch. Also during that year, the Environmental Assessment and Planning Division was renamed the Environmental Planning Division. By the end of 1983 the Pollution Control Branch no longer existed.
