Facility Categorization

Does your facility fall under one of the ECCC categories: contiguous, portable, pipeline installation, or offshore facilities?

Employee Threshold Criteria

Does your business employ the equivalent of 10 or more full-time employees (~20,000 work hours) throughout the year?

NPRI Chemical Substances

Does your site manufacture, process, or otherwise use a substance in one of the six parts of the NPRI toxic substances list?

Why ERA?

Our chemical regulatory database and powerful software engine eliminate the most time intensive and onerous tasks required to complete your NPRI report.

Pollutant Tracking

The system calculates the threshold quantities for products used in day-to-day operations, generates summary reports, and formats your submission to SWIM.

Emissions Reporting

The NPRI module captures data from ALL applicable sources and uses modelling technology to monitor and calculate your air, water, and waste emissions.

Chemical Updates

ERA's team of scientists maintains a comprehensive Master Chemical List with thorough chemical records and every regulatory change from the ECCC.

Reliable Regulatory Compliance

The methodology behind ERA’s software is built on total accuracy and rigorous data-gathering, basing reports on your facility’s actual, measured daily activities.

Data Quality Checks

Compare all NPRI chemicals, their quantities, and chemical sources to their reporting limits.

Exemption Tagging

Substances exempt from threshold calculations (e.g. articles not emitting NPRI substances during use) and activities and processes (e.g. research and testing) are automatically tagged.

Threshold Determination

Certain thresholds, such as the 10 full-time employee threshold, apply solely to certain activities. ERA's software pinpoints them for you.

Uploading to ECCC Single Window

The software generates a digital file that is ready to be uploaded to the ECCC's Single Window online system.

Always Up-to-Date

Every year, we bring our software up to date with the latest Environment Canada changes, implementing modifications to our reporting engine entirely free of charge — our software is never versioned!

no-versioning

Here's some of the developments we made this year to match changes to NPRI reporting requirements:

Added two new bases of estimate for substance quantities: remote quantification and speciation
Created a "Nature of releases" field for users needing to report non-point releases
Broke down individual stack releases into the five categories of combustion and fuel use
Separated the filterable fraction of particulate matter for reporting of PM2.5, PM10, or PM total
Updated the reporting criteria logic for Part 5 VOCs to flag speciated VOCs at or above 1 ton

How does Environment Canada manage the NPRI?

Environment Canada oversees the NPRI, ensuring that facilities comply with reporting requirements. The agency provides guidance, tools, and resources to help facilities accurately report their pollutant releases. Environment Canada also uses NPRI data to inform policy decisions and track progress in reducing environmental pollution.

How does NPRI Canada support environmental management?

NPRI Canada provides a comprehensive database of pollutant releases, helping to track and manage environmental impacts across the country. This data supports regulatory compliance, environmental planning, and public awareness, contributing to better environmental management practices.

What are the benefits of using NPRI reporting software?

NPRI reporting software simplifies the process of tracking and reporting emissions. It helps facilities identify reportable substances, calculate thresholds, and generate accurate reports for submission to Environment Canada. This software ensures compliance with NPRI requirements and reduces the administrative burden on facilities
