EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the notice.)
Chlorinated paraffins are chlorinated derivatives of n-alkanes having ten or more carbon molecules and a chlorine content ranging from approximately 30 to 70 percent. Paraffins can be divided into groups depending on chain length — short, medium and long, and the degree of chlorination. Chlorinated paraffins are used as secondary plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride, as extreme pressure additives in metal machining fluids, and as fire retardants.
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins have a length of between 10 and 13 carbon atoms (C10-13). They are imported into Canada for use mainly as lubricants in the metal working sector. They are also used as flame retardants and/or plasticizers in items including PVC, synthetic rubber, paints and sealants.
Medium-chain chlorinated paraffins have a length of between 14 and 17 carbon atoms (C14-17) and long-chain chlorinated paraffins have chain lengths of at least 18 carbon atoms. At the time of release of the first Priority Substances List assessment, medium- and long-chain chlorinated paraffins were produced in, and imported into, Canada for use as plasticizers and flame retardants, as well as extreme-pressure additives in lubrication oils.
The information collected in this notice will serve to assess the trends in chlorinated paraffin use and the extent of short-chain chlorinated paraffin contamination in medium- and long-chain chlorinated paraffins, as well as assist in determining whether to control or the manner in which to control these substances.
This notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, pursuant to paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). This notice requires the persons to whom it applies to provide certain information on their activities with respect to chlorinated paraffins.
Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of CEPA 1999, every person to whom this notice applies is required to comply with this notice within the time specified in the notice. The time specified in this notice is February 6, 2003.

Significant New Activity Notice No. 9350a
Significant New Activity Notice (Section 110 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas the Ministers of Health and of the Environment have previously issued a Significant New Activity Notice No. 9350 with respect to the living organism Thiobacillus W5 consortium, on June 16, 2001;
Whereas the living organism is not on the Domestic Substances List;
Whereas the Ministers have assessed additional information pertaining to the living organism;
And whereas the Ministers suspect that a significant new activity in relation to the living organism, by virtue of its composition, may result in the living organism becoming toxic,
Now, therefore, the Minister of the Environment hereby rescinds the Significant New Activity Notice No. 9350 under subsection 110(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, and makes this Significant New Activity Notice No. 9350a in replacement thereof,
And further, the Minister of the Environment indicates, pursuant to section 110 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, that subsection 106(4) of the same Act applies with respect to the living organism.
A significant new activity involving the living organism is any activity which does not include:
(a) use of the living organism within a contained facility;
(b) pasteurization of any wastes containing the living organism and elemental sulphur at a temperature equal to or greater than 60°C for a minimum of 30 minutes and stabilization with lime prior to disposal; and
(c) effective disinfection prior to disposal of any other bleed stream wastes containing the living organisms, using a UV apparatus, or standard bleach solution, or pasteurization at a temperature equal to or greater than 60°C for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The following information must be provided to the Minister of the Environment at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the proposed new activity:
(1) description of the proposed new activity in relation to the living organism;
(2) submission of all information describing the new methods of treating and disinfecting wastes prior to disposal; and
(3) submission of all information relating to the treatment and disinfection of the process streams prior to their direct or indirect release to the Environment, and the efficacy of the disinfection.
The above information will be assessed within 90 days of its being provided to the Minister of the Environment.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This explanatory note is not part of the Significant New Activity Notice.)
A Significant New Activity Notice (SNAc Notice) is a legal document issued by the Minister of the Environment that lists the activities for a given substance in Canada for which there has been no finding of toxicity under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999). The requirements prescribed in the Notice indicate the appropriate information to be sent to the Minister for assessment prior to the commencement of a new activity as described in the Notice.
A SNAc Notice can be issued for both Domestic Substances List (DSL)-listed and non-listed substances. Substances listed on the DSL that have a SNAc Notice attached may be imported or manufactured within Canada, if used within the activity constraints listed in the SNAc Notice. It is the responsibility of the users of the substance to be aware of and to follow all activity restrictions, and to submit a SNAc Notification to the Minister prior to the commencement of a significant new activity associated with the substance.
Substances that are not listed on the DSL can only be imported or manufactured by the person who has met the requirements under sections 81 or 106 of CEPA 1999. In circumstances where a SNAc Notice is issued for a substance that is not eligible for listing on the DSL, it is the responsibility of every person who transfers the physical possession or control of the substance to notify all persons to whom the possession or control is transferred of the obligation to comply with any activity restrictions imposed by a SNAc Notice, and of the obligation to notify any new activity as described in the Notice. It is the responsibility of the users of the substance to follow all activity restrictions, and to submit a SNAc Notification to the Minister prior to the commencement of a significant new activity associated with the substance.
A SNAc Notice does not constitute an endorsement by the Minister of the Environment with respect to the substance to which it relates, nor does it constitute an exemption from the application of any other laws (whether statutes, regulations, or other) that may also apply to the substance or related activities.
