Abstract

The Canada-United States Joint Inland Pollution Contingency Plan (the "Inland Plan") facilitates a coordinated and integrated federal response to a polluting incident, along the inland boundary, that causes, or may cause, damage to the environment along the inland boundary or may constitute a threat to public safety, security, health, welfare, or property and provides a mechanism for cooperative responses among all levels of government. This also includes all federally recognized Indigenous Peoples (Canada) and Tribal Nations (U.S.). The Inland Plan may also be activated to facilitate the provision of assistance when only one country is affected, but the polluting incident is of such magnitude to justify a request for assistance from the other country.
