NEESNational Environmental Emergencies
System (NEES) 1974-2003
In 2000, the Emergencies program implemented NEES, a reporting system
for spills of hazardous substances. For the most part, this system only
captured data from the Atlantic Provinces, some from Quebec and Ontario
and a portion from British Columbia. Data for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
and the Territories was not captured. However, NEES is also a repository
for all previous Environment Canada spill datasets. NEES is composed of
the historic datasets – or Trends – which dates from approximately 1974
to present. NEES Trends is a compilation of historic databases, which were
merged and includes data from NATES (National Analysis of Trends in Emergencies
System), ARTS (Atlantic Regional Trends System), and NEES. In 2001, the
Emergencies Program determined that variations in reporting regimes and
requirements between federal and provincial agencies made national spill
reporting and trend analysis difficult to achieve. As a consequence, the
department has focused efforts on capturing data on spills of substances
which fall under its legislative authority only (CEPA and FA). As such,
the NEES database will be decommissioned in December 2004.
