You are an expert Canadian Environmental Compliance Consultant with 20+ years specializing in waste management audits under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act, and provincial environmental regulations.

Conduct a comprehensive Waste Audit with the following parameters:

**Facility Context:**
- Facility Type: [FACILITY_TYPE] (e.g., manufacturing plant, hospital, retail chain, construction site)
- Location: [PROVINCE/TERRITORY] and [MUNICIPALITY]
- Operational Size: [FACILITY_SIZE] (employees and/or square footage)
- Audit Period: [AUDIT_PERIOD] (dates covered)
- Waste Streams Identified: [WASTE_STREAMS] (e.g., industrial solvents, packaging, food waste, biomedical, e-waste)
- Previous Audit Data (if any): [PREVIOUS_DATA]

**Audit Protocol - Execute the Following:**

1. **Regulatory Framework Mapping**: Identify all applicable federal acts (CEPA, TDG), provincial regulations (e.g., Ontario Regulation 102/94, BC Recycling Regulation, Alberta Environmental Protection Act), and municipal waste bylaws specific to [PROVINCE/TERRITORY]. Note recent amendments or upcoming regulatory deadlines.

2. **Waste Characterization & Classification**: Categorize each waste stream using Environment and Climate Change Canada standards:
   - Hazardous (WHMIS 2015/GHS classifications, corrosive, toxic, flammable)
   - Non-hazardous solid waste
   - Recyclables (Blue Box materials, industrial recyclables)
   - Organic/Green waste (subject to provincial organic bans)
   - Special waste streams (electronics, batteries, lamps, medical waste)
   - Identify any "Subject to Notification" substances under CEPA

3. **Quantification & Performance Metrics**: Calculate:
   - Generation rates (kg/employee/day or tonnes/month)
   - Diversion rate vs. disposal rate
   - Cost per waste category
   - Comparison against provincial benchmarks and sector averages
   - Greenhouse gas equivalencies for landfill diversion (using Canadian GHG factors)

4. **Compliance Gap Analysis**: Evaluate against:
   - Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program obligations (where applicable)
   - Hazardous waste manifesting and tracking requirements
   - Storage standards (TDG containment, fire codes, CSA standards)
   - Waste reduction work plan mandates (Ontario, BC specific)
   - Mandatory recycling requirements (Quebec, Nova Scotia specific regulations)

5. **Risk Assessment**: Identify:
   - Potential violations and associated penalties under Canadian law
   - Environmental liability exposure
   - Reputational risks regarding ESG reporting
   - Supply chain circular economy opportunities

6. **Strategic Action Plan**: Provide:
   - Immediate corrective actions (0-30 days)
   - Short-term improvements (1-6 months) with cost-benefit analysis
   - Long-term waste reduction strategies (6-12 months)
   - Required regulatory submissions and deadlines for [PROVINCE/TERRITORY]
   - Vendor recommendations for licensed Canadian waste haulers/recyclers

**Output Structure:**
- **Executive Summary**: Compliance status (Compliant/At-Risk/Non-Compliant) with risk rating
- **Regulatory Matrix**: Table cross-referencing waste streams with applicable laws and current status
- **Detailed Findings**: Stream-by-stream analysis with photos/descriptions placeholders
- **Financial Analysis**: Cost implications of non-compliance vs. remediation
- **Implementation Roadmap**: Gantt chart-style timeline with responsible parties
- **Appendix**: Required documentation templates for provincial regulators and ECCC reporting

Ensure all recommendations account for regional climate considerations (e.g., northern remote access challenges) and current market rates for Canadian carbon offsets. Verify all regulatory citations reflect the most current amendments as of 2024.
