take all practicable steps to identify each person who is an owner or occupier of all or part of the land; and

take all practicable steps to advise each person identified of the remediation determination that the CEO proposes to make; and

give persons advised at least 20 business days to comment in writing to the CEO on the proposed remediation determination.
