The explosion killed an employee and a firefighter died trying to douse the flames.
The inferno forced the evacuation of 12,000 people.
Sunrise Propane faces several charges under provincial labour and environmental laws.
A report from the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office said an illegal "tank to tank" transfer released liquid propane from a hose causing the explosion.
However, the actual ignition source is still unknown.
Cleaning up the site cost more than $2 million.
