Project to Implement a Contaminated Soil Treatment Center in Quaqtaq

The project involves building a local center for the biopile treatment of contaminated soils, to treat such soils directly on site. Its capacity will be around 1,000 m3 of contaminated soil. Centre facilities will include a contaminated soil storage area and a treated soil area, each measuring 225 m2.

A container will be set up for contaminated snow in the event of an accidental spill. The project will allow for the storage and management of hydrocarbon-contaminated snow, as well as the treatment of contaminated water from snow melt.

Project activities include:
– Removing bulky items from the site
– Building an access road
– Site levelling, if required
– Importing backfill, if required
– Installing geomembranes and drainage
– Installing aeration, water and air treatment systems
– Connecting the system to the power grid

At end of use, the infrastructure will be dismantled and disposed of off-site.
