Project to Implement a Contaminated Soil Treatment Centre in Kangiqsujuaq

The project involves building a local centre for the biopile treatment of contaminated soils to treat such soils directly on site. Its capacity is slated to 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:
– Site levelling, if required
– Importing backfill, if required
– Building an access road
– Installing geomembranes and drainage
– Installing aeration, water and air treatment systems
