12,000 m3 LLRW contaminated fill used to reclaim marshlands
A partial cleanup program was conducted in the 1980s at the south end of the site during which contaminated material was removed to a depth of approximately 1 m
Remediation/Restoration Plans
Fencing will be erected around the entire site
Catch basins along Mill Street South in the vicinity of the site will be protected with a geotextile filter fabric liner
When all contaminated material above the groundwater table has been removed, the saturated contaminated soils will be excavated and processed through a dewatering sump
The stormwater collection area will also remain operational during this period to collect and manage stormwater runoff within the controlled area
Backfill will be placed as the excavation progresses and final grades will be attained by reshaping existing soils and backfill materials
Surface will be completed with topsoil, seed and mulch
All fences and ancillary features associated with the site remediation will be removed
As per direction from the Municipality of Port Hope the land will be restored to green space
