Sols contaminés à Mascouche | Sur les traces de déchets toxiques envoyés en Ontario
AI Article Summary
The Vidangeur de Montréal site in Mascouche is among the most polluted in Quebec, necessitating the transfer of toxic waste to Ontario for decontamination. Quebec's Ministry of Environment has contracted a consortium for the cleanup, but cost overruns have already been noted. Questions remain about the effectiveness of the soil washing method used in Ontario, and concerns persist regarding potential water contamination.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how initial mischaracterization can lead to significant cost overruns and increased complexity for Quebec contractors. For those involved in decontamination projects, it is vital to assess soil nature accurately from the start to minimize surprises. Sending waste out of the province may also affect timelines due to logistical and processing requirements.
