Excavation and Off-Site Disposal of Contaminated Surface Soils and Concrete at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Bagotville, Saguenay (Quebec), Former FFTA

The Department of National Defense (DND) is planning to carry out excavation work to proceed with contaminated surface soils off-site disposal on a former training area that is no longer used. The project will include the excavation of soil up to 1 meter deep over an area of approximately 7,500 m2, equivalent of approximately 15,000 tonnes of soil. The area will not be backfilled. The excavated soil will be disposed off-site in a MELCC authorized site and will be subject to traceability with Traces-Québec. The project also involves the dismantling and crushing of a 15 meters by 30 meters concrete slab as well as a 65 meters long and 150 millimeters in diameter concrete pipe. Residual concrete will be transported and disposed off-site in accordance with applicable regulations at an authorized site.
