North East Arm Camp Hazardous Material Removal and Demolition

The proposed project involves the removal of hazardous materials and the demolition of eight cabins and seven support buildings (including a caretaker's residence, pump house, maintenance/general store, crew quarters, boat house, gasoline storage shed and a lodge) at the North East Arm Camp, NL. Hazardous building materials such as asbestos, lead-based paint,  and potential ozone depleting substances are present in all the buildings. Additionally, mold growth was identified as a potential hazard within these buildings as well. The project site is located adjacent to the Northeast Arm River, a scheduled salmon river. The pumphouse is in closest proximity to the river, approximately 5 m from the mouth of the river. The pumphouse is serviced by an underground waterline which will need to be capped off at the pumphouse prior to demolition.
