Alberta government orders immediate site remediation
The Alberta government has ordered Gas Plus Inc. and Handel Transport (Northern) Ltd. to immediately clean up a contaminated site in the Bowness region of Calgary.
The ministerial order requires the two companies to confirm the location of all contaminated material, dig up contaminated material and begin a remediation program to address the remainder of the contamination within four months.
The ministerial order takes into account recommendations made by the Environmental Appeals Board after a hearing held in November 2011 and replaces the original Environmental Protection Order issued in December 2010.
