Like many Ontario cities, Kingston was once fueled by coal gas. The manufacturing process resulted in deep bedrock contamination beneath parts of the downtown core. Geofirma was retained to complete all aspects of assessment and remediation in the DNAPL source zone for the City.
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment contracted Geofirma to supervise site remediation activities and complete detailed hydrogeological investigation at a former fuel outlet in eastern Ontario. A groundwater plume from the site had impacted domestic wells and surface water.
The City of Ottawa retained Geofirma to conduct several Phase One and Phase Two Environmental Site Assessments along the Ottawa Light Rail Transit tunnel alignment. The investigations were conducted to satisfy environmental due diligence and establish baseline environmental conditions prior to leasing various properties for construction.
Geofirma was retained by a private landowner to complete a Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment and obtain a Record of Site Condition under Part XV.1 of the Environment Protection Act. The work was required to support a change in land use from commercial to residential use. The property had been used as a commercial garage since the site was first developed around 1967.
