Sustaining our Future: Contaminated Sites

This program of work includes investments required to manage and mitigate the City’s liabilities associated with City-owned environmentally contaminated sites.

The City has identified 43 properties, roads and/or right-of-ways (ROW) that are known to be contaminated or are potentially contaminated based on their historical use (e.g. as former industrial or commercial uses or historical landfill sites).

The financial liability associated with these sites is significant. It is estimated that it could cost up to $26 million to maintain, mitigate, or remediate these properties based on current information.

The focus is to proactively manage the City’s contaminated site liabilities from an engineering perspective.

There are no forecasted impacts from the 2021 recommended capital spending.

No operating impacts from 2021 to 2030.
