It was an honour to attend this event and reconnect with some colleagues that were integral on some very important brownfield remediation projects in Brantford.
The Greenwich-Mohawk remediation project was one that was highlighted at this event and one that I was so fortunate to spend almost two years of my career working on with all the amazing stakeholders involved.
Brantford is a city rich with industrial heritage and more importantly, a city that prioritizes an ongoing commitment to remediating sites with remaining environmental issues inherent in such a progressive industrial history.
Beyond this overarching commitment, Jacobs and the City of Brantford collaborated on a remedial approach on the Greenwich-Mohawk site that diverted solid and liquid waste (to the greatest extent possible) by the on-site treatment and re-use of contaminated soils and groundwater.
Fun facts about the Greenwich-Mohawk Remediation include:
1. 40,000 tonnes of concrete (slabs, foundation walls, and footings) excavated, crushed and reused on-site
2. 120,000 m3 of clean overburden soil excavated, stockpiled and backfilled upon completion of soil remediation
3. 86,000 tonnes of soil impacted with PHCs and metals excavated and disposed off-site at a MECP-licensed landfill?
4. 105,000 m3 of soil impacted with PHCs screened to segregate coarse and fine materials
5. 39,000 m3 of fine-grained soils impacted with PHCs treated on-site in biopiles and reused on-site (backfilled)
6. 66,000 m3 of coarse-grained material impacted with PHCs treated on-site and reused on-site (backfilled)
7. 140,000 L of free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons (LNAPL) recovered from the groundwater and recycled off-site
8. 30,000,000 L of groundwater impacted with PHCs pumped and treated on-site
9. 30,000 tonnes of clear stone and granular fill imported to the site for backfilling
What else can I say? Amazing project, amazing commitment, and amazing results!
