To address community concerns about low-level Radioactive waste and industrial waste in the community, a legal agreement was made between the Municipality of Port Hope and Canada to conduct a large-scale environmental clean up effort, paid for by Canada, in return for hosting the long-term waste management site.
The PHAI project originated to remove LLRW and the Municipality successfully negotiated the inclusion of unrelated industrial waste sites to the benefit of the community. Lions Park and the Chemetron Lagoon are two of the industrial sites being cleaned up under the agreement.
The industrial sites identified in the PHAI clean up are much more toxic and include the presence of lead, heavy metals, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's), and other dangerous waste and originate from other industrial businesses.
The concept plans for the sites after remediation is complete and are now available and the community is invited to look at these concepts and provide their feedback.
Please review the project page and complete the survey by June 6, 2023 at 4:00 p.m.
