Contaminated Site Cleanup
The BC Ministry of the Environment requires that contaminated sites be identified and remediated. Many municipalities have additional requirements that must be satisfied prior to a property transfer or redevelopment. As well, an increasing number of mortgage lenders and insurance companies are insisting on contaminated site clearance certificates prior to lending money or insuring property.
In order to achieve this, the suspected contaminated soil where the tank was ‘nested’ must be excavated and removed to a permitted soil remediation facility.
When the contaminated soil has been removed, the remaining soil in the excavation must be tested by a qualified environmental engineer to determine, by analytical means, that the soil is below the limits determined by the Ministry of the Environment.
After the engineering report confirms that the site is “clean” a Notice of Independent Soil Remediation must be filed with the Province of British Columbia Ministry of the Environment.
Our clients include:
- Construction and development companies
- Government Agencies

Often the requirement for site remediation is only recognized when your project is underway. We understand budget constraints and recognize the importance of timely and cost efficient remediation measures.
