Remediation

XCG was hired to replace the consultant (as the work was found to be inadequate) that had initially been engaged to do a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and preliminary remedial cost estimate. XCG re-did the Phase I and then designed and implemented a staged series of Phase II and Phase III investigations to delineate and quantify subsurface soil and ground-water impacts on a 30-acre property in Waterloo, Ontario.

In 1990, Roynat Inc. was the holder of the property mortgage for a company who defaulted and went bankrupt, leaving Roynat with ownership of a 1.3-hectare industrial property in Waterloo, Ontario. Roynat was unable to sell the property, but was able to secure a long-term tenant for the property. This tenant intended to purchase the property in 1998 and commissioned a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA).

When D’Orazio Infrastructure Group (DIG) secured the excavation and earthworks portion of Region of Halton contracts R3309A-20 and R3309A-21 with Brennan Paving, the project contracts specified the Contractor to secure the services of a Qualified Person (QP-C).

XCG was invited to bid on a soil characterization project to support the planned boulevard excavation work for tree planting with the Region of York Forestry Division, and was the successful candidate.

XCG was retained by the Ontario School Boards’ Insurance Exchange (OSBIE) and the Durham District School Board (DDSB) to conduct a peer review of historical investigations and remedial activities for a study area located near the Uxbridge Secondary School (USS) in Uxbridge, Ontario.

XCG was retained in 2006 to assist Niagara Waste Systems with the Atlas Remediation Project. This project required collaboration between the City of Welland and Niagara Waste Systems to re-activate the Atlas Steels Landfill.

XCG was retained by our client (developer) to assist with the characterization and management of numerous soil stockpiles identified on-site.

XCG completed an updated Phase One ESA, Phase Two ESA, Soil Vapour Survey and Risk Assessment at this former federally-owned waterfront property in Kingston.

Based on our previous work on a commercial property that was next to a historical municipal landfill, the new owner of a retail plaza requested XCG to assist with the implementation of a methane protection system.

Following the filing of a Record of Site Condition (RSC) for a former industrial property in Guelph, Ontario, by another consultant, XCG was requested to assist with implementation of the Risk Management Measures (RMMs) outlined in the Certificate of Property Use (CPU) issued for the site.

A Canadian realty management firm that was expending their retail plaza property retained XCG to investigate the impacts from a historic dry-cleaning operation that occupied the property circa 1965.
