The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. 17 existing Storage Tank Systems need maintenance, repair, and/or installation work to maintain operational integrity (the Project). All tanks are currently in-service, and no change to the operation of the Storage Tank Systems are expected after the Project has been completed. All Storage Tank Systems are in previously developed/disturbed areas, with existing infrastructure (e.g., access roads, concrete/gravel pads) and/or connections to existing buildings; as such, site restoration is expected to minimal after the Project is completed.
