The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project. This project is being completed to address flooding issues at the Central Heating Plant, herein known as the Site. Currently, these flooding issues are impacting drainage at the Site and causing contaminated water from the Oil-Water Separator (OWS) to spill out onto the parking lot adjacent to the Site. Work under this project will include, but is not limited to:

• An upgrade to the storm and sanitary systems;
• Modifications to the sanitary piping, the OWS and accompanying alarm system;
• Grading the parking lot to prevent current pooling conditions from continuing, and;
• Re-paving the Site (as required).

It is expected that grading activities will involve excavation work which may result in excess soils.
