The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project. The project aims to replace the old gas station at the Saint Jean-Sur-Richelieu garrison. It involves removing two old 25,171 L underground fiberglass tanks (gasoline and diesel), installed in 1992 and now at the end of their useful life. These tanks will be replaced by two new above-ground tanks with a capacity of 25,000 L each, in a new gas station.
