Demolition and Disposal of Petroleum Oil and Lubricants (POL) Tank - 5 Wing Goose Bay

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing the demolition and disposal of a Petroleum Oil and Lubricant (POL) Tank located at CFB 5 Wing Goose Bay. Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. The POL Tank was constructed in 1954 as an above ground POL tank and has been out of service since 2010. The proposed Project will consist of the complete demolition and disposal of the approximate 15,918 m3 tank structure and its associated infrastructure. The Project will also include the removal and proper disposal of identified hazardous and non-hazardous building materials (including some residual fuel within the tank), foundations and associated structures (utilities and foundation) as well as subsequent site grading and site restoration. Where possible, proper recycling/reuse of materials will be implemented. It is anticipated that the demolition of the proposed Project is scheduled to be completed over the next 2 years.
