YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport - Addition of Above-Ground Fuel Storage Tanks at the YUL Garage
Notice of Determination
ADM Aéroports de Montréal has determined that the project to install three aboveground fuel tanks at YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
This decision is based on the following factors:
- The tanks are installed inside the airport area, in the area of the maintenance garage, on an already developed site;
- Mitigation measures applied during the installation work;
- Community knowledge;
- Knowledge and the rights of indigenous peoples.
The factors taken into account in this determination are as follows:
Noise environment and air quality
- No impact;
- Increase of the airport site's capacity for the use of renewable diesel and thus reduce GHG emissions from mobile ground service equipment.
Soil quality
- The quantities of soil excavated will be limited; if applicable, the soils will be characterized and managed in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Surface water quality
- No impact;
- A new hydrocarbon separator is added to the site's local rainwater system.
Consequently, ADM Aéroports de Montréal may exercise its powers, duties and functions to enable the project to proceed.
