Port Hope Waterworks Remediation Project: Summary

Abstract

The Port Hope Waterworks Remediation Project is one of the largest remediation projects to be initiated and completed by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) during the past ten years within the Municipality of Port Hope, Ontario. The waterfront property was remediated for productive reuse within the municipality, as the site for a major state-of-the-art waterworks infrastructure construction project. Approximately 17,500 cubic metres of low-level radioactive waste impacted soil was characterized and removed from the site in 2003 on an expedited basis and placed in temporary storage
