Diesel Generator Decommissioning at North Caribou Lake First Nation
Official title: North Caribou Lake First Nation - Backup Power Decommissioning Project
North Caribou Lake First Nation wants to tear down its old diesel power station. The project involves removing fuel tanks, generators, and buildings, plus cleaning up contaminated soil. Most hazardous waste will be cleared before demolition starts.
Why This Matters
This matters most to North Caribou Lake community members. The old diesel station has contaminated the site, and proper cleanup protects local groundwater and soil. Salvaged materials may be reused in the community.
What Could Change
The diesel generating station, fuel tanks, and related buildings would be demolished. Contaminated soil from historical diesel spills would be addressed. The site would be graded and restored.
Key Issues
- How will historical contamination from diesel spills be cleaned up?
- What happens to hazardous materials during demolition?
