Hydro-Québec Infrastructure Work at Sept-Îles Airport
Official title: Drainage, lighting, and repair work on existing fencing, installation of a megadome (temporary) and a reservoir at Sept-Îles Airport
Hydro-Québec wants to build infrastructure at Sept-Îles Airport to support its operations. The work includes a drainage ditch, lighting, a temporary megadome structure, fence repairs, and an oil storage tank. Construction is planned for fall 2025.
Why This Matters
Live near Sept-Îles Airport? This construction could mean temporary noise and equipment activity this fall. The oil tank installation may also be of interest to those concerned about environmental safety near the airport.
What Could Change
If approved, Hydro-Québec can proceed with construction at the airport site. A 2,359-liter oil tank will be installed, along with a large temporary structure. The work supports Hydro-Québec's operational needs in the region.
Key Issues
- Should Hydro-Québec be permitted to install a temporary megadome and oil storage tank at the airport?
- Are the proposed drainage and infrastructure works appropriate for the airport site?
