Mobile Soil and Groundwater Remediation Permit Amendment - VEI Contracting
Official title: VEI Contracting Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
VEI Contracting wants to expand the chemicals it can use when cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater at sites across Ontario. The company already has a permit for mobile remediation equipment. This amendment would add 13 new types of treatment compounds, including oxidants, surfactants, and biodegradation agents.
Why This Matters
Live near a contaminated site being cleaned up? This permit affects what chemicals can be used. The mobile equipment operates at various locations across Ontario, so future cleanup projects in your area could use these new treatment methods.
What Could Change
If approved, VEI Contracting could use 13 additional chemical treatment methods at contaminated sites across Ontario. These include acids, caustics, chemical oxidants and reductants, and various biodegradation compounds. The company's mobile remediation equipment could treat soil, groundwater, and sediment using these expanded techniques.
Key Issues
- Should VEI Contracting be allowed to use additional chemical treatment compounds for soil remediation?
- Are the proposed remediation amendments appropriate for mobile operations at various locations?
