Northern Regional Solid Waste Management

in progress

The main focus of the Northern Regional Solid Waste Management project is to reduce the risk of soil and groundwater pollutants by diverting the solid waste from existing non-engineered dumpsites to new engineered regional solid waste facilities equipped with appropriate barriers for containment of pollutants. The scope of work for the project includes three major components within each of the Northwest and Northeast Regional Solid Waste Management Areas: • Construction of regional solid waste management facilities to serve 23 municipalities and 6 First Nations; • Construction of Solid Waste Management/Transfer sites for the temporary storage of waste and recyclable material to facilitate the reduction and diversion of waste; and • Decommissioning of the existing municipal dumpsites and associated works.
