The Proposed Project

Environment and Climate Change Canada want to set up a weather station in the CFB Bagotville airfield area. The work involves, but is not limited to, excavation work for a concrete base construction, trenches for the electrical connections, the poles and guy wires installation. Soil will be disposed offsite as part of the work and a soil characterization will take place to determine the appropriate management method according to the applicable regulations.
