Located in Sydney, N.S. the project is a collection of technologies engineered to contain and remediate contamination and to collect and treat groundwater. The Agency is comprised of highly skilled contract managers and project implementers with engineering and environmental backgrounds backed by trained financial, communications and administrative personnel. The Agency and the cleanup is governed by a $400 million cost-share agreement signed by both the Government of Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia. The Agreement expires March 31st, 2014. Along with bringing this successful project in on time and on budget, the Agency is also tasked with optimizing local benefits in its community. Other priorities are increasing capacity in aboriginal communities, and providing opportunities for African Nova Scotians and women in non-traditional trades and technologies.
