Remediation of Contaminated Soil Following the Train Derailment at Lac Mégantic, QC
Customer : Quebec Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and Climate Change (MDDELCC)
Following the rail disaster at Lac Mégantic in 2013, Englobe was hired to treat an estimated 300,000 m3 of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, with concentrations ranging from 3,000 mg/kg to 30,000 mg/kg.
Using a wide range of technologies, and the biopile process in particular, Englobe has been successfully conducting the soil decontamination of Lac Mégantic since 2014.
Once treated, a portion of the soil meeting criteria A (<300 mg/kg) was returned to the excavation site, whereas soil meeting residential criteria (criteria B) (700 mg/kg) was used to remediate former mining sites located nearby.
