The contract requires PS2 to remove and treat approximately 800 tonnes of PCB contaminated solids generated by a municipality in Ontario utilizing its treatment facility located in Wolseley, Saskatchewan.
In September 2008 the federal government enacted new Federal PCB Regulations that mandate timelines for the removal and destruction of all PCB inventories including PCB impacted soil, which is harmful to human health and the environment.
The project, which is scheduled to commence this week, is the first contract to be secured for Phase Separation Solutions’ 2011 contract season.
Phase Separation Solutions president and CEO Paul Antle said that the company is pleased to see its inventory building for winter operations and expect a busy 12 months to come with the second phase of the Federal PCB Regulations decommissioning deadline approaching at the end of 2011.
