Clean up project in Port Hope
The Port Hope Area Initiative (PHAI) represents the Government of Canada’s commitment to respond to the community driven request for the cleanup and local, long-term, safe management of the historic low-level radioactive waste in the municipalities of Port Hope and Clarington.
The Port Hope Project involves the construction of a long-term waste management facility and supporting infrastructure for the safe, long-term management of approximately 1.2 million cubic metres of historic low-level radioactive waste, cleanup of the waste from various sites in Port Hope and its transportation to the facility, and long-term maintenance and monitoring.
Municipal Staff - Environmental Remediation Division
Staff in the Environmental Remediation Division facilitate project implementation and serve as a liaison with PHAI staff. The team provides the necessary contractor permits for project activities and coordinates efforts between PHAI initiatives and the Municipality's planned scopes of work.
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) Contractors
As part of the project, the Municipality established Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines (SOPs/SOGs). The SOPs/ SOGs document exists to assist contractors, the PHAI, and the Municipality through implementation of the project.
CNL approved contractors working on the PHAI are requested to contact the Environmental Remediation Department by email. Contractors may request a copy of the SOPs/SOGs, receive permit application forms, and information on the Alternate Locate Agreement (ALA), including how to obtain an approved contractor locate ID for allowable work, as well as assistance with other general inquiries.
