About
The Corporation conducted an innovative environmental project in this area to protect the St. Lawrence River from groundwater contaminants in the sector of the Bonaventure Expressway.
Together, the federal, provincial and municipal authorities responsible for this land are investing in restoring its ecological balance. The Corporation has spearheaded these historic partnerships to identify an integrated solution to this environmental problem for the entire site.
The west sector includes the land along the Gaétan-Laberge blvd. at the approach of the Bonaventure Expressway. In this area, groundwater analyses indicated the presence of ammonia nitrogen, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and dissolved metals.
The east sector includes the section of the Bonaventure Expressway between the Clément Bridge and Victoria Bridge. Here, testing detected free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel) contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These hydrocarbons float at the top of groundwater.
For detailed environmental information, we invite you to consult the Reports and studies page.
