Sewage spill update

The City of Iqaluit has met the first requirement of a resolution resulting from charges laid in connection with a 2001 sewage spill.

Environment Canada has approved the city's new standard operation manual for sewage stations one and two. A training program has been scheduled for late May to meet the final requirement of the court's resolution.

Plans for new cemetery

Council is reviewing two possible sites for a new cemetery.

Dillon Consulting, which conducted the preliminary site assessment, has recommended that further tests be done on sites at Apex Road Hill and West 40 near the old airport runway.

The consulting firm has suggested that the Apex Road site should undergo a geo-technical study to assess soil depth. It also suggested that West 40 was inappropriate as it has drainage problems, land use conflicts and soil contamination as a result of being used as a metal dump.

However, if it is found that the Apex Road site doesn't have sufficient soil cover, the city will have to explore other potential sites.

Water treatment plant clean-up

Council will hire a consulting company to remove asbestos material and mold in the crawl space beneath the water treatment plant.

A hazardous-material survey and air-quality study performed by Trow Consulting last year found asbestos at the site.

The cost of the clean-up will be in the neighbourhood of $14,000.
