Curry Drive is located to the southwest, and forested land is located to the north, northeast and southeast of the Site. Kam Lake is located approximately 30 m north and east of the Site, and the area generally slopes down towards Kam Lake. The Site consists of two lots: Lot 6 (the southern lot) and Lot 7 (the northern lot). The Site currently consists of a Bulk (petroleum product storage facility) and Cardlock facility (commercial fueling facility). We also plan to work on the neighbouring properties at 13 Coronation Drive (Lot 28, Block 502, Plan 900) and 15 Coronation Drive (Lot 40, Block 502, Plan 4016) pending access agreements with the owners. The scope of work consists of drilling five boreholes to depths of approximately 13 m to 20 m below grade and installing groundwater monitoring wells in each borehole. These wells will assess groundwater conditions at and near the Site. Two previously installed groundwater monitoring wells that are no longer in use will also be decommissioned.
