One Man Changes the Face of 2020’s Top 10

Top100 Projects — 2020 f not for one individual, this year’s Top100 may have looked An annual report inserted in familiar. ReNew ’s I When this year’s research process began, there was little change within this year’s Top 10, as many of the nation’s January/February 2020 issue megaprojects were still in progress. Significant progress has been made on all of the projects we saw grace the Top 10 in our report last year, but completion dates extend beyond the end of the MANAGING Andrew Macklin 2019 calendar year. EDITOR [email protected] Enter Matt Clark, Metrolinx’s Chief Capital Officer, who took GROUP over the position from Peter Zuk. You see, when Zuk was in charge Todd Latham PUBLISHER of publicly expressing capital budgets, particularly in the context of the GO Expansion project, he had done so by breaking down PUBLISHER Nick Krukowski the $13.5 billion spend by corridor. That breakdown led to the full expansion represented by as many as nine projects in the content ART DIRECTOR AND Donna Endacott SENIORDESIGN of the Top100. Clark does it differently. In the quarterly reports made public ASSOCIATE following Metrolinx board meetings, the capital projects for the Simran Chattha EDITOR GO Expansion are broken down into three allotments (on corridor, off corridor, and early works). The result? Six less GO Expansion CONTENT AND MARKETING Todd Westcott projects in the Top100, but two new projects in our Top 10 MANAGER including a new number one. In combination with this new breakdown, and a series of Nick Krukowski ADVERTISING additional new entries to the report, we find ourselves on the [email protected] cusp of a quarter-trillion dollars accounted for in the pages of this report, rocketing up from last year’s $212.6 billion to just over $240 billion.

Low-level waste consists of material that may be contaminated through the normal course of operations at a nuclear facility such as paper towels, mops, and used tools. While low-level waste does not require specialized shielding for workers, the intermediate waste will require special handling and can consist of items such as irradiated core components, ion exchange resins, and various filters. Used fuel, considered high- level waste, is not to be stored in the Deep Geologic Repository (DGR). The repository will safely isolate and contain the waste underground ensuring protection of the water and the environment for many thousands of years. It will be buried 680 metres—deeper than the CN Tower is tall—in stable rock formations that are more than 450 million years old. In May 2015, an independent Federal Joint Review Panel recommended to the Federal Minister of the Environment that OPG be granted a licence to construct the DGR. In August 2017, OPG was asked for further information about the project from Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, including an update on impacts to the Saugeen Ojibway Nation. Negotiations with both parties to allow the project to move forward are still ongoing.
