CONTAMINATED SITES BEING CLEANED UP IN MOOSE JAW

Released on July 17, 2000

The City of Moose Jaw will begin the clean up of three contaminated service

station sites for redevelopment at 110 4th Avenue NW, 240 Caribou Street W, and

546 Manitoba Street E. The sites will be sold following the clean up,

scheduled for this fall, and proceeds of the sale will be used to clean up

other contaminated sites in the city.



"We applaud the City of Moose Jaw for their efforts to clean up the

environment," Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management (SERM) Minister

Buckley Belanger said. "The success of this project shows how SERM can help

communities clean up abandoned contaminated sites."



Mayor Ray Boughen of the City of Moose Jaw said, "The city has been restricted

in its use of some properties because of environmental contamination. We are

proud of the collaboration with the provincial government and the financial

support from the federal government to allow for an innovative environmentally

friendly program."



SERM and the City of Moose Jaw today signed an agreement making the clean up

possible by acknowledging SERM's polluter pay policy on contaminated site

liability. SERM's policy recognizes that liability should follow the act of

contamination - "polluter pays". The city's efforts to clean up several

contaminated sites for redevelopment will not make them liable for any

unexpected contamination detected at the site.
