SHRAGGE STEEL SITE CLEANED UP

Released on June 6, 2001

Clean up of the old Shragge Steel site in Regina is now complete. The

building has been demolished and the site is now free of contamination.



The Shragge Steel Building had been abandoned for a number of years, and

was in significant tax arrears. Aside from demolition of the building,

soil contaminated with various metals was removed and is being replaced

with clean fill. This clean up project will allow the property to once

again be used by the community.



The clean up was completed in large part due to an investment of

approximately $300,000 from the province's Centenary Fund. The four-year,

$120 million Centenary Fund is a capital infrastructure fund dedicated in

part to environmental clean-up projects around the province.



Environment and Resource Management (SERM) Minister Buckley Belanger and

City of Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco were on the site today to celebrate the

completion of this important environmental project.



"I think it is very fitting to make this announcement today during Canadian

Environment Week," Belanger said. "The completion of this project

demonstrates how SERM works with communities to address abandoned

contaminated sites and to help clean up our environment. The City of

Regina has done an excellent job in co-ordinating the clean up activity and

the area is now free of environmental concern."



"We are extremely pleased this site was recommended by SERM for demolition

and environmental clean up," Mayor Pat Fiacco said. "A project such as

this requires sufficient resources and support to ensure the safe removal

and disposal of contaminated materials. Our partnership with the

provincial government and the Centenary Fund ensured the successful clean

up of this site."



The agreement with the City of Regina was the first of several Centenary

Fund environmental clean up projects that will partner the province with

local governments.
