Need more housing? There are lots of big, brownfield sites in the heart of Canada’s cities
Shawinigan - Abandoned, derelict and badly contaminated industrial sites known as brownfields are beginning to appeal to the pluckiest of developers and municipalities. Drawing pollution out of the ground before starting a real estate project makes for a long, complicated and high-stakes venture. But the rewards in new tax revenues and urban renewal possibilities make the effort worthwhile. In Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's riding, for example, the Quebec government, the city of Shawinigan and the Canadian subsidiary of a major paint and chemical manufacturer teamed up for the $24.8-million cleanup of a severely contaminated industrial brownfield site, drenched for nearly 50 years with a witch's brew of chemicals. Soon it will be home to a new Wal-Mart store and a Canadian Tire gas bar. Quebec has agreed to provide a so-called Revi-Sols grant, to be administered by the city of Shawinigan, toward accelerated remediation of ICI Canada Inc.'s polluted 7.9-hectare site -- a project the company had already started on its own. ICI is a subsidiary of Imperial Chemical Industries of Canada Ltd., in turn owned by Imperial Chemical Industries PLC. Pictured: Some aerial pictures taken during the soil excavation part of the remediation in 2001. These pictures are of two areas of the three that were done.
