Overview: PSPC Roles in Contaminated Sites

• Custodian: responsible for management of its inventory – approximately $150M program (16-17 through 19-20)

• Expert Support: develop guidance for usage by federal community, address procurement issues, share innovative, green, sustainable approaches, and inform private sector of forecasted federal need for support

• Common Service Provider: provide technical advice, procurement support, and project management services to other federal custodians

4

Overview: Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan

• 15-year program to address federal contaminated sites involving up to 17 federal departments, agencies, and consolidated Crown corporations (custodians) which share the costs for site assessment and remediation

• $4.54B committed in Budgets 2003, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2016

• $2.98B approved for Phase I and II (2005-06 to 2015-16)

• $1.35B approved for Phase III (2016-17 to 2019-20)

• $217M allocated in Budget 2016 for accelerated activities in 2016-17 and 2017-18

5

Overview: Federal Contaminated Sites Action PlanObjectives• Reduce risks to human health and the environment; and • Reduce liability in the Public Accounts of Canada related to contaminated sites

Eligibility for FCSAP remediation funding• Assessed sites classified as high priority (Class 1) or medium priority

(Class 2) and• Legacy contamination that occurred on federal sites prior to 1998• Former mining sites in the North where companies have declared

bankruptcy

FCSAP Results: Achievements to Date

Since 2005• 14,800 person-year jobs created• Targeted the sites with highest risks and liabilities e.g. Giant and Faro Mines• Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line sites

Phase I(2005-2011)

Phase II(2011-2016)

Esquimalt First Nations

22

DND ESQUIMALT HARBOUR REMEDIATION PROJECT

Summary

• PSPC is an important program partner in the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan• Current forecast indicates more than $1.6B will be spent during the FY16-17 through

FY19-20• Significant projects in Pacific Region (BC and YT) include PEC Site CFB Esquimalt,

Alaska Highway sites, and Faro Mine• Current FCSAP program approved until March 31, 2020 so discussions concerning

successor program have been initiated
