Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the residents of Cambridge Bay that a contractor will be in the community from September 2 until September 6, to complete an environmental site assessment at the Power Plant (Lot 8-1, Block 6; Lot 1 and 2, Block 6; Lot 8, Block 20), and the old QEC Staff House, #1 Amagok Street (Lot 18, Block 17).
The contractor will be using heavy equipment to collect samples in the area marked in red on the map below. Residents are asked to avoid this area to ensure work can be done safely.
This environmental site assessment is a routine part of QEC’s proactive approach to property management. The corporation’s Health, Safety and Environment Department will examine the results to determine the next steps required for environmental due diligence. QEC makes every effort to limit the corporation’s environmental footprint.
QEC apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
