Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the residents of Kugluktuk that a contractor will be in the community from August 29 to 30, to complete an environmental site assessment at the Power Plant (Lot 26, 18 and 19).
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.
