Contaminated REM soil buried in Ontario
Even though there are facilities in Quebec with the expertise to decontaminate soil and rocks and other excavation trash, the REM project chose instead to have 600 tons of ejecta buried in Ontario because it was cheaper.
Great shot of the dig on McGill College.

“La traçabilité de tous les camions de transport a été documentée et assurée du début à la fin de l’opération. Ce ballast a été disposé en respect de toute la réglementation applicable.”

I wonder what kind of tracking system they use ? Would it be GPS tracking for hundreds of trucks? So is the documentation he mentions in the form of GPS data records ?
That would be great,given the awful record of illegal dumping going on in Construction industry.

That was the point of having the CDPQ run it, so they can bypass the Quebec first contract stipulations that the government itself has to follow.

I think GPS trackers are pretty standard on large trucks these days. The owners want to know where their drivers are going, what routes they take, etc. Long distance tractor trailers have equipment that records all that plus speed, shifting and fuel efficiency, length of breaks taken etc etc.
