NEW: Toronto Star article (March 1/03) "Digging for gold in a brownfield" talks about the reclamation of the many former industrial sites across Toronto ("the equivalent of more than four High Parks") for housing and other purposes, and cites the economic benefits, and also the many issues surrounding the cleanup of contamination left by the former industrial occupants. The article quotes Bob Willes, CEO of REON on brownfiled remediation.
Air quality report:
There were a number of complaints from area residents about dust and odours, and as
well as concerns about potential health impact from the construction work. Toronto Public
Health & the Ontario Ministry of the Environment reviewed, and requested improved
procedures for limiting impact. As well at their request, REON did a study of
potential health impact.
