Management of excess soil whether from construction or contaminated site clean-up has become a major impediment to development. The need to find better solutions that are cost effective, practical and sustainable has never been greater. In this workshop, we will define and discuss common problems and issues, and explore innovation solutions that treat excess soil as a resource rather than a waste. We will cover regulatory hurdles creating unintended consequences, alternative solutions for reuse of waste soils, and technical methods for treating and testing soil. We will share our experiences and have a panel discussion ​with plenty of time for Q&As. ​​  

This​ ​year the workshop will be both in-person and virtual using advanced networking software. We also want to get you involved! You’ll receive a survey ahead of the workshop that will seek your input, asking for topics that you’d like to have discussed among the speakers and with your peers.  

The morning session of this workshop will cover regulatory and developer’s perspectives on soil relocation, including hurdles and opportunities.  The afternoon session will focus on the situation in Ontario, innovative approaches and indigenous issues.  We will wrap up with an open and frank panel discussion on key issues. Video recordings will be available for those that cannot attend all sessions.   

Whether you are a project manager, regulator, risk assessor, site investigator, remediation specialist, or site owner – there will be content for you, with opportunities to ask questions and exchange ideas. This is ​the​ 2023 remediation workshop you won’t want to miss!​ And your attendance will qualify for professional development hours!​ ​
