The Challenge

Precipitation over the project sites at the Surrey and Burnaby BC locations becomes contaminated as the scrap product leaches metals and hydrocarbons. ABC devised an integrated water management plan that required a fixed water treatment system to treat surface water runoff to applicable discharge guidelines.
