St. Marys River Geotechnical Sediment Assessment

As an important part of the Remedial Action Plan for the St. Marys River Area of Concern, a geotechnical assessment of sediment in the area East of Bellevue Marine Park (near the sailing club) is currently being undertaken to assess the sediment’s geotechnical properties, depth, and contaminant profile.

The project is being led by the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre and M.R., Wright & Associates Co. Ltd., and was carried out in collaboration with Environment Canada, the Ministry of the Environment, Algoma University, Marathon Drilling Ltd., Purvis Marine, ConeTech, and Guardian Rescue Services. Funding for the study was provided by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Environment Canada.
