Priciest territorial contaminated sites include abandoned mine, former town site
Three of Canada’s five most expensive federal contaminated sites are abandoned mines in the North. Former resource extraction projects are also among the most costly sites where the territories are responsible.
Yukon’s 2021-2022 public accounts include an estimated $94.6 million to remediate environmental contamination at 100 sites. The territory’s 2021-2022 public accounts include more than $99 million in environmental liabilities for 248 sites, including those where the N.W.T. has not accepted full responsibility.
Six abandoned mines are among sites where it has yet to be determined whether the N.W.T. or federal government is responsible.Nunavut took ownership of sites and activities associated with tank farms and power plants when it became a territory in 1999. It has yet to undergo devolution.
