If you find an underground storage tank (UST) during your debris removal or rebuild
If you uncover an underground storage tank (UST) on your property, please follow these steps:
- Do not disturb the tank. Stop work in the area to prevent spills or contamination spread.
- Contact the Parks Canada Impact Assessment Team at environnementjasper-jasperenvironmental@pc.gc.ca.
- Contact a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) with professional designation, whose scope of practice includes remediation and/or Environmental Site Assessments and who has at least five years of related experience, to develop a plan for removal of the UST and remediation of any contamination left behind.
- Submit the QEP’s plan to Parks Canada for approval before any removal or remediation work begins.
- Follow the approved plan to have the tank removed, and disposed of outside the Park, and to test surrounding soils for contamination.
- Provide Parks Canada with the final removal and environmental site assessment report for review once the work is complete.
- Once Parks Canada accepts the final report, excavation work on site can resume.
If you uncover underground piping/infrastructure that may be related to a potential UST or you suspect an underground storage tank on your site, reach out to the Parks Canada Impact Assessment Team at environnementjasper-jasperenvironmental@pc.gc.ca.
These steps help ensure that any potential impacts to human health or the environment are properly managed.
