Under its Real Property Services branch, Public Works and Government
Services Canada (PWGSC) is providing project management, environmental,
and engineering services for the environmental remediation of the
former United States Naval Facility in Argentia, Newfoundland. The
10-year, $106M remediation program, which began in the Fall of 1996,
is one of the largest environmental remediation projects in Canada.
As custodian of the former American Naval Facility, PWGSC has been
mandated to complete the Environmental Remediation of the site to
the guidelines set out by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the
Environment (CCME) and return the property to the community for
commercial/industrial redevelopment. To learn more about Public
