In Port Hope, Ontario, the Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO), which AECL operates for Natural Resources Canada on a cost-recovery basis, has completed the Environmental Assessment Study Report for the remediation of historic liabilities (mainly contaminated soils) in this and neighbouring municipalities. The report found that the Port Hope Project can be carried out without significant residual adverse effects on the environment or human health and safety. The project has involved extensive public consultation on design, application of mitigation measures, monitoring and long-term site planning.

More detailed information on the LLRWMO and its activities can be found on its website, (www.llrwmo.org).
