LAVAL, QC, April 10, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Englobe Corp. welcomes yesterday's announcement about the release of the new version of the Soils Protection and Land Decontamination Policy and its 2017-2021 Action plan, made by Quebec Environment Minister, Mr. David Heurtel. The revised Policy confirms the Ministry's strong commitment to prioritize the use and development of Green Technologies in the contaminated soil management and treatment fields, in order to rectify wrongs of the past.
Englobe supports the Ministry's willingness to open new paths regarding reclamation of treated soils. By putting forward stronger incentives for optimum treatment of contaminated soils such as materials' traceability and reutilization of slightly contaminated soils, the new Policy contributes to the territory's sustainable revitalization while protecting resources.
The Minister worked towards a comprehensive review of the Policy, which was more than 20 years old, in a spirit of openness and attentiveness with respect to all stakeholders, proving that economic development and sustainable protection of the environment do go together. Englobe is planning to pursue its collaboration with the various stakeholders involved in the implementation of these new improvements and of the action plan.
