More clean up ahead for former Shell station in North Battleford
The owner of the former Shell Canada gas station on the corner of 100 St. and 19 Ave. in North Battleford is preparing to proceed with further soil clean up efforts on the property shortly.
North Battleford Mayor Ryan Bater is pleased to see the cleanup work continue.
“I think that is exactly what we want to see in the city – the reclamation of brownfield properties and the reclamation of contaminated properties,” he said. “We want to see those properties get back into the market.”
Current owner Environmental Liability Transfer Inc. – based in St. Louis, Missouri – acquired the property from Shell Canada in 2015, according to John Kowalik, the firm’s director of marketing. The company specializes in restoring brownfields and he said clean up work is in its final stages.
