Sonic Finishes Contract for On-Site Treatment of PCB Contaminated Soil
Vancouver, Canada - Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (SNV-TSX Venture Exchange) today reported that the Company has finished its first Ontario contract for the on-site treatment of PCB contaminated soil. The project was contracted and announced in October 2006, and the Sonic treatment system was deployed to the site in November, 2006.
In excess of 600 tonnes of contaminated soil was treated on-site using Sonic’s non-thermal patented solvent extraction technology. The soil was mostly treated in December before demobilization from the site in January 2007. The soil was cleaned in compliance with the requirements for industrially zoned sites in Ontario and was placed back on the property. This contract was awarded to Sonic by a recognized Canadian environmental contractor.
Larry Rodricks, Sonic’s VP Remediation Services, stated “This project is the first project to be completed by Sonic in Ontario and Sonic treated more than the originally estimated volume of soil, on schedule and within budget. This project utilized Sonic’s proprietary system for the remediation of PCB contaminated soil. Sonic worked with the prime contractor who delineated the extent of the contamination and carried out the site civil work. Sonic’s system is permitted and approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.”
Sonic is also currently undertaking a project in Greater Toronto where the Company has mobilized a second PCB remediation system. The Company has previously undertaken projects to treat PCB and other persistent organic pollutants in Canada and the USA and has internationally licenced operators.
