Radar Sites Cleaned Up

Sixteen abandoned Cold War radar sites in northern Ontario will be cleaned up over the next six years at an estimated cost of more than $100 million dollars.

The province will provide $73 million to clean up toxic materials at all 16 radar sites.

The federal government will contribute up to $30 million to help clean up 11 of the most highly contaminated radar stations.

The sites, part of the old Mid-Canada advance warning line, are contaminated with PCBs, hydrocarbons, mercury, and asbestos.
