It's official: the clean up of Randle Reef, one of Hamilton's largest environmental problems, is moving ahead.
All the agreements are officially in place to move forward with the $139.9-million project to clean up a large area of toxic sediment in Hamilton Harbour.
“All legal agreements to fund and implement the project have been completed and signed,” the partners said in an announcement Monday.
That includes the federal and provincial government, the city of Hamilton, the Hamilton Port Authority, U.S. Steel Canada, the city of Burlington and Halton Region.
“The clean up of Randle Reef is important for the future of this community and reflects the Government of Canada’s commitment to clean water for Canadians,” said Leona Aglukkaq, federal environment minister, in a statement.
