Summary: The objective of this research is to assess the performance of lagoons and wetlands in the treatment of municipal wastewater in Canada's Arctic. A secondary objective is to determine the occurrence of trace contaminants in northern wastewaters. Samples will be taken from the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated wastewater) of each lagoon and wetland system in the communities where the r...

Principal Investigator: Bujold, Ron
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005
Summary: Sewage and wastewater treatment can be expensive and problematic in northern communities. Technology hitherto untried in the North will be tested to determine efficiency and the potential benefits to northern communities in terms of reduced economic burden and increased environmental benefits. Samples will be collected from the Rae and Edzo wastewater treatment facilities for baseline informati...
