Project Summary
One of the leading causes of environmental impacts is fuel storage tank leakage. Solstice has been involved in the assessment and remediation of over 20,000 m3 of impacted soils and groundwater in the community of Chateh, Alberta. This project has been implemented with a combination of in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and ex-situ bioremediation techniques, based on areas of particular concern to the community and areas with previous difficulties using in-situ treatment. ISCO (in-situ) is continuing for zones where excavation is restricted due to existing land use and infrastructure limitations; excavation and bioremediation treatment (ex-situ) have been conducted in areas where ISCO is not feasible.
Project Legacy
Solstice is committed to investing in the communities that we work with. We believe in the value of building capacity, utilizing small businesses and supporting community prosperity from the inside. This commitment has been prioritized through all stages of the underground fuel storage clean-up. Solstice directly employs DTFN members as environmental monitors, as well as contracting several DTFN member owned and local area service providers including excavation, hauling, catering, accommodations, field logistics and rentals.

land acknowledgment
Solstice Environmental Management resides and works in Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8 territories.
Out of respect, truth, and reconciliation, we acknowledge that these regions are home to First Nations, Cree, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Inuit, and Metis peoples, both past and present. We honour the intimate connection that the First Peoples of Canada share with this traditional territory and wish to further empower the Indigenous sovereignty of land management through a partnership grounded in a mutual respect of the Earth. We believe we have much to learn and share in our desire to protect the natural landscapes and sacred lands that were first cared for by the First Peoples of Canada.
