ABSTRACT
Several attempts to defi ne a remediation project have been tried without resolution since the discovery of the contamination in 1985. In 2002 a process was established to defi ne a remediation project that could move forward to implementation. Similar to the F&WHRP, a PAG was formed and this group worked through a process attempting to reach consensus on a fi nal design and implementation. Th e same steps as set out previously for the F&WHRP case study were followed and are therefore not repeated here; however, it should be noted that because of the more complex nature of the Randle Reef Project, additional expertise was brought to bear and additional time was required by this PAG. Emphasis was also placed on securing representation from local neighbourhood groups surrounding and downwind of the site along with the union at Stelco (currently U. S. Steel Canada). Both of these groups had been left out of the previous exercises and took issue with those proposals. Previously a Steering Committee of government agencies had directed all input into the project; albeit with a public consultation process at the end.
