Site Reclamation
Westco, a division of Viterra Inc., is dedicated to providing a reliable supply of crop nutrients and related services to customers.
Prior to 1987, the company was a producer of agricultural fertilizers. In this role, Westco owned and operated two production facilities in Alberta: Medicine Hat and Calgary. Both facilities were shut down in 1987. Our goal is to decommission and reclaim these sites in a responsible and efficient manner in compliance with environmental legislation.
Alberta Environment (AENV) has granted Approvals for both sites. The Approvals incorporate Westco’s detailed Decommissioning & Reclamation (D&R) Strategies, which address facility demolition, completion of environmental investigations, and development and implementation of remediation activities where necessary. Specific remediation activities are then approved by AENV on a case-by-case basis.
Throughout the reclamation process, Westco and Viterra are committed to ensuring that opinions and concerns of the community are understood. For that reason, Community Liaison programs have been implemented at both sites to ensure the community focus.
