Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC),
Environmental Services (ES), has been retained by Agriculture
and Agrifood Canada (AAFC) to manage the completion of petroleum
storage tank upgrades at the Beaverlodge Research Farm in
Beaverlodge, Alberta as detailed in the attached specification. 

Two new aboveground storage tank (AST) fuel systems that consist
of two 4500 L capacity double walled tanks, one for gasoline and
one for diesel, accessories, pumps, gauges and further
requirements as per the attached specification (Section 335613)
is to be supplied, approved and installed.  Some electrical is
required.  Impact protection required.  Chain link fencing
required.  Training in the system is required.  AAFC will
register the new tanks with Environment Canada.  Tanks must be
registered prior to commissioning. The new AST fuel systems are
to be operational before beginning the removal of the existing
underground storage tank (UST) fuel systems. 

The existing two UST fuel systems (two-4500 litre tanks plus
piping and pump island and soil) are to be removed and properly
disposed of.  Withdrawing the tanks from service will include
excavating the concrete pad and fill material above the UST
systems and piping, draining the fuel, removing and disposing of
the tanks and piping in accordance with applicable legislation,
and site rehabilitation (excavation area will be backfilled and
compacted, and surface material will be laid over top to match
the existing).  The excavated soil surrounding the system will
be stockpiled on site until soil sample results dictating
disposal are received.  Clean soil may be used as backfill.
