Angus is a growing community in Essa Township within the Nottawasaga River watershed, where glacial outwash plains, sandy soils, and nearby river corridors influence underground storage tank (UST) removal and remediation strategies.

• Soil Type: The Angus area commonly features sandy and sandy–loam soils over glacial sediments, with pockets of finer material and localized organic deposits in low-lying areas. These permeable soils can allow fuel to move downward relatively quickly, so our work emphasizes vertical delineation, staged excavation, and careful stockpiling to keep clean and impacted materials separate.
• Water Table & Proximity to Waterways: Angus is situated near reaches of the Nottawasaga River and its tributaries, which feed into the broader Nottawasaga Valley watershed and downstream wetlands. In low areas with higher groundwater, tank leaks can move toward surface water or wells. We assess groundwater conditions, plan for dewatering where necessary, and complete confirmatory sampling to document that receptors are protected.
• Regulatory & Real-Estate Considerations: Building permits and inspections for UST-related excavation and restoration are handled by Essa Township’s Building Department, alongside zoning and development rules. The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority regulates development in floodplains, valley systems, and wetlands, and may need to review work near regulated watercourses. We prepare our plans and reports to align with municipal bylaws and MECP/TSSA requirements, which also support real-estate due diligence.
