Bolton is built along the valley of the Humber River in the Town of Caledon, where rolling Oak Ridges Moraine uplands transition to steep valley slopes, floodplains, and older neighbourhoods close to the river—conditions that directly influence underground storage tank (UST) removal and remediation plans.

• Soil Type: The Bolton area features a mix of glacial tills, sand and gravel deposits tied to the Oak Ridges Moraine, and finer alluvial sediments in the Humber River floodplain. Coarser materials can allow fuel to move vertically more quickly, while silts and clays may hold hydrocarbons in perched layers. Our excavation and testing strategies are tailored to these conditions, with careful segregation of clean and impacted soil and attention to stability near slopes.
• Water Table & Proximity to Waterways: Much of downtown Bolton lies within the mapped floodplain of the Humber River, recognized as a Special Policy Area. High groundwater and active river processes mean any UST leak can travel toward the river, valley-bottom wetlands, or nearby wells. Our UST removal plans incorporate groundwater conditions, potential dewatering, and robust erosion/sediment controls, especially for properties close to the river corridor or on valley slopes.
• Regulatory & Real-Estate Considerations: In Bolton, excavation and building-related work are governed by the Town of Caledon’s Building Services, which administer permits and inspections under the Ontario Building Code. Properties within conservation authority–regulated areas (floodplains, valleylands, and wetlands) may need additional approvals. Real-estate transactions in older Bolton neighbourhoods often require documentation confirming that buried tanks have been removed and that soils meet MECP standards.
