Brighton sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario near Presqu’ile Bay and Presqu’ile Provincial Park, with raised beach deposits, wetlands, and lakefront neighbourhoods—conditions that can influence underground storage tank (UST) removal and remediation plans.

• Soil Type: Around Brighton and Presqu’ile, glacial lake and raised beach deposits create a mix of sand, silt, and clay over shallow till and bedrock. These variable soils can either drain quickly or hold petroleum in tighter layers, so we plan staged excavation, careful segregation/stockpiling, and targeted soil testing to follow any impacted material through changing soil conditions.
• Water Table & Proximity to Waterways: Many properties drain toward Presqu’ile Bay, Lake Ontario, and nearby wetlands, as well as local creeks that form part of the Lower Trent watershed. In low-lying or shoreline areas, groundwater can be seasonally elevated, allowing leaks from a buried tank to migrate toward surface water, wells, or wetlands. Our work plans account for local groundwater behaviour, potential dewatering, and confirmatory sampling to protect sensitive receptors.
• Regulatory & Real-Estate Considerations: Excavation and site restoration in Brighton are regulated through the Municipality’s Planning and Building Department, which issues building permits and reviews work for compliance with local bylaws and the Ontario Building Code. Conservation authority review may apply for projects near regulated shorelines, creeks, or wetlands. Real-estate transactions, especially for older oil-heated homes and cottage properties, often request clear documentation that any UST has been removed and that soils meet MECP/TSSA standards.
