Er no, on so many levels. This is a multi billion dollar project taking until 2030. The $52m is just for the new dewatering plant that allows Metro Vancouver to decommission the settlement lagoons. Those aren't particularly toxic, as there's no buildup of dried sludge as it's removed once it's dried out. Some of it is processed into landscaping material, but there's big piles of it elsewhere on the site (where they aren't planning on creating any wetlands) that will need to be removed so more of the new plant can be built in the next few years. "Metro Vancouver estimates that there are 200,000 tons of bio-solids on site that have to be removed with trucks now hauling the material away. In early February, there remained 180,000 tons to be taken to gravel pits, mine reclamation projects or used for landscaping." More
