Anatomy of a Large, Complex, Hospital Oil Spill

By Dan McNicoll and Mark McCalla, Senior Forensic Geoscientists, exp Services Inc. Ottawa
Kathy O’Neill and Philippe Marleau, Senior Staff Members, The Montfort Hospital in Ottawa.

In January 2009, a large furnace oil spill occurred beneath a brand new, $50 million, stateof-the-art, operating hospital building in Ottawa. What followed was an extensive emergency response program, a comprehensive subsurface investigation, a detailed remedial options analysis, the operation of a pilot scale and permanent remediation system, the implementation of a comprehensive indoor air quality monitoring program and the establishment of working groups to track and address employee’s concerns - all cumulating in a comprehensive investigation and subsequent validation by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. What follows is a summary of these events.
