St. Marys Cement Inc. (Canada), operating as CBM Ready Mix, experienced an incident involving the release of CemPlus (a dry powdered slag used in the production of ready-mixed concrete). This release occurred at their facility located at 55 Industrial Street, Toronto, Ontario. A portion of the release discharged to the City main storm sewer located under CBM Ready Mix property. The storm sewer discharges to the Walmsley Brook. Walmsley Brook traverses properties owned by Hydro One Networks Inc. and the City of Toronto. Transportation has granted a temporary construction access permit to access the property to complete the remedial work. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is also requesting a letter of acknowledgment to be signed as form of approval of the work that is to be performed as part of the Walmsley Brook Remediation on the City of Toronto road allowance. Transportation Services does not have authority to sign the letter requested by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
