PROJECT EXAMPLES
Kopeopeo Canal Remediation Project
This $21.3M project involved removing dioxin-contaminated sediment from a 5.1 km reach of the Kopeopeo Canal, in the Rangitaiki Plains west of Whakatane, eastern Bay of Plenty. Tuna (eel) living in the canal accumulated hazardous levels of dioxins, preventing local iwi Ngati Awa from making use of their highly prized traditional food source. Moreover, the contamination prevented regular canal maintenance dredging being carried out, threatening the regional flood management network and risking discharge of contamination onto surrounding farmland in a major flood. The sediment was safely removed into two containment cells, where it is securely contained while being bioremediated.
