Owners of a former PCB storage site in Pointe-Claire have until February to produce a plan to rehabilitate the Hymus Blvd. property, the city of Pointe-Claire said in a recent statement.

A Quebec tribunal judge recently dismissed an application from Juste Investir, current owners of the old Reliance Power Equipment Corps site, to suspend a ministerial order to clean up the site where PCBs were once illegally stored. The order was issued on Feb. 5, 2016, by Quebec Environment Minister David Heurtel.

In its application to the Tribunal administratif du Québec, Juste Investir argued the cost of cleaning up the industrial site could be as high as $7.8 million.

Juste Investir must now produce a plan by Feb. 6 to restore the site.

Pointe-Claire Mayor Morris Trudeau said he is determined to get the site cleaned up.

The city also noted the site does not pose a health risk to local residents.
