1575 Lakeshore West, Mississauga ON
was originally part of the Clarkson Manor Project of Moldenhauer Lifestyles - controlled by Michael Moldenhauer.
This property is for sale.
It is next door to a park, Birchwood Park, previously a dump site.
This site is a known brownfield - with known leachatte according to the Region of Peel.
The 'brownfield' designation comes from the property's history.
Back in the 1960's the property was used by Ontario Hydro to dump
the ash from the bottom of the furnaces at the Lakeview Generating plant
in the Cawthra area.
The ash, known as 'Fly Ash', was freely dumped without record,
all over that site and surrounding area, according to the region's report
and folklore.
The site at that time was an old worked out gravel pit owned by
a local business person, Trenwill.
Time moved on and the City of Mississauga covered the dump with
top soil and planted grass.
Methane gas is produced from this type of situation by water seeping
into the fly ash, then the process to create methan gas is started.
Where the gas goes and how it effects building development is
not published for this site yet.
