YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport - Installation of a New Exterior Belt at Gate 48
Notice of Determination
April 26, 2024 – ADM Aéroports de Montréal has determined that the proposed project for the installation of a new exterior belt at Gate 48 at YUL Montreal-Trudeau International Airport is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects by applying the mitigation measures planned for the project.
This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:
- Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures;
- Community knowledge;
- Indigenous knowledge and impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples.
The mitigation measures considered for this determination are as follows:
Air quality
- Equip vehicles with a functional emission control exhaust system
- Turn off engines on gasoline-powered vehicles and equipment when not in use.
- Keep trucking paths and driveways clean without build-up of granular materials
Soundscape
- Use broadband or dimmable backup alarms
- Prevent dump truck doors from slamming
Soil quality
- Cover the ground with a geomembrane in areas provided for the storage of materials
- Manage contaminated soils in compliance with applicable regulations
- Segregate excavated soils according to their degree of contamination
Groundwater and/or surface water quality
- Protect storm sewers from contaminant discharge during construction at all times
- Ensure that a spill kit is available at all times
Accordingly, ADM Aéroports de Montréal may exercise its powers to enable the project to be carried out.
