Dust is one of the biggest issues we deal with in the interface between the community and the port authority. Through our work in developing a sustainability model, the biggest single point the neighbourhoods were bringing up was dust. We're putting that as one of our key areas in building integration.
A real material example of that is the speed with which we're covering salt piles and dust piles, and the introduction of conveyer systems so that material can be moved under cover, as opposed to in the open air, and be less exposed to the wind and the risk. We're paving over some of the sites that are currently unpaved and become a source of dust. We've invested heavily into street sweeping and cleaning up the area that way. We took a model from the Port of Quebec and put a dust monitoring system in place to truly understand where the dust is coming from and then analyze that to see if we can pinpoint the problems.
That's one area that was of particular concern.
The other one is traffic. We've also spent a lot of time working with the City of Hamilton on its transportation master plan to try to understand how best to deal with the truck flows in particular—how to minimize the impact on the community and create truck routes that prevent that.
The final area is a lot of communication. In Hamilton, they're developing a new residential community 200 metres away from the flour mill I mentioned earlier. There's a lot of communication around how we develop that community. Taking some pages out of what happened in Toronto with the Redpath site, we're asking how we can configure the buildings to minimize the creation of dust at the source point. In that situation, the grain mill there has invested almost $10 million in the most modern spout in the world to minimize the dust impact.
