The Proposed Project

Weenusk First Nation has proposed a Heating and Fuel Storage System Upgrades Project at Ma-Tah-Ha-Mao School. The existing interior fuel tank will be decommissioned, removed and replaced with a new exterior tank (11,000L) with a concrete pad and line system to the school. There will be fencing around the fuel tank. Design and construction have and will be completed to comply with TSSA requirements, CSA B139-19 Standards, ULC standards and The Storage Tank Systems For Petroleum and Allied Petroleum Products Regulations.
