Nova Scotia: Boat Harbour cleanup project on the way May 3, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic Nova Scotia Lands Inc. is currently working on the Boat Harbour Remediation Project that will remove all sludge material from the harbour effluent treatment facility aeration stabilization basins. The Boat Harbour effluent treatment facility, located in north central Nova Scotia on the Northumberland Strait, was constructed in 1967 and reconfigured several times since its construction. The Government of Nova Scotia owns the Boat Harbour facility and operated the facility until December 1995. In January 1996, the facility was leased to the owners of the pulp mill at Abercrombie Point, who have operated it since.
