Junkyard Biosphere | Future Transformations Previously an auto wrecking yard and used tire lot for 50+ years, this site has pockets of heavy metals & petroleum hydrocarbons, plus heaps of tires, car parts, & industrial debris. The junkyard abuts the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. This feasibility study explores rehabilitation & development of the site.The preliminary proposal shrinks the wrecking yard, and removes hot spots of contamination. It carves out space for a retirement home, provides a new access point and parking for the Bruce Trail, and grows a re-naturalized buffer zone using bioremediation and phytoremediation methods.
