McCue was contracted to complete construction of a partially constructed water treatment plant at the Faro Mine site in the Yukon., which is overseen by Parsons Corporation.
Faro Mine was once the largest open pit lead-zinc mine in the world. Today, it is the site of one of the most complex abandoned mine remediation projects in Canada. The mine spans 25 sq. km, an area roughly the size of the city of Victoria, British Columbia.
The Faro Mine Remediation Project was established to prevent the contamination of nearby land and water from the former mining operation.
