Passive Remediation Systems Ltd on Our Okanagan:

Passive Remediation Systems Ltd. (PRS) was formed in 2004 in response to the growing need for disposal of landfill leachate in today's communities, the need to create buffers for farms and streams and to create true employment.

By applying the emerging Phytoremediation Technology to landfill leachate utilization by way of irrigating fast growing hybrid poplar orchards in the landfill buffer zones, we can offer a cost effective and environmentally sound means of leachate management. In many cases, brownfields or hydro carbon polluted areas or soils can be remediated naturally.  Environmental benefits or carbon credit earnings go to the customer, as per British Columbia legislation as part in parcel of PRS activities.

In the farming communities we can mitigate the flow of nutrients downstream with planted buffer zones, as well as create visually esthetic barriers. In the urban community, catch basin water and the sun's energy can be utilized to produce wood fiber near or around man made or natural marsh lands. 

As the poplar plantations mature an ideal source of wood fibre becomes available for harvesting. Lands once questionable for agricultural use may be preserved for food production all the while cleansing the air of CO2.
