Not sure what happened to December 2015 report on the contamination, but according to this article, there won't be a report until April 2016.

WorleyParsons has been hired to conduct a six-month environmental study to assess the scale of contamination in the West Village, said the city’s land development subsidiary.

The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation said Thursday the firm will oversee a three-step assessment of the 56-hectare site on the western edge of downtown, where the Flames organization has proposed building a massive sports complex.

Starting Nov. 10, WorleyParsons will begin drilling and collecting soil samples at several locations on the site, which is currently occupied by several car dealerships, a Greyhound terminal and Pumphouse Theatre.

The company will also review reams of historical documents and earlier environmental reports, the CMLC said in a statement.

“We are initiating a three step environmental assessment … to understand the degree of contamination and the impact of contamination on the site’s redevelopment potential,” Michael Brown, president and CEO of the CMLC, said in a statement.
