- Comment: I think this is definitely a viable topic! It just need to be fleshed out a little bit more with more sources. Ca talk to me! 15:18, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
The Francon snow depot is Montreal's largest snow dump, located in the Francon quarry.[1] It is kilometres long, 580 meters across, and 80 meters deep. The depot receives around 40% of the city's removed snow to around 4.8 million cubic meters. The snow melts throughout the summer months and is processed through the city's wastewater systems.[2] Due to the large volume of snow received, it does not usually fully melt until the fall.[3]
History[edit]
The depot was originally a quarry until the city purchased the land in 1980[3]
