Here are some web pages describing some of the services offered by HAZCO:
The area of space indicated by HAZCO for its proposed sulphur storage and management facility comprises a whole square mile of land that constitutes Lamont County's prime industrial land (zoned for discretionary use — meaning that it is entirely up to the Lamont County Council to give or withhold permission to HAZCO to locate there, less than two miles straight east of Bruderheim).
Residents in Lamont County of course have the concern that if HAZCO is permitted to locate here, especially given the disproportionately large area of land HAZCO wants to put into use, that the HAZCO site would be put to use for other industrial waste handling and disposal. When a HAZCO representative was asked whether HAZCO intends to use the site of interest to them for such other purposes, he responded, "The quick answer is, no." That provides cause for apprehension as to what the slow answer may be and does nothing to alleviate concerns about the fact that if HAZCO builds here, its presence will be just the foot in the door to turn Lamont County into the dumping ground for wastes produced by Alberta's oil and gas industry. |
