Waste Transfer Facility Approval for Bluewater Environmental Solutions - St. Catharines
Official title: Bluewater Environmental Solutions Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
Ontario is considering approving a new waste transfer facility in St. Catharines. The site would handle up to 120 tonnes of waste daily, including hazardous materials like waste oil. The facility would operate 24/7 on a 9.4-hectare property on Glendale Avenue.
Why This Matters
Live near Glendale Avenue in St. Catharines? This facility would operate around the clock, handling hazardous waste. Truck traffic, noise, and potential odours could affect your neighbourhood. If you have concerns about a 24/7 waste operation nearby, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Bluewater Environmental Solutions could receive up to 43,800 tonnes of waste annually at this location. The facility would store hazardous materials like waste oil in enclosed structures. Operating conditions and environmental safeguards would be set through the Environmental Compliance Approval.
