Re: “CRD backpedals on sludge site,” June 29.
The bottom line is that this plant should not go in anyone’s backyard.
The Capital Regional District has a promising report identifying more than 30 sites that could benefit from a 21st-century integrated resource-management approach. It has chosen to ignore the report.
This type of distributed system, with smaller facilities similar to Dockside Green, could provide maximum resource-recovery potential when located next to hospitals, rec centres and schools, etc., with minimum impact on communities. This is what the CRD should be pursuing.
Please go back to the drawing board, CRD, and come back with the RITE plan.
Respectful of communities
Innovative
Taxpayer friendly
Environmentally sound
It’s time for a pause and a re-think on sewage treatment in the capital region.
