ACC – Environmentalist still worried March 19th, 2010 cfjc website
SIGHS OF RELIEF CAN BE HEARD ACROSS THE CITY NOW THAT A WINNIPEG COMPANY HAS DECIDED TO TAKE ITS CONTROVERSIAL GASIFICATION PLANT ELSEWHERE. ACC’S KIM SIGURDSON NOTIFIED THE MEDIA OF HIS DECISION BY E-MAIL OVERNIGHT. BUT RETIRED ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT DON BARZ POINTS OUT SIGURDSON STILL HAS AN AIR PERMIT FOR HIS KAMLOOPS LOCATION AND IF HIS SEARCH FOR A “FRIENDLIER” SPOT DOESN’T PAN OUT, HE MAY BE BACK. KAMLOOPS COUNCILLOR TINA LANGE DOUBTS THAT WOULD HAPPEN — SAYING SIGURDSON WAS ” PRETTY BEAT UP ” BY THOSE OPPOSED TO HIS PLANT. CITIZENS BECAME DISTRUSTFUL OF THE PROJECT WHEN SIGURDSON FAILED TO HOLD PUBLIC CONSULTATION SESSIONS.
