Description
This is to advise that on October 29, 2024, GFL Environmental Services Inc registered the Aerotech Waste Handling Facility Project, Halifax County for environmental assessment, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.
The purpose of the proposed undertaking is the expansion and operation of the existing waste handling facility for the temporary storage of Waste Dangerous Goods (WDG) and Waste Non-Dangerous Goods (WNDG) in quantities that exceed the Nova Scotia Dangerous Goods Management Regulations. The project will provide additional local capacity to temporarily and safely handle WDG and WNDG in a manner that they can be consolidated and shipped to a final (licensed) disposal facility. The proposed undertaking will take place at 203 Aerotech Drive, Goffs, Nova Scotia (PID 41195512). The site of the proposed undertaking has been operated as a waste collection, storage and treatment facility since 2005. Project activities will include expansion of the existing building and exterior tank farm as well as upgrades to storm water infrastructure. The project is expected to commence in April 2025 and has an expected operational life of 20+ years.
Minister's Decision
On or before December 18, 2024, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change will decide if the project can be granted conditional environmental assessment approval.
