This is to advise that on March 2, 2016, Envirosystems Inc. registered the Envirosystems Facility: Modification to Temporarily Store and Clean Low-Level NORM Waste and Equipment, and Treat Wash-Water Project for environmental assessment, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.
The purpose of the proposed project is to accept and treat NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) impacted wastes and equipment within the existing Envirosystems Inc. facility at 25 Akerley Blvd., Dartmouth, Halifax Regional Municipality.
