COVID pandemic delays Sylvan Lake No Landfill Disposal Facility project
The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed plans to have a new waste disposal facility up and running in Sylvan Lake later this year.
According to Town officials, Fogdog Energy’s proposed No Landfill Disposal Facility (NLDF) will not be up and running by Dec. 15, 2020 as previously planned, but is now hoped to be operational by Dec. 31, 2021.
The new date will arrive three years after a contractually obligated “effective date”, as per a Master Services Agreement between the Town and Fogdog.
In an email to the Town on Jan. 15, Fogdog officials said they were in the process of ensuring compliance for their equipment within the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
