Bennett Environmental, Inc. is proposing to import large quantities of toxic waste (100,000+ tons per year of contaminated soil), from polluted sites in the U.S. & Canada, then burning it in the Chaleur region of New Brunswick. Bennett facilities have been rejected in the province of British Columbia, Ontario and by the state of Massachusetts. But, the New Brunswick government, dismissing fierce opposition from doctors, scientists, environmentalists, and many concerned citizens, has given preliminary approval for a Bennett toxic waste incinerator in Belledune, New Brunswick. The incinerator is currently under construction and could be operational in the spring of 2004. The public comment period ends on April 19, 2004. We need help getting the word out!
