Staying Alert

RemedX Remediation Services Inc. applied to Alberta Environment and Protected Areas for approval to construct and operate a private Class II Industrial Landfill north of the Town of Bassano, within the Couty of Newell, SW 4-23-18 W4M.

According to the Notice of Application dated August 14, 2024, the proposed landfill will accept solid non-hazardous industrial wastes, primarily generated in the oil and gas industry as a result of drilling, operations, and decommissioning activities.

The construction of a new, privately owned Class II landfill has the potential to divert industrial waste away from NRL. The diverted material (mainly contaminated soil) is revenue-producing for NRL. It is also used for approved landfill operations. A change in industrial revenues may impact solid waste rates for municipal partners. Industrial waste revenues are currently allocated to lower municipal solid waste requisitions.

The possible quantity of industrial waste diversion has not been confirmed, but it is anticipated by the NRL board and management; we are staying alert of the proposed RemedX development.
