HRM to Draft New By-Law for C and D Facilities
(Monday, January 15/2001)-- Halifax Regional Municipality will hold a public consultation process allowing citizens opportunities to voice their thoughts and ideas about a licensing process and operating regulations for C and D (construction and demolition) facilities within the region.
Licensing and regulation of C and D facilities is the final step in the overall implementation of HRM's Solid Waste Management Strategy. At present, the municipality has very little regulatory control over where these types of facilities may locate, and how they operate.
Officials of the Planning and Development and the Solid Waste Resource divisions will hold a news conference later this week to outline details of this public consultation process.
When: Wednesday, January 17/2001
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Where: Halifax Hall, City Hall, 1841 Argyle Street, Halifax
