To address the growing volumes of drilling waste from the Horn River and Montney shale gas plays in Northeast BC, two Alberta based companies have filed apppropriate applications to build land fill sites to accept and manage contaminated soil that is not allowed in municipal landfills.
- Calgary-based CCS Corp. proposes to build a 65-hectare landfill 15 kms west of Dawson Creek with a life span of 25 to 40 years. First stage costs estimated at $2.0 million.
- Calgary-based Secure Energy Services proposes a 34-hectare landfill 5 kms south of Tupper, BC at a cost of $7.0 million.
