LP plans bark waste burn in Chetwynd sparks outcry
Dawson LP proposes shipping 10 000 tonnes of bark waste from Dawson Creek to burn at their Chetwynd facility using a pit burner. Residents and councillors raise air pollution and health concerns while LP cites runoff containment, zoning, and MELP compliance. The project proceeds for 10 months with tender awarded to a Duncan BC firm despite local opposition.
