Fort St John OSB plant draws aviation visibility concerns
Slocan LP OSB Corp plans an Fort St John mill this year after an environmental review but must still obtain an air permit. Neil Thompson, ex pilot and forecaster, warns of fogging ice from steam emissions near Fort St John Airport and seeks commitments to minimize disruption and compensation for delays. CALPA involvement may follow. Local observers note possible fogging and traffic impacts, while the North Peace Clean Air Association has paused active advocacy.
