New Edmonton incinerator: Busting six myths

Having spent many an hour on waste data I found the NLWA script read back by one councillor making mention to “robust forecasting” and that the plans will meet the mayors recycling targets for C&I and Municipal waste streams rather at odds with hard reality. Last November’s public hearing on the NLWP and a submission to the current consultation on that same plan both highlight rather different (evidenced) conclusions.
Proceedings start about 13 minutes in and run through until 42 minutes. The deputation covers the first 5 minutes. The reception from Camden councillors is warm and ultimately they want to look at NLWA in greater depth within a year given the major issues revealed. About time that public body was subject to scrutiny some people firmly believe.

Switching to the present, an input on this theme to the current NLWP consultation will be along the following lines:
The assumed 2020 LACW start point in Table 3.1 at 987,041t is a full 168,756t (21%) above the latest actual figure (being for the previous year). We do not believe that is a remotely credible position to hold.
Robust? I wouldn’t suggest putting any money or credibility on it.
