Environmental Factors • • • • Impact varies By industry By technology By region, depending on policy Dryden, Ontario Environmental Impact • 1970s - Hg in water 900 kms downstream on EnglishWabigoon River system • Grassy Narrows IR • Blindness, nervous disorders, birth defects, Minimata disease • Dryden Chemicals→ • Weyerhauser Environment and Industrial Location • Environmental Impact Assessment • Due diligence or • costly bureaucratic hurdle that discourages progress? • Brownfield site expansion • Greenfield development Beef Evaluation Advisory Committee • Wastewater – • • • • On-site pre-treatment Continuous sampling City needs organics in sewage! If 1 of 5 major waste water producers goes off line, problems • Cogeneration: more solids, more electricity
