In this letter, we state our concerns related to the reissuing of the Government of Alberta Approval for the Swan Hills Treatment Centre (SHTC) operated by SENA Waste Services Inc, which approval expires on November 15, 2015. First operational in 1987, SHTC treats hazardous waste in many ways, including hazardous waste incinerators and deep well injection. SHTC has released hazardous material into the environment both as 'allowable emissions' and un-planned releases.
