Middle Stewiacke residents were outraged
when they learned less than two months ago about the asbestos disposal
plan. Dozens of them submitted their comments online as part of the
environmental assessment review process.

“It makes no sense to me
that you would put an asbestos waste disposal cell in Middle Stewiacke
as the health hazards for exposure to asbestos for humans is well
documented,” wrote one resident.

All names have been removed from the online comments.

Another
person wrote: “There is already an existing dump that is designed for
handling hazardous waste located in Colchester County at Kemptown … Why
do we need another one?”
