WOOLWICH BIO-EN TO STARTUP IN JANUARY

Yesterday's Elmira Independent (not on-line yet) has the following story "Biogas plant to begin operation in January". Essentially Gail Martin's story chronicles the hurdles that the Bio-Gas plant has faced to date as well as upcoming operational challenges. Frey Contractors are doing the construction and this is the third biogas plant that they have built.

There are extensive odour control systems in place although for the neighbours obviously the proof will be in the pudding when it's up and running. The community liason committee has met several times and I've been able to attend two of those meetings as a member of the public. I missed the meeting in July as it was shortly after I'd had my hip replaced and wasn't mobile yet.

There will be a public meeting on Tuesday September 10/13 in the Dodie Hummel Room (next to council chambers) at 7 pm.. This is an opportunity for all to get more first hand information on this soon to be in Elmira biogas plant.
