Fish feed maker Skretting under scrutiny

Skretting (formerly Moore-Clark), a Nutreco company,
operates a facility that produces fish feed destined for the aquaculture
industry in Bayside, near St. Andrews. The current air quality operating
approval expires on July 15, 2007.

Clean air act
The 180-day public participation process
to renew the air quality operating approval for Skretting was announced by
Environment Minister Roland Haché.
The Public Participation Regulation under
the Clean Air Act calls for a public participation process to be conducted prior to the
issuance or renewal of approvals to operate for Class 1 sources of emissions.
This process contains a number of information requirements and minimum time
frames in relation to the public review, including a 120-day public comment
period scheduled for Dec. 19, 2006 to April 17, 2007.

Public participation
“We
strongly encourage the public to take part in this process,” Haché
said. “It’s an excellent opportunity for the public to learn more
about this facility and submit written comments in regard to the air
quality operating approval for the Skretting fish feed plant.”
