Description

This is to advise that a proposed Dangerous and Waste Dangerous Goods Facility relocation from 105-D Akerley Blvd. to 15 Williams Ave. (Burnside Industrial Park), will be registered for environmental assessment on January 28, 2010, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.

Refrigerant Services Inc. provides refrigerant collection, reclamation, and disposal of surplus refrigerant and maintains a large inventory of refrigerant recovery cylinders. Additionally, Refrigerant Services Inc. is a Transport Canada Approved cylinder inspection and recertification facility providing visual and hydrostatic testing for cylinders. The company wishes to move locations in Burnside because the proposed location is larger and the floor plan and shipping and receiving doorway arrangements are more suitable for the current operations of the company.
