Despite assuring the Waimate community that they would not submit a resource consent application until they had addressed residents’ concerns, the company has done just that. The full scope of this company’s plans is now clear. They intend to stockpile vast amounts of waste, build the plant in a flood-prone area, and use a staggering 2.5 million litres of fresh water daily, 365 days a year. They also plan to landfill 100,000 tonnes of toxic ash and have 136 heavy truck and trailer units arriving each day to deposit waste on site.
