Waste Storage (Pipeline Project Permits)

Large campsites can generate a large amount of waste and depending on the activities in the camp, may need storage for special waste. Waste storage facilities must be secure for the purposes of public safety, wildlife and from an environmental perspective. For the most part these sites will be located near the construction camps with some separation.
