Sludge Watch ==> Citizens Against Burning of Tires

[Maureen Reilly]

Sludgewatch Admin:

Burning tires, Mad Cow risk wastes (animal meal, bone meal) , trash, 
hazardous waste in cement kilns is a bad idea.

1. Cement kilns do not have air pollution emission controls.
2. Cement quality can be ruined by the contaminants in the wastes added to 
the kiln
3. The cement kiln dust is often contaminated by the addition of these 
wastes and then the contaminated kiln dust is offered to farmers, either for 
direct farm application, or mixed with sewage sludge - like the N-Viro plant 
of Halifax Nova Scotia...near this Brookfield Lafarge Cement kiln.

Brookfield Lafarge wants it both ways.  They are eager for the tipping fee 
to act as a waste incinerator for tires...and they don't care if they 
compromise the air quality, the cement quality, and Halifax's new sewage 
sludge/cement dust N-Viro 'fertilizer' to do it.

Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that even though the Lafarge Brookfield Nova 
Scotia cement kiln dust is already contaminated with thallium and other 
heavy metals from the burning of used oil ... they have been putting their 
contaminated cement kiln dust directly in Nova Scotia salmon rivers and 
claiming they are protecting the rivers from acid rain.
