Summary
Alberta’s environment ministry is cracking down on waste storage after a Calgary landfill crisis, proposing size limits and mandatory annual reporting for sites like Ecco Recycling and Energy Corp. Concerns mount as authorities investigate whether banned materials were stored there, potentially triggering legal action. Despite city stop orders and a court ruling that Ecco violated bylaws — ordering removal of unauthorized waste — the company claims provincial permits shield them. Meanwhile, a smoldering fire at the site continues to spew smoke, prompting city demands for air quality data while the province insists public risk remains low, though sensitive individuals may experience temporary symptoms.
