Concern over proposed Langley composting facility

A proposed Metro Vancouver composting facility in Langley has some township councilors sounding alarm bells.

Charlie Fox says the area proposed is environmentally sensitive, and they’re worried the facility may not stop at yard waste and clean wood chips.

 “My concerns are that there’s really at this particular point there’s been no public input into any aspect of this operation, the service provider, or anything to do with it.”

Residents have until mid January to voice their concerns to Metro Vancouver.

Councilors say the proposed site is next to a park, the aquifer providing water to residents as well as fish-bearing streams.
