USIB’s NR Department sent a team to the Net Zero Waste Facility near Eastgate in December. Charlie Allison, Sandra Allan-Wagnitz, Amy Brewer, Levi Bell, Carley Brewer, Robin Irwin visited the site and found a terrible situation with many thousands of pigs who perished in the Abbotsford floods. USIB alerted the Ministry of Environment who sent an inspection team at the end of December and found a considerable list of regulatory compliance issues.

Yesterday the Town of Princeton addressed USIB concerns in their Council meeting where the story was picked up by local media.

Please see the attached article which outlines the situation. USIB NR department will be involved and updated on all reports, fines and orders resulting from this discovery and will be working with the Province to hold this operator accountable.
