Arguments against Buckland saw mill not credible: Reeve
There’s continued concern from some of the neighbours about a saw mill enterprise setting up soon on Pulp Haul Road in the RM of Buckland.
The RM recently voted 5-1 to approve Lorne Renouf’s modest operation which involves a modern low-noise portable saw mill that will be housed in a new building. But the lone dissenter at the political table, along with some others, figured the local government got it wrong.
“We have concerns about noise and dust but also why the land is not being used for farming,” Division 1 councillor Arthur Brandolino, who runs a grain farm near the planned mill, told paNOW. “We need land for food, so why do they put something like that in there when we could farm it?”
Brandolino added other neighbours who live even closer to the planned site than he does, still have reservations about the mill’s noise output, dust and chips, and the noise from logging trucks. He said people deserve their peace and quiet.
