The Beaver Hill Disposal Site has survived as an incinerator facility despite varying styles of management, budget constraints and even the apparent effort by Waste Connections to starve it of badly needed revenue because the operations staff are dedicated to making it work. They fabricate new pieces, weld joints, repair parts and climb over, around and through the plant the plant like monkey’s in a tree. Some of them recognizing that a mountain is being built from a molehill with regard to the current duct work have taken the initiative and analyzed the necessary repair work and are putting together a plan to replace the affected ducts while still operating two of the burners. They will present this plan in a few days and we can hope that the commissioners give it them the courtesy they deserve and the plan the attention it deserves before wasting taxpayer money.

Meanwhile, here are some photos of the ducts in question, the replacement ducts and a comparison to the working ducts.
