RE:RE:Link Shut Down!!I smell a class action coming on. What garbage management.
AUC enforcement investigators wrote that Link Global initially claimed it had an "extensive history" of consultation with the AUC, Sturgeon County and neighbouring residents — but that the company provided no evidence to back that up. A month later, in June, the company finally acknowledged it didn't notify or consult local stakeholders, as it said it was "unaware of the statutory and regulatory requirements."
Link Global had told the AUC in a January letter that it had done a noise impact assessment that found no change between the plant being turned on and off.
But it didn't provide a copy of that noise assessment — instead, it just gave a link to a non-functioning online folder followed by the note "(SORRY LINK IS NOT WORKING)." It also provided a sheet stating the company meets U.S. emission standards but initially provided no evidence as to whether it met Alberta standards.
