RE:RE:Who is everybody kidding
I believe it is in reference to value of the Vulcan operation when completed. See the news article below in reference to it. Also note it will take 2 months for permit and alot of conditions to work thru to get there. The one eleven operation will be quicker as construction is underway, and we get half. Anyway you look at the big money is a year away, imo!! Vulcan Countys planning commission has approved Camarico Land and Development Corporations development permit application for a $65-million cannabis cultivation operation in the Mossleigh area. The application had originally been discussed at the Aug. 1 Municipal Planning Commission meeting, but planning commission members delayed making a decision at that time to ask Camarico to provide more information on water feasibility, expected timelines for undertaking an Alberta Environment application, number of trips per day if water were to be hauled to the site, and decimal levels from generators and fans. Camaricos Georgetown Development is to be located on a portion of the northeast quarter of 8-21-25, and is adjacent to Township Road 212 and Highway 24. The facility would be accessed from Township Road 212. The companys application is the first phase of its project, which includes 19 individual lots where cannabis cultivation facilities will be constructed. Each of the 19 sites would contain a building of 58,000 square feet. A total of 22 conditions were attached to the approval. Among them, the applicant must provide the following before construction can begin: proof of all federal approvals, including security measures, odour, storage and cannabis licensing requirements; evidence of an adequate commercial water supply and a sanitary sewage system; detailed building, parking and landscaping plans; a fire mitigation and emergency response plan; and a copy of the stormwater management plan. The development must include equipment to remove odours and particulates from the air, all outdoor buildings and site lighting shall be suitably shielded and shall be downward cast, and the security gateway must be setback sufficiently from Township Road 212, to the satisfaction of the director of operations. The haul route is restricted to paved roads. Camarico must also enter into a development agreement, which is to include a road approach, road improvements and a security/bond. Randle Mackenzie Loree, Camaricos president, told the MPC during the Aug. 15 meeting that company representatives feel confident that the water needed will be found. Well be able to extract that water without affecting our neighbours, which is ultimately a priority for ourselves, said Loree. Being that this is a long-term development, and we plan on being a long-term member of this community, we absolutely dont want to offend or impact our neighbours in order to earn a living. But if the company has to haul water in, the company has sourced a supply within eight kilometres of the site, said Loree. And we have an option to purchase up to 950,000 litres cubed of water per year, he said. With that water in mind, our heavy traffic will be up to 20 units per day, minimum maximum 29 units per day. Asked by the Countys Anne Erickson, manager of development services, about the noise expected to be generated from the facility, Loree replied that it was a little bit more difficult to summarize than we originally anticipated. This is mainly due to many of the natural and unnatural uses of sound breaks, which can really vary the decibel ratings of the noise output from the site, he said. Were going to have to, to move forward with licensing, is do an actual impact assessment, which could take up to two months, in order to receive that permitting and that licensing from the Alberta Utility Commission (AUC), said Loree. He added hes not a professional in the noise generation industry and is going to have to rely on a professional engineering study when submitting to the AUC
