Enviro hearing set for dispute over state of north Edmonton Domtar site

The Environmental Appeals Board has set aside two weeks in July and August to hear arguments in a dispute over former industrial lands in northeast Edmonton.
Cherokee Canada Inc. and Domtar Corporation are fighting enforcement orders from Alberta Environment to conduct extensive soil sampling and clean up any contamination on property north of Yellowhead Trail near 44 Street.
The site in question served as a Domtar wood-treatment operation from 1924 to 1987. Cherokee bought the property in 2010
