Written by Jeremy Zafran on 18 August 2022
In an effort to deal with issue of Asbestos containing material in Kahnawake, the Mohawk Council is launching a pilot project that will streamline the operation. First reported in Iori:wase, the project will get underway on a property off Route 207 late next week. Cody Diabo, an elected official at the MCK, has been working on the asbestos file says it will also lower the costs and won’t take more than a couple of days per plot of land:
“There’s nothing wrong with the soil, it’s just like the ACM pieces, total removal of soil in the beginning was the easiest route to take just because we weren’t sure, but projections and working with the experts, we’ve seen it would be a waste of resources not only financial but as well, the soil itself.”
Diabo explaining that the project would involve combing the ground with special equipment.
