For the past 12 years, a Calgary-based company has been planning to pump water from the river to an underground site 12 kilometres away, where it will be used to flush out salt deposits, creating huge caverns that will eventually store natural gas.
AltaGas says the leftover brine solution will be pumped into the river, twice a day at high tide, over a two- to three-year period. #nspoli #StopAltonGas
