Proposed Heritage Disposal Site: Review Committee Materials
The purpose of this web page is to provide information to a site review committee, and to the interested public, related to a proposal to locate a rotary kiln hazardous waste incinerator near Alda.
Background

The site is on the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant property west of Grand Island. Heritage intends to install the incinerator to dispose of Department of Defense smoke grenades and related materials.
