    This application should not be approved. As a resident of Kurri Kurri and a retired Industrial Instrument Technician with wide process control experience I am well aware Weston Aluminium is too close to residential areas and has in the past polluted those areas. Their application to burn in furnaces, designed to reduce dross, drugs and pharmaceuticals is in my opinion incorrect and could be dangerous to residents. However it must be done somewhere and Weston Aluminium have indicated the sharing of pollution recordings with residents and locals which is an appreciated move. Weston Aluminium state they are proposing this function because of a downturn in their core dross treatment business and the question must be asked what next, the disposal of hospital waste and body parts? As I stated in the beginning this plant is too close to residential areas and would be much better sited at the now redundant smelter site where their equipment and plant could be used to treat the hundred of thousands of contaminated and poisonous smelter wastes including Spent Pot Lining on that site.
