I always love looking at the development concept. I have to giggle that they show their development right to Stirling. Um, guys? My house is missing on your render. If you could please put it back, seeing as it isn't part of the Schneider lands, you don't own it, and it still exists, I'd sure appreciate it.
I have some friends who worked at Schneiders/Maple Leaf. One of the biggest issues they have with keeping any of the buildings is the sheer amount of chemicals that were used in the "chop shop" (old hog barns, then the slaughter houses) as they called it, the most prevalent being ammonia. It is what is going to be quite expensive to remedy as well. There were several ammonia leaks over the years and yes, there have been spills and the natural by-products from slaughterhouse-wastewater. Pollution abatement was not always a "thing" throughout the years at the plant.
Off the top of my head, CIP cleaners, alkaline and chlorine products, strong acids, did I mention ammonia, ammonia, ammonia?
