 The Proposed Project

The scope of the work for the Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation Solid Waste Transfer Station Project includes the pre-design, design, and construction of a solid waste transfer station on NW-03-22-14-W2 located on Standing Buffalo IR 78.  The Project will also include the purchase of a compactor collection truck, household waste bins, and recycling bins for community users.

- Upgrades to site access road
- New electrical service from SaskPower
- New local waste collection truck and household collection bins

Solid waste generated during construction will be disposed of at an approved landfill.
Liquid, gaseous and hazardous waste are not expected to be generated during construction. Once commissioned, the facility itself will accept solid waste generated in the community.
