Demolition of PPG Ontario Plant Continues

Demolition of PPG Industries' Ontario float glass plant began recently, and continues with the removal of limestone and silica-based material from the plant's silos, according to an Oct. 9 Owen Sound Sun Times article. The waste will be removed and properly hauled away to a licensed waste disposal site, according to the article.
