Regulator will not review decision on Pigeon Lake feedlot proposal

An Alberta regulator says it won’t review its decision to reject a proposed cattle feedlot near a popular recreational lake.

The Natural Resources Conservation Board says all issues surrounding the proposed 4,000-head feedlot near Pigeon Lake were dealt with adequately in the initial decision.

It says the issues raised by proponent Greg Thalen are of little merit.

Although Thalen can appeal to the courts, grounds for appeal are restricted to errors in law and may not address arguments for or against the feedlot.
