Hope in Newfoundland Town as Government Seeks Removal of Rotting, Stinking Fish Sauce
The province says the first phase will remove 110 tanks of long-fermented fish sauce before a second tender targets demolition.
- On Monday, the Newfoundland and Labrador government issued a tender to remove 110 vats of rotting fish sauce from an abandoned factory in St. Mary's, bringing hope to the town of about 300 people.
- Opened in 1990, The Atlantic Seafood Sauce Company factory was abandoned a decade later following legal battles, leaving residents to struggle for over 20 years with a site Ryan called "unbearable. That's the best way to explain it."
- The first phase involves solidifying the 1-2 feet of liquid waste on the factory floor, a process Mayor Ryan expects will take four to six weeks.
- With the application process ending May 28, officials hope work begins by mid-June, while a separate tender for the building's demolition will follow once the initial cleanup phase is underway.
- Andrew Furey's Liberal government has prioritized the cleanup over the past five years, a shift residents welcome after decades of frustration, with Mayor Ryan noting the town accepts temporary odors for a permanent fix.
