Thanks for the question.
At this point, we are in the process of meeting with MPP Matthew Rae out of Perth—Wellington. We have another scheduled meeting with them to further outline our needs. Probably the biggest needs, from a provincial perspective, are related to infrastructure. We expect we're going to have to spend another $1.5 million to bring up-to-date hydro power into the plant. We would dearly love to eliminate the need to truck in propane, but rather pipe in natural gas. We will be using that. Those are a couple of things we will focus on at the provincial level.
When we talk about being net-zero, we want to reduce our transportation. A lot of our transporters have to leave and go elsewhere to wash their trucks. You're probably also aware of the African swine fever risk—ASF. We are tapping into CFIA funds to work at setting up the old plant to be used for welfare. Should we have an African swine fever outbreak—God help us all if we do—we will have a plant set up that can deal with some of the fallout of that. The truck wash piece would help in managing the risk of disease and moving things beyond our little plant there. That's a big piece.
The next piece, of course, is water treatment. We'd like to put a DAF system in there. We think that would be very beneficial, since a processing plant uses about 300 litres of water per hog per day. We go through a lot of water. If we can recycle and reuse that and not tax the aquifers underneath us, it would also be very beneficial and help our sustainability plan.
