  Multinational Monitor, September 1980
INCO, producing approximately 20 percent of all the sulfur dioxide in Canada, is a case in point.
As a result, the provincial government slapped INCO with an Environmental Control Order in 1970 calling for a reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions from 5,200 tons per day to 750 tons per day by the end of 1978.
The Ontario government conceded in July, 1978, announcing that INCO would be allowed to emit sulphur dioxide at a rate of 3,600 tons per day until 1982.

 wordsongs: Inside the Basin
From its superstack that can be seen from the highway a solid half hour before arriving, to the ominous looking slag heaps that run alongside the outskirts of the city, there is no question as to why this Northern community exists and who innevitably pulls all the financial strings.
There are other bit players, but INCO is the area's predominant force-- its presence as bold as its constructivist-styled logo implies.
The bulk of INCO's mining, smelting and refining operations occur within the boundaries of the Sudbury basin: an oval shaped area roughly 30 x 60km wide, formed as the result of a meteorological impact 1.8 billion years ago.

 SuperStack, 3Com, Routers, Wired at Networking Catalog
The Inco Superstack in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, with a height of 380 m (1,247 ft), is the tallest chimney in Canada and the Western hemisphere, and the second tallest freestanding chimney in the world after the GRES-2 Power Station in Kazakhstan.
It was constructed by Inco Limited in 1972 at an estimated cost of 25 million dollars; from the date of its completion until the GRES-2 chimney was constructed in 1987, it was the world's tallest smokestack.
This led to a slow rise in acidity of lakes in the area, to the point where by the late 1980s up to 7,000 lakes were severely damaged due to acid rain.

Inco Ltd's superstack and these Day Transportation tractor trailers are just two examples of greenhouse gas emitters the newly-enacted Kyoto Protocol has its eyes on.
Inco Ltd. has already reduced GHG emissions at their Sudbury operations to at least six per cent below 1990 levels, according to spokesperson Cory McPhee.
McPhee shares the concern of the OMA and Tembec that their proactive response will go unrecognized if the base year is set after much of their green efforts took place, or the timelines are unrealistic.

In the 1950s and 60s, Sudbury was beset by extensive labour unrest, as Inco and Falconbridge employees not only fought their companies for the right to unionize, but also fought amongst themselves as to what union would represent them.
Also in 2006, both of the city's major mining companies, Inco and Falconbridge, were taken over by new owners: Inco was acquired by the Brazilian company CVRD, while Falconbridge was purchased by the Swiss company Xstrata.

 Sudbury - Northern Life - Workers hopeful about new boss Brazil’s CVRD
No one was dancing in their work boots in celebration, but there was a strong sense of optimism Tuesday under the shadows of the Copper Cliff superstack the morning after the nickel giant officially changed hands into foreign ownership.
Lalonde said no one should be surprised a powerful foreign company like CVRD would make such a remarkable offer for Inco when you consider nickel prices have averaged well over $10 a pound for several consecutive years.
“Inco is a publicly traded company that is owned by the shareholders and that means you’re always up for grabs if there’s a strong enough bid,” he said.

 Algonquin Eco Watch - Fall Update 2002
The following excerpt from a letter from INCO to the MOE explains the difficulties encountered when attempting to separate Superstack emissions from total INCO emissions from all sources.
INCO “best estimate” data are presented in the accompanying graph, along with the “CAPS”, or maximum allowable SO2 levels from all INCO sources, which continue to be legislated downward through time.
If this were done in conjunction with emission reduction, those areas such as the Algonquin Ecosystem would eventually be withdrawn from the ROI, while the status of those areas remaining within the ROI would remain unchanged.

Constructed in 1972 and holding the record of the world's largest freestanding chimney (1247 feet) for almost 15 years, the Inco Superstack in Sudbury was always a dominating figure of the landscape.
The stack, of course, got larger and larger in teasing glimpses as you headed in towards Sudbury on the highway that meandered around hills and rivers.

Once a rough mining town created by giants INCO and Falconbridge, now a centre for health care, education, tourism, and government, the Nickel City anchors the North.
The nickel and copper mining which began in the 1880's used open pit smelting, sending clouds of poisonous sulphur fumes into the air.What trees remained after lumbering soon died, and soil ran down the unprotected hills, leaving the bones of the earth flened and raw.
The completion of the Superstack in 1972 began the turnaround.
