Another step today on new dump ?

The Environment Ministry is expected to make a decision today about the terms of reference in advance of an environmental assessment for a new landfill north of Napanee.

The Ministry will either accept, reject or ask for more information about the terms from Waste Management Limited. The company wants to open a new, larger dump near the former Richmond landfill, to accept 400-thousand metric tons of waste a year.

M-O-E spokesperson Kate Jordan says input from public interest groups, ministry scientists, and all government agencies have been included in making the decision.
