Citizens who want the closure of the Richmond Landfill, north of Napanee, have some more ammunition.
Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner, Gord Miller, recommends the Environment Ministry order the facility shut down immediately.
His annual report, released yesterday, says the commission believes there are compelling environmental reasons for the M-O-E to require the closure, and no compelling social or economic reasons to keep it open.
The Concerned Citizens of Tyendinaga, worried that Waste Management will try to expand the site, recently launched another effort to have the dump shut down.
