The site plan is one of the municipal approvals Waste Management will needs to complete before they’re allowed to expand the landfill facility on Carp Road, just north of the Queensway. A separate Host Agreement would address things like odour management, property values, service area limits, and diversion of waste. The also need to receive an Environmental Compliance Approval from the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
Part of the site plan approval process includes an opportunity for residents to submit comments and concerns about the proposal, although the plan has yet to be posted to the City’s web site. The City’s development committee also needs to approve the plan before it goes to City Council for final approval.
