For my comment I will leave an excerpt from the Sydenham River Watershed website. This proposed site contains Molly's creek which feeds into the Sydenham.
"The Sydenham River supports an amazing diversity of aquatic life, it is home to at least 34 mussel species and 80 fish species. More than 20 fish and mussels in the Sydenham are Species at Risk (SAR). The watershed also supports many other semi-aquatic SAR including amphibians, turtles, snakes, and dragonflies. Some of these species are found nowhere else in Canada or remain in only a few locations globally. The Sydenham watershed is of global conservation concern for the persistence of these species."
A full environmental assessment needs to be done to ensure the Species at Risk aren't at GREATER risk by human interference via the landfill.
