Effets de la consultation
In response to ERO posting, there was no comment received.
In response to Neighbor Notification, there was one response received (Robert Herault, 601 Witt Road, Laurentian Valley 613- 732-7022) at wasteproposalcomments@ontario.ca, a summary of which and our response is provided below:
Comment: They applied for a permit to store hazardous waste, asbestos, etc. on their site.
Response: the company intends to temporary store asbestos waste in hauling truck for two days without any processing and without unloading before transferring to a licensed disposal site.
Comment: The respondent lives a couple hundred meters away from my home. What assurances do I have from the Ministry of Environment that there will be no contamination to my property and water?
Response: The company will be accepting metals, construction and demolition waste, tire waste, wood waste. A surface water monitoring program is included in the approval for monitoring surface water impact. With the proposed site operations and local geologic conditions, we do not expect potential groundwater quality impact.
Comment: Property value decrease because of these operations.
Response: This is beyond scope of the engineering evaluation.
Comment: Quality of life has been drastically diminished by the operations on that property and the proponent demands a response from the Ministry of Environment stating that the company will be responsible for any further contamination of my property and also not impact my safety and health and quality of life. Can you fully assure me that there will be no leakage or spills? How is this monitored? Who does inspections? How often?
Response: The approval includes conditions to safeguard the environment as well as reporting mechanism to report any spills, emergency, regular site inspection and annual monitoring to the ministry to ensure the site operations are not causing impact to the environment and human health.
Comment: Is there anyone who will work with me to rezone my two acre lot back to a sellable building lot without costing a ridiculous amount of money? The process explained to me by the township is a hardship that I cannot afford and is unnecessary. I want some direct help from someone in this office.
Response: This is deemed irrelevant to the approval process.
