Without a doubt this is a safety issue for Dresden amongst so many more problems York 1 will cause.
The water contamination that the leachate and runoff will cause can never be guaranteed to be safe for Mollys Creek, to the Sydenham River on to Lake St. Clair, by Tupperville, Wallaceburg, Walpole Island and Walpoles first nation.
Mollys Creek is the home for up to 33 species at risk, including the salamander mussels, Eastern spiny soft shell turtle, fawnsfoot mussel, Eastern foxsnake, blandings turtle, and the pugnose minnow. Not to mention the beauty of the land where deer and wildlife live that we are able to enjoy and study.
Dresden wants a full environmental assessment done. This will assure what we already know— that this is not the place for a huge landfill less than 1 km from our town!
