Comment
I strongly oppose the removal of the Environmental Assessment (EA) requirement for the proposed landfill in Dresden, Ontario.
This site is 500m from homes, 800m from a school, and sits above the Kettle Point aquifer — linked to the 2021 Wheatley explosion.
Internal reports show explosive methane gas is already present. York1 has no approved plan, no confirmed stability, and proposes asbestos and hazardous waste disposal near farmland and waterways.
This site was also a former police bomb and gun range.
I urge the Ministry to:
Reject the Bill 5 exemption
Reinstate the EA
Honour 2024 promises to the community
Don’t let Dresden become another Wheatley.
