An Environmental Assessment…

An Environmental Assessment is needed at 29831 Irish School Road, Dresden, ON. Do not get rid of Ontario Regulation 284/24 within Bill 5.

All dump sites should not be painted with the same brush. Each one needs to be assessed individually with how it impacts the environment, small town community life, and the infrastructure.

Being a close resident of 29831 Irish School Road, I am concerned about the air quality, noise, light, water run off, safety on the highway with increased traffic, smell/odour, the resale value of my current property, and water wells.

The land surrounding the currently small zoned facility, that York1 is purchasing, is too good of quality of land to be used for a landfill. It is some of the best quality land for agricultural production to feed people for generations to come. It will be wasted as a landfill. There is plenty of land around in other areas that is not productive, is not close to water and is easily accessible. This property is not needed.

Please continue to require a full and comprehensive Environmental Assessment for any use of 29831 Irish School Road, Dresden, ON.
