Another proposal. REALLY. Will York1 stop at nothing to get what they want? The citizens of this area all know how wrong this is. This landfill is going to destroying our town along with all the people who live here and the surrounding areas. York1 meeting said no drainage into waterways.

Dresden does not want your garbage.
I live within 2km of this area and my main water source is through my well. I am concerned that my well water will be contaminated
My property value will plummet due to this dump.
I plea that you do NOT allow York1 to build a dump 1 km outside of the town of Dresden. This would be an environmental disaster! Molly’s Creek runs near that land, which drains into the Sydenham River which drains into Syne and Lake St. Clair.

I fear for my children’s safety with these aggressive proposals. The municipality is not equipped for the damage to our roads and infrastructure, nor do we have the means to process the waste water.

Dresden is famous for our Summer and Christmas Night Markets. These are a huge part of supporting the local businesses and tourism of our community. How will these continue to operate with the overwhelming truck traffic, pollution and smell of a landfill within 2 kms of our city centre?
This will greatly effect the real estate in the area. Dresden is a beautiful, growing community, with a multiple new subdivisions. This landfill butts up to multiple farm properties that will lose their real estate value as a direct result to York 1’s landfill.

1km from a beautiful rural town is a disgrace.
Growing town, largest tomato processing plant - so much to lose. 1km is way to close for such thing.

Has anyone considered the impact to our waterway system and how garbage, hazardous waste runs in the land to Mollys Creek, to Sydenham River, to Lake St. Clair which runs to Walpole Island? Has the Chief been notified?

I am a life time Dresden resident. We are not in need of any sort of dump at that location for any reason. we already have municipal services and sites that provide us with all of the services required for our waste in town.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Approval #A020401 this site that York1 is proposing to expand and operate again was only used for the storage, transfer and processing of non-hazardous solid waste from industrial, commercial and institutional and municipal sectors on 0.8 hectors, max.

I would like to express my concerns about this proposal. First of all, the site on Irish School road was a designated a landfill back in the 1970’s. At that time it was the town of Dresdens solution to disposing of the ash from the incinerator that was used for the towns trash.

Please do not put a landfill in Dresden Ontario. There is already one in Blenheim and more pollution in the Chatham Kent community is mot acceptable. We have nutrient land that should be used for farming not for a landfill. Thank you!
We attended the town meeting tonight.
Environment Ontario any other permits that would still be valid 40 plus years later, for a business that was dormant at least 3 decades???? YORK1 found a LOOPHOLE. Someone forgot to do the paperwork and we pay the price.

While I understand what york1 is trying to do and see the benefit of a recycling facility, the proposed location is absolutely inappropriate being so close to a town in the middle of prime agricultural land.

Why are small communities across the province having to take on the environmental issues from the waste of the GTA? Small rural communities surrounded by farmland to grow crops for communities don’t need to risk contamination because the GTA can’t solve waste issues.
The proposed landfill is too close to waterways and a school. It will cause noise pollution from the volume of trucks entering and exiting the facility. Roads will be destroyed by the volume of truck traffic. The landfill location is not acceptable.
