Molly’s creek is an environmentally significant area with many endangered creatures making it home. The dust and debris from the recycle material will make its way into the creek due to wind and other weather days like rain.

To allow York1 to put a recycling centre / dump 1 km outside of Dresden would be an environmental disaster. Molly’s Creek runs through the property, with drains into the Sydenham river then Lake St. Clair. New laws from the Ministry of Environment state that 3.5 km is the required distance.

This proposal is too close to a town, less than 1km to a town of 2700 people. This will affect every aspect of the town. Traffic, sound pollution, ground pollution, air pollution. Please keep these industries as far away from people as possible!
These people who are opposed to the expansion put their garbage out every week for pick up. Where do they think it goes? Does it just magically dissappear. There is a cost for the amount of garbage this society produces. It's called landfills!
To be frank, this facility should not be allowed to even be considered to be this close to the people of Dresden and if an Environmental Assessment will prove this...Bring it on.

I am unsure why a full environmental assessment was not required at the beginning of this process. It is finally encouraging that the Ontario government/ministry is trying to do the right thing and require an assessment.

There are significant concerns and issues surrounding the proposed expansion of the YORK1 Regenerative Recycling Facility in the Town of Dresden, Ontario.

This project will be harmful to species at risk, groundwater with live wells, surface water, increased truck traffic , noise and pollution, odours, ect.
Please stop this project as it will be a very negative impact on the Dresden Community and sorounding areas.
The proposed designation under the Environmental Assessment Act of the landfill site and waste transfer and processing expansion, located in the town of Dresden within the Municipality of Chatham Kent must have a full environmental assessment.

New landfill capacity is a critical infrastructure need in Ontario. We are running out of capacity in our current facilities, and shipping far too much waste to the US.

This will have a negative impact on the river, water ways, farmland and the town as a whole. The trucks would need to go down the main street which includes shops, houses, schools, parks, arena, apartments, kids playing, people shopping.

I write you to share our towns and our Mayor's and our city councilors displeasure at the thought of the
potential Economic, Healthcare & Housing impacts, this proposed Landfill / Transfer station would have on Dresden and the wider ranging outlying communities

The Town of Dresden should not have a dump/recycling/landfill center as the Chatham-Kent Municipality already hosts a landfill near Blenheim.

I totally oppose the plan by York1 to introduce and build a landfill. The ecological damage to the local watershed and the area in general cannot be allowed to advance.
The noise alone of hundreds of transport trucks every day, 365 days of the year, 24 hours per day must be prevented.

Let's not waste anyone's time or money. This project should not happen. Please view an aerial map and locate the homes of Dresden residents mere metres from the proposed landfill expansion on both the west and south boundaries.

We don’t want a landfill beside our town. The environmental risks to everyone should be enough to stop it and the fact we live right beside it !
We are in total agreement we need an EA but not just to slow this down for years of debates. We want it to stop now.
