I grew up in Dresden and still have family living there including my 86 yr old mother. I don't live that far away either. I can't believe it would be suggested that a facility like this would be built without an environmental assessment.

There needs to be an environmental assessment done on this property! It is so close to our schools, parks, water ways and so much more! Come on! This is unfair to the whole town of Dresden!
I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed landfill at 29831 Irish School Road, near the town of Dresden. The justification being circulated—potential tariffs from the U.S. on waste—does not hold up.

Reasons I feel this proposal needs to be rejected:
1. Unanimous Municipal Opposition: Chatham-Kent Council has taken a strong, unanimous stand against the proposal.
2. Community Mobilization: The people of Dresden have been vocal, informed, and persistent since day 1.

I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed landfill and waste facility at 29831 Irish School Road near Dresden, Ontario. This proposal is dangerous, disrespectful, and deeply flawed for many reasons:

I do not agree with this at all. This is just a sneaky tactic to approve the York1 Waste Disposal Site.
Go through the process of the environmental assessment. At a minimum you owe that to the surrounding communities of this proposed Waste Disposal Site.

Hello
I would like to express my concern for the proposal to put a waste disposal outside of the town of Dresden. There are many reasons this project should not happen in this location:

I’m writing to object in the strongest way possible to the government’s reversal of a promise to the people of Dresden, Chatham-Kent, adjacent municipalities, and communities downstream along the Sydenham River, for a full environmental assessment prior to approval of the York1 proposal to vastly ex

I feel that an assessment is needed to protect all the endangered wild life in the area. This site is too close to school and the town of Dresden. Chatham Kent roads can not handle the traffic.
So if the Ford government is going to make a new law that can just override all of the existing laws such as environmental assessments and make it so easy to just start projects anywhere build a landfill anywhere then why can’t they build it in their own backyard Doug Ford clearly does not care abou

This site is unacceptable due to is proximity to the town core of Dresden. This is a town that relies upon tourism and being home to a landfill is certain to have an impact on the town’s economy.

This landfill will destroy our community. Cancelling the Full EA should not even be a consideration. We need to protect our species at risk because once they are gone, they are gone forever. We also need to protect our waterways. No leaching pond can be guaranteed to be totally leach proof.

If this dump is made, it will contaminate the water and the nearby crops in the field won’t be able to grow because if the bees drink the contaminated water, they will die and then there will be no more bees.
