We live in and around the small community of Dresden! We are not stupid and gullible people! We know a cover-up and sneaky behaviour, when we see it! If this landfill passes, we will see problems that will not be reversible! 700 trucks per day, road damage, no emergency services!

Landfills are a necessary part our modern world! Nobody disputes that! This landfill proposal in Dresden is for construction waste, soil washing and recycling of construction materials!

We are opposed to York 1 coming to Dresden, our roads cannot take 700 trucks with garbage in them, this is an agricultural area and the asbestos exposure will get into our good and water table.

Simple! How is this going to operate safely and efficiently when our roads can’t handle the truck traffic? Children wait for school buses on the side of the road, we have no emergency services, to handle a crisis,!

I was sorry to see that the environmental assessment for the Dresden dump was just bypassed. It is important, considering that it is so close to the town and to waterways to have it.

We were promised an environmental assessment last year and the government should not go back on its word. We need to make sure this project is safe for the surrounding community and environment.

I oppose this request with urgency!
By removing the full Environment Assessment from this site, the floodgates will be open to destroy a beautiful town. The close proximity of this proposed landfill to town is extremely dangerous to our residents as well as our environment.

Dresden people have spoken for everyone to hear. We don’t want this landfill 800 meters from our homes. We don’t want the threat of explosions from methane gas. We don’t want our waterways polluted ,our farmland, safety, and health of our children taken away by greed and lies.

I grew up along the Sydenham River. I watched teams of people over the years research the endangered species the Sydenham River contains. Watched wild life thrive and live within the waters and along the bank. Mollys Creek flows into the Sydenham River.

I oppose the proposed Removing Environmental Assessment Requirements for the York1 Waste Disposal Site Project. You cannot pick and choose when an environmental assessment is required, they are in place to hold governments accountable and ensure all projects undergo the same process.

It is sad that our town has to worry about a landfill being placed 800 meters from our homes . It threatens everyone’s health and safety which is blatantly obvious.

There are lots of places along the 401 to put a dump. There is no reason to negatively affect the entire community of Dresden by placing a dump basically in the town.
