Start the process to appeal
If you’re an Ontario resident, you can start the process to appeal this instrument decision.
First, you’ll need to seek leave (i.e. get permission) from the relevant appellate body to appeal the decision.
If the appellate body grants leave, the appeal itself will follow.
Seek leave to appeal
To seek leave to appeal, you need to do these three things:
- prepare your application
- provide notice to the minister
- mail your application to three parties
1. Prepare your application
You’ll need to prepare an application. You may wish to include the following things in your application:
- A document that includes:
- your name, phone number, fax number (if any), and/or email address
- the ERO number and ministry reference number (located on this page)
- a statement about whether you are a resident in Ontario
- your interest in the decision, and any facts you want taken into account in deciding whether you have an interest in the decision
- the parts of the instrument that you’re challenging
- whether the decision could result in significant harm to the environment
- the reason(s) why you believe that no reasonable person – having regard to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind – could have made the decision

- A copy of the instrument (approval, permit, order) that you you are seeking leave to appeal. You’ll find this in the decision notice on the Environmental Registry

What is considered
The appeal body will consider the following two questions in deciding whether to grant you leave to appeal:
- is there is good reason to believe that no reasonable person, with respect to the relevant law and to any government policies developed to guide decisions of that kind, could have made the decision?
- could the decision you wish to appeal result in significant harm to the environment?
2. Provide your notice
You’ll need to provide notice to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks that you’re seeking leave to appeal.
In your notice, please include a brief description of the:
- decision that you wish to appeal
- grounds for granting leave to appeal

Original proposal
Proposal details
The subject property at 29831 Irish School Road in Dresden, Ontario is a 35-hectare property. The subject property has been used as an approved landfill and waste processing/transfer site. The site is owned and operated by York1 Environmental Waste Solutions Ltd.
The subject property holds existing Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) No. A021304 for a 35-hectare waste disposal site with an 8-hectare landfilling area, and ECA No. A020401 for a 0.8-hectare waste processing site. The site currently services the Province of Ontario.
The application is for an amendment to the existing waste processing site ECA No. A020401 for a 0.8-hectare waste processing site to be used for the storage, transfer and processing of non-hazardous solid waste from industrial, commercial, institutional and municipal sectors. The proposed amendment to the waste processing facility is an increase in the area of the waste processing site to 25 hectares and to allow a maximum daily receiving rate of 6,000 tonnes per day of non-hazardous solid waste including construction and demolition waste and excess soil for beneficial reuse, and 1,000 tonnes per day of residual waste for final disposal on an annual average basis.
It is proposed the receiving rates at the waste processing facility include a maximum daily receiving rate cumulative of all materials received of 6,000 tonnes per day, broken down as follows:
- a maximum average residual waste limit of up to 1,000 tonnes per day of non-hazardous solid residual waste for final disposal at waste disposal landfills
- a maximum of up to 3,000 tonnes per day of non-hazardous solid waste materials including construction and demolition wastes that are processable into recycled materials, and
- a maximum of up to 3,000 tonnes per day of non-hazardous solid waste materials including soil and soil-like materials wastes that are processable into recycled materials.
It is proposed the maximum storage volumes at the waste processing facility be amended to:
- indoor storage of 1,800 tonnes of residual waste for transfer including source separated organics
- outdoor storage of 3,000 tonnes of recyclable materials such as wood, brick, block, concrete, asphalt, shingles, metals, and drywall, and
- outdoor storage of 30,000 tonnes of non-hazardous solid waste consisting of unprocessed and processed soil.
The proposed amendment is to allow operations at the waste processing site 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.
The proposed amendment to the waste processing facility also includes the following:
- construction of a new processing/sorting building capable of indoor storage of all incoming mixed solid non-hazardous waste with the associated leachate collection and storage system
- addition of the following waste classes for accepted and processed waste: sorted blue box materials, source-separated organics, asbestos-containing materials, tires, and soil, soil-like materials and excess soil for beneficial reuse
- installation of stationary equipment for processing construction and demolition waste into alternative low-carbon fuels (ALCF) in the new processing/sorting building
- placement of mobile diesel-powered shredding/grinding equipment for wood/construction & demolition waste outdoors
- installation of a soil treatment/soil washing system for processing solid and liquid soil to recover sand and aggregate material (optional)
- construction of a stormwater management infrastructure.
