I have been on a Waste Management Committee for 15 years. The landfill we monitor closed several years ago and will have a contaminating lifespan of 90 plus years.
A landfill needs a full environmental assessment and rigorous annual reporting.

I am against the proposed removal of the Environmental Assessment for the York 1 Waste Disposal Site that is right next to a creek that runs into rivers nearby.
The landfill is also too close to the town of Dresden and the increased traffic and noise would be detrimental to the area.

The data does not lie this is the worse place to put a dump the clay has been used up. It will collapse and contaminate all the water wells! Also the soil wasting will kill and poison all the fish in Molly's Creek, the Sydenham River and into the great lakes. The science proves it.

I am a resident of Wallaceburg, a neighbor of Dresden. I do not support this proposal without the completion of an environmental assessment. The loss of wetland will result in loss of wildlife. A landfill site will also negatively impact the run off into the Sydenham River.

Dresden is a beautiful community and if you remove the environment assessment requirements from the York1 Waste Disposal Site Project your going ruin that beauty and destroy a community. Dreden will become unlivable.
This proposal should be rejected. The residents of this area. Including myself are strongly opposed to this dump expansion. Now the government is allowing it to happen with no environmental assessment?
In my opinion, anything of this nature should automatically require an environmental assessment. I think it is criminal how Doug Ford has used his political clout to bypass this system. It was put in place to protect the environment.

The EA needs to happen for this landfill We cannot move backwards for the sake of change
This site was never intended to house as much waste, nor is the surrounding neighbourhood equipped to deal with the new volume of trucks expected daily

This bill does nothing to protect Ontario as its name implies! To build a dump/landfill less than 1 kilometre from our beautiful town is not protecting Dresden!
Please please consider repeating bill 5. This bill, if passed would allow a dump to be built.a mere 800 meters from the town of dresden. This would most certainly affect the wildlife, endangered species and so much more in Molly's creek, the Sydenham river and so many more areas.

It is concerning as a resident of Chatham-Kent that the provincial government would attempt to circumvent its own legislation and requirements for an environmental assessment for a property so close to a community, waterways and farmland.

I am sending this comment in regards to the proposed landfill beside Molly’s creek in Dresden ON. This area has three ponds that supports much wildlife and endangered species.

We are opposed to the York1 dump proposal at Dresden, Ontario and to the changes by the Ford government to allow and facilitate this dump to operate in the location as indicated in the York1 application.

Environmental Assessment Requirements were put in place to safeguard our environment, and modifying any of these requirements erodes the standards, values, and guidelines that have been put in place and opens the gates for abuse and deregulation.

I would like to voice my disappointment and displeasure to the Ontario government to attempt to allow a bypass of the Environmental Assessment for the York1 dump proposed for Dresden Ontario. Bill 5 will do just that. Locating a dump less than 1 mile from the town of Dresden is unbelievable.
