Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
ERO number: 026-0414
Introduction

I am opposed to relaxing any requirements regarding landfill sites. If an environmental issue is created it can be massive amounts of money for remedial costs, years to resolve and damage water resources, possibly for many years.
