Waste Disposal Assessment Areas
The approximate location of active and closed waste disposal sites, together with a Waste Disposal Assessment Area, has been identified on Schedule 'C' of the City's Official Plan.
Prior to any development or redevelopment of lands within these areas, a property owner must retain the services of a qualified person to complete a study in accordance with the MOECP D4 Guideline to identify any potential risks that are to be mitigated (e.g. landfill gas, groundwater contamination, waste products, etc.) to ensure the waste contamination does not endanger the health and safety of the residents.
The City retained Golder Associates Ltd. to study each of the closed waste disposal sites to determine the appropriate assessment areas shown on Schedule 'C' of the City's Official Plan. Property owners undertaking a D4 Assessment may be able to draw from information contained in Golder Associates Ltd. studies to assist them with preparing their D4 Study.
Inactive Waste Disposal Sites:
The City retained Golder Associates Ltd. to study each of the closed waste disposal sites to determine
the appropriate assessment areas shown on Schedule 'C' of the City's Official Plan. Property owners undertaking a D4 Assessment may be able to draw from information contained in Golder Associates Ltd. studies to assist them with preparing their D4 Study. Note that these reports were subject to comment by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MOECP) which resulted in subsequent changes to the determination of the areas affected by the Waste Disposal Assessment Area. The final mapping as approved by City Council and MOECP is available here.
