Update #2: Waste Management has set up an additional Workshop in Stittsville for residents to participate in the consultation process as part of the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the new West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC ) proposal: Thursday, May 13th, 2010 St. Stephen Catholic School (Jackson Trails subdivision) 1145 Stittsville Main St. 6:00p.m. to 9:30 p.m. WM have initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) seeking approval for a new landfill footprint at the existing Ottawa Waste Management Facility. The new landfill footprint will be one component of the proposed WCEC. The proposed WCEC will be an integrated waste management facility that will include: · Waste diversion and recycling operations; · Composting Operations; · Renewable energy facilities; · Recreational lands for community uses; and, · A new landfill footprint for disposal of residual waste materials. The WCEC Workshops have been designed to provide an additional avenue for consultation with local residents, businesses, agencies and interested stakeholders. The WCEC Workshop will be interactive and will facilitate discussion on the need/rationale for additional waste disposal capacity, the proposed alternatives to the undertaking, the alternative methods or footprint options, and the criteria and indicators to be used in evaluating the alternative methods. Your input at this workshop will be reviewed and incorporated by WM and the Project Team when preparing the TOR prior to submission to the Minister of Environment.

Proposed Carp Road Landfill Expansion
I would like to inform my ward residents that Waste Management Inc. of Canada has announced their intention to apply to the Ministry of the Environment for an expansion of their Carp Road Landfill facility. At this time, few details are known about the proposed expansion. However, Waste Management has said they are seeking to expand their landfill to create a facility able to accept 400,000 tonnes of waste per year for 10 years. Waste Management has also announced they are committed to a public consultation phase. The approval of any proposed Carp Road Landfill expansion is controlled by the Ministry of the Environment. The City and the public will have an opportunity to review and provide comment on any proposed expansion plans. The MOE controls the Environmental Assessment process, including the time available for public review and submission of comments. We expect Waste Management plans will attract public attention and generate questions to Council offices. For your reference, SEE ATTACHED for extensive question and answers.
