Controversial Ontario Landfill to Proceed Without Federal Assessment
The federal government has rejected an impact assessment for a proposed landfill in Dresden, a small southwestern Ontario community.
The project, deemed a "town killer" by opponents, is one of the first three high-profile developments exempted from Ontario's provincial environmental assessment under Premier Doug Ford's Bill 5.
- Threats to water sources
- Farmland
- Air quality
- Public health
- Endangered species
The project could threaten water sources, farmland, air quality, public health and endangered species.
Residents, advocacy groups, and Dresden's council have been fighting the proposed project for months.
