Waste Management Canada and the city of Carp, Ontario, agreed to appeal a proposal to allow construction and demolition debris from Quebec to be dumped at the city’s processing facility, a report by CBC News says.
According to the report, Waste Management Canada won approval from Ontario’s Environmental Review Tribunal on March 1 to transfer C&D Debris from western Quebec to the West Carleton Environmental Center. The city announced it has appealed the decision, and Waste Management said the company is backing away from the plan after speaking with city officials.
Members of the public voiced concerns over increased truck traffic and increased dumping from other regions during public comments on the plan, the report says.
Shad Qardi, the city councilor for Sittsville, where the facility is located, told CBC News that he fears the site will currently double in size in the future and he doesn’t want the site to accept more waste from other areas.
Waste Management spokesperson Wayne French said in a letter to city councilors and community stakeholders that the company will amend its Environmental Compliance Approval accordingly, according to the report.
