Waste Management of Canada Corporation
Environmental Assessment for a New Landfill Footprint
at the West Carleton Environmental Centre
OPEN HOUSE #3 and WORKSHOP #3
Waste Management of Canada Corporation (WM) is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) seeking approval for a
new landfill footprint at the existing Ottawa Waste Management Facility (Ottawa WMF). The new landfill footprint will be one
component of the proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC).
The proposed WCEC will be an integrated waste
management facility that will include:





A new landfill footprint;
Waste diversion and recycling operations;
Composting operations;
Renewable energy facilities; and,
Recreational lands for community uses.
The new landfill footprint is the only component of
the WCEC that requires EA approval under the
Environmental Assessment Act (EAA).
The
proposed location of the WCEC and the new
landfill footprint component is within the City of
Ottawa in the area shown on the map below. The
purpose of the EA is to study the potential
environmental effects (positive or negative) of the
proposed new landfill footprint. Key components of
an EA include consultation with government
agencies and the public; consideration and
evaluation of alternatives; and the management of
potential environmental effects. Conducting an EA
promotes good environmental planning before
decisions are made about a proposal.
Earlier in 2011, WM held a series of Open Houses and Workshops with the public to review the preliminary Existing Conditions
and Comparative Evaluation Methodology and Criteria that would be used to assess and compare the Alternative Landfill
Footprints that are being considered as part of the EA.
Open House #3
The purpose of Open House #3 is to provide the public with an opportunity to review the final Existing Conditions, assessment
and comparative evaluation of the Alternative Landfill Footprints, and identification of a Preferred Landfill Footprint. In addition,
WM will provide information about the ongoing EA process and related consultation activities.
WM has scheduled Open House #3 events the week of November 8th–10th, 2011 for the following dates, times, and locations:
