“waste biomass” means agricultural waste, sewage, woodwaste and gases generated from the decomposition of organic materials, but does not include biogas or landfill gas; “waste disposal site” has the same meaning as in Part V of the Environmental Protection Act; “woodwaste” has the same meaning as in Regulation 347 of the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990 (General — Waste Management) made under the Environmental Protection Act.  O. Reg. 116/01, s. 1 (1); O. Reg. 360/09, s. 1 (1-9); O. Reg. 130/14, s. 1. (2) Despite the definition of “Environmental Screening Process” in subsection (1), the Environmental Screening Process includes an amendment made to the Guide referred to in that definition only if, in addition to the publication of the notice referred to in subsection 42 (2) of the Act, a copy of the amendment or the amended Guide is made available to the public by the Ministry at no charge on the Internet.  O. Reg. 116/01, s. 1 (2).
