Having received a request from The Corporation of the County of Lambton that an undertaking, namely: the expansion of the existing approved waste disposal landfill site located on part of Lot 12, Concession 3, in the City of Sarnia-Clearwater, County of Lambton, for the disposal of domestic, commercial non-hazardous industrial solid wastes and sewage sludges, be exempt from the application of the Act pursuant to section 29; and
Having been advised by the proponent that if the undertaking is subject to the application of the Act, the following injury, damage or interference with the persons and property indicated will occur: A. The proponent will be subject to delay and expense if it is required to prepare an environmental assessment for the undertaking. B. The proponent and its residents will be without a municipal solid waste disposal facility to serve the City of Sarnia-Clearwater, and the Village of Point Edward. C. Other available interim waste management options will result in significant increases in costs.
The undersigned is of the opinion that it is in the public interest to order and orders that the undertaking is exempt from the application of the Act for the following reasons: A. Expanded operation of the existing landfill is clearly an interim measure for which there are no other reasonable waste management alternatives which can be implemented within the necessary time frame. B. Alternatives have been investigated. C. A public hearing under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act for the approval of the expanded operation will be held. D. The proponent is developing a long-term waste management plan in accordance with applicable legislation and sufficient elements of that plan will be implemented prior to the conclusion of the exempt undertaking.
