Having received a request from The Regional Municipality of Sudbury (the “Proponent”) that an undertaking, namely: the interim expansion, operation and closure of the Onaping Falls Landfill Site at part of lots 11 and 12, Concession 6, Township of Dowling, Town of Onaping Falls, District of Sudbury for the disposal of domestic, commercial and non-hazardous solid industrial waste, 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 current users of the Site who are located in The Regional Municipality of Sudbury will be without a municipal solid waste disposal facility. B. The Proponent will be subject to unnecessary delay and expense in implementing its long-term waste management program. C. The Proponent will be subject to unnecessary delay and expense if it is required to prepare an environmental assessment for the undertaking.
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. The continued 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. The other alternatives which have been investigated do not provide adequate capacity for the Proponent’s waste, pending commissioning of a facility through the Proponent’s long-term waste management program. C. A hearing under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act for approval of the continued operation and interim expansion will be held, thereby permitting the public and government agencies the opportunity for a detailed examination of the proposed changes to the site to protect the environment. D. It is the intention of the Proponent that the proposed long-term waste management program of The Regional Municipality of Sudbury be pursued in accordance with applicable legislation and the Proponent expects that sufficient elements of the program will be implemented prior to the conclusion of the exempt undertaking so that the Proponent will not have to seek further approvals for the Onaping Falls Landfill Site prior to completion of the long-term waste management program.
