Environmental assessment

The Township of Clarence submitted a terms of reference for the expansion of the Clarence landfill on May 20, 1997, seeking approval for the expansion of the existing Township landfill to develop an additional 990,000 cubic metres of capacity over a period of approximately 25 years. The ToR for this project was approved on August 20, 1997, and the environmental assessment was subsequently submitted on June 29, 1998. The additional waste capacity at the landfill will be generated by increasing the size of the waste footprint within the existing landfill property which is owned by the Township. The government review of this environmental assessment was published on March 31, 1999 for a 30-day public comment period. This project received approval on November 24, 1999.
