Environmental assessment

The proponent is the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Service Limited and Advance Container of Canada, a Division of Green Lane Environmental Group Limited. An environmental assessment for the expansion of the Green Lane Landfill Site was submitted in November, 1996. The site is located on those parts of Lots 21, 22 and 23 North of Highway 401 in Concession III in the Township of Southwold, County of Elgin.

Over the life of the site (25 years), the proposed capacity would be 5,850,000 cubic metres plus an additional contingency capacity of another 2,900,000 cubic metres which includes daily cover. The site would be accepting non-hazardous solid waste from Elgin and Middlesex Counties, and the Cities of St. Thomas and London. The Notice of Completion of Review was issued on October 1, 1997 with the public comment period ending on October 31, 1997. The project was approved on August 13, 1998.
