Project summary
The Mayer Waste Disposal Site is a private landfill in the Township of Champlain, in Eastern Ontario. It has been in operation since 1955.
The proponent has estimated that the landfill will reach its existing approved capacity by 2028–2029. They are proposing to increase the capacity by 650,000 cubic metres (m3) to continue receiving solid non-hazardous domestic and industrial waste.
This will allow the proponent to continue providing waste disposal services for an additional 20 years.

Terms of reference
The purpose of the EA is to identify alternative ways of expanding the Mayer landfill which will include consultation and the study of potential environmental effects and proposed mitigation. Mayer Waste Management has submitted its proposed ToR for a decision by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks (Minister).
A ToR is a work plan that outlines how the EA will be completed, including studies and consultation. The Minister must approve the ToR before the EA can begin.
Members of the public, government agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons are encouraged to provide comments on the proposed ToR. The Minister will consider comments before making a decision.
Read the notice of submission on the Mayer Waste Management’s website to learn how to review the ToR and submit your comments.
