Dresden keeps up Ontario landfill battle

Dresden, an Ontario town, is resisting plans by Waste company York1 to revive and expand a nearby dormant landfill. The proposed project would add over ten years’ worth of soil and construction waste, equivalent to filling the Rogers Centre multiple times. Despite local opposition, Premier Doug Ford’s government has moved forward with revised permits for the project after initially promising an environmental assessment last year. Municipal officials assert that York1's reliance on outdated approvals could bypass necessary environmental reviews; however, if the plan is approved, it would still need to comply with local zoning laws following York1’s recent decision to abandon a lawsuit against these requirements.

Story summary

The town of Dresden in southwestern Ontario is opposing a controversial landfill and transfer station project proposed by Waste company York1. York1 plans to revive a small dormant landfill less than a kilometre from Dresden and fill it with soils and construction waste over the next decade, equivalent to filling the Rogers Centre multiple times. Municipal officials argue that York1 is relying on outdated approvals to bypass a full environmental assessment. The Ford government, which previously backtracked on completing the study last year, has now opened the amended permits to public review. If approved, the landfill would still be subject to local zoning requirements after York1 dropped a lawsuit challenging these local approvals.
