Require a capacity assessment of the 'MNR operates landfill sites' and 'Dryden landfill' referenced in the submission to determine if project waste will displace residential access.
Strategic Rationale
The text indicates that Melgund residents have 'no curbside garbage' service and must transport waste to specific regional landfills. If the project utilizes these same shared facilities, it risks shortening their lifespan, increasing tipping fees, or displacing local residents. The Proponent must evaluate alternative waste disposal methods to ensure that the project does not degrade the existing, limited infrastructure that the community relies upon.
