Environmental Assessment
On February 7, 2001, the Minister approved, with Cabinet’s concurrence, the West Nipissing and Area Waste Management Master Plan. The Corporation of the Municipality of West Nipissing (the Municipality) was seeking approval for the provision of landfill capacity for 150 000 tonnes of solid, non-hazardous municipal, industrial, commercial, institutional and other solid non-hazardous waste by the establishment, operation, maintenance, closure and rehabilitation of an expansion to the existing Town of Sturgeon Falls Landfill. The site is proposed to meet the community’s needs for a minimum period of 20 years. The areas encompassed by the application were amalgamated into the new Municipality of West Nipissing, including the Town of Sturgeon Falls.
