Walker Environmental Group isn't getting a passing grade from the technical experts on its first attempt at explaining its landfill proposal. Oxford County's Peer Review Team is out with a 124-page report, in response to Walker's draft Terms of Reference on its plans to open a massive landfill in Beachville. The team of 14 technical experts say the work plans are too generic, and lacking detail. Peer Review Team Manager Chris Haussmann tells Heart FM, "The work plans that they include are so generic that we really can't determine whether they would be appropriate or adequate to the task of properly assessing the affects of the proposal of the environment." They are also calling for a more detailed relationship when it comes to the proposed landfill, and its relationship operating alongside the Carmeuse Lime plant (in photo). "The people who come to work everyday at the quarry are no different than people who live in a residence nearby, and they have to be considered as such and the affects have to be assessed that way. That relationship needs to be clarified." The review team is calling for an explanation of who would be responsible for environmental impacts at the site. Haussmann says they're also requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period on the final terms of reference. "Each individual municipality wants to put forward recommendations with regards to this project, and these terms of reference, and it takes longer than 30-days to get through that process. So they the extra time, certainly from a municipal administrative process to get that done." The Review Team is also making that request known to the Environment Minister by sending Jim Bradley a letter this week. Click here to view the Peer Review Team's full report.
