Public Workshops Focus on Proposed Landfill

Thursday, 6 October 2016 05:37

Walker Environmental will be listening to questions and concerns about the proposed landfill during public workshops.

BEACHVILLE - The public has an opportunity to take part in public workshops to discuss the proposed Walker Landfill.

Project Director for the Southwestern Landfill Environmental Assessment Darren Fry says they will cover a wide range of topics during the course of the meeting.

"So we'll look at things like where on the property could the landfill be developed, we'll look at different types of landfill liner designs, we'll be looking at and discussing different haul routes and site entrances, how infrastructure within the facility could be developed and different technologies employed."

Fry says they want to hear from the people who live here in Oxford and invite questions and concerns.

"We will be having a number of round tables for community members to participate - we are developing a workbook. And their questions and their comments will be addressed and will be recorded."

The workshops will be held at the Colombo Club in Beachville on Thursday, October 13th. The first session is at 3 p.m. and the second session is at 6 p.m.

They do ask that you RSVP ahead of time so they can send materials out before the workshop. To RSVP call 1-855-392-5537, email info@walkerea.com, or visit the EventBrite page.

Registration is available at the door, and they will set aside a few extra workbooks.

Fry says there will be another round of public workshops in November.
