Woodstock will not support Walker Environmental releasing waste water into local treatment plants. City council voted unanimously to approve a motion that would see Mayor Pat Sobeski send a letter to the company stating Walker will have to deal with waste on their own site. Walker is the company attempting to establish a large landfill in Beachville. At a similar facility in Niagara, Walker takes the leachate from its landfill and uses storm ponds and ditches to collect the run-off, and then pumps the surface water to a nearby waste water treatment plant. Sobeski says Woodstock has always been protective of cross boarder services and the city wants it on record that they will prohibit the expansion of waste water facilities and infrastructure to accommodate Walker in Oxford County. This comes as as Walker prepares to put forth their terms of reference for an environmental assessment in late-May.
