fewer than 1500 people If a citizen feels that he or she might miss a notice in the newspapers for any reason he or she may write to the Ministry of the Environment Environmental Approvals Branch and ask to be Another way to be as to the date of the is to phone the municipal council for the area involved Once it Is acknowledged that a hearing will be held any citizens group interest ed in fighting an application for landfill site should retaina lawyer who is with hearings before administrative tribunals Also experts on technical aspects of the proposal should be hired The areas most likely to

Strati Georgetown 877 Stmt Farm a I a CLEO publication Is expensive but the hearing is a technical one with the basic question being whether the containment system proposed will in fact contain wastes without ting the atmosphere or the water tabic a citizens group is not likely lo succeed unless it has retained experts who can criticize the site and suggest Improvements in case it is approved If the Environmental Assessment Board does recommend against an application and the Director of Approvals who makes the final determination turns down the application applicants have on automat Ic right of appeal while any or objectors have no right of appeal Although this provision has been criticized extensively no change in legislation has come about to date Often two hearings are held In relation

munlcl a hearing may be held under The Planning Act before the Ontario Municipal Board Although planning Issues are the main expertise of the they will also listen to environment evidence and there is some chance that an application might be turned down at the stage The disadvantage of Ing two hearings is obviously that a great deal of time and money Is wasted Because of Ihis Ihe Ministry of the Environment has promised legislation which would streamline the process and provide for only one hearing which would deal with all aspects of the proposal Citizens and citizen groups concerned with waste in area have made substantial inroads by parti i pa ting in the approvals process example in the Maple case substantial conditions were imposed even though the application was approved Among the conditions was require ment that citizens and general public must be allowed access to monitoring reports and other documents related to the site and its operation Also Increasing pressure is being put on the Ministry of the Environment to step up efforts lo use methods of waste disposal and recycling which do not to waste valuable land ally agricultural land and endanger the air and water
