2. Ted Comiskey, Mayor, Town of Ingersoll, Briefing Note Regarding Granting
Municipal Right to Approve Landfills in Ontario
That the following resolution from Town of Ingersoll, regarding Granting Municipal Right
to Approve Landfills in Ontario, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas municipal governments in Ontario do not have the right to approve
landfill projects in their communities, but have authority for making decisions on
all other types of development;
And Whereas this out -dated policy allows private landfill operators to consult with
local residents and municipal Councils, but essentially ignore them;

And Whereas municipalities already have exclusive rights for approving casinos
and nuclear waste facilities within their communities, whether to host cannabis
retail in their communities,
And Further that the province has recognized the value of municipal approval for
the siting of power generation facilities;

Commercial and Institutional (ICI) waste generated within the City of Toronto,
where diversion rates are as low as 15%;

Report PDR -004-19
And Unless significant efforts are made to increase recycling and diversion rates,
a new home for this Toronto garbage will need to be found, as landfill space is
filling up quickly;
And Whereas municipalities across Ontario are quietly being identified and
targeted as potential landfill sites for future Toronto garbage by private landfill
operators;
And Whereas other communities should not be forced to take Toronto waste, as
landfills can contaminate local watersheds, air quality, dramatically increase
heavy truck traffic on community roads, and reduce the quality of life for local
residents;
And Whereas municipalities should be considered experts in waste
management, as they are responsible for this within their own communities, and
R \N--LD-H-&FD(3-/Z RL)NRI [house expertise in managing waste, recycling,
and diversion programs;
And Whereas municipalities should have the exclusive right to approve or reject
these projects, and assess whether the potential economic benefits are of
sufficient value to offset any negative impacts and environmental concerns;
Therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington calls upon the
Government of Ontario, as SDLY RI DC4+L❑C2 dVW ❑ URLP H \M ® 1\R_
formally entrench the right of municipalities to approve or reject landfill projects in
or adjacent to their communities;
And That in the case of a two-tier municipality, the approval be required at both
the upper -tier and affected lower -tier municipalities;
And Further That the Municipality of Clarington encourage all other municipalities
in Ontario to consider this motion calling for immediate provincial action;
And That the motion adopted by Council be forwarded to the demand the right
coalition of Ontario municipalities.
