This would have resulted in a single mound with an elevation of 198.5 m (651 feet) as shown by Attachment No. 1. 1.3 In approving Laidlaw's request to be allowed to proceed under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act, the Ministry of the Environment specified that the lifespan of the Infill Project should not exceed 2 years to allow the completion of the environmental assessment for the long term expansion. In addition, the final contours of the infill project are not to significantly exceed the existing approved contours . Accordingly, Laidlaw currently proposes to extend the life of the existing site by 2 years at a disposal rate of 895 tonnes per week. The final proposed elevation, as indicated by Attachment No.2, would be approximately the same as that approved under the existing Certificate of Approval, being 183 m (600 feet) . 2. LEACHATE FORCEMAIN PROPOSAL 2 . 1 Laidlaw has also submitted its final report on its proposal to pipe the leachate from the landfill site to the Graham Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Newcastle Village.
