AND WHEREAS this document needs to be extensively revised to provide clarity as to the proposal, the plans for evaluation of alternatives and alternative methods and ensure that a commitment to an overall EA monitoring strategy is undertaken;

 

AND WHEREAS Waste Management of Canada Corporation (WM) must give key stakeholders sufficient detail of its proposed EA, so that these stakeholders can give more than just pro forma input, and are not left to speculate as to what WM may or may not do;

 

AND WHEREAS based on the current document, the City’s assessment is that WM has not met the requirements of the EA guidelines and that an EA conducted in accordance with the draft ToR document will likely lead to an environmentally unsound proposal;

 

AND WHEREAS the west end community of Ottawa is profoundly concerned that its health and well-being, and will be, adversely affected by this Landfill and any proposed expansion thereof;

 

AND WHEREAS approximately 10,000 people have signed the petition in opposition to the Landfill expansion drafted by MPP Sterling, and presented to the Legislature by MPPs Sterling and MacLeod and based on statements of the Minister of Environment in the Legislature, each signature on this petition in opposition to the Landfill expansion will be considered a separate comment;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council:

 

1.         Request the Minister of Environment allow the City and the public to present further submissions in response to any amended ToR proposal by WM that may be filed in the future to MOE, and that the City and the public be given no less than 180 days to respond to any such amended proposal, and;

 

2.         Request the Minister of the Environment to require any EA conducted by WM be peer reviewed by independent experts paid for by WM and that the review be supervised by the City of Ottawa, and;

 

3.         BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council circulate this motion to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the Environment, all Ottawa area M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the appropriate staff at the Ministry of the Environment.

 

Motion 3

 

WHEREAS in mid-January, Waste Management Corporation of Canada (WM) announced its proposal to expand its Carp Road landfill from 8 to 26 million cubic metres in 25 years - a three-fold increase in size;

AND WHEREAS during the period for public comment, sharing information, resources, and expertise, four representative community groups recently submitted one joint set of comments on the draft Terms of Reference to WM, titled Response of the Community including a separate set of comments by OttawaLandfillWatch.org, titled Alternatives to Landfill for Waste Disposal in the City of Ottawa;

 

AND WHEREAS accompanying the joint submission was a separate report by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), titled Comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference;

 

AND WHEREAS these documents have been endorsed by all four community groups and are the culmination of an unprecedented effort by hundreds of volunteers and the result of thousands of volunteer hours and includes the discussion group reports from the March 28th Community Action Forum convened by Councillors Feltmate, El-Chantiry and Stavinga and benefits from a legal review;

 

AND WHEREAS these reports include over 250 recommendations and thousands of individual comments that must be addressed prior to the formal submission and approval of WM’s Terms of Reference;

 

AND WHEREAS among the concerns raised are the existing conditions and operations of WM’s facility, justification of the need for additional disposal capacity, and the long-term sustainability of such an expansive undertaking;

 

AND WHEREAS these reports also draw attention to the disparity between the provincial target for landfill diversion and the absence of effective policies and regulations for managing industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) waste and note that over 60% of the waste entering WM’s facility is ICI;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council:

 

1.         Request the Minister of Environment to consider the full public record compiled as a result of the draft Terms of Reference and advise the City of actions to be undertaken in conjunction with its review of the Terms of Reference, and;

 

2.         Circulate this motion to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the Environment, all Ottawa area M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the appropriate staff at the Ministry of the Environment.

 

Motion 4

 

WHEREAS the City delivers a broad spectrum of residential solid waste services including the collection and disposal of municipal solid waste and the diversion of materials from landfill;

AND WHEREAS in 2005, this resulted in the collection of 319,500 tonnes of residential waste, of which 108,949 tonnes, or 34%, was diverted from disposal;

 

AND WHEREAS based on limited information collected from private waste collection and landfill contractors, over twice as much solid waste was collected from the industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sector, with only 17.5% of that diverted from landfill and these services are provided to local businesses, employers and service providers through the work of a number of private contractors;

 

AND WHEREAS although the City is not responsible for the ICI waste collection, diversion and disposal services, Council’s recent decision to offer waste collection and diversion service to the small business community through the Yellow Bag program, is an initial step towards minimizing landfill requirements for this sector;

 

AND WHEREAS in accordance with the City’s Integrated Waste Management Master Plan continued efforts are underway to develop initiatives to maximize waste diversion and minimize landfill capacity consumption including Residential Waste Diversion Strategy and Education and Communication Programs;

 

AND WHEREAS the City will be undertaking a review of new and emerging technologies through a Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) to be issued in June 2006 with a summary review of this Alternative Technologies REOI expected to be before Committee in the Fall of 2006;

 

AND WHEREAS efforts are also underway to review the adequacy of the Waste Characterization study completed in 2000 for the residential and ICI sectors;

 

AND WHEREAS this review will assist the City in potential selection of alternative technologies and as such, financial and staffing requirements that are to be identified as part of the 2007 Budget process;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council:

 

1.         Direct that the REOI to be undertaken include a thorough examination of the suite of technologies for managing both residential and ICI waste streams.

 

2.         Revisit its Integrated Waste Management Master Plan (IWMMP) to develop comprehensive city wide residential and ICI waste management strategies, and;

 

a)         That this undertaking examine such matters as the management of ICI waste, municipally-operated alternatives competing with, or replacing, privately operated landfills for both residential and ICI waste, regulatory requirements, recycling programs, diversion measures, alternative disposal solutions, waste-to-energy systems, and environmentally-sustainable landfills, as well as the implementation of a process to ensure the Plan is regularly updated to include new insights garnered from initiatives piloted/implemented by other municipalities in Ontario and elsewhere; and 

 

b)         That this undertaking be conducted expeditiously with funds to be made available in 2006 from the Solid Waste Compensation Reserve Fund; and,

 

3.         Formally request Waste Management to give due consideration to the ongoing efforts of the City to address its waste management needs.

 

4.         Formally request Waste Services Inc., who are concurrently preparing draft terms of reference for an environmental assessment to increase the capacity of its Navan Road landfill, give due consideration to the ongoing efforts of the City to address its waste management needs, and;

Motion 5

 

WHEREAS recognizing a looming waste management problem, Ontario governments in the late 1980s and in early 1990s introduced a variety of policies, regulations and funding programs to introduce, then develop and enhance waste diversion, including the Waste Diversion Act, 2002;

 

AND WHEREAS in June 2004, the MOE released a Discussion Paper and conducted public consultation sessions on how to achieve the Provincial-wide goal of 60% waste diversion with extensive discussions on several key topics, such as accelerating centralized composting for residential waste and the feasibility of phasing-in a ban on disposal of key organics and recyclable materials; renewing commitment on institutional, commercial and industrial (ICI) waste diversion; reducing packaging and increasing the recycled content in products and packaging; finding new waste diversion technologies; and initiating a Province wide monitoring system for waste;

 

AND WHEREAS despite these efforts, Provincial leadership has diminished in recent years, to the extent that in January 2005 the Ontario Waste Management Association submitted a report entitled “The Private Sector ICI and Waste Management System in Ontario” and in December 2005, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario submitted a “Proposal for a Provincial Integrated Waste Management Strategy”;

 

AND WHEREAS the Province has the authority and regulatory ability to directly impact diversion rates and lower the reliance on landfills and has not taken any concrete action directing the ICI sector to achieve the 60% diversion goal;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve:

 

1.         That City staff expedite the review of existing regulatory involvement, monitoring, diversion and service delivery opportunities and mandates to encourage diversion efforts with the local ICI sector and report back to Planning and Environment Committee in Winter 2006/2007.

 

2.         That the Province be requested to increase enforcement of existing regulations such as Waste Audits and Waste Reduction Work Plans (O. Reg 102/94) and Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) Source Separation Programs (O. Reg. 103/94).

 

3.         That the Province be requested to establish a Task Force involving appropriate stakeholders, including municipal representatives from Association of Municipalities of Ontario, LUMCO, Rural Ontario Municipalities Association and representatives from ICI sectors, Ontario Waste Management Association, Recycling Council of Ontario and others to formulate integrated waste management strategies for areas within the Province of Ontario, and;

 

4.         That this motion be circulated to the Premier of Ontario, Minister of the Environment, all Ottawa area M.P.P.s, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Large Urban Mayors’ Council of Ontario (LUMCO), the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA), the Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) and the Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO)

 

MOTION 6

 

WHEREAS limitations of existing landfill capacity and the social, economic and environmental costs of expanding landfill is forcing the City of Ottawa and its citizens to rethink waste collection and disposal strategies;

 

AND WHEREAS waste diversion is the most fundamental solution to reducing waste disposal;

 

AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has set a 60% waste diversion target to be achieved by 2008;

AND WHEREAS in the residential MSW sector the City of Ottawa will achieve this target by 2008;

 

AND WHEREAS there does not appear to be a waste diversion strategy to achieve this provincial target in the ICI sector;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council:

 

1.         Direct that the City of Ottawa as an institution become a model for waste diversion for the ICI sector by developing waste diversion programs (including recycling) for its offices, buildings and public facilities;

 

2.         Direct that such proposals to begin implementing these programs be developed for the 2007 budget, with final implementation being achieved by the 2008 budget;

 

3.         Formally request Waste Management to give due consideration to the ongoing efforts of the City to address its waste management needs;

 

4.         Formally request Waste Services Inc., who are concurrently preparing draft terms of reference for an environmental assessment to increase the capacity of its Navan Road landfill, give due consideration to the ongoing effort of the City to address its waste management needs;
