July 7, 2010 Dear Residents;
The first step in the application for approval to proceed with an undertaking under the Environmental Assessment Act is the approval of a Terms of Reference (ToR) by the Minister of the Environment. The ToR provides the framework for what will be studied in the EA and the public consultation that will occur. WM submitted their proposed ToR to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on June 18, 2010. Members of the public, agencies and the City of Ottawa have until July 19, 2010 to submit comments on the ToR. Please be advised that the Chair of the Planning and Environment Committee has called a Special Meeting for Tuesday, 13 July 2010 at 9:30 a.m. in the Champlain Room, 110 Laurier Avenue West for the purpose of considering the following item: Proposed terms of reference for an environmental assessment of a new landfill footprint at the West Carleton Environmental Centre. The agenda for the meeting is found at the following link;

This meeting is an opportunity for members of the public to address the Planning and Environment Committee on this important issue. I encourage everyone who is available to present your comments to the committee members and if you are unable to attend in person you can still have your comments recorded by sending them to the clerk at Caitlin.Salter-MacDonald@ottawa.ca.
