Water and Wastewater Financial PlanS

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING and REPORTING
Major development projects are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. We often undertake public consultation with the help of a project consultant who assists us through the stages of the Environmental Assessment (EA) process. The EA process is an important part of planning future developments. With respect to waste management in Greenstone, an EA may be required for changes to existing landfill sites or the development of a new site. If we are working on a project, a notice will be advertised on the Municipal website and other media streams required by the Act.
