Ontario Waste Destined for Proposed Danford Mega Dump?

August 2, 2006, Ottawa, Ontario and Danford Lake, Quebec : Persistent rumours that
the proposed Danford Mega Dump, if approved, will be accepting tons of Ontario waste
has heightened community apprehension and further angered opponents of the super
landfill.

There are also rumours that the Mega Dump would accept all manner of construction
debris as well, a development that has also angered opponents.

"These rumours about Ontario waste coming to this proposed mega dump continue to
persist and while they are unsubstantiated, they raise the real possibility in
people's mind that the mega dump will be welcoming the waste generated in Ontario",
said André Carrière, President of the Coalition.

To date the Coalition has been unable to obtain an answer to the question it raised
concerning the possible importation of waste from Ontario. Neither the Quebec
Ministry of the Environment nor the proponents, Cohen and Cohen or the local MNA
have responded directly to this question. An agreement on inter-provincial
transportation has heightened apprehension around this point about Ontario waste.

The proposed 545-acre dump is being promoted by LDC Management and Environmental
Services, a private company majority owned by Ottawa demolition and recycling
company Cohen and Cohen. Gatineau businessman Denis Rouleau is a minority owner.

The Mega Dump has deeply divided the tiny community of Danford Lake, Quebec and the
surrounding municipalities and their citizens. The majority of residents remain
staunchly opposed to the project the site for which is just a few kilometers west of
this popular tourist and cottage area.
