Environmental Resource Recovery Centre Page Content Home About Siting FAQs Provide Feedback Previous Reports Siting Process The siting process was developed by Ontario industry-leading experts and included the evaluation of 502 potential sites through a three-screen process, applying over twenty environmental (such as the avoidance of wetlands and floodplains, vulnerable areas under Source Protection, prime agricultural areas, and sensitive receptors) and technical criteria. A short list of seven sites was presented for public, Aboriginal, and stakeholder consultation in fall 2015, followed by a detailed comparative evaluation completed by the County's consultant. Following an exhaustive siting and consultation period, on March 22, 2016, furthering development of a co-located OPF and MMF at 2976 Horseshoe Valley Road West, Springwater, was approved by County Council.
