We need your help.
We are looking for two new representatives from the community for the Waste Management/Public Liaison Committee. One is a citizen rep and the other is a business rep.
Entrance to Waste Management on Carp Road
Background:
In September 2013, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) set out a number of conditions for approval of the expansion of the WM Landfill site on Carp Road that Waste Management must meet. One of those conditions was the establishment of a Community Liaison Committee (PLC).
The PLC provides input and guidance, and makes recommendations for all aspects of the landfill expansion project during both development and ongoing operation including:
open and transparent dialogue between the community and the company
fair compensation and treatment of the community by the company
recycling and organic plans
operations of the site
use of buffer lands
recycling and organic operations as expansion of the site matures.
The PLC has 12 voting members:
two members from Waste Management
five City of Ottawa Councillors from the following wards: West Carleton-March, Stittsville, Kanata North, Kanata South, and Rideau-Jock
three members of the public from the surrounding community
two members of the local business community.
If you are interested in being a member of the Public Liaison Committee and the important work it does, please send an expression of interest along with relevant experience and resume to Clarke.Kelly@ottawa.ca
