Proponent: Central Regional Waste Management Committee

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proposal is to develop seven local waste management facilities (LWMF) to service communities located in the central region of Newfoundland . Each LWMF will provide a permanent storage of construction and demolition materials and provide a temporary collection area for waste before it is transported to the Central Newfoundland Waste Facility (Registration 1335) for further recycling and separation of organics. The sites are located at the following locations:

• Buchans Junction
• Point Leamington
• New World Island-Twillingate

There are location alternatives proposed for the New World Island-Twillingate and Fogo Island sites.
