Notice of Commencement of Environmental Assessment for the Mayer Waste Facility Expansion
Mayer Waste Management (781998 Ontario Inc.) has initiated an environmental assessment under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) to increase the total approved capacity at the Mayer Waste Disposal Site (MWDS) in Hawkesbury, Ontario by 650,000 m 3 . The MWDS is currently approved to accept a total of 928,812 m³ of waste. It is anticipated that the MWDS will reach its currently approved capacity between 2026 and 2033. The proposed 650,000 m³ expansion could extend the site life by approximately 20 years from when the existing capacity is exhausted (from 2026/2033 to 2046/2053) and would result in a total site capacity of 1,578,812 m³. The proposed increase would not change the type or annual volume of waste currently accepted at the Site and will allow Mayer Waste Management to continue to receive solid non-hazardous domestic and industrial waste and provide cost-effective and environmentally sound waste disposal to local customers. The environmental assessment will assess the potential effects of the proposed landfill continuation on the environment and surrounding community to ensure the expansion can be safely developed. The Process On December 19, 2024, the Minister of the
Environment, Conservation and Parks approved the terms of reference for the Mayer Waste Facility Expansion. A copy of the approved terms of reference is available at: www.MayerExpansionEA.com A hard copy of the file can also be found at: Mayer Waste Management Office 194 County Road 17 Hawkesbury ON K6A 2R2 613-632-2581 Monday to Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
This study will be carried out in accordance with the requirements under the EAA. The results from the study will be documented in an environmental assessment report, which will be submitted to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for review. At that time, members of the public, Indigenous communities and other interested persons will be notified when and where the environmental assessment can be reviewed. Consultation Members of the public, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the planning process of the project by attending consultation opportunities or contacting staff directly with comments or questions. Consultation and engagement events are planned throughout the EA process and will be advertised on the project website, through local newspapers and direct mail. A public event is expected to be held in Spring 2025. If you would like to be added to our project mailing list or have project-related questions, please contact:
