Leave to appeal Environmental Compliance Approval for waste transfer facility dismissed for failing reasonableness test.
The applicant sought leave to appeal the Director's decision to issue an Environmental Compliance Approval for a solid non-hazardous waste transfer facility.
The applicant argued the facility posed risks to local groundwater and the Thames River, and that public consultation was inadequate.
The Tribunal found the applicant had standing but failed the reasonableness test for leave to appeal.
The evidence showed all waste handling would occur indoors on an impermeable floor, posing no risk to water resources, and that the Director had considered all applicable laws, policies, and public comments.
The application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
