FINDING A NEW LANDFILL SITE: THE NEXT STE P Dhe search for a new landfill site to serve the residents of the Region of Durham is a difficuit job. The provincial government has estab- lished a government authority,, the Interim Waste Authority (IWA), to find threet environ men tally-sui table landfilIls to meet the long-term waste disposai needs- of the Greater Toronto Area, which includes the Region of Durham. The search began last August when the IWA released its first document outlining-the proposed criteria for the site search. During the public consul- tation period, the IWA received wide-ranging views and opinions about the planned process. Following public comment, the IWA is now releasing the revised criteria prior to the-preparation of any long list of potential landfill sites. Called RevisedApproach and Criteria (Steps 1-4), Supplemental Criteria (Steps 5-6), and referred to as Environmental Assessment Document II, Part 1, this document includes additional and new criteria. Lt is now available to the public for a minimum review period of 60 days.
