Summary of Proposal:
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (Ministry) is proposing that two (2) regulations under the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) be amended to require landfill gas collection, and use or flaring (i.e. burning), for all operating and proposed new or expanding landfills with total waste disposal capacities larger than 1.5 million cubic metres. The proposed amendments also include provisions to recognize early action to capture landfill gas that has been taken by operating landfills.
Reductions in landfill gas (methane) emissions to the atmosphere will help contribute to Ontario's climate change goals and to any national or international greenhouse gas reduction targets.
This is the second, more detailed posting for the proposed regulations and contains the proposed text for those regulations.
