Summary of Proposal:
O. Reg. 78/90- City of Brantford BRAN-C-1- OIC# 227/90
The purpose of O. Reg. 78/90 was to exempt the City of Brantford from the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) for the activity of developing its northwest industrial area. The development has been completed and the conditions of the
exemption were met therefore O. Reg. 78/90 is no longer required.

The purpose of O. Reg. 307/92 was to exempt the interim expansion, operation and closure of the North Landfill Site (currently known as the Beaver Brook Road Landfill) in the Township of Charlottenburgh (currently known as the Township of South Glengarry)from the requirements of the EAA. An EAA approval has since been issued to the
Township of South Glengarry for the long-term expansion of the Township?s Beaver Brook Road Landfill and North Lancaster Landfill. The exemption in O. Reg. 307/92 therefore is no longer required.
O. Reg. 425/93- The Township of Clarence- CLAR-TP-1- OIC# 1800/93
The purpose of O. Reg. 425/93 was to exempt the Township of Clarence from the EAA requirements for the interim expansion, operation and closure of the Clarence Township Landfill for a five year period while it undertook an environmental assessment study for
the expansion of the landfill site. The waste disposal site closed in 2001 and continues to be subject to a closure plan in an EAA approval. The exemption in O. Reg. 425/93 therefore is no longer required.
O. Reg. 455/96- Ontario Hydro- OH-36- OIC# 1733/96
The purpose of O. Reg. 455/96 was to extend the time period for which the proponent would be exempt from the EAA requirements for a change in the Lake Gibson Small Hydro Generating Station. O.
