IT"S OFFICIAL: ANOTHER O.M.B. HEARING BITES THE DUST

This one was referred by yours truly to the Ontario Municipal Board in regards to Official Plan Amendment #15 (OPA #15). This dealt with a zone change and amendment to the Official Plan in regards to the expansion of the Safety-Kleen site in Breslau by 15 acres. The proposal was to purchase land from Forwell Sand and Gravel and then build a warehouse, safety flare and a storm water management pond. None of these per se were the problem nor was the initial step of removing some of the oil floating on the water table in the area. My concerns then and now centre around a mediocre remediation plan which should have been implemented fourty years ago.
