Landfill proponent says mega-dump won't impact water quality 

​

Walker Environmental on Monday released its long-awaited draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Southwestern Landfill in Oxford County. The landfill would accept 850,000 thousand tonnes of solid, non-hazardous waste per year (plus daily cover), generated in Ontario. It would be built in an existing quarry, which has already been mined.
