WRWEO appeals to Environment Minister to reject landfill changes

landfillWRWEO Co-Chairs have written Minister of Environment, Randy Delorey, to direct his attention specifically to the impact of increasing the cellheight on the viability of The Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail as a wilderness recreation for the citizens of Nova Scotia and its many visitors. They request the Minister “on behalf of all the citizens of the Province who love this trail for the wilderness experience it affords and the environmental values it represents, to reject the application from HRM Regional Council to remove the cover of one of the completed and stabilized cells at Otter Lake Landfill and begin adding materials that would increase its height with consequences that would directly, and for the foreseeable future, permanently and negatively impact The Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail.” WRWEOletter23Jan2015
