  3. Waste Management Workshop Background • History (facilities & collection) • Legislative Authority • Current Facilities • Current Collection Programs • Statistics • Benefits of County Waste Management Assumption

  4. Background - History of Waste Management Assumption • Problems identified in the late 1980’s with regards to waste handling & disposal systems for 32 member municipalities • Waste Management Master Plans • South Simcoe EA • North Simcoe EA (NSWMA) • Georgian Triangle EA • No Direction / No Waste Strategy • Lack of Innovation or Planning

  5. Background - History Facilities (what the County assumed): • Significant number of disposal facilities, many operated out of compliance

  6. Background - History • Facilities (what the County assumed): • Limited or insufficient environmental monitoring programs

  7. Background - History Facilities (what the County assumed): • Many disposal sites required immediate remedial efforts prior to the MOE allowing continued operation

  11. Background - Legislative Authority • In February 1990, under Bill 201, the County of Simcoe assumed the responsibility for waste management for all municipalities within the County, including authority for waste collection, disposal and processing facilities • In June 1993, under Bill 51, any County waste disposal site Certificates of Approval were amended to enlarge the service area to include all of the County.
