  • Canadian-American Environmental Relations: a Case Study of the Ontario-Michigan Municipal Solid Waste Dispute
    Canadian-American Environmental Relations: A Case Study of the Ontario-Michigan Municipal Solid Waste Dispute by Taylor Ann Heins A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Environment and Resource Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 ©Taylor A. Heins 2007 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Canada and the United States are faced with many cross-border environmental issues and therefore must negotiate potential solutions with one another. Complicating such negotiations is the fact that both countries are federal systems which require negotiations and decision-making interactions amongst various levels of government domestically which, in turn, influence and are influenced by bilateral relations. Therefore, this study focuses on governmental relations both within each country (intergovernmental relations) and between the two countries (bilateral/international relations). Using the Ontario-Michigan Municipal Solid Waste dispute (1996-2006) as a case study, this thesis advances an organizational framework for the examination of the role of formal and informal interactions in shaping bilateral environmental policy. Through application of this framework, it is revealed that both formal and informal federal level relations in the U.S. prevented sub-national and local level authorities from effectively developing a solution to the dispute. Future studies which apply the organizational framework used in this thesis to other cross-border environmental issues are needed in order to determine whether such conclusions hold true in the case of all cross border disputes.

  • Resources – Not Garbage Municipal Solid Waste in Ontario
    RESOURCES – NOT GARBAGE MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE IN ONTARIO By John Jackson Prepared for The Environmental Agenda for Ontario Project March 1999 SUMMARY Current Status In 1996, almost 9 million tonnes of municipal solid wastes were generated in Ontario. This amount was almost identical to the amount of wastes generated in 1987, almost ten years earlier. Approximately 80% of the waste generated was dumped into landfills in 1996. As of 1996, garbage disposal had been reduced by 22% from 8.9 million tonnes in 1987 to seven million tonnes in 1996. This means that four years after the provincially-set 1992 interim target date, we still have not met the interim target of 25% reduction. This makes it very unlikely that the target of 50% reduction by 2000 will be achieved. Disposal of garbage from residences has increased by 2.6% between 1987 and 1996. Disposal from the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors has decreased by 60%. This failure to reduce wastes generated and disposed of results in: wasted valuable resources, increased energy use, increased contamination at both the production and disposal stages, increased use of water at the production stage, increased climate change because of the release of methane by decomposing garbage, and the release of toxic contaminants from waste disposal facilities to the air and to surface and ground waters. The failure to reduce garbage generation and disposal to a greater extent has resulted in proposals for the expansions of many landfills across the province and for the creation of new mega-sites such as the Adams Mine in northern Ontario.

  • Northeastern Ontario Faces Threat of Adams Mine Dump ... Again
    Northeastern Ontario Faces Threat of Adams Mine Dump ... Again A highly controversial proposal to ship Toronto's garbage 8 hours north for dumping in an abandoned open pit mine has been pushed back into the limelight, amid a rash of controversies and charges of unfair dealing. Secret land deals, million dollar political donations and interference from the highest level of government have all been part of the picture as garbage entrepreneur and recently convicted tax evader Gordon McGuinty of Notre Development tries once again to lure Toronto trash away from the waste company currently contracted to ship the municipality's solid waste to private landfills in Michigan. When the City of Toronto walked away from the deal in the fall of 2000 because of liability concerns, local residents breathed a sigh of relief, after having fought the deal for more than decade. But accounts of meetings in February between Notre Development and CN Rail to map out a strategy to foment discontent over Toronto's shipping of garbage to Michigan signaled an end to that respite. In the intervening months tension has steadily built, as local activists and politicians drew the connecting lines between several powerful new players backing the most recent version of the Adams Mine deal. New on the scene is Mario Cortellucci, a multi-millionaire land developer in the Toronto region. Cortellucci is also the new owner of the Adams Mine, and the single largest donor to the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, having donated over a million dollars since the Conservatives came to power in 1995. One of the issues at the heart of the current controversy is a land deal which would see the Province of Ontario sell Cortellucci 2,000 acres of land surrounding the mine pits - the land acquisition is key to the project going ahead - for just $22 per acre.

  • The Adams Mine Landfill Project: How Does the EBR Fit In?
    The Adams Mine Landfill Project: How Does the EBR Fit In? Background In late July 2000, a number of individuals and groups began contacting the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO) and requesting that our office review the Adams Mine landfill project. The Commissioner asked his staff to conduct research on this subject because these inquiries raise some important issues about provincial approvals that may have been or may be granted by two ministries prescribed under the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR)—the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). The history of the Adams Mine project is complicated and the relationship between the EBR and the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) is complex. This article provides basic information about the project and the role of the EBR and the ECO. Adams Mine Landfill Project Rail Cycle North is a consortium of companies that include Notre Development Corporation (Notre), Canadian Waste, Miller Waste Systems, Ontario Northland and CN Rail. The key player in the consortium is Notre, which owns the Adams Mine site, located southeast of the Town of Kirkland Lake in northern Ontario. The Adams Mine site was previously used as an open pit iron ore mine. The chronology of the Adams Mine landfill project is as follows: 1989 Notre was formed to provide long-term residual waste disposal capacity for Ontario markets. Notre saw the need for new disposal capacity within Ontario to serve the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and studied the reuse and rehabilitation of closed mine sites for potential waste disposal capacity. 1995 Metro Toronto carried out technical studies and consultation on the Adams Mine’s environmental acceptability and developed a landfill design to meet its disposal needs, but decided not to develop the site itself.
