今天收到的 notice 显示,环境局终于对这里的一家私人垃圾站增加日收垃圾量三倍的申请做了决定。
关于公众意见,环境局是这样说的:
Comments received through the posting on the Environmental Registry all shared concerns with increased traffic, odours, noise and litter associated with the increase in receiving limits and storage capacity. The ministry shared similar concerns and determined that insufficient information was provided with the application to address the concerns. As a result, the Applicant withdrew these requests from the application. The Applicant revised the request for 24/7 operation to allow for indoor loading and subsequent dispatching of up to six (6) trucks during the non-receiving hours of 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. The Site is currently permitted to operate between 3 a.m. to 12 a.m.
.......
让我感动的是环境局这次说他们 shared 公众的意见。这么多年来,环境局在我们这个地方一直是冷冷地对待公众意见,永远是平淡的一句:做决定时考虑了公众意见。而实际做的事情总是站在公众的对立面,以致民众丧失了信心和他们对话。
虽然我们仍然对现在这个决定有意见,或者说疑问,但是毕竟他们这次没有同意增加日收垃圾量。我把这个看作天边的一缕曙光,欢迎环境局站在公众的一边。
当然,关于疑问,我也向环境局要求相关文件和解释。我把这个看作公民的责任感。
加拿大地广人稀,一些企业完全没有必要放在人口稠密的地区,比如服务全安省的工业垃圾站,为什么要在最大的城市多伦多,加拿大人口最密集的地方?而且是室外堆放。
