No leachate outbreaks.

Kerri provided a copy of the new consolidated Environmental Compliance Approval for the Lindsay Ops landfill to each member of the PRC. The MECP recently consolidated all of the separate notices of the approval and combined them all into one document. There were some minor administrative updates to the approval including adding additional diversion programs (construction and demolition, mattress recycling, textiles, etc.), adding mention of the new Operations Manual from 2018, as well as removal of wells from the monitoring program which have been decommissioned.

Kerri provided a memo to the PRC with background on the issues surrounding tire collection since the program transitioned to producer responsibility in early 2019. The memo recommended to discontinue collecting tires for recycling which will be brought forward to council in March of this year.
