Petition to Premier Ernie Eves:

Whereas the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act has been significantly weakened with regard to the regulations concerning the siting of landfills, incinerators and other project proposals thereby allowing Northern Ontario to be unduly targeted as a waste zone and;

Whereas American experience has shown that all, even state of the art Incinerators, produce and emit, dioxins, furans, lead, mercury, and cadmium at levels that create significant measurable health impacts on the affected communities and,

Whereas the proposed Bennett incinerator is in violation of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) guidelines;

We, the undersigned, petition you, as the Premier of the Province of Ontario, to turn down the current application for the Bennett toxic waste incinerator proposed for Kirkland Lake and;

We, the undersigned, further petition you, as Premier of the Province of Ontario, to replace the current Environmental Assessment Act with legislation that gives affected communities a full environmental assessment including intervenor funding, and a comprehensive and public hearing.
