Waste Management Facility - South Fill Area

Environmental Compliance Approval Amendment

Oxford County is preparing to use the South Fill Area in the next three to four years, once the currently operating North Fill Area has reached capacity. This requires amending the Environmental Compliance Approval for the Oxford County Waste Management Facility.

About the study process

The Oxford County Waste Management Facility (OCWMF) consists of the North Fill Area and the South Fill Area. The currently operating North Fill Area may be full as soon as 2029.

The OCWMF’s Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) requires an updated Design and Operations (D&O) report before using the South Fill Area. The County is preparing the required D&O report and renewing the Municipal and Private Sewage Works ECA for Ponds C and D. For this, the County will review the OCWMF history, including current approvals and regulatory requirements, complaints, monitoring reports, and future waste management goals.
