Part of the work undertaken during Stage 2A involves narrowing the search for areas in the county which may be suitable for use for the landfill component of the waste management system. The first step in identifying potential areas for landfill is to determine areas which are not suitable for this use. This is under- taken through a constraint mapping pro- cess. While constraint mapping may seem like a"round about" approach to finding areas suitable for siting a landfill, the process is required because it effec- tively reduces the number of areas re- quiring further study and investigation, and also ensures that all lands within the county have been taken into consideration.. CONSTRAINT MAPPING PROCESS Constraint mapping involves using a list of predetermined categories to map areas in the County which are considered to be UNSUITABLE for use as a landfill site area, and which will NOT be con- sidered further in the search for landfill areas. The constraint categories (sometimes referred to as exclusionary criteria) describe characteristics of an area that would be unsuitable for landfill site development because of the unaccep- table effects that such a development would have on the environment. PROPOSED CONSTRAINT CATEGORIES The following categories are proposed for inclusion in the initial constraint map- ping process. The list is not presented in any particular order. All areas which fall under one or more of these categories wr11 be excluded from further considera- tion. Again, the constraint factors identify areas Which will :not be considered fur- ther in the search for land areas suitable for the landfill component of the waste management system. *Areas of natural and scientific interest, example Saratoga Swamp *Wetlands (Class 1, 2 and 3), example Mullett marsh *Municipal wells, example, Town of Ex- eter municipal well *Airports (publicly certified), including an 8 km buffer zone, example Goderich Airport *Urban areas (as designated by the Of- ficial Plan), including a suitable buffer zone, example, Hensall, Kingsbridge 'Schools, including a suitable buffer zone, example, Brookside School 5Areas with high hydrogeological suscep- tibility to ground water contamination. This includes areas with moderate to high permeability deposits of sand and gravel, and areas with bedrock outcrops. •Provincial Parks and Conservation Authority lands, example, Point Farms Provincial Park, Falls Reserve •Licensed pits and quarries •County forests *Seasonal residential areas, including a suitable buffer zone •Specified classes of agricultural lands. While it would be desirable to eliminate all Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 agricultural land from further consideration for use as a landfill site it is likely that this would eliminate most of the land in the county. Therefore, it may be necessary to include only certain specified classes of agricultural land. The goal of the constraint mapping pro- cess is to determine areas which may be suitable for development for a landfill site area. It is possible that, after the mapping is complete, most areas in the county will have been eliminated. In that case it would be necessary to revise the list of constraint categories, and reduce the stringency of some of the categories. Land areas remaining upon completion of the initial constraint mapping process will be considered further under a secon- dary screening process in Stage. 2B (Analysis of Alternatives) The next Waste Management Steering Committee meeting is November 14, 10 a.m., at which time Stage 2A Draft Preliminary Report. The constraint snaps will be reviewed as well. The public and media are welcome to attend all steering committee meetings.
