OLD ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) DOCUMENTS
NEW BRUNSWICK DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT EIA PROCESS
EIA documents are produced whenever there are any projects that fall within guideleines set by the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government (NB DELG). For more information on the EIA process refer to the NB DELG website NB DELG EIA
2019 PROJECT FOR ALTERNATE MARINE CLAY SOURCE
An EIA was registered to use an alternate source for marine clay to use for cell liner. The proposal was to extract clay and aggregate stone to provide construction materials for future landfill disposal cells and general maintenance projects at the Crane Mountain Landfill. Read the EIA and Technical Review Committee (TRC) approval.
The FRSC Board of Directors decided not to pursue this project any further and it was cancelled.
2004 PROJECT TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE LANDFILL
An EIA was registered to increase the height of the landfill. Number 1025 on the DELG website. The proposed project involves the increasing of the height of the existing cells at the Crane Mountain Landfill by 15 metres, from 90 to 105 metres , which would increase the lifespan of the landfill by an anticipated 10-15 years. The TRC raised these questions with the FRSC. The questons were never answered. The EIA was withdrawn by the FRSC.
SELECTION AND DESIGN OF THE LANDFILL
Starting in 1994, an action team was organized to find a location for a Solid Waste site. A short list was produced consisting of Crane Mountain and Paddy Hill and an EIA prepared based on these two sites. There are a number of documents related to the design and planning; they are available in paper copy. A summary of the original EIA is available here
The original EIA is currently only available in hard copy. On request, page can be scanned for specific review. Currently the only section available are pages 4-24 to 4-42
