Landfill visible from 2nd, 3rd Loops of The Bluff Trail

landfillAt the November CoCO meeting, Dave Patriquin,Co-Chair at Woodens River Watershed Environmental Organization (WRWEO) presented the concerns of WRWEO about the visibility of the landfill Site from Loops 2&3 of the Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trail will be if the decision is made to raise the height of the existing cells by 15 meters. The WRWEO Board has sent a letter to Waste Resources Society, HRM Mayor and Councillors to outline their concerns about the impact to the Bluff Wilderness Hiking Trails view planes should the proposed changes come to be our reality. It is most upsetting to have a nationally well known wilderness hiking trail in such close proximity to downtown Halifax be threatened with loss of a wilderness experience because of the possible new views of the Otter Lake Landfill Site. Other group reps were asked to write letters to support the concerns raised by WRWEO in their Letter. The letters need to be written before this matter comes back to HRM Council on December 9.
