Stricter controls for Landfill sites in Manitoba
Manitoba Environment Minister Glen Cummings announced tighter rules for landfills to reduce solid waste by 50 percent by 2000. The regulation requires environmental operating permits, bans burning without permit, mandatory engineering studies, potential environmental assessments, and groundwater protection measures. Private waste grounds come under the same rules, with options for regional collaboration and waste transfer stations to support alternatives to landfilling.
