NOTICE OF COMPLETION
ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING PROCESS TO INCREASE THE
GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA OF THE MARATHON LANDFILL SITE
The Town of Marathon has completed an Environmental Screening Process (ESP) in accordance with Ontario
Regulation 101/07 under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act to increase the geographic service area of the
Town’s landfill site located 1 km northeast of Highway 17 in O’Neill Unorganized Township, District of Thunder Bay.
The Town is proposing to increase the service area of the landfill to allow for acceptance of waste from Pic River First
Nation, Pukaskwa National Park and Heron Bay. The ESP concluded that the project is not expected to result in any
significant net effects.
An Environmental Screening Report has been made available for viewing at the Municipal Office located at 4 Hemlo
Drive, Marathon, Ontario, and on the Town of Marathon website (www.marathon.ca). Subject to comments
received as a result of this Notice and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Town of Marathon intends to proceed
with this project.
Public participation forms an integral
part of the study to ensure that
comments and concerns are identified,
documented and assessed. Under the
Freedom of Information and Protection
of Privacy Act and the Environmental
Assessment Act, unless otherwise
stated in the submission, any personal
information such as name, address,
telephone number and property
location included in a submission will
