Inadequate consideration of alternatives to the treatment of the material at the Cross Vein Mine site, including the potential for the off-site treatment of the de-watered silt nearer to the existing lagoon site in Peel and therefore the proposal would be contrary to Waste Policy 1 and Strategic Plan General Policy 3(g). 3. Inadequate consideration of alternatives to the deposition of the material at Cross Vein Mine, including the potential to spread the material on parkland and therefore the proposal would be contrary to Waste Policy 1 and Strategic Plan General Policy 3(g). 4.
