That means the development rights, and associated costs, of 3,600 Muskoka properties could be affected. Should the guidelines come into effect, it could also make up to 116  privately held properties in Muskoka undevelopable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes being proposed include the area of influence (AOI) surrounding existing or former dumps and landfills. Under the new guidelines, the AOI would be fixed at 500 metres and measured from the site\u2019s property line, rather than the area containing the fill or substance of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPotential influence areas around all landfills and dumps in the District would be reset at 500 metres from the site\u2019s property boundary without any mechanism to reduce the area of influence or consider the landfill footprint size, location on the property, or age,\u201d states the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, it would invalidate the D-4 assessments (study of potential impact) the District has already undertaken. \u201cWe have spent to date about $253,000 at the District to clear D-4 assessments and allow people to be able to build, to be able to figure out how small the site is and the contamination so that people in proximity would be able to build,\u201d Phil Harding, Muskoka Lakes mayor and chair of the engineering committee, told District council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is unnecessary,\u201d added Fred Jahn, District commissioner of engineering and public works. He said the previous process for due diligence was more than adequate to address the potential impacts of landfill gas migration or the potential for leachate contamination of groundwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis just seems to be something that would be more applicable to large urban centres and not to Muskoka,\u201d added Jahn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>District council agreed to forward concerns surrounding the impacts of the proposed policy changes on Muskoka to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks as well as the Association of Municipalities Ontario for help lobbying against the proposed changes as they stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the report from District staff <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/06\/PW-8-2021-2-MECP-Proposed-Environmental-Compliance-Changes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a> (pdf) and more information or provide comment until July 3, 2021 on the Environmental Registry of Ontario<a href=\"https:\/\/ero.ontario.ca\/notice\/019-2785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proposed provincial policy changes surrounding land use compatibility guidelines are raising eyebrows at the District of Muskoka.
