Improved Ontario Waste Disposal
Site Inventory.
NEW data in the Ontario private source collection - going back to 1915!
ERIS has improved the reporting structure for the Ontario Waste Disposal Site Inventory.
Previously, information contained within the "June 1991 Waste Disposal Site Inventory" was combined with data contained within the MOE's electronic Approvals Inventory of waste disposal sites. To better reflect the source of information, ERIS has created 2 provincial "Waste Disposal Site" databases:
1. Waste Disposal Sites - MOE CA Inventory (WDS) 1970-Sept 2002
An inventory of known open (active or inactive) and closed disposal sites in the Province of Ontario. Active sites maintain a Certificate of Approval, are approved to receive and are receiving waste. Inactive sites maintain Certificate(s) of Approval but are not receiving waste. Closed sites are not receiving waste.
2. Waste Disposal Sites - MOE
1991 Historical Approval Inventory (WDSH) up to Oct 1990In 1991, the Ontario MOE published the "June 1991 Waste Disposal Site Inventory", of all known active and closed waste disposal sites as of October 30st, 1990. For each "active" site as of October 31st 1990, information is provided on site location, site/CA number, waste type, site status and site classification. For each "closed" site as of October 31st 1990, information is provided on site location, site/CA number, closure date and site classification.

NEW data in the Ontario private source collection - going back to 1915!
Data is now available for registered storage tanks from 1915-1953. The Anderson’s Storage Tanks database was compiled by examining various historical documents, which identified the location of former storage tanks, containing substances such as fuel, water, gas, oil, and other various types of miscellaneous products. Please note that data contained within this database pertains only to the city of Toronto.
