OMB says no to Shire’s sludge By Mike Williscraft NewsNow An appeal which would have allowed the storage and distribution of sludge at a Frost Road location in Lincoln has been rejected by the Ontario Municipal Board.
NewsNow broke the story last Thursday on its newsnowniagara.com site. “From all the mail we have been receiving, it is clear the citizens of Lincoln feel tremendous relief with the result. No one can ever
pre-judge the outcome of an OMB Hearing and so the thought of losing and, “what next?” is always top of mind,” said Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton. “There were two major parts to the decision; local
need and local policy. In the past, losses would often be attributed to non-compliance to local policy. In this case, Lincoln’s Official Plan was in compliance with provincial and regional policy See OMB, Page 2
