Brock Road Landfills are a series of landfills used by Toronto (acquired by Metro Toronto in 1969) from 1975 to 1990s.〔http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/40123.pdf〕 The North and West site are in Pickering, while the South site is in Ajax. Only Brock North and Brock West were used as dumps, whereas Brock South site was acquired and left unused. Several factors led to the closure of the landfill sites, including: sites reaching capacity; public pressure to discontinue using these sites for Toronto's garbage; and the proximity of these sites to nearby farms, residential areas, and to sensitive or protected areas such as Grand Valley Park, Greenwood Conservation Area, and First Nations sites discovered in the Duffins Creek watershed to the west and east.〔http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/37427.pdf〕 ==Brock West== The Brock West site was an active landfill from 1975 to 1997. It could hold 18 million tonnes of waste, including 100,000 tonnes which were transferred from Brock North.〔http://www.dgmarket.com/tenders/np-notice.do~3976449〕 The site closed after 1997, and a plant to capture gas from the garbage was installed in 1991. The site is located west of Decker’s Hill, and the main gate is on Concession Road 3, west of Brock Road.〔http://www.trca.on.ca/dotAsset/40123.pdf〕() Next to the gate is an access point to the Seaton Hiking Trail, as well as public parking. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brock Road Landfills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
