An environmental study has to be made for the Westbourne nuisance grounds (landfill site) in the Municipality of Westlake-Gladstone.

"It's the environment department of the province that says we have to do that," says Westlake-Gladstone mayor David Single. "So, we are looking at hiring an engineering firm to do this study. They're putting test wells in, and they have to be monitored on an ongoing basis."

He adds all nuisance grounds require this study and they've already been doing it for the one in Gladstone, so it's nothing new for them.
