-located in the cloverleaf intersection of highways 401 and 427 -exposed to all weather conditions -significant noise pollution -runoff, particulates and air pollution from surrounding roadways -unappealing visual aesthetics -not easily accessible What NOT to do…

 Wetlands, water courses and water bodies  Forested regions  Steep slopes  Major roadways  Densely urbanized area  Excessive noise  Excessive Pollution  Undesirable visual aesthetics

 Waterbodies, water courses, wet lands, and underground resevoirs buffer = 120 m  Slope extracted slope values between  Forested land non-buffered constraint

 Underground oil and natural gas pipelines buffer = 2 km  Public Health and Safety Services (EMS stations, police stations, hospitals, fire stations) buffer = 1.5 km  Airports buffer =1.5 km  Amusement parks/exhibition fair grounds buffer =1.5 km  GO railways buffer = 1.5 km o Water and solid dumpsites buffer = 1.5 km o Schools buffer = 500 m o Golf Courses buffer = 500m o Industrial land uses (transformers, auto wrecker sites (cut), lumber yard, mining areas, other industrial sites) buffer= 500 m

 Data export  Buffering  Dissolve  Union  Spatial join (one-to-many)  Erase

 In general the final decisions for choosing these three suitable cemetery locations were determined by their: 1. Parcel size: The bigger the Better 2. Proximity to the road network:They have to be accessible. 3. Proximity to various constraints and Externalities:
