This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Manitoba government has cleared one more hurdle in the push to search a Winnipeg-area landfill for the remains of two victims of an admitted serial killer.

In a letter to a manager at Waste Connections obtained by CBC News, the province says it's approving the needed change as the company seeks "to begin a humanitarian search activity within the landfill."

Donna Bartlett, whose granddaughter Marcedes Myran is one of the women whose remains are believed to be in the landfill, said she was glad to hear the search would likely start by the end of the summer and continue through the winter.

The environmental approval comes with a long list of conditions, including that the landfill dispose of all non-hazardous solid waste created or collected during the search in the active part of the dump, unless it gets recycled.

It will also have to take steps to minimize the presence of animals at the site, and retrieve any waste that gets blown into adjacent properties or accumulated in the development.

Other conditions include rules related to managing leachate, completing soil testing and reporting how much waste was excavated and returned during the search.
