Final approval expected soon... - EAB approves Decom - In an officiai recom- ânendation released by the Envirornental Assesament Board iast., week, the board has given conditionai ap- proval for Decom Medical Waste Systems Inc. to build a pathological waste transfer station on Sunray St. in Whitby. That recommendation is, now before the Minlstry of the En- virornment's director of enviromnentai ap- provals who is expected to make a final decision on the application sometime within the next two weeks. However, while the director has the power to overturn the EAB's recommendation, he has rarely done so. Ac- cording to the EAB's registrar, Yvonne Fer- nandes, the director has only overturned a recommendation from the board on "one or two"~ occasions in the five years she has worked for the EAB. The board's approval is subject to 21 con- ditions covering a broad range of requirements which mnust be met by Decom prior to and af- ter a certificate of ap- proval is issued by the MOE. Inciuded in that list of conditions are requfrements: that Decom submnit to the director detailed design plans and specifications; that only waste from Decom's collection vans be tran- sfered to Decom trailor units on site and that the human anatomical waste, animal anatomicai infectious and non-infections waste, non-anatomicai infectious waste and non.hazardous phar- maceutical waste may be transferred; that the amnount of waste tran- sferred cannot exceed 50 tons a day; that con- tingency protocols for spilîs and other emergencies be taught and clearly posted at the site; that access to and fromn the station to the 401 'can oniy be on Thickson Rd.; that the station be adequateiy secured at ail times to prohibit access by unauthorized persons; that no waste be discharged into a stormn sewer; that Decom provide sufficient funds for the retaining of an independent inspector for weekly inspections of the operation during the first three months of operation and once a month thereafter until deemed unnecessary; that Decom post a letter of credit worth $50,000 to the director* of ap- provals for use in the dlean-up of any spiils; that an extensive iist of operational, training and safety proceedures be observed in the operation of the station. In ils conclusions, the EAB report notes there is "an indisputabie iack of adequate incineration facilities"~ in the provin- ce and that there is a f need for a system such as the one proposed by Decom. If the facility is operated in accordance with the conditions of approval, the report fur- ther concludes that it shouid pose no threat to community health or safety. In fact, the report suggests that the facility would be no more dangerous than industry already located in the same in- dustriai park. In the event that the director of approvais supports the EAB's recommendation, a spokesman at the MOE said Tuesday that there is no avenue of appeal open to the town under the Environmental Protection Act.

The journey took the better part of the day and the historie structure reached its destination around 6 p.m. By Friday af- ternoon officiais had the original site fenced off and a sign was posted designating it as an archeological site (see inset). Officiais said the bouse would be temporarily stored on Cochrane St. at the entrance to the gardens until early this week when it was to be placed on its permanent site. According to coun- cillor Marcel Brunelle who followed the bouse on its day long journey, the move was carried off without mishap but in Doug Anderson's column this week he suggests there may be a few problems ahead for proponents of the move.
