Association members, including president Warren Brailsford and vice presidents Joan Gulliver and Mike Heaton, say LASCO has been very cooperative in addressing residents' concerns about the car shredder, and test -berm of shredded waste (LASCO has ap- plied to the Region for an official plan amendment to allow construc- tion of a landscaped berm). However, residents want the test berm to continue for another two years to give LASCO and the Ministry of Environment more time to carry out more comprehensive tests. The association says tests should take place on groundwater after two years of, chemical leaching. The additional time would also allow development of a system to prevent wind-borne dispersal, residents cdaim. Residents say the current operation at LASCO is "unsatisfac- tory and must be greatly improved if a permanent waste disposal berm is to be permitted. " Pointing out that billions of dollars are spent on Great Lakes shore dlean-up, the association states "We therefore question the PUBLIC NOTICE THE RÉGIONAL MUNICIPALITY 0F DURHAM IN THE MATTER 0F: The Municipal Act, Sections 298 and 301 (R.S.O. 1980) TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Regional authorizing construction of the following projeots: NO.

Charlie Holt,general manager'of the scrap division at LASCO, says residents "will continue to be in- formed with'reégard to this con- cern." Hé points, out that the ministry has given approval for the, shredder and. berm, located in the southwest corner. of the industrial property. Hoît says the ministry will con- tinue to test the site as it does with ail industry, and he says groundwater tests thus far made bave shown no, effects. LASCO also conducted tests of residents' wells, the association notes, as a "before" sample of local groundwater. LASCO plans to plant trees and shrubs on th e berm site to provide a visual barrier that will apparently include such "indicator species" as eastern white pine trees which react to certain air pollutants.- LASCO formerly had a car shred- der on Cherry St., in an industrial area in Toronto, for 23 years before deciding on a new $6-milion shred- der to be located at the Whitby site and to operate under the name In- dustrial Metal'-as a division of LASCO. It began operation last August. In shredding, materials are separated into steel, used- by LASCO, lighter metals, sold to an, extractor, and waste. The residents' association says their Thickson Point commuiitYis "regularly bathed" in LASCO's5 "distinctive-smelling plume of smoke"' and that metallic com- pounds in the soul have been shown to be from LASCO. The association also questions the construction of a- berm 500 feet fromf the shoreline when'the Region of.ý ficial plan requirs a green beit ofi 1,OOfeet.

Hoît says that while the shredder is outside, air or "ceyclone" systemsi are installed to prevent particles from going-in the air where they couldbeblownaway. The residents' association states' ini thelî second submission that " Wë had been told that the whole shred'- ding process would be completely enclosed, making it a much cleaneri operation than that at Cherry Streete inToronto."
