"The Region bas said PLC will be at the table when discussions are taking place,» sàid McGinnis. He sai-d that MacLaren has started hydrogeological tests on aIl areas of Durhamn Region to determine in what areas a dump would be possible and the PLOsa participation would be essential to any site selection or alterna- tives. «We have to take the fear away, » agreed Carl Howe Jr. of Oshawa. He said the PLC would be valuable in providing communi- cation te the public about the process of the study. 1 "The basic public is afraid of this. They need communication and have to be made aware of alternatives," said Howe. Others agreed, noting that recycling would be the main alternative to a landfill site. But Ralph Blank of Whitby noted that dumping waste in a landfxÎll site is less expensive than recycling. «We elther h ave to bring-down the recycling fee or raise the tipping fee at dumps," said El ank. Mcinnis said that of the $1- million cost of the study, $600,O00 was earmarked for the technical detials while $400,O0 was noing towards the non-tech- nicai* end, - such as newsletters and public meetings and the PLO. McGinnis was then asked about specific funding for PLC. "Our (Eneract) impression is that MacLaren wiII give us the budget we need if we ask for reasonable thi ngs," replied McGinnis. The next, general meeting of the PLC wiîl be Oct. 11. A steering committee comprised of two representatives -fromi each municipaîity in- Durhanm and four general inembers will meet on -Sept. 27.
