s 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. July 19. 1989 T Vacation Bible School Class Makes Donation to Food Bank Council and Citizens Nix Dump Plans Ali VanHeiningen, of The Salvation Army, was week. The food helps bolster the Salvation Army food pleased to accept over 100 cans and boxes of food from bank, children at the Maranatha Vacation Bible School last With a December deadline deadline fast approaching, representatives representatives from Laidlaw Waste Systems have once again asked that the life of their Newtonville dump site be extended. In response to Laid! a Vs request on Monday, members members of the public and town council did not mince their words. Both groups insisted that when the dump reaches its current legal capacity in December it should be closed. Mayor Marie Hubbard said, "it's time we put the lid on this and kissed Laidlaw good-bye." At issue this week during a public hearing hearing of the Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's _ General Purpose and Administration Committee was a Laidlaw application to extend the life of the dump by seven years. This proposal proposal calls for the shifting of two natural gas pipelines running between two existing existing mounds of landfill. Laidlaw Laidlaw hopes to reroute the pipelines and "infill" approximately approximately 325,000 tonnes of garbage in the newly cleared space. Although the boundary boundary of the dump site would not change, the overall height of the garbage would rise roughly 25 metres above its current level. Several veteran Laidlaw protesters spoke on Monday, reiterating their longstanding longstanding demand that the dump undergo a full environmental environmental assessment -- something which they say has never happened. David Scott, president of the Committee of Clarke Constituents, reminded councillors that, "over the past six years, two attempts at expansion have been denied denied by the Town of Newcastle Newcastle and the Region of Durham Durham for environmental reasons. The only thing tha# has changed (regarding the current application) is the vast amounts of money Laidlaw Laidlaw has poured into these applications." Helen MacDonald of the Port Granby/Newcastle Environment Environment Committee reviewed reviewed some of the history of the site, going back to the early 1950's. "It appears to me that over time this garbage garbage dump has continued to operate, although common sense would dictate that it should never have been initially initially utilized as a dump and that it should be permanently permanently closed." Laidlaw representative John Kennedy tried to quell the fears of the residents. He said that Laidlaw and the Ministry of the Environment Environment take periodic water samples from Graham Creek and "have never had any indication of leachate." He said that the water exceeds exceeds Ontario drinking water water standards. He also noted that Laidlaw Laidlaw has planted 2,000 trees on the dump site and will plant more. The infill project, project, he explained, "will not change substantially the noise or truck traffic at the site." He suggested that one extra truck per day will be needed if the infill is granted. granted. Mayor Hubbard appeared annoyed when Mr. Kennedy was unable to answer questions questions about the increased use of the Newcastle Village sewage treatment facility which would result if the dump's life were extended seven years. She also was incensed when he did not know whether Port Hope garbage found its way into the Laidlaw dump. Mayor Hubbard asked that tne town's legal advisors advisors look into the fact that municipalities east of Newcastle Newcastle are sending their garbage garbage to the Laidlaw dump.

Having supported a region-wide region-wide move toward the use of biodegradable garbage garbage bags in March, councillors councillors last week rescinded that support. The councillors were faced with new evidence which questions the bags' usefulness in fighting the garbage crisis. Therefore, council decided to stop paying paying two to four times more for biodegradable bags. A works department re port stated that once the special bags are buried in landfill sites they do not break down for as long as five years. The light and air which activate the chemical reaction in the bags simply do not reach them, and they sit in landfill sites much as conventional bags do. Some environmentalists have expressed concern that biodegradable plastics are not recyclable. When Durham Durham soon launches a pilot project in Whitby to recycle mixed rigid plastics and plastic film as well as two litre litre plastic soft drink bottles, there could be a conflict with biodegradable plastic, staff reported. « July 20, 21, 22 HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!"
