...... . • The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, April 16,1994 23 Laidlaw Says Newtonville Site Preferred to hNk Choice by Laura J. Richards A proposed expansion at Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd. in Newtonville has been suggested as an alternative site to the Interim Waste Authority's (IWA) preferred site in Pickering. Laidlaw's Expansions Project Manager, Dianne Lemieux, wrote in a letter to the IWA this would be in keeping with a precedent the government government authority has already set. That particular decision was to examine examine the expansion of Toronto's' Kecle Valley landfill site for Toronto Toronto as a 'preferred site.'

"Till memories fade and life departs You'll live forever in our hearts". 15-1N Laidlaw's proposed expansion on Stapleton Road should be compared to the IWA's preferred site in Pickering. Pickering. This would be in keeping with the precedent-setting decision, she said. Lemieux's letter was one of three sent to the Clarington Council from the IWA's General Manager, R.C. Norberg. The letter from Laidlaw's Expansion Expansion Project Manager tells the tale of a company snubbed by the IWA during its search for a Durham Region Region only dump site. "We disagree with the IWA's decision decision to site the landfill in Pickering, Pickering, Ontario (Site EE11)," states Lemieux's Lemieux's letter. "More importantly, we disagree with the way in which the IWA chose to initially identify candidate sites involving Laidlaw's property." She explains in the letter to Walter Walter Pitman, the Chair of the IWA's Board of Directors, that since 1991 "it was common knowledge in the Region of Durham that Laidlaw was undertaking the necessary studies in support of an application, pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act, to expand our existing Durham landfill site onto property owned by Laidlaw." Her letter states the company has been looking at expansion since 1988. Lemieux says the IWA should have taken a closer look at the property property and should have included Laidlaw's Laidlaw's plans as an alternative (as they did with the Keele Valley site for Metro Toronto.) "Since the IWA was clearly willing willing to consider Laidlaw's property as a possible candidate site, it would _ have been logical for the IWA to include include a third variation on the long list of candidate sites -- Laidlaw's proposed expansion. "It was unreasonable for the IWA not to consider such an alternative alternative candidate site," states the letter. letter. During the information-gathering in Step Six, the IWA was given information information regarding the company's expansion plans. "This information which was provided to the IWA in no way represents represents all the data collected since 1988 in connection with pur undertaking. undertaking. As the IWA omitted to include include Laidlaw's proposed expansion on the long list of candidate sites, Laidlaw's technical information has never been evaluated on its own merits. "This information was combined with the information collected by the IWA on the Stapleton property to determine whether Site KK2 should be the preferred site in the Region of Durham," says the letter. Next it says, "By omitting any consideration of Laidlaw's proposed expansion as an alternative candidate candidate site, the IWA has failed to evaluate evaluate an alternative that deals with the full potential of Laidlaw's property property as a regional landfill site." Laidlaw sees itself as part of the solution to the IWA's dilemma of where to put a dump in Durham Region. Region. As Ward Three Local Clarington Councillor Scott noted to The Statesman "Laidlaw still wants their main expansion, with all the bells and whistles." In fact, in the letter to IWA Chairman Pitman, Lemieux states: "Considering all the design enhancements enhancements the IWA intends to implement implement in the Region of Durham, Laidlaw's proposed expansion should have been identified as a candidate site. "The fact that the property is zoned agricultural and is privately owned are not complete road blocks to such an alternative. Otherwise, site KK2 would not have been included included on the short list of candidate sites." Lemieux says the objectives of the IWA are similar to those of Laidlaw. She mentions that 120 hectares hectares of the 165 owned by Laidlaw would be required for the proposed expansion. "The 48 hectare landfill footprint could accommodate approximately 7.2 million tonnes. The liner system would include a low permeability composite soil base and a synthetic liner. Leachate would be collected and pre-treated on-site then pumped via forcemain to the Graham Creek Water Pollution Control Plant." A reply from Mr. Norberg, the IWA's General Manager states that, without a doubt, the IWA will not be re-opening discussion concerning the site in Newtonville. "The IWA has engaged in exten sive public consultation at every step of the process," states Nor- berg's letter sent to both Laidlaw and Mayor Diane Hamre. "Your submission that the long list of candidate sites "should have included an alternative that only took into account Laidlaw's property" property" is now made some 21 months after after the announcement of the long list of candidate sites. "Not only is your submission a year and a half later than the first opportunity to provide it, but your expansion site would not have passed Step 3 of the IWA's process because only approximately 80 hectares hectares remain after applying the IWA's Steps 1 and 2 screening criteria criteria and Step 3 decision rules." Furthering the opinion of the IWA, Norberg wrote: "We believe that we have engaged in a reasonable, reasonable, fair and open process of site selection in Durham Region."
