4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, September 14,1994 Proposal to Move Garbage to Ohio by Rail Contingency Plan Suggested in Case I. W.A. Fails by Laura J. Richards A rail haul system which would transport garbage to the U.S. was introduced introduced to Clarington Council as the solution to the Toronto area's garbage crisis. The proposal tor getting rid of trash in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) was outlined by WMI- Waste Management of Canada Inc., in a meeting of Clarington Council Monday. "Metro Toronto approached us because they believe the Interim Waste Authority (IWA) may fail," said company representative, Robert Webb. "Metro wanted a contingency plan in case this happened," Webb added. The proposal would see GTA waste hauled 573 kilometres (355 miles) across the Canadian-United States border to a dump in Ohio. A total of 260 acres would accommodate accommodate 40 million metric tonnes of GTA waste over a 20-year The Statesman Proofreader's Words of the Week...j& ampersand - The character & meaning and. awash - Level with surface of water; carried or washed by the waves; flooded. time span. The garbage would be buried on a larger site covering 1,356 acres, Webb said. The time period could be lengthened lengthened if Metro's and other municipal recycling programs were continued and extended. An increased capacity would extend extend the life of the landfill, Webb noted. "For every tonne you don't put in, that's one less you pay for." The properly where the Metro Toronto waste would be dumped was a former strip mine. The Herrick Herrick Valley recycling and landfill facility facility is near Adena, Ohio, which is located 60 miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Looking at some of the environmental environmental issues that have been brought to the forefront with the IWA's investigation, Webb noted no underground water supply would be harmed by placing of a landfill in that location. He also said there arc no deep wells to be concerned with. To prove his point, Webb said, when the company drilled boreholes boreholes to find water, even at 320 feet down, no ground water filled the hole. If the IWA fails in meeting the deadlines set out by the province, rail haul is an alternative to look at Webb said. On this end of the process, garbage garbage would be collected in basically the same manner it is now. It would then be taken to a trans- The Canadian Statesman Carrier of the Week Brian Syer Route #3 and 5 Since March, 1993 This week's carrier will receive a FREE BURGER, FRIES, DRINK and an ICE CREAM TREAT compliments of DARI DREAM.

"WMI would construct necessary transfer stations, at their cost, for Peel, York, and Durham, while Metro's Metro's transfer sites would continue being used, 1 " weob said. Once the modules arrived at the site in Ohio, they would be unloaded unloaded one mile from the disposal cell. After the presentation and a video video entitled: "Partners for a Long Haul," Webb answered questions from the councillors and the mayor. First off the mark was Councillor Larry Hannah who wanted Webb to reiterate on the types of trucks to be used in collecting garbage at the local local level. He also discussed federal legislation and asked why the company company hasn't gone after garbage from New York City instead of Toronto. Residents Upset By Garbage and Construction Noise The Clarington By-law office will check into complaints about noise and garbage connected with construction at the Kaitlin Group's Aspen Springs development in Bowmanville. The site is located west of Martin Rd. and south of Highway Two. A letter from J.C. Stone to Clarington Clarington Council notes a number of problems, including noise and garbage garbage arising from construction in the new subdivision. Excessive noise, construction vehicles and garbage encompassed the majority of Stone's complaints to council. Slone also notes the issues have been raised with Kaitlin in the past, "but no improvement in the actions of workers are evident. As taxpayers, taxpayers, the people in this community deserve better and I would like to know what you as the town council will do about this matter." Clarington councillors are looking looking to the by-law department to review review the situation and report back. Breast Cancer Month in Oct. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Awareness Month in Clarington. A letter from Dr. RJ. Kyle, of the Durham Region Health Department, Department, says the month has been declared declared since 1987 in "response to the growing number of women's lives being lost due to breast can- 1 cer." "Breast Cancer Awareness Month, provides us with an opportunity opportunity to empower women of all ages, economic status and ethnocultural origin to take charge of their own breast health," Dr. Kyle says in his letter. New York City had been considered, considered, Webb noted. Councillor David Scott admitted the deal "sounds almost too good to be true." He noted Clarington has been an unwilling host for two different dumps and hoped the site picked by the company was a willing host. Webb said the company is providing providing jobs for the community near the location of the landfill. Councillor John O'Toole asked Webb if incineration is something the company is looking at, too. "We would like to build an incinerator incinerator in the GTA," Webb replied. But he noted incinerators are not in this provincial government's agenda. agenda. In wrapping up questions from councillors, Councillor Mary Novak was told garbage collected at this end, would only stay at a transfer station approximately 24 hours before before being moved on to the next part of the process.
