wr T3-- Scugog Citizen - Tu >) V/ y 2. 17,1993 4 Lawyer raps IWA dump site selection A lawyer hired by anti-dump groups in Scugog Township says the Interim Waste Authority is taking a "huge gamble" with taxpayers money in its search for a major landfill in Durham Region. John Willms, an environmental law specialist with the Toronto firm Willms and Shier made the comments Saturday morning as he visited one of five sites in Scugog for some six million tonnes of Durham garbage. He has been retained by the citizens groups known as PEST and Zero Garbage to assist in the fight against a landfill on one of those five sites in Scugog The IWA will announce by the end of this month its "short list" of three or four sites in Durham and will narrow that to a final "preferred site" before next spring. The blunt-talking Mr. Willms said the IWA"s selection process for a dump "could be very vulnerable" in front of Environmental Assessment Board hearings because alternatives to landfills have not been examined. He referred to incineration and NOTICE REMOVAL Any vehicle parked on Township of Scugog roads or streets that interferes with snow removal, will be tagged and / or towed away at the owner's expense. - (SEE SECTION 8, SUBSECTION C, BY-LAW No. 32-88, TOWNSHIP of SCUGOG) R.C. MacDonald, Roads Superintendent TOWNSHIP of SCUGOG APPEARING THIS FARM IS A PROPOSED DUMP SITE Lawyer John Wilms (centre) with his daughter Joanna and members of P.E.S.T. Sandy Kelzebrink and Lisa Feasby, and Zero Garbage chairman Bill Lishman. Mr. Wilims visited one of the proposed dump sites In Scugog Saturday morning shipping garbage to places like Kirkland Lake or even the States as alternatives that have been ignored. "The IWA has taken a huge gamble with taxpayers money in not etedying these alternatives," he said Ontario Environment Minister Ruth Grier has ruled out incineration and export as a method of dealing with garbage. Mr. Willms said if one of the Scugog sites (three on Highway 12 south of Manchester and two on Highway 7A west of Blackstock) end up on the "short list" in a couple: of weeks, he will make submissions to the IWA why these sites are not suitable for landfill. He said the process will be assessed and arguments made - THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21st to the IWA that it would lose its case in an Environmental Assessment hearing. It's not known at this time whether one of the five Scugog sites will end up on the "short list." However, Zero Garbage president Bill Lishman said Saturday he suspects the sites on the "short list" will include one in Scugog, one in Pickering and one in Newcastle. Mr. Willms has been a lawyer for nearly 20 years, specializing in environmental, land use and municipal law He is currently representing York Region and East Gwillimbury in landfill cases Zero Garbage and PEST will be announcing fund-raising initiatives in the near future to come up with money to pay for the legal help.
