Owner happy to see end of tire situation From Page 1 35,000 to 75,000 tires in the barn. "For five months neither the bylaw officer or the ministry could get rid of the tires," he said. A security guard was placed on the property by the Ministry of the Environment at a cost of $10,000 a month. Mr. Boehm said the guard was gone from the property on Thursday. Mr. Boehm spent a great deal of time trying to find ways to re- move the tires because he said he was afraid something would happen. But he said he had no controlover any of'it. "It wasn't fair, I was not re- sponsible for any of it, but I would have felt responsible if something had of happened," he added. Mr. Boehm said he doesn't feel he should have to apologize for the situation, but he is sorry ithappened. "There was nothing I could do about it, I am not guilty or at fault, and I hope the neighbors do not hold it against me," he said. "It is a sad day when property owners do not have as much say or as many rights as a tenant," he added. The tires have been shipped to New York State where a li- cenced establishment will recy- cle them, according to Mr Boehm. He said he could not dispose of the tires for the same cost in Ontario that he could in the United States. Environmental impact of proposed golf course has residents concerned J. Peter Hvidsten Port Perry Star About 20 residents of the Ridges Area Ratepayers Assoc- ration attended council Monday might to listen to a proposal to rezone lands on the Oak Ridges Moraine for an 18 hole golf course. Greg Pucovsky, a consulting engineer said they have looked into existing wells in the area, surveying within a mile of the proposed site. He said that the potential for any problems to existing wells in shallow aquifers would be minimal. Mr. Pucovsky informed council and the ratepayers the golf course would need about 200 gallons of water per minute to provide irrigation for the golf course. "We would have to prove we could pump the required water before getting approvals," he said. The water would be pumped into a large surface reservoir where 1t would be stored and then pumped out as needed. Richard Mutton, speaking on behalf of the Ridges Area Ratepayers said at first they were very pleased to hear Mr. Puckrin abandoning his recy- cling operation for a golf course. However, they discovered a golf course 1s not always environ- mentally friendly. He said they were concerned about an number of things including the quantity and quality of water. Mr. Mutton asked what con- trols are going to be put into place to monitor run-off water after pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals were sprayed on the course. He sited several natural habi- tats - mud lake, two streams, woodlots and asked to what ext- ent will the natural habitat be destroyed. He concluded saying they were not opposed to a golf course and if their concerns are answered, do not have an objec- tion to the proposal. Mr. Ronald Kanter, represent- ing Douglas Puckrin of Please Save and Recycle, said he agreed that the environmental concerns raised should be answered in regards to pes- ticides, herbicides, habitat and transportation and felt the con- cerns could be addressed. He said that every activity has risks, but we want to mini- mize them. Mr. Kanter asked council for an approval in principle for the rezoning with four conditions. These would be to respond to the MOH layer pertaining to sewage. Conduct an environ- mental impact statement. Respond to the concerns of Ministry of Natural Resources re - the buffering of mud lake and to conform with the Region of Durham official plan. Council deferred any action.
