Serve HaltonPeel Consider acre dump near Hornby Halton and Peel Regional Councils are investigating the possibility of operating one giant landfill site that would garbage from all of Peel and Regions The site proposed is in the Hornby area south of way and straddling the border between and Peel Last week both councils passed resolutions directing staff and consultants to in vest gate the feasibility of the scheme Until that turn of events last week bad unofficially favored a site In the centre of the region near Britannia and Rd south west of urban Milton Got together Meanwhile Peel Region was also looking at a site near the middle of its region Regional Chairman Allan Masson told a press conference last week that the idea for a shared site came about after he and Public Works Chairman Jack met and discussed the problem with their counter parts in Peel That meeting took part when the parties involved were attending an planning seminar According to Mr Masson the idea makes good sense at a first glance He said the shared site could be operated by one staff and one set of machinery and eventually one resource centre could be established there for the two regions When the province first indicated a move towards resource recovery it said It Hornby to fight site A dramatic change in thinking of Regional Councillors that seems to have elevated the Hornby area as a favored locale for the massive landfill site has disturbed residents in that area Last week the possibility of a massive acre site serving Halton and Peel was announced That site is designated as an agricultural area straddling the Peel border of Highway Both Regional Councils have agreed to investigate the likelihood of such a site That investigation is now underway andwill take about six weeks Meanwhile invest igations at other sites In the region are being carried out concurrently Ugly view Milton Councillor and a Hornby area resident Don Gordon said that the site would provide an ugly view for people as they enter region He points out the site would be situated under the pro posed hydro line and it is in the I m sure the province t want loo many people working under the proposed hydro line he said Gordon recalled that earlier reports suggested the site was one of most expensive to develop once the existing artesian wells were taken into era lion He predicted that the people in that area would be prepared to put up Ihe same sort of strong fight and repre sentation that the people in Ihe area had put up Nancy Kce a resident living Just south of the pro posed site said she thought the idea was dreadful Just terrible the whole Idea of burying garbage Is so arch There are places in the United States and Canada where refuse Is disposed of right In the cities and no one is aware of sight or smell she said Meanwhile some residents in the TremaineBritanma area are hesitant about organizing any celebration concerning own fate We see it as a smokescreen and we won be letting up our fight one resident said Salary cut goes by the board Even though it had voted earlier to support a 10 per cent reduction in salary for its members Halton Regional Council a bylaw that would have the cut at a meeting Wednesday For months now have preached restraint The most often uttered phrase by politicians at the regional minis year of restraint The message during the region council meeting Wednesday was that restraint or no restraint salary reduc lion is a no go deal for the councillors Budget meeting held recently stressed the light money situation and in fact even Wednesday meeting featured endless rhetoric about economic restraint Typical The by law was reiected on an 11 vote Council s action Wednesday is typical of the unpredictable style that has marked council since its inception Council had passed a resolution in January calling for the preparation of the by law Usually once a resolution is passed indicating council intent the passing of a by law t formality Sun bathers on Saturday were caught short Sunday by cool temperatures and a brisk breeze She noted February and March were the months many councillors used for winter holidays and southern trips As the by law affected all councillors it should be voted upon when all members could be in attendance she said Wednesday meeting was held with three members absent Two of them had favored the reduction Mary Munro who also favored the reduction was unable to vote as it was her turn to serve as chairman of the committee of the whole session With the exception of a few regional councillors have full time jobs outside of the interests now Councillors receive each for service at the regional level as well as vary degrees of payment at the area level That ranges from a low of 4 per year in and Milton to BOO in Burlington Hills councillors receive 400 Burlington Mayor George Harrington earns as Mayor and as a regional councillor and drives a cityowned Chrysler He is the only mayor in the region who has a municipally owned car at his disposal Mayor Harrington was one of the opponents of the lion I don know about the rest of you but 1 can afford The by lav was rejected with next to no discussion during Wednesday meeting A request for a recorded on the matter was deemed out order as the matter was considered to be finished once it was defeated on first reading By laws have to be read times before I hey become law would help fund one for the two regions The regions said that would be unworkable and convinced the province to authorize studies for a plant In each region If the shared site is developed it would almost certainly lead to one resource recovery plant as well Both regions arc under heavy pressure to provide a landfill site or sites and quickly s will be filled to capacity by the middle of next summer According to one spokesman from Ihe Peel clerk s office the need is for site yesterday Meeting only one day after the meeting the Peel Council passed a resolution indicating full cooperation in the in vesligation of a Joint site According to the official Peel sites are overflowing now Sites there ore being filled to higher elevations and 1 sites are over capacity It a joint site is proceeded with it will be in the order of 1 acres three times the size of what was looking at for its own needs During the debate at s council meeting Councillor Jim Watson said the overall idea made sense and he favored it in a way but isn I this the site I hat had the under ground river running through it when tht experts were for the ile Public Works Chairman said the worth of studies commissioned earlier on four would I think is wist to continue that study Wc could get held up on the other Works committee Councillor Brown said would be important to have the on other sites is well Ik want dii study until the other was completed The M Dillon consul s report outlines diffi cullies with Hornby site Consultants suggest ex pen sivt engineering might be necessary to protect the area from groundwater pollution On the other hand the larger site if accepted would make it possible consider innovations like developing Ihe site into a ski The Acton Free Press Wed
