Investment Cot St Torontj Ontario To The Editor Dear Sir There have been a lot of statements and misstatements about the dilemma of Toronto garbage Toronto is not facing a crisis It is facing a catastrophe a cat strophe of if own making I first became interested in Toronto garbage problem In iB66when the National Press that Toronto s garbage was a ISO a year business I realised it wouldnt be long before some en tcr prising individual hit upon the idea of depositing Toronto garbage In the quarries on Ihe Escarpment At that time wrote letters to this effect to the national and local press I have copies of these letters Now that my fears may be realized I blame the shortsightedness of the ad ministration in Toronto and the provincial government the tact that they did not act to avert this problem falls squarely upon their shoulders Of course I realise there is no political gravy to be made from garbage and sewage one just ooesn t take local dignitaries and their ladies to opening of a garbage or sewage plant 1 Politicians notoriously take the cosy way out under the guise of saving the taxpayer money Dumping garbage on arable land or In quarries is a prime example and the stupidity of this act is quite evident today The prices meat and most foodstuffs is soaring yet we inundate arable land with garbage plaza s airports and housing developments The so do ride content of Lake Ontario Is rising alarmingly this is due to road salts in and residential water softeners Soon it Is possible the waters of the lake will be fain I able then the people of Hamilton and Burlington will us who live in the areas only find our waters have been polluted by seepage from garbage placed In gravel pits and quarries In recent press releases Mr James Minister of the Environment has made the following misstatements which are documented On January 30 he stated the Quarry site near Acton Ontario had been examined and met all the requirements of his ministry Tests ore now being performed at the site to to It b suitability On the of March Mr Paul Isles or the Ministry of the Environment Waste said the minister t mean what ihta letter implied of Anglo Recycling in a press release dated February 1973 stated in a letter to A M Campbell chairman Metro Toronto that bales composed of shredded and compacted garbage to be dumped into quarry near Acton would be innocuous and inert This was denied by Mr James In a letter to GUARD and was published in the Acton Free Press As the Chairman GUARD I feel that our organization had not protested both the site and the bales would have been approved and this site would have been used area and also regardless of the fact that shredded and baled garbage is not inert and in The plant in England which I am to tour shortly cost 10 000 pounds and from reports date every penny has been well spent One would have thought the government would learned a lesson from the problems of our British cousins who have 56 people crowded Into square miles while Ontario has proximately people In 412 square miles Yours sincerely William A Johnson Chairman GUARD In a recent statement to the Grocery Products of Canada the Minister Mr James Auld stated we cannot afford to put money into white elephants I modem plants that sort and dispose of municipal and Industrial waste This is a very short sighted view Other cities namely Franklin Ohio and London
