the HERALD Report condemned as proabortion HomfNrwiDaonrnl Hal ton Hills Established Home Newspaper of Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Street n Ontario and General Manager Advertising Phone 877 Page Wednesday Not in the clear As Herald reporter Am Pedenan states no longer will Hills be standing on the sidelines when it comes to choosing a new dump site for Halton Region Residents will have to stand up for their side in a coming battle against a landfill site in a quarry near Acton News broke late last week that a Toronto firm has been studying a acre piece of land at RR4 Acton The firm called Shieldings wants to convert methane into electrical energy to be sold to Ontario Hydro This bombshell was released after Burlington and Milton had been chosen as the two top candidate sites for a new dump required by Region and Halton Hills were considered to be the clear As lawyers for he two proposed dump prepared their cases for an environmental assessment hearing weve been watching almost oblivious to the whole pro cedureWeve now learned that no municipality is free from having a new landfill in its borders under the process But are people overreacting to the hour news that a third candidate site may be a possibility We think not Although ail the information is not clear on the intentions of Shieldings their plans may be exploited by lawyers representing the citizen of Burlington and Milton We ve heard one Burlington solicitor say the Region seems to have overlooked the Acton bite There is a possibility that Milton or Burlington may ask the Toronto firm to enter a bid as a sound alternative to the site selection to the south At the least a Shieldings involvement in the en vironmental hearings could delay the sue selection pro cess further and give the two candidate communities a breather There is cause for hope nonetheless There are reported problems with the Acton quarry site because of and findings Much of the community of Halton Hills depends on could possibly be con tarn by leikmg ol from the dump Shieldings spokesmen have also commented that their proposal is not meant as an alternative to the Burlington and Milton landfill proposals So far Halton Hills has been spared the costly battles it takes to oppose the selection of a landfill site Milton has spent in it s fight against those who want a dump in its backyard For Halton Hills it not a time to panic It time to be prepared for events still to come Scouting fever Catch the scouting fever Theres a lot of spirit among the hundreds of boys and girls and
