banning of municipal solid waste incineration is supported by local environmentalists Haltons Planning and Public Works com mittee is of a different opinion Unconvinced incineration as a waste management initiative is a dead issue committee recom mended Wednesday a sym posium involving Halton and Peel be held to determine if the waste management process should be disallowed Incineration means burning garbage in high volume incinerators and using the generated heat as energy Local environmental group In cineration Counteracts the En vironment ICE was formed last June to pressure the provin cial government to impose a ban on municipal waste incineration The group believes incinerators emit dangerous toxins into the air Committees recommendation will go before Regional Council for final approval this Wednes day As part of Haltons approval to establish a landfill in Milton scheduled to open early the Region was ordered to in corporate an incineration compo nent as part of its waste manage ment strategy Committee members asked Regional Public Works Commis sioner Art Leitch if the order no longer applied in wake of the pro vinces decision Mr Leitch told committee members he is still waiting to hear from the province on the matter Following the meeting Mr Leitch said if Halton is prevented from using incineration Haltons landfill capacity life span would decrease from to 14 years Halton Hills Regional coun cillor Joe Hewitt questioned Mr on whether the ban applies to biomedical waste in cinerators The province is currently reviewing its position on this type of incinerator and at this time has yet to make a decision one way or another responded the Public Works Commissioner Coun Hewitt predicted if bio medical waste incinerators are banned hospital waste will end up in municipal landfills Expanding on this point Burl ington Regional councillor Barry suggested without in cineration cat and dog carcasses will end up in landfills instead of being burned as is the case now Burlington Regional Councillor Rob Forbes said the ban is just another example of Ontarios New Democratic Party govern ment operating by its own in dividual conscience instead of by the publics conscience Regional Councillor Janet Mitchell called the sym posium on incineration a good idea because if will clanfy the pros and cons of the process Say saw it in The Herald Business

Insurance David Page President of the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce and Janice Kouyoumilan Another similar session has been scheduled for the end of June and it will be held at Tuitmans Garden Centre located on Hwy ust south of Acton Herald photo Environment minister pledges to follow proper procedure Contd from Page to do that and I have never found the courts to be the best place in this province to make sound en vironmental decisions Grier said In the second place a minister of the Crown in any government who took that kind of arbitrary action might do it In your favour one time might do it against you the next time As Minister of the Environment of the Province of Ontario I have to obey the law The RSI proposal will be the first private sector landfill pro posal subjected to Ontarios En vironmental Assessment Act The fact that the quarry is on the Niagara Escarpment last year designated a United Nations Biosphere for its unique en vironmental and topographical features has thrown a wide spotlight on the situation Barbara president of POWER told the crowd that if RSIs application is eventually approved and because the escarpment is riddled with quar ries a hike on our international ly famous Bruce Trail could become a hike from one garbage dump to the next Local residents of the Town of Halton Hills are concerned because the dump which would be located south of Highway 25 could contaminate the water sup ply for people in Georgetown Acton and surroun ding areas The existing gravel quarry owned by United Aggregates Ltd already passes through the limestone aquifer The Ministry of the Environment has raised concerns about the possibility of polluted seepage from a dump saying that RSIs recently handedin proposal does not ade quately address the problem As well residents and the town say they cannot afford the exor bitantly expensive environmen tal assessment process which so far has cost taxpayers 550000 and which it is feared could end up costing millions of dollars more The garbage which would be dumped in the quarry would not come from Halton Region but from across Ontario Halton Region recently got its own future landfill site approved at environmental assessment hear ings after years and more than spent exporting its garbage to the US and looking for sites Grier drowned out at times by chanting told the crowd they will have more than ample time to comment on RSIs plans once they are released for public com ment They can appear at the hearing which residents and the municipality could have legal representation The demonstrators carried a 12474name peti tion against proceeding with the quarry dump which was later submitted in the Legislation by Halton North Noel Duignan Among the stunts the pro testors pulled to get media atten tion was POWER director Doug Young smashing a Rolex watch on the ground vowing it would not be repaired until RSIs plan was dumped and the introduction of local actress Lois posing as Truth
