2006 Director of Protect Our Water and Environmental Resources POWER Doug Young con fronted Region s Planning and Public Works Committee Wednesday by asking committee members to imagine the year 2006 and the headlines read Leachate is in the Water He ex plained if this were to occur Halton Region would have a million problem to deal with He said the time to start protecting our water is now Mr Youngs concerns were regarding a recent application by Reclamations Systems RSI to build a landfill site in the Acton quarry He asked that the region exercise their right to pro hibit the use of land for waste Mr Young explained POWER wants this lion by RSI denied before it goes to a council meeting which he said would only waste time and taxpayers money He said we start looking at water as a resource that in other countries water can cost up to per litre because of its scarcity He went on to add there are no guarantees a landfill site will not leach and that the quarry site has severe cracking in its foundation which would make it that much more dangerous He said it is the region s responsibility to supply water to the different municipalities and taxpayers have a right to bring their con about this matter before the region While committee members seemed to agree that such a pro ject would be dangerous for Halton Hiits the main question raised was does the region have the ability to prohibit such a pro ject beore it is approved or disap proved by the Ministry of the En The committee pass a recommendation to evaluate this ability Currently the ap plication by RSI is being review by Minister Ruth Gear Burlington Councillor Pat McLaughlin stated now is the time to take a firm stand on this proposal because the dangers are too great A similar opinion was held by Councillor Fred Oliver who said the Region need to be proactive rather than reactive 1 m reasonably pleased with the outcome today said Mr Young who stated that enough evidence was given to show the application by RSI should be denied They Region have control to change this We are going to raise a lot of noise his month and do everything in our power to stop this project Buying or Selling List
