Although Industry Canada has the final approval and licensing control of telecommunication tow- ers, limiting the Town's powers over the towers, proponents must consult with local municipali- ties to deal with any environmental, aesthetic, Lewis warns of impact on residents Halton's request to spread biosolids -- stabilized organic waste, also known as sewer sludge, from its wastewater treatment process -- on parts of the Trafalgar Sports Park is on hold until Town council- lors get s nswer: site, to sign applications with the Ministry of Environment before the biosolids can be spread as fertilizer on parts of the park where Limehouse farmers, Anthony Acres, are currently growing crops. Ward Two Councillor Bry- an Lewis, who said Halton mistakenly spread biosolids on a tile drained field next to his Sixth Line property, warned of the impact on the Civic Centre, a hospital, a seniors' centre and school. "You will smell it here," Lewis said in the council chambers last Monday night, acknowledging that Halton's 25-year-old biosolids recy- cling program is seen as a "Cadillac" operation. He said farmers "love to have this (biosolids) on their land use or health and safety concerns. Design guidelines in the Town's protocol are intended to try to blend the towers with the-sur- rounding community to minimize their visual impact, which according to Ward Two Councillor Joan Robson are a "blight on our countryside" and "visually contaminate," it. Robson asked if so-called "stealth" towers made to look like trees are used in Canada, but staff said their cost is prohibitive. The Town's draft protocol allows for municipal and public input for major and minor propos- als, as defined by the protocol, with a system for notification of applications within specified distances in urban and rural areas. Staff will incorporate comments and questions from the open house and agency and inter-depart- ment comments ina report to Council before the end of the year. Staff said there have been approximately eight towers built in Halton Hills since the early 1990s, most of them in rural areas. field," as a no-cost high qual- ity fertilizer, but residents have concerns about down- wind smells and impacts on water and traffic.
