POWER 2 will fight on despite Duf ferin withdrawal A new environmental group that recently sprung up to fight Duf Aggregates proposal for a landfill in its landfill bordering Halton Hills and Milton will go on despite the company withdrawal of its proposal says group member Sheldon As long as there are quarries along the Niagara POWER 2 has a reason to exist said Ms Sheldon in an interview Thursday morning Protect Our Water Environmen tal Resources 2 set up a steering committee March and it established a mandate to actively oppose any source with the goal of putting a landfill in the said POWER 2 member Jean The mandate specifies any source said Ms Hilbom because the group wants to ensure no appli cant ever makes a proposal for a landfill at the site Aggregates withdrew its proposal Wednesday in a letter addressed to the Region because it didn t have local municipalities support But Ms Hilbom said the com could eventually sell the pro perty and nothing would stop the new owners from making a similar proposal Ms Sheldon fears if the Toronto garbage crisis worsens and I believe it will the province could expropriate the land and use it as a landfill garbage problem in Toronto eventually worsen said Ms Sheldon because Toronto has been dragging Its heels on reducing and recycling garbage The group has set its sights on fighting any further quarrying or landfills being established on any part of the protected area of the escarpment said Ms Sheldon Forcing the province to either establish a separate ministry to oversee the Niagara Escarpment Plan or have the plan placed under the jurisdiction of the ministry of the environment are two of the group priorities The ministry of municipal af fairs is currently responsible for enforcing the plan she said But Ms Sheldon argues the ministry of municipal affairs is the develop ment arm for the province Ms Hilbom said another part of the groups suggested mandate is to promote and foster community awareness about the serious im plications of a landfill at the ferin site and to further educate the public about the three recycling reduction and reuse POWER 2 shouldn be confused with POWER which was establish ed to fight the Reclamation Systems Incorporated RSI pro posal to use the Acton quarry for a landfill However there are people who are members of both groups said Ms Ms predicts the two groups will work together POWER has about SO members including residents from Milton those living in the area of 9 and Highway 25 and residents liv farther north said Ms Hilborn The group will hold a public meeting in
