Quarry dump plan is dead BY FRANCES NIBLOCK The Georgetown Gemini The million dollar fight against plans for a massive garbage dump in the Acton Quarry is officially dead. A clearly elated Halton Hills Mayor Marilyn Serjeantson confirmed the rumoured four-party deal at a press conference on Monday. The parties include the Town, Halton Region, Reclamation Systems Incorporated (RSI) and United Aggre- Raiders tie to end losing streak in pre-season action gates Limited (UAL). Although the minutes of settlement willnotbe released for several days, Serjeantson revealed that in return for RSI dropping the dump plans and placing a restriction on title to prevent a waste manage- ment or processing site from ever being established in the Acton Quarry, the Town will not try to recover any of the money it's spent during the decade-long fight against the dump and will not object toa proposed Niagara Escarp- ment Planning and Develop- ment Act amendment that would exempt UAL from needing a development per- mit to quarry in Phase II ofits operation on the south side of Regional Road 43. The deal also includes pro- visions for UAL, the Town and the Region to continue to work out a deal whereby the Town can purchase the . quarry for anominal fee once all the aggregate has been removed. A copy of a draft deal ob- tained by The Gemini indi- cates UAL will hire and pay for a planning consultant to prepare a master plan land use study to determine an ap- propriate end use of the quarry and develop a reha- bilitation plan. In an interview after the announcement was made public at the opening of the Town's General Committee meeting, UAL Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Bill Burkart, who brokered the deal, said that at first RSI was not in favour of dropping the dump plans. "St. Mary's Cement owns 50 per cent of UAL and 50 per cent of RSI and the other 50 per cent of RSI is owned by Armbro. The 50 per cent owner of UAL has decided that it's in the quarry busi- ness and not in the landfill business," Burkart explained. "They (St. Mary's Ce- ment) talked to their partners and RSI being Armbro, they recognized that fact too and CREASED HIM!
