If the project becomes too comâ€" plex and expensive, Pomeroy doubts it‘ll ever get beyond the It‘s still an open question whether the composting centre will ever be built, however. The cost estimates for it range from $10 milâ€" lion to $30 million. But the money is needed, he added, because, "we‘re putting together probably the most technoâ€" logically advanced proposal that‘s ever been put on the table at any council in Canada." Wednesday, Halton‘s planning and public works committee authoâ€" rized the extra payment to Proctor and Redfern. "I‘m not too pleased with the cost overrun," regional chairman Peter Pomeroy told the committee. April 21, 1993 By ROB KELLY Special to the Beaver The bill for preliminary engiâ€" neering specifications to be used by companies tendering to build a huge composting plant at Halton Region‘s landfill in Milton has leaped from $75,000 to $132,500. Landfill consultants cost region $132,500. A special committee of the whole meeting will be held in September to give council the opportuâ€" nity to examine the committee of council‘s findâ€" ings, with a view to including those findings in next year‘s budget deliberations. The committee would also examine the quesâ€" tion of minor sports grants, as well as user fees. The user fee report was adopted April 8th by the parks, culture and recreation advisory comâ€" mittee, and appeared headed for the community services committee April 27th and then on to Town council Monday night approved a recomâ€" mendation from Ward 2 councillor Kathy Graham asking that a committee of council be struck to examine the controversial issue of user fees for outdoor playing fields.

Price is not the only big quesâ€" tion in the current debate over comâ€" posting. Another major issue is control over the raw material â€" yard and food waste â€" that fuels the process. "If it‘s $200 a tonne, I don‘t think we‘ll build it," the regional chairman said. Pomeroy evaluates the project cost by how much Halton will have to charge to accept organic waste for composting. At the bargainâ€" basement end of the scale, the price could be $75 per tonne, half of Halton‘s fee to dump regular waste at the landfill. But at the upper end of current estimates the price could be $200 per tonne. planning stage.

The Ministry of the Environment has pressured Scott into downsizing his operation by no longer accepting food waste. Jim Scott, a Milton entrepreneur who until recently ran a pickâ€"yourâ€" own farm, has converted part of his property into an openâ€"air compostâ€" ing site. Equity Investments, a Woodbridge firm linked to an American comâ€" posting company, has announced plans to build a facility similar to Halton‘s within half a mile of the regional landfill. SHOP OAKVILLE A PROJECT OF TWil OAIVILLE CAmMBD® Of ComMDRCY THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Regional government in turn plans on spending approximately $200,000 more to evaluate them over the next four months. Bidders hoping to build Halton‘s composting plant have invested between $250,000 and $500,000 in preparing their documents, Pomeroy said. The regional chairman has conâ€" sistently stressed that he‘s open to private sector investment in Halton‘s proposal, but he‘s against seeing potential competitors skim away the most accessible compost sources, such as food store chains, while leaving Halton to underwrite the cost of curbside household compost collection. "If somebody wants to do it, they‘ve got to be prepared to do it all," he warned.
