Niagara a regional govern may be heading cast much to a delight Coun Miller told The Herald Monday Representatives from Niagara public works department visited s solid waste management sub committee Friday bringing along a proposal which would sec combustible garbage trucked off to to fuel the Ontario Paper Company a steam generators Fitting nicely into the region own long range goals to see more garbage turned Into useful energy Niagara still sketchy plans Impressed Miller excited about It I think it the best things that happened in solid waste management in a number of years he said We re into something that could be very big for very big As garbage dump rapidly nears Its capacity and the likelihood of a new landfill site In Milton Site is questionable regional officials are only too happy to hear about new proposals which will help rid the region of Its garbage headache Using garbage as an energy source or refuse derived fuel RDF is about the most promising solution However Miller point out It takes a lot of burnable garbageeven more than Halton can produce to keep a large Industry fueled each day We haven got the market for RDF yet he said and you t build an Incine rator unless got the But Niagara is fortunate enough to have an Industry which can use garbage as fuel Moreover Ontario Paper NOW THATS INFLATION Talk about stretching your dollar viluel Teller and

Tor the mill Niagara will likely have to encourage neighboring regions to ship their burnable wastes from various collection separation and transfer sites Norfolk and Niagara region are welcome fuel suppliers but to meet the mill estimated tons per day appetite Niagara may have to shop south of the border for garbage While the solid waste sub committee is excited about the proposal Its optimism Is couched In caution Some of the costs Coun Miller pointed out may put the plan out of grasp We re Just scraping the surface of the proposal now he said Further study will have to be done by planning and public works committee It is likely that If Niagara proposal survives provincial government scrutiny and manages to pick up some tax dollar support and other regions which want to participate In the project will have to make some kind of capital contribution Town council declines aid request for Acton Optimists financial woes Town council has decided not to help the Acton Optimist Club recover a bank overdraft by giving the organ zatlon a special one time only grant to pay for the rental of the Acton Arena during a dance and Monte Carlo Night June The decision reached at council
