could slope the sides and have a nice lake Mr was on hand to detail the current operations in the quarry which Is proposed for a landfill site once the rest of the rock Is extracted In about three years Once the current quarry is finish ed United Aggregates will extract about GO million tonnes of rock about two million tonnes a year from property across the road on land just to the south of the current quarry said Mr Asked if United Aggregates took over commitments made by the former owners Indusmin to per form rehabilitation plans Mr said he t know anything about rehabilitation plans when United Ag gregntcs took over burned most of their files he said It wasn t a smooth transition that for sure Residents were also given a detail explanation of how the quarry will be cleared out and turned Into a landfill site Michael Pull en of Consultants Marshall M add In Monaghan said the site will be built in three overlap ping cells The first phase will be to 100 feel deep and once it finished it will be graded and seeded Second and third phases will gradually overlap the previous cells finishing with a one per cent grade sloping one metre for every 100 During the operation of the landfill which will be open from Sam to p dally and possibly a half day on Saturday the refuse will be covered with a layer of soil each day A three metre thick confining wall will be built just slightly ahead of the refuse pile up against the quarry wall to separate the landfill site from the fractured rock Between the confining wall and the quarry wall a gravel wall will be built to allow water flowing through the rocks to funnel down to the not torn of the quarry where it can be drained off A series of trenches and pipes will collect leachale the poisonous quid produced when rainwater per col ales through the refuse which will be kept separate from ground Both will be pumped back into Black Creek The leachale will first be treated to bring It to within government standards Mr also discussed transportation problems ding operation of Trucking refuse in from all over Southern Ontario would increase truck traffic on Halton Hills already heavily travelled truck routes but a rail line which runs through the site may not be the best alternative he Bringing garbage in by rail is not commonly done because of the extra step necessary lo unload the cars and bring the garbage to the face of the dump he said The hearings continue on Aug with a discussion of detailed hydrology at the quarry The meeting will take place at the Gordon Memorial Arena meeting room at Georgetown resident
