at this time on the preferred alternative the twin of the Silver Creek Trunk Sewer The two indicate the preferred alternative now being studies would be environmentally friendly because the new sewer line would pass through Class Provincially significant wetlands They also point out in the letter that twinning the trunk sewer would require that two dormant landfills be dug up The contents of the two landfills could end up entering Silver Creek they say Mr said if the ad ditional money receives council approval and the environmental study report can be completed all concerns raised by local residents and commenting will be investigated Mr said the final results of the environmental study report may show the of the Silver Creek trunk sewer should be rejected and another design approved Ms King and Ms prefer the Region build the new trunk sewer through Georgetown South ending up at Main Street thereby avoiding the Silver Creek Valley They point out in their let this is the design alternative the Region s Ecological and En Advisory Commit tee recommends Mr Robertshaw acknowledged the Maui Street alternative is en sound At the same time the twinning option has so far proven to be en sound as long as certain technical procedures are followed leading up to and during the construction period He also pointed out that the twinning option is million cheaper than the Main Street op tion In determining the en vironmental impact costs should not be ignored explained Mr Robertshaw The engineer said the Main Street option could have un forseeable costs He explained that it is controlled by a pumping station In the case of an area power failure the station could be damaged resulting in unex pected costs he said Ms King and Ms ob ject to the Region hiring Toronto- based consulting firm Marshall Macklin Monaghan to complete the environmental study report on the twinning design option It was this firm that has so far recommended the Region ap prove the twinning design However it was also this same consultant firm that didn t discover the existence of two dor landfill sites until it was pointed out to them by local residents dunng a public meeting on the project last fall The com had been working on the project for over a year before then Ms King and Ms Ranson write We believe that the op portunity is being created to justify a preferred alternative identified by the consultant tually at the outset of the study Mr Robertshaw conceded he was a bit surprised that the consultants hadn discovered the dormant landfills until the public meeting Asked if the Region discussed dismissing the consul for not discovering the land Till Mr Robertshaw said it was an issue But in the end Region staff decided the company was fully qualified to carry out the re maining work he said In their letter Ms King and Ms also raised concern that the Region should look at the cumulative impact of the twinn ing project and several other pro jects proposed for the Silver Creek Valley According to Mr Robertshaw the Region is correctly following provincial guidelines in deter mining the environmental impact of each of the Silver Creek Valley projects The Region is perform ing Environmental studies on each of the projects he said The province doesn t require the Region to carry a comprehensive environmental cumulative pact study on all of the projects he explained Mr did say the Region has informed all com menting agencies involved to consider the other projects in the Silver Creek Valley when com on any individual one He went on to say the province is monitoring the process the Region is following with respect to all projects ongoing in the valley IO FREE CR0SSWAYS DONUTS 348Gtipht Mostly Bath Bad and Table Linens 246 Main Street East I MILTON
