He said Halton‘s own servicing guidelines limit the use of holding tanks to circumstances where municipal sysâ€" tems will be available within two years. He acknowledged he was recomâ€" mending the move despite information Dr. Nosal said he was comfortable with his recommendations since the Ministry of Environment and Energy guidelines recommend the use of holdâ€" ing tanks as a temporary use when municipal utilities will be available ""within a reasonable amount of time". However, regional health commisâ€" sioner Bob Nosal said his department was prepared to recommend approval if several conditions are met. Most imporâ€" tantly, sewage and water holding tanks would have to be installed to ensure sufâ€" ficient servicing for the site, he said.

Committee members agreed a twoâ€" week deferral was needed to allow negoâ€" tiations between the groups before the region makes its decision on the request. The proposal calls for construction of a Sikh temple to accommodate a congreâ€" gation of between 150 and 200 people, according to a report from the region‘s health department.

Residents are fearful of possible conâ€" tamination to their drinking water from sewage spills, as well as, a depletion of their well water because of use on the temple site. Diana Lindner â€" a spokesperson for a group of 10 families living near the site â€" said Roshan‘s consultant wasn‘t permitâ€" ted on their properties because he failed to address residents‘ concerns over liaâ€" bility. His organization even hired a consulâ€" tant to test neighbors‘ wells to determine possible effects the temple would have on water levels, he added. However, "the neighbors wouldn‘t let us on their property even though it was to their benefit. We didn‘t get the type of cooperation we were looking for." "Estimated use of well water, if any, will be less than that needed for a single family living on the property," he He said water for drinking and cookâ€" ing will be brought to the temple and rainwater would be stored and used for toilet flushing, to curb any possible effects on neighbors‘ wells.
