~heCandia Satiem nBowmanville, -May 16, 1973 MR. R. 4 Bowmianv7ille, Ont, Dear Editor, Durham County Federation af 'Agic-ulture ,bas received iniformation that the Ministry ol théenvrnetfor the Province of Ontario intends ta proceed with a hearing on the application of CP Rail ta0 establish a sanitary landiil] site in Hope Township for Metro garbage. These hear- ings are scheduled to begin the week ot June llth. Throughi your newspaper wve would li-ke ta take the oppor- t'unity !0oouthlne the policy af the Federatýion regarding this proposed site and any other sites which the Govermenit might allow in Durhami Coun- ty or tLhe province ai' Ontario. We intend to write govern- ment leaders stating our, opposition toa any inf site COUNT INEri FUE TU RES ON YOUR 1w h ,ekwt, v.o e SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR CASH- SALES BOùeCK'eS BP SALES & SERVICE -We Service What W-- Seli" Phone 6358 E Kng St. E., Bowmanville andt particuiarly the 'proposed site in Hope Township. A briel wiil also be presented at the hearing ta be held in Hope Township inJune., 1 Despite the iii feeling gen- erated by Iandfiii and incm- eration methods, despite their inadequacies, Mtro bullishly plans ta stake its future in burning and burying. Metro is nat' alone. Many other com- munities around Otaria are encountering difficuiltyý in dis- posing af their garbage and bave heen enicouraged tai follow suit. They must nat bev aliowed ta make long-term- cammitments ta such outdat- ed disposai metbods and1 shauld be pressured into considering the oniy feasible alternatives - the reduction and recyciing ai garbage. Seriaus consideration must be given ta proposais from the two private firms, Angia-Can- adian Pulp and Paper Milîs Ltd. and Black-Ciawson Ltd. Bath campanies have expres- sed interest in building recyc- ling plants in Metro at no capital cost ta the taxpayer. The Black-Clawson com- pany's plant could veriy well handie al ai Metro's garhage., The campany is aiready operating a successiui pilot recyciing plant in Franklin, Ohiao. Perhaps Metro -or the Province ai Ontario should build its own plant and not wait'for private industry ta make a profit from aur throwaways. Recently, a hearing was conducted by the Ministry ai the Enviroament in Pickering regarding the, application by Metra ta estahhish landfilii sites in that township. Thou-> sands ai dollars are heing literally wasted at these hearings. If gavernment al- laws these hearings ta con- tinue mucbh more money ai the ordinary\ persan will be wast- ed. The hiring ai lawyers and having witniesses attend these hearings is expensive. There is sometbing wrongr with aur society if protebting is ta be tbe principle cri teria ta be folowed before govern- ment wîll recagnize that there are ýalternatives Ita landfill1 sites for disposing i gar:bage.

If the proposai ta establish a site i Hope is defeated will the Govn7(imenit allow Metro ta oveta another area an-d start these ridicuilous prace(dure(,s over again9 Whîle no officiaI application hâý,s been made ta Hope Townlship flor the eýstablish- ment ai this site. and thus no officiaistanid lbas been tCakeni by council it is aur under- standing that the majority ai the council do niot support this proposai. If t he Ministry ai the Envranentwas ta approve this application and CP Raifl increased their initial offer ta Hope Township wie would hopeý that the township would not change their stand and have the land presently zoned agriculturte rezoned indus trial. Recenitily Hope had an official plani approved by thie Ont1aria uicplBoard. Wiewe recaýgniize thjat an official plan is not bDindin)g on federal and provincial agen-' cies will the Ontario Municipal Board overrule the decision aif Hope Towniship not ta rezane the are-ia and allow the site. If so, the vaýlue of having an officiai plan becomes very questionabie. During the pas: few years the goverament has insisted that townshiýpsý, have an officiai plan. Regardless ai assuranices by CP Rail we feel that landfill areas wilI become unattrac- tive during the time ai filling. Adjacent land wili be devai- udby the proximhity ai the dump. There are a number ai streams in the proposed site, aind no matter whati5rcd ures are iollowed thlere is alwaiys adaniger ai them In closing wewoldsay that it is aur belief that the Ontaria Governimenit must accept the responsibilityý for the establisbmient ai recyc ling plants ta look after týhe neeýds ai Metro and ather muntiicipal- iiies that are encountering the problem af disposing of gar- bagec. We see no reason ta continume the, outdated meaýns ai dispasing af garbage im landfill sites.

Ross Strike, Hi,,gh Water Tables Causing Problems For Many Farmers As homeowners with wet basemients realized this year, water tables in March reached near -record high levels across the province. According to H. R. Whiteley, water resource engineer with the School of E ngineering, Ontario Agricul- tural College, the last time water tables were this high was in 1969. The probiems are particu- larlyv obvious in ýnormally dry rural areas, where depres- sions are holding standing' wvater for the first time in many yvears. In many cases water collected in these dep- ressions as a resuit of exces- sive rain falling on frozen ground early in March. The Mrs. Vera Hobbs, co-ordinator af the general appeal, Salva- tion Army Captain Scott Hewlett, Mayor Ivan Hobbs, Bill Wilson, chairman af the., in6ustrial appeal and Mac MacKenzie, the campaign treasurer. Dr. H. B. Rund]e, the caýmpaign chairmani, was un-ableta , be present for the photogra ph. water wili disappear, but it wili take time. Farmers who may be con- sidering drainage for these depre-ssions should balance the cost ai the tule installations against the inlrequency ai this year's probiem. Cost ai tile, equipment rentai, and labor muibe considered, This is also a good time for prospective bouse builders ta check their lots for passible wet basement probiems. Pro- fessor Whiteley suggests that it may be advisabie ta build a hause without a basement rathfer than ta battle the damaging, but infrequent epi- sodes aifiooding, resuiting irom high water tables. Prospective home buyers should check the basement keeping in mind this year's problems. Homeowners who had probiems with wet base- ments should check drains and dlean out any obstructing materials. Weeping tules con- nected ta 'a storm sewer systemn should provide ade- quate drainage araund mast bonies. 3~~S BGDY0F su 1%R1S'AVINGS POLYESTER/CTTO V TANK Tp A.
