Land fill Hearing Recesses After Six Days of Sitting ang The second Environmental Hearing Board inquiry into the application of CP Rail to operate a sanitary landfill site in Hope Township to accom- modate garbage from Metro Toronto recessed on Friday, November 16th, under the threat of another lenghty legal delay. The recess was prompted by the demands from lawyer Ronald Slaught, representing the H.O.P.E. group, that CP Rail produce information con- cerning the leases and options on the land involved in the proposed landfill operation. D. S. Caverly, the chairman of the four-man hearing board, indicated he did not consider C.P. Rail's land agreements to be all that relevant to the board's inquiry. However, the HOPE lawyer said he would take the issue to the Supreme Court of Ontario if necessary after CP spokesman Erie Demonte refused to disclose his client's land agreements. Six Days of Testimony Friday's session marked the sixth day of sitting for the hearing board and testimony has been heard from many prominent political figures as well as environmental experts and representatives from Metro Toronto. The original hearing, held earlier this year, was adjourn- ed after a protest from a lawyer representing Texaco Canada, who have a gas station near the proposed site. The Texaco lawyer had arg- ued that the original hearing was invalid because one of the three members of the first hearing board had been absent for part of the testimony. Toronto in Poor Shape The new hearing in Port Hope heard testimony from Ian McKerracher, the director Mr. Ross Stonehouse to our first time substitute speaker - what a good one! Of the versatile Nancy Dickinson - no wonder Dr. O. B. Dickinson is proud of his niece and the best for her musical career ahead. A large 75th. Anniversary cake was eut and served. Mr. 0. J.

Many Witnesses of refuse disposal for the Metro Toronto works depart- ment, who stated on Novem- ber 8th, that Toronto will be in poor shape within a year without the proposed Hope Township site for CP's rail- haul scheme. Toronto's pres- ent landfill and incineration operations are fast approach- ing their capacities and the city will produce a garbage surplus of more than one million tons more than exist- ing facilities will be able to handle by 1977, MeKerracher said. He commented that recyc- ling programs should be investigated but added that "it (recycling) is a long way away." "If it is going to go, it will take several years," he said. "It is not an immediate solution to our garbage." An interesting aspect of McKerracher's testimony is that the previous hearing would not consider such data pertaining to either Toronto's need for the landfill site or alternative methods or places to dispose of the garbage. The broadened scope of the new hearing has been reflect- ed by the number of witnesses who have testified about alternatives to the landfill method of garbage disposal. For example, Peter Love, a representative of Pollution Probe in Toronto, told the hearing of various recycling and energy-producing garb- age programs being operated or established in several major cities throughout the world. Love noted that an Ameri- can firm named Black-Claw- son Fiberclaim Ltd. operate a successful recycling plant in Franklin, Ohio. He added that the Black-Clawson firm have indicated that they are pre- pared to build enough recyc- ling plants to handle all of Metro Toronto's garbage. The firm uses a "total recycling system", extracting glass and metals for recycling and burning the rest of the garbage to produce electricity. The Pollution Probe spokes- man also pointed out to the hearing board that the provin- cial government has recently approved a feasibility study to investigate the possibility of building such recycling plants in Toronto. Love concluded by urging the board to reject CP Rail's application. He stated, "It would be very poor planning if the government of Ontario approves long-term landfill sites while, at the same time, recycling propos- als were being made and new recycling systems developed." Says Landfill Threatens Water Various environmental ex- perts have testified at the hearing and most have con- demned the porposed landfill operation for one reason or another. Dr. William Gaby, an Amer- ican professor of health sci- ences, testified on November 15th. that potentially danger- ous bacteria in operations such as the one proposed for Hope Township, pose long- term threats of general con- tamination and pollution of water. He told the hearing that raw domestic garbage is more dangerous than sewage. "The public doesn't realize that raw garbage is very, very contam- inating," he said. Professor Gaby added that in all studies of landfill sites pollution has been found. He explained that the soil under a landfill site will act as a natural filter but warned that it will eventually lose its filtering properties. "In all instances I have seen, the ground waters have become contaminated by the leachate," he said. CP Rai1 consultant J. P. Nunan was required by the hearing board to name alter- native locations considered by CP Rail as possible sites for their rail-haul landfill scheme. These included the St. Law- rence Cement quarry outside Colborne, a site north of Mosport and four locations in Wentworth County, including the controversial site in Minto Township, near Harriston. Nunan added that the Hope Twp. location was first con- sidered in September, 1972, and was found to be more satisfactory for landfill than the Minto Twp. site. Nunan 'is a Hydrologist consultant hired by CP Rail and he. is the man largely responsible for the selection of the possible sites. He has continued to reiterate his conviction that the landf il will not be a physical nuisance and is unlikely to pollute surround- ing ground waters. The various politicians who have appeared at the hear- ings, although not all have testified, include MP Allan Lawrence and MPP Alex Carruthers, as well as provin- cial NDP leader Stephen Lewis and provincial Liberal MPP Donald Deacon. All have expressed their opposition to the proposal. The hçaring is expected to reconvene on Wednesday, November 21st., and chair- man D. S. Caverly has expressed his hopes that the inquiry will be able to con- clude at that time. However, if HOPE lawyer Slaught presses his demand for CP to reveal their land agreements, the issue may end up in the Ontario Supreme Court. In that case the hearing dould be delayed for weeks, possibly even months.
