A technicality has resulted in the adjournrnent of an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing which last week was hearing evidence from the proponent and those objecting to property being used in the Kendal area for a gas station. Mario Veltri has received approval for a rezoning of lands at the corner of Regional Roads 9 and 18 in the north-east corner of Kendal. The ruling by the Town was objected to by Save The Ganaraska Again group and individual citizens in the area. These objections had been lodged with the Ontario Municipal Board who started hearings last Thursday in Bowmanville. SAGA and individuals have objected to the gas station being built which could have adverse effects on the headwaters of the Ganaraska and the possibility of a spill or leak that could enter a tributary of the river. Veltri had originally proposed the corner lot house both a gas station and a restaurant but later altered the application applying only for a gas station. rhe web of controversy continues to thicken and spread over the future of garbage disposal in the Region of Durham. Last week John Aker, chairman of the Regional Waste Réduction cornrittee said the Regions $20, million waste reserve fund is almost gone and that the Region will be in a deficit position in 1992 as to garbage disposai and recycling. Aker told Regional council that the Region will have to spend millions of dollars over the next couple of years for a temporary solution for the garbage crisis. The provi ncial rninister of dhe environment, Ruth Grier, has toid Durham they will have to build a transfer 'station to be used to ship Durham's garbage to the York Region Keele Valley landfill site. This is to happen when the Metro Brock West site closes in 1992 which is now used by the municipalities in Durham. It has been estimated that the On Thursday of last week the 0MB opened its hearing on the application receiving comments both from the propoinent and from those objecting.* The hearing was adjourned to Fr iday when SAGA presented information that the land could not be owned by Mario Veltri as the former owner had applied in 1986 and had receîved a severance from his farm property for a retirernent home.--The Regional Land Division approval required that the lands not (Continued page 2) A-f-urth entry for Mayor Word has it late Tuesday afternoon that a M.

The cost of using the Keele site has been set at $150 per tonne comparing with a cost of $32 a tonne now pald for the use of the Brock West site. Durham does pay Metro $150. per tonne for use of the Brock West site but does receive a rebate that pulls the costs down to $32. per tonne. Gary Herrema, regional chairman, has stated that there is no way that Durham can have a transfer station ready for 1992 and that the date would have to be put off until mid 1993 at least. He said the Brock West dump will have to continue operation into 1993. There is also the question that a transfer station could be built at the Brock West landfill site.
