GRANBY Continued from pg 3 was related to the upgrading of Elliott Road. Rather than be responsible for half of a government sponsored fencing project, Tisnovsky installed electric fencing along the common property line, and as far as she is concerned, the matter is finished. Mahoney stated. "We are about to embark on eight years of working with our friends in the federal government on this project, this is just the start," he said. When Kevin McDonald, Section Head for Complaints Resolution began explaining how complaints related to the project would be handled, Mahoney asked why SECRA were not involved in the creation of the dispute resolution mechanism. According to Mahoney, the residents association had been assured on numerous occasions that they would have some say in the how problems between the community and the project would be dealt with. Janice Szwarz the municipality's project coordinator on the Port Granby file corroborated Mahoney's understanding of the issue. According to the Guiding Principles in the Environmental Assessment Study Report which the federal government agencies agree can be used as a reference document, members of the directly effected neighbourhood will be afforded the opportunity to participate in the design and delivery of the socio-economic mitigation measures and ongoing problem solving. Mahoney told The Times he could see an attempt by the project team to ignore the community's involvement in the dispute resolution process. "We are going to stick to the plan," he stated. Fahey agreed to Mahoney's request to have another community meeting in November to deal with the issue of mitigation measures and the community's involvement in dispute resolution Catherine Jefferson, Senior Environmental Specialist presented a report on the continuous dust monitoring on the site which, despite narrow confines of the road construction site, showed that at no time did the dust exceed the allowable limits. She also reported on the continuous noise monitoring which indicated one occasion where the noise on site spiked, surpassing the allowable decibel level. Jefferson explained this could have been due to some heavy machinery moving on site when the reading was taken. There was a comment made from the group that noise readings averaged over an hour was not giving a true picture of the noise level. Project Director Dave Smith reported that their independent review of the proposed industrial wind turbine for lands adjoining the project site revealed the turbines would have no impact on their ability to control and manage dust on the site. The next community meeting will be held on Wednesday November 28th at the Newtonville Community Hall.
