( I / Rotary Learns About Garbage Problems Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, March 9. 1988 Retiring Directors Honored by Colleagues Landfill sites have been the topic of much discussion in the Region and around the province. They were also the subject of the Bowmanville Rotary Club's guest speaker. Don Tefft, regional landfill manager of Laidlaw Waste Systems, brought some frightening information about the Region's future garbage garbage crisis to the Rotarians. He advised that the problem won't go away and the Region is going to have to tackle the garbage crisis now. Mr. Tefft (left) is thanked by Rotarian Don Welsh. by Gretchen Ballantyne By 1990 the Town of Newcastle may not have anywhere to put its garbage., This isn't .new information information for anyone who has had an ear tuned to the media or, local politicians over the past few months. However, most of the reports reports have been about the problems rather than the solutions. solutions. Last Thursday, March 3, the Bowmanville Rotary Club was given the opportunity to hear one voice oiler a plausible answer answer to the Region's waste crisis. 3yst 20 ; wants to expand its ÜU acre landfill site in southeastern Newcastle to 120 acres, thus 1 becoming the new home of 96 per cent of Durham's waste for the next 25 years. Don Tefft, Laidlaw regional regional landfill manager, explained explained to the Rotary Club on March 3, that Newcastle is quickly running out of dumps. "You once had Darlington Landfill to the south, but all that is there now is the temporary temporary transfer station, soon to be phased out. You have Brock West in Pickering. It' will be filled in 1990. You have the Laidlaw site in' Newtonville. Those 20 acres will have reached their capacity capacity in one year. You are then left with nothing," Mr. Tefft revealed. The first Question the speaker raised is why the Region is facing this crisis at all. He blames a lack of plan- Waverley School Happenings Weather Centres by Heather Watson Mr. Mills' Grade 3 class has been very busy with Weather Centres.

Other contributing contributing factors are public outcries over environmental protection and the creation of the Environmental Assessment Assessment Act causing delays in site approvals. "To further compound the problem the Region, which took over the respon- sibility of Durham's garbage in 1972, has relied on Metro for garbage disposal (Durham (Durham dumps garbage in the Metro owned Brock West landfill site in Pickering). Durham must now ask itself if it wants to continue to piggyback piggyback with Metro or take the problem into its own, hands," Mr. Tefft said. The speaker sees a solution solution to the waste problem through the expansion of the Laidlaw landfill site. In 1987 the company bought up the land around the existing site increasing its land size to 400 acres. The company believes the property is suitable for landfill landfill and will cause a very low impact on the surrounding area. "The area has a low density density population and soil conditions,, conditions,, are^suited to the de- velopment of a large site there. In fact soil engineers believe there is not another site like it east of Toronto. Finally Finally our goal has always been to operate a first class and invisible landfill," the speaker explained. Mr. Tefft concluded the Laidlaw site is an essential service to the Town's residents. residents. All that stands in the way of Laidlaw's expansion plans is approval from the Ministry Ministry of the Environment, the Region and Town. Mr. Tefft feels it will be at least a year before any decision is made. But before that happens, Durham's neighbor from the west may already have their hands on the Newtonville site and may be dumping Metro waste there. It's well known that in Metro's search for a new landfill site, Newcastle has been listed among the seven alternatives. Mr. Tefft thinks Metro may be eyeing Laid- law's land. "Metro has the ability to expropriate our 400 acre site for waste disposal. And I have to admit it is possible if not probable they will do that, said the regional landfill landfill manager. w.&ï' y'- jsmm ■ ■ . ïiÿî'Pÿti 'ï- ' This year's Newcastle Community Services Advisory Advisory Board (NCSAB) executive said farewell to four of its retiring members at the March 2nd meeting. meeting.
