LETTER TO THE EDITOR Torontonians - It's Time You Knew Your Garbage Doesn't End At The Curb. Just over a year ago my husband and I moved to the Hamlet of Newtonville (located (located on Highway 2 between between Bowmanville and Port Hope). We thought of it as a better place to raise a family, grow our own fruit and vegetables, and avoid most of the city pollution. Aside from a few disillusion-' ments (the Government informs informs us that the whole Newton villé aouifer is polluted polluted and the well water is not particularly safe to drink), we are very happy here and feel that my husband's 45 minute drive to work is a reasonable price to pay for the 'country' lifestyle. Imagine our feelings when, on May 25th, Metro announced its 2 newest po- teiitial 5 year interim (believe (believe this adjective and I have some swampland to sell you) landfill sites. To really understand you must talk to someone who lives near the Pickering dump. On a summer's day you don't open your windows, you close them. The smell nas been described as sticking your head in a bag- of garbage garbage after it has sat in the sun a few days. At times there are 30 to 40 garbage trucks lined up, adding unin- vitable seagulls. We are not talking about a few feet from the dump, we are talking in. terms of miles. Landfill site N4 is located about 1 mile NW (upwind) of Newtonville. It would be a southward enlargement of the already present 20 acre private Laidlaw dump. Such an enlargement has twice been denied by the Government Government on environmental grounds. Earlier in May Metro's Metro's own consultants, in re- sonse to a direct question by Mayor John Winters, stated that Metro was in no way considering this site as it could not meet environmental environmental criteria. Site N3 is just SW of us from the 401 to the shore of Lake Ontario. Remember our water problem? Well, by next year we are supposed to be hooked into the Village of Newcastle's water system. The Village of Newcastle is located just west of site N3. It gets its water from Lake Ontario. Ontario. Enough said. "It could never happen" ' you say. Well Metro has applied applied to the Government to be exempted from the environmental environmental assessment process. process. Surely these requirements requirements are in place expressly for situations such as this? These studies do take 3 to 5 years but it's not like Metro didn't know this problem was coming. i PEOPLE OF DURHAM-' YOU ARE NOT GUILTLESS! GUILTLESS! The Region of Durham Durham has a 10 year working agreement with Metro to take its garbage. Now if you feel that whatever monetary remuneration Durham gets is worth the risk of Metro's garbage being literally dumped in your back yard, not to mention the thought of each and every load on each and every Metro garbage truck driving through Durham, Durham, 45 minutes to and 45 minutes from the dump, then fine. That's the way your councillors voted. If you don't agree write your council member and tell them! Newcastle is only 1 of 8 municipalities in Durham and a majority is needed to make any policy changes. We all know landfill sites are necassary. But surely they should be as environmentally environmentally safe as possible, not encroach on prime farmland (N3 and N4 would expropriate expropriate working farms), and should be consistent with the size of community they serve. Let Durham look after Durham's garbage (preferably (preferably in several smaller sites), but let Metro put its garbage on Metro land. Maybe then Torontonians will realize that garbage doesn't end at the curb. Sincerely, Mrs. Sharon Steele P.S. A sadly ironic fact: Newtonville does not even get Municipal garbage pickup. pickup. ? • - . 7 -J' // ' ' 1 7 Mrt HENRY V m..
