12 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, August 3,1988 Letter to Editor lands. Wildflowers abound in the spring and trout migrate migrate upstream annually. A community with an integral country club recreation centre centre is planned over a mile of protected shoreline paths, a twenty acre public park, (something seldom done without Government funds), miles of walking paths, 370 slip marina and clubhouse, and creation of a three million million dollar badly needed safe harbour entrance. This project, which is now before the Town of Newcastle Newcastle and Durham Region planning authorities, is the creation of top local architects, architects, engineers, planners and an ecology sensitive funding organization. The development will cost $120 million and will provide approximately approximately 1,600 GARBAGE DUMP VILLAS Stow all the lip-serving bunk served up by Canadian Politicians about the U.S.A. defiling our lakes and streams with acid rain. Since 1952 our politicos have allowed allowed Eldorado Nuclear to dump 650,000 tons of nuclear nuclear debris on the shores of Lake Ontario at Port Granby. Granby. Port Granby isn't exactly a household word in Metro, but try 20 minutes east of Oshawa, 15 minutes east of Darlington Provincial Park or 10 minutes east of the Town of Newcastle's Water Filtration Plant's main intake. intake. After 12 years of struggle, the few residents of Port Granby (little wonder) managed managed to have the dump site officially closed. They now await the government process process of hearings and inquiries inquiries for the selection of a new site for the accumulated nuclear nuclear waste of Port Granby, Port Hope and nearby Welcome. Welcome. Now how's this for ecological ecological madness? While the Government is removing 650,000 tons of nuclear waste from this area, Metro is planning to replace it with hundreds of thousands of tons of stinking garbage, hauled by hundreds of giant trucks daily along the 401 to the lakeshore in Newcastle. The 401 is hazardous enough with the current volume volume of commercial trucking. Imagine the joy of sitting in backed-up sweltering summer summer traffic in the company of Metro's flies and stagnating stagnating filth; trucks paid by the load, jamming their snouts menacingly over your back bumper. After spending hundreds hundreds of thousands on technical technical studies, Metro's collective collective genius proposes the 1 following sites in Durham Region, three of the four are located on the brink of Lake Ontario: Site N1 - Immediately east of Darlington Provincial Park, between Lake Ontario and Hwy. 401. Thanks for the Park. Pass out the gas masks! 1 Site N2 - Directly south of the Town of Bowmanville, between Lake Ontario and Hwy. 401, adjoining Port Darlington Marina, beaches and lakeside homes. Goodbye Goodbye Marina! Goodbye beaches! beaches! Best of Luck Homeown- Site N3 - Sitting directly on over a mile of Lake Ontario Ontario shoreline and extending north to'Hwy. 401, just east of the main intake pipe of the village of Newcastle's Water Treatment plant. Should you drink chlorinated garbage? Site N4 - Directly north of the Town of Newtonville, spilling into Clarke Creek and Crooked Creek. This one would distribute pollution equally over the water-shed. Although it is inconceivable inconceivable that any site bordering Lake Ontario would even be considered, we have a vested interest and particular grievance grievance with Site N3 ana its potentially disastrous impact. impact. This site is immediately east of our proposed 240 acre Lakside Residential Community. Our site is one of the few remaining large tracts of land with Lake Ontario Ontario frontage in the Metro commuter-shed. Bounded on the west by Wilmot Creek, Graham Creek on the east, and the Lake, the site has been carefully planned to protect the many species of indigenous and migrating birds in the creek bed wet ACCIDENT OR TRAFFIC TICKET?

In addition, there will be substantial spinoff spinoff benefits to local suppliers, businesses and services. Add to this exciting rural scenario an invasion of garbage garbage trucks spewing noise, diesel fumes and stench; harbingers harbingers of the plague of dump gulls, rats and other scavengers indigenous to Metro dumps: Kiss the Ecology Ecology Goodbye; Kiss the Marina Marina Goodbye; Kiss the Development Development Goodbye. All four proposed Durham Durham Garbage Dumps (Landfill Sites) would devastate devastate lives and landscape indiscriminately. indiscriminately. This beautiful beautiful stretch of Lake Ontario's north shore would be rendered rendered uninhabitable and contaminated. Let's not lie down and allow allow Metro to dump on us.

Final Plans for Newtonville Put on Hold The Durham Region has decided not to finalize its plans for growth in Newtonville Newtonville until its staff has investigated investigated the increase in the estimated estimated costs of providing the village with municipal water. water. Two weeks ago, regional council approved an amendment amendment in its Official Plan to recognize Newtonville as a "hamlet for growth". Under the amendment, Newtonville would be able to reach a population of about 1,000 - approximately triple its present size. However, at the latest regional regional council meeting, elected elected officials were told that the cost of running a watermain to Newtonville from Newcastle Newcastle Village is higher than expected. Original estimates had placed the cost at $2.7 million million but the most recent estimates estimates presented to Durham's Durham's public works committee committee have placed the cost at about $3.8 million. At the Wednesday, July 27, meeting of regional council, council, the planning committee asked that the by-law designating designating Newtonville as a hamlet for growth be repealed. repealed. Ward Three Councillor Diane Hamre urged regional council not to repeal the bylaw bylaw until staff has brought in a detailed report on the reasons reasons for the rising costs. The councillor pointed out that the concept of a community water supply has been developed over a number of years and that a subsidy of 60 per cent is to be received from the Province of Ontario. The resolution to repeal the by-law was tabled by regional regional council, pending further further information. This means that the bylaw bylaw to change the designation designation of Newtonville will not be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board for final approval.
