L9L 1B7 November 15,1990 Dear Sir or Madam: We the members of the Anglican Church in Scugog object to the plan of Durham Region Council to establish a landfill site as a means of disposing raw garbage in Durham. This has been the accepted method of disposing disposing of garbage for too many years. Many years ago the practice was to dump the trash on a poor piece of land somewhere almost out of sight. In many cases these sites eventually leaked and polluted the surface and the ground water. Now we have become much more "advanced"; "advanced"; we take a section of the best farmland and bury garbage on it. These sites too, eventually leak and pollute pollute both the surface and the ground water. Where we once had a few acres piled with trash, we now nave hundreds of acres buried buried and piled high with trash. The annual precipitation in this part of Ontario is about 90 cm. (35 in.). On a 150 hectare (375 acres) site that amounts to 1.3 billion litres (286 million gallons) of water in one year. This either either forms a lake, soaks into the ground, or runs off into streams and lakes. In spite of what engineers tell us there is no way that such volumes of water can be contained. contained. Research shows that all landfill sites leak, and with such volumes of water it is not surprising! About 5% of Ontario is farmland. If we insist on destroying destroying it as fast as we do, the proportion can only diminish. diminish. A landfill at any of the proposed sites will do more than destroy farmland. People People in towns and hamlets depend depend on the same ground water that is being threatened. threatened. They will also have to contend with the unnaturally unnaturally large concentration of gulls such a project will bring. Both the gulls and ' the poisoned ground water , Awill endanger the health of oodies of water Such as our Many >eei the same familv The people thi left $t.

No matter where you try to put a dump people will be scared and they are going to fight back. Tiy rupt the lives of many people, people, ruin communities and destroy one of our most basic basic non-renewable resources (farm land) to allow the rest of society to enjoy a style of life that allows them to throw away anything that is not wanted? Many of these y K «9 c ny farms have been farmed by ily for several generations. Some of the farms are century farms with a crown deed. Why should a century farm not be as sacred as an historic building? One of the reasons that these sites were chosen was that they would not displace as many people as other potential potential sites. This was so because because people have farmed these lands and kept them in food production for 140 years. Had the land owners been money hungry, they could have sold oil numerous numerous lots so that now the roads would be lined with houses and thus the area would have been unsuitable due to the number of families families displaced. Because they chose not to do this, they are now being told their homes and farms are potential dump sites. The people that are displaced displaced by a dump will have trouble relocating to a new community away from friends and relatives. They will also have trouble rebuilding rebuilding ah entérprize that has taken years to build in their home area. y r > ;> fmm •■U . mposted oduced.
