Richards About 40 residents have visited the information centre established in Bowmanville to discuss the four landfill sites proposed for the Town . of Newcastle. ' Among the 40, there were some who are property landowners where the potential landfill sites could be located, said Eric Pelletier, an Executive Executive Assistant to the General Manager Manager of the Interim Waste Authority (IWA). The IWA opened its Bowmanville Bowmanville information centre on Caristrap St. last Thursday, following die announcement announcement of 17 potendal landfill site locations in the Durham Region. This list of possible sites is to be narrowed to a "short list" of diree sites by September. "We have talked with property owners from the Lakeshore Road" potential location and "from those, around thè KK1 and KK2 (Laidlaw area)," Mr. Pelletier said. / Most of the people who-' have been to the centre have toldjiim that they thought the selection process was satisfactory. / "They do agree with (lie process of selection of potential sites," said Mr. Pelletier. They even acknowledge that sites Residents Request Beaver St. Change A petition from 60 Newcastle Village residents requests that Beaver Beaver Street be made a two-way street. This would enable Newcastle Village Public School students to cycle along the street instead of being being "forced to use Mill Street if the one-way street law is enforced," stales the petition received by Newcastle Newcastle council from Jack Crago, a resident of Newcastle Village. The petition has been referred to the Director of Public Works for a report to be submitted to. the General General Purpose and Administration Committee. Committee. located near Lake Ontario could work because of the strides technology technology has taken over the years with regards regards to landfill management, he said. But all of the potential sites in the municipality have received a chilly reception from the Town of Newcastle. Ward Three Local Councillor David Scott told Council on Monday Monday evening he was not happy with two potential sites being located so close to Lake Ontario. There are four possible Town of Newcastle sites, two of which arc located alongside Lake Ontario. The sites are near Ncwtonville and Bowmanville." Bowmanville." The Newlonville sites arc: • the current Laidlaw Landfill site, including land to the south of that site; • additional properly directly south of the current Laidlaw Landfill Landfill location (on Part Lots 11 and 12 along Concessions 2 and 3); and, • land south of Highway 401 and north of Lakeshore Road and the CNR along Morgan's Road on Part Lots 14, 15 and 16 with broken front and Concession Road 1. This last site is one of the ones that Dillon Consultants had proposed proposed as a possible location for a Metro dump, said Councillor Scott during Monday night's council meeting. However, "it (the lakeshore site near Newlonville) came off the long list early in the process," Councillor Scott said. In the Bowmanville area, the potential potential site is at the current St. Marys Marys Cement property. In addition, the potential site extends west to Holt Road. This location excludes the dock and quarry and is located just west of Waverley Road. Councillor Scott told fellow- councillors he thought that the IWA consultants chose potential sites "clearly on an academic basis. They weren't looking at the data." Continued on Page 2 by Laura J.
