2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, February 10,1993 Dairy Farmer Frustrated by Uncertainty of Dump Site Process From Page One for retirement. He wouldn't say anything anything about that, except: "I've got a figure, but I'm not telling." What really gets to Glenn and his entire family, though, is the fact that the province has already bought land in the Pickering area which is also under consideration for a landfill landfill operation. "Why doesn't the government go where they don't have to buy?" Glenn askded. He has also been told that the Pickering land is more suitable for landfill purposes. "I was talking with a well digger who said that of five holes he dug on that land (in Pickering) only one of the five had some water in it. The land had a clay base." This would be a perfect property for a landfill when compared to the Stapleton property which has a shallow shallow spring running underground. The existing Laidlaw Landfill site located behind the dairy farm is located in what was "originally a gravel pit." That dump is "sitting on a pile of gravel," he said. The Stapletons say that the gravel gravel base underlying the area should be of concern because water can easily flow through buried garbage. "Residents of Newcastle Village and Newtonville should be concerned concerned since their water intake pipes are close to the mouth of Graham Creek on the lakeshore. "If the creek water is polluted then their drinking water could be too. I mean, how can they purify the water if they don't know what is in ... . . ... . 7 „ J family farm was still on the long list ' P" r,en ™& tL s tr/ JS SÏ tss "la would change If a landfill lh« dumj) issucwasnolforcmoat m were located close to them. "They would go down into the earth a minimum of 30 feet to dig a dump. " 5T AP At this point in the conversation, Glenn told this reporter that if one wants to see how much water can actually turn up in a gravel pit, go to see the one owned and operated by the Town of Newcastle on Morgan's Road, north of Highway Two. The gravel pit has two signs in it: one states that it is Town of Newcastle Newcastle property and the other, stuck in the ice, says: "Drop Water." Glenn and his family firmly believe believe that the farm's proximity to the existing Laidlaw landfill site is one reason why the IWA is considering considering à second landfill operation at the Newtonville location. "If it weren't weren't for Laidlaw we wouldn't be on the list," said Glenn, although he adds: "I've heard it's a red herring." For a while last year, when the the minds of the Stapletons However, now it is always there, Shirley said. "There are times when you can't even sleep because you are worried," worried," she stated. Of course it doesn't help the situation situation to realize that the family hasn't heard from the IWA officially officially that their farm is even on the short list. That simple fact angers Glenn. "The ones not on it (the IWA's list of dump sites) in Port Perry got a.call, but we didn't. They didn't have the guts to do that." The only call that they have heard since they were informed by their local councillor is the one from the IWA's lawyer recently. That was the call to say that they would like to tour the land on Thursday. At this point in lime, Glenn "and Shirley have no idea who will show up tomorrow at their gate. It could be anyone--from engineers to Walter Walter Pitman, the Chairman of the IWA. No matter who shows up, they will be greeted at the farm gate by Glenn and his family members. The visitors will want to lour the . property that the provincial leader of the New Democrat Party stood on in the summer of 1990 during his election election campaign. "Premier Rae led us to believe that the dump wouldn't be here," said Glenn. That too, is baffling for the owners owners of the successful dairy operation. It's almost as baffling as the idea of taking land that is zoned as permanent permanent agriculture to turn it into a landfill.
