2 The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowman ville, Saturday, October 23,1993 A committee of Clarington Council wants the federal government government to move quickly onto the next two phases of work examining the landfill site on Stapleton Road owned by Laidlaw Waste Systems. "Environment Canada should be urged to finish its study because of the IWA (Interim Waste Authority) threat," said Ward Three Councillor David Scott. Councillor Scott was referring to the fact that the Interim Waste Authority Authority is considering land near the Laidlaw operation as a new Durham Region landfill site. In the first phase of investigations, investigations, a hydrologic study of Graham Creek was done by Gartner Lee, at the expense of the federal government. government. The consultants have concluded that "leachate-contaminated ground water is discharging to Graham • Creek through flow by-passing the leachate control system; infiltration of untreated water from the Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBs); and from surface seeps contaminated by leachate leachate or water from the RIB," states a report from the Clarington Planning Planning Department. More Than 50 By-Law Charges Laid in Town A total of 51 By-law charges were laid from April 1 to Sept. 1, 1993 in the municipality of Clarington. Clarington. There were 33 convictions, and five that were either dismissed or withdrawn by the municipality. A report from the Clerk's Department Department shows that there are still 20 cases awaiting trials or first appearances. appearances. While most residents paid no more than $500 for zoning offences, one offence for violating a property standards by-law three times meant one resident paid out $1,000 and was told to demolish a building. A numbered Ontario company was ordered to pay $15,000 for violating violating a building code a dozen times. Agreement for CLIPE And Separate Board The Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland and Newcastle Roman Roman Catholic Separate School Board and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1453 are pleased to announce that an agreement for the 250 CUPE employees employees has been ratified by both parties. The agreement calls for a wage freeze and improvements to the dental plan and bereavement leave. The contract will be in effect until the end of the Social Contract. Gene Brahaney, Chairman of the Salary Committee, states: "I am delighted delighted that the CUPE membership and Board have ratified the contract. With commitment and dedication, we have managed to come together and work through this difficult economic economic time." Sandra O'Toole, President of CUPE, says that "our members are aware of the economic climate at this time and have taken into consideration consideration the restraint that is required under tire conditions. We are hopeful hopeful dial by 1996 the climate will have improved and administration will be able to address the fiscal conditions of our members." Don Folz, Director of Education, states that "we are in a period of what I believe are the most significant significant negotiations the Board and its employee groups have ever faced. The need for greater understanding and cooperation is more important now than at any other time in our past. It is an extremely challenging time for our Board and this contract settlement with our CUPE members demonstrates co-operation in meeting meeting this challenge." Within this report on the first phase of Gartner Lee's study is a comment on the leachate collection system which was installed in 1985 and then modified. The intention of the system was to intercept and collect contaminat- •ed ground water moving from the waste site towards Graham Creek. The leachate is collected, and uncontaminated uncontaminated water is drawn into the system and pumped into two RIBs. However, it is pointed out in the department report the contaminated water is not being treated. "The leachate-contaminated water water is not treated in any manner and the water is allowed to percolate through the sandy bottoms of the RIBs and back into the underlying ground water system. A secondary plume of contaminated ground water water is present in the area between the basins and the creek." These findings were not the only ones in the consultant's report. Another finding recommends that detailed sampling be undertaken undertaken during spring and fall when the water in Graham Creek is bound to have greater dilution of leachate from upstream. While it was the concern of local residents that led to the study by the government, Councillor^ Scott is hoping the results of the study will help [keep the IWA from locating another landfillk on Stapleton Road. To that end, the members of the General Purpose and Administration Committee have sent copies of the Gartner and Lee study report to the regional director of Environment Canada; the federal minister of the environment; Bud Wildman, the provincial Ministry of Energy & Environment; Environment; Walter Pitman, Chair of the IWA; Dr. Kyle, Chief Medical Officer of Health in the Durham Region, Region, Premier Bob Rae and Durham MP Ross Stevenson.
