These will improve the quality quality of groundwater by limiting leachate leachate infiltration into the aquifer. The collection system is for any material "which may be having some impact on the environment" However, Walters was quick to note he did not believe there is anything anything within the south mound that could be impacting on the environment environment at this time. Nevertheless, that will not stop the company from "looking for any potential hazards." In fact, the company has a customer customer listing of companies which placed waste into the south mound. The south mound was first begun in the 1950's and is the oldest of the two mounds on the Laidlaw property property between Stapleton Road and Reid Road. Currently, the company is seeking seeking approval for their proposed pilot project from the Ministry of the Environment Environment and Energy. Walters is confident of approval. He is also looking for support of both Clarington Council and Durham Durham Regional Council in the bid to mine the site for recyclables. "We want to work with council," he said. He added he thinks people will want to see enhanced protection to the site. If allowed to proceed, the reclamation reclamation will free-up enough landfill space to put more material into the landfill over a year-and-a-half time frame. "This is not part of our landfill Petition Demands Improvements to Soccer Facilities From Page 1 in use to accommodate their needs. The fields at Waverley Public School, for instance, could support three mini-soccer fields and one normal normal sized pitch, said the petition. In a three to five-year time period, period, Johnson asked council to "prepare plans and to make a definite definite commitment to construct a minimum minimum of five new soccer pitches in the municipality." The ultimate goal is the construction construction of a state-of-the-art soccer facility facility that would be "capable of hosting hosting provincial tournaments, and teams from around the world." The report from the soccer groups was received and sent to Clarington's Community Services Department for review. Municipal staff will present their recommendations recommendations at a future meeting. expansion plans. But, to offset the associated costs of placing the liner and leechate collection system, there will be additional volume." He said the contours would be as stated on the company's certificate. Walters estimated once the re- claimables are taken out of the landfill landfill site, the company would be able to add 40,000 to 50,000 tonnes over the suggested time-frame. According to Walters, that comes down to adding 820 tonnes each five- and-one-half day week at 12 to 14 trucks per day.

The requests for more information have come from communities here in Ontario and across the country. As it is, this technology has already already been tried out in Florida and Pennsylvania. "I think if you sit down and think about it, this project is exciting. I feel it is a positive story, not only for our facility but for others across the country," Walters said.
