Students Help Clean Bowmanville Creek Review Needed of Laidlaw Mining Process From Page 1 know this application is not very popular." However, he pointed out, "this project might have some redeeming aspects." He said a new liner and an improved leachate collection system (which would be part of the project) might take care of problems that may occur without the new technology technology in place. Councillor O'Toole said: "I'm very divided on this issue." Councillor Novak backed him up by suggesting that if the leachate could be taken care of, why not look at Laidlaw's alternatives to what could happen down the road? "There isn't a right or wrong here," Councillor Novak said. "Maybe we should be a little more open-minded. Yes, the application application would see the extension of the life of the landfill. "However, I feel that I am shutting shutting the door on something that could be good for the municipality," Councillor Novak added. Taking the issue by the horns, Councillor Ann Dreslinski asked Planning Director Frank Wu if a meeting suggested in a letter from Laidlaw representative Michael Walters would be beneficial to the municipality. Wu said, without hesitation, "No." Two delegations to the meeting asked the committee to look at the issue. Newcastle Village resident Lloyd Stevenson challenged the councillors councillors to look at the situation at the Stapleton Road facility as they would the Port Granby low-level radio radio active dump. Laidlaw estimates that 58,000 tonnes could be excavated to make room for more waste. Stevenson said he would not want to see the Laidlaw dump in the. same situation as the Port Granby dump which now requires Canadian taxpayers' money to find a host site to take the waste product. Terry Caswell, a member of the Committee of Clarke Constituents, said the committee members are "concerned that the fast track approach approach by Laidlaw to ram through their reclamation project, is irresponsible." irresponsible." She noted the "rapid infiltration basins, are not working and leachate (liquid material) is escaping into Graham Creek almost untreated, according according to our consultants." Caswell told the members of the General Purpose and Administration Committee she was not exactly surprised surprised with Laidlaw's newest proposal, proposal, but she did wonder about a comment comment made by Laidlaw representatives regarding the Interim Interim Waste Authority last year. "In talking to Laidlaw during the IWA hearing, they were quite convinced convinced that if the IWA did not locate here, Laidlaw also would be out of here. "What happened?" she asked. In the report from the Clarington Planning Department, it was estimated estimated that the mining of Laidlaw's south mound would increase the life of the landfill by 1.5 years at a rate of 66 trucks per week. The idea behind the reclamation project is to place a liner under the south mound to improve the environmental environmental integrity of it. The removal removal of recyclables would allow the company to add more waste to the landfill. Laidlaw estimates that 58,000 tonnes of recyclables could be excavated excavated to allow room for more waste. It is also-slated within the report that, if the pilot project proves to be successful, the company would want to follow the same procedure at the north mound. The municipal planning director's director's report states: "It is staff's opinion opinion that any activity which would increase the capacity of the landfill to receive waste, including the proposed proposed reclamation operation, constitutes constitutes an expansion to the landfill operation." operation." According to the department, this also means the company must apply for a rezoning of the property as well.
