Public Meeting on PCB Processing From page 1 He noted that lie has even had inquiries from the municipality over PCB processing. processing. "Someone from the municipality called and has eight to 10 drums, and I would be willing to process them for little or no cost," Samson said. He went on to explain that once PCB's were considered considered to be dangerous to the environment, a ban came into effect in the late 1970's. He added that currently his company sends the collected collected PCBs to Swan Lake, Alberta, for incineration. However, he noted there is a similar facility in Colbornc, Ontario. Coming to the idea of a public hearing, Samson was quite adamant that the council council reconsider. "Please, don't ask for a public hearing. Perhaps just a meeting," he said. He observed that, "for every step I take there's so many conditions." I-Ic said: "I want to get going as soon as we can." When asked by councillors, councillors, he told them that at the Bowmanvillc location they would only take light ballasts ballasts and drained transformers. transformers. Mayor Diane Ilarnre asked "have area residents been notified as to what you plan to do?" "We have had discussions discussions with our immediate neighbour," Samson replied. In a report from the Planning Department at last week's General Purpose and Administration Committee, it is noted that the location would be a processing and transfer station for such items as fluorescent lamp ballasts, high intensity discharge discharge ballasts, transformers transformers and switchgear, underground underground lead and copper cable, any PCB contaminated contaminated materials, but no trans formers containing oil will be received at the site. The maximum amount of storage of unprocessed waste will be 75,000 kilograms kilograms in two PCB approved storage containers. The applicant is not proposing to destroy any PCB's on site, the report stated. Currently on the site, there arc trailers which would be used as the applicant's applicant's buildings for disassembly disassembly and storage. The applicant currently has a Certificate of Approval for the mobile units. "All work will be done within the trailer, trailer, and the trailer can act as a containment system because it would be one enclosed area that will be controlled by heavy duty poly so that nothing could escape," states the report. The councillors passed the recommendation to ask the Ministry, of the Environment to have an "informal" meeting with area residents prior to issuing issuing the needed 'certificate of approval.'
