The announcement awoke the area from a dreamy summer rest period resulting in the area quickly organizing t.o object to the proposal arid with the' final defeat of any consideration of the proposal. As a result of the demise of the proposal the Federal Government has set forth a Site Selection Committee Committee who have furnished an interim interim report with a 'final draft to be presented within a week or two. Helen MacDonald states the Site Selection Committee has meet with individual concerned groups and elected parties when the Interim report was discussed. The committee committee met with the Town of Newcastle Group, which is headed by Terry Hutchison of Tyrone, in June. MacDonald said the report seemed seemed too good to be true and that the Site Committee is hopeful in enticing enticing some municipality to agree to a waste management site within their municipality. She said they feel there will be a stampede. As to the final draft a mailing is" to go out to all municipalities in the province outlining the offer and opportunities opportunities being offered. It is expected the host community will then negotiate with the government government for the location of a low-level waste site in their municipality.
