"You can't beleive what you read", she said, "reports are not what they appear to be". In continuing the Mayor said Laidlaw has three applications before the Region, one of infilling, one for a sewer line from the landfill landfill site north-west of Newtonville to the sewage station in Newcastle Village and another for an expansion expansion of the existing landfill site. She said the infilling application is now being considered. She also said if approval for the sewage line is approved the rest is a fate of com- plie. Mayor Hubbard also noted that she had seen a proposal that showed spur rail lines going into property in thé south of the' former Township " of Clarke, south of Newtonville that would be, able to transport gar bage from Metro by rail. As well another proposal of some years ago is again back on track in which garbage would be railed from Metro to south Hope Township. She said it is rumored that Metro is prepared to offer some $100 million for the privilege. Councillor Larry Hannah of the Newcastle council and a member of the Regional Waste Management commiftee in commenting on the recent recent ifiterim report from the McLaren consultants said he was disturbed by the report. , He said the interim report seemed to be saying "we have our answer right here, Laidlaws." He said it was not the intent of the Management committee that the report would , at this time, pinpoint particular sites. He said the pinpointing pinpointing of sites was not to happen until 1990. "The interim report did deal in specifics with Laidlaw", he said.

The report also spoke of other imminent large-scale developments in the particular area of the watershed. watershed. "Although it is the policy of the Region to review each proposal on its own merits, it is not good planning practice to promote piecemeal piecemeal development where development development is likely to occur." The report stated that in light of future development potential and the environmental sensitivity of the watershed, it may be desirable to study the overall impact of development development in the entire watershed within the Region of Durham. As of Monday no indication of the Advisory Committee report was available ot that in fact it had as yet been submitted to the Minister of the Environment.
