Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, December 17, 1991 --5 da Search for dump site still on hold The search for a site for a new landfill in Durham Region is on hold until the provincial Legislature passes Bill 143, John Steele, spokesperson for the Interim Waste Authority (IWA) the provincial company set up the province last spring to find a landfill jn Durham Region, said recently the site selection process is dependent on Bill 143 becoming law. "Obviously, we (TWA) are in a delay right now," he told the Citizen, But he hastened to add that other work by the IWA has not ground 1o a stop. He said the IWA continues to work on the criteria for site selec tion 10 come up with the so-called "long list" of 10-20 sites, Once that list has been made public, he said the process will shorten it 10 five sites over a three month period, and eventually one "preferred site" will be identified Mr. Steele said once Bill 143 is law, it will be four 10 eight weeks before the IWA makes public the "long list The Legislature is not slated 10 AIRPORT SERVICE - call - T&C Limousine 24 HOUR SERVICE Office: 985-0170 PORT PERRY " retum to work until March and it's anyone guess how long it will take for Bill 143 0 become law. Mr. Steele declined to speculate on that, saying i's up to the politi- cians For the IWA, the crucial aspect of Bill 143 in the site selection process will allow access to private property for visual inspections as well as digging to test soil suitabil- ity. If a property owner declines 10 grant permission, the IWA can get it through the courts. Without being able to do this, the selection of a dump site could be delayed for longer periods of ume, he said. The access part of the Bill has come under criticism by members of Zero Garbage in Scugog Township and Ward 4 councillor David Dietlein has served notice he will attend public hearings to voice concems. But Mr. Steele said there are several government agencies and ministries that have the right 10 access property. These include Hydro, Ministry of Government Services and the Ministry of Transportation. "This is not an un-common power and (Bill 143) is not setting any precedents," he said He agreed that the "clock is ticking" for Durham Region to | A, { ALCAN | DOORS & WINDOWS - = | RC 2.
