Agreeing on where garbage should go is much more difficult. The Greater Toronto Area needs three new landfill sites. And soon, a long list of possible locations will be announced by the Interim Waste Authority (IWA). The IWA is looking for one site in each of the Regional Municipalities of Peel, Durham, and the combined areas of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipality of York. Over the past few months, the IWA has worked with the public to determine the criteria that will be used to select the long list of candidate sites. However, while this list is an important step, it is not the final one. In about three months time, the list will be shortened to a few potential sites and next year, one preferred site in each area will be selected. Many more difficult decisions need to be made to shorten the long list and make the final selection. The public has an important role in helping to make those hard choices. Your input is important to the site selection process. For more information on how you can get involved, call the Public Information Offic&'in your area.

Don't expect water levels to be altered Don't expect water levels in Lake Scugog to be altered by the Trent Severn Authority, a public meeting last week in Port Perry was told. It would be "very tough" to start changing the water levels, said Fred Allier, assistant superin- tendent with the Trent Severn. Mr. Allier and Blaine Trumbley, a senior technician with the Authority were speaking at a public information meeting organized by Scugog Ward 3 councillor Ken Gadsden. Some residents of the Township who have shoreline property have complained that water levels are too low in the summer months which hampers boating and docking. . Allier said the Trent Severn, which controls water lev- cls by the stop dam in Lindsay, has no intention of altering cur- rent procedures. "We are meeting the objectives vig the Authority) Besides, he added, changing the water levels would require exiensive study Envi a few inches higher at the start of the "dry season" each summer. Mr. Allier said that holding back water in the lake during the spring could result in flooding should there be a severe storm. Mr. Trumbley told the meeting the lake is "drawn down" about 20 inches each year from January 1 to March 15 to reduce spring flooding risks. There is no "draw down" of water levels during the summer months. Evaporation accounts for declining water levels in summer, especially if there is a long, dry spell such as in 1991. Lake Scugog water levels are automatically monitayed daily by an electronic device on the federal pier at Caesarea. The levels are recorded using an elevation taken at the control dam in Lindsay. The minimum level for navigation in the channel is 249.80 metres above sea level and the lake is considered "full" when the elevation reading is 250.05 metres. Mr. Trumbley agreed that silt- under the Protection Act And he said, many shoreline residents would be strongly opposed to higher water levels because of the danger of flooding and erosion. Several people at the meeting suggested the water level be kept ing is imp g on water levels in Lake Scugog, and this year, the lake was late re-filling with water because of the late spri Mr. Allier. stressed several times during the meeting that altering the lake levels is not something the Trent Severn is
