A Proud Voice For Scugog § Vol. 2, No. 8 Tuesday, August 25, 1992 CIRC. 10,000 28 pages 'Saga of Scugog Island tire dump takes yet another strange twist The saga of those old tires on Scugog Island took another twist last week as the owner of the Concession 10 property shipped about 10,000 tires to Buffalo. Fred Boehm made the arrange- ments to remove the tires because of fears the Ministry of the Environment may force him to pay the estimated $170,000 for private security at the property where more than 35,000 old tires have been stored for 17 months. An agreement between Scugog Township and the MOE to remove the tires at a cost of some $60,000 is stiJl waiting provincial approval. wnship administrator Earl Cuddie said last week the Township is being told that the *"gran| application (to remove the tires)lis being processed." The application was made in June. The tires have been stored in an old bar on a property owned by. Mr. Boehm and others. Gordon Elso, who rented the farm began hauling the told tires to the bam in the late fall of 1990. Scugog Township was able to get a court order and $500 fine against Elson, who has since left the area without paying the fine.

Earlier this summer, a company from PEI took about 2,000 tires from the barn for re-capping. While the MOE so far has paid $170,000 in security costs, it is reluctant to pay for the clean-up out of fear of setting a precedent for other hazardous storage sites in the province. The tires are stored in a barn just a few hundréd metres from residential wells and Lake Seugog.
