This time around, the committee will be monitoring the work of a special federal task force reviewing radioactive waste site selection and trying to find an appropriate site in Ontario for a dump to hold waste produced by Eldorado Resources - Limited. The committee could also name a person to be included on the task force. After a lengthy debate last Wednesday, councillors decided to put the committee to work to ensure "Durham would have an active role in the selection of a new site and the removal of the radioactive waste from Port Granby, located in Newcastle. The committee was originally formed to oppose Eldorado's proposal to locate its dump on prime farmland near Tyrone. Jones. Back row from left: Judy Anderson, Deb- bie Davis, Carol Morrow, Pauline Pavlik, Shirley Ash, Katlina Collins, Elsa Bongard, Paula Copithorn and Noreen Trudel. Absent when photo was taken are Judy Mitchell and Millie Oshawa councillor Irv Harrell, a member of the original committee, rose to urge his fellow councillors to lift a report issued by planning com- missioner Dr. Mofeed Michael, and to deal with it by a vote of council, rather than simply receiving it as information. Stating he felt council would have difficulty separating the wheat from the chaff Harrell stated, '"We have too much at stake not to participate in the selection of a dumping site for radioactive waste." He asked coun- cil to consider the matter carefully and stressed that Durham not hav- ing a political representative sitting on the task force could be inter- preted that the region did not care where the government might chose to locate such a dump. '""There is no other logical choice but to participate in the selection of a site," said Harrell. Pickering councillor Norah Stoner added to the debate saying council must 'keep on top of this or we will be totally vulnerable." Stating that many times the region is not told when and where the task force holds its meetings, she said taking part directly would help reduce the communications problems that have cropped up recently. The previous week, task force chairman Dr. Jim McTaggert- Cowan met with Newcastle council and representatives of citizens' groups opposed to Eldorado's plans to discuss the task force and its work. However, some Newcastle coun- cillors said they were not informed officially of the meeting. Newcastle councillor Marie Hubbard, also - chairman of the planning depart- ment, said planning commissioner Dr. Mofeed Michael had not been in- formed of the meetings or of the McTaggert-Cowan appointment as head of the task force.

Looking on is Lion President Robert Mairs "These meetings are being held and we are not being told when and where and on what topics," cried Stoner. But Newecastle's Diane Hamre declared the federal government has done all it could in the short time it has had to alert people about the meetings. She said McTaggert- Cowan has been asked to inform the chief administrative officers and councillors of Durham and Newcas- tle of new developments, adding he has said he is willing to meet with politicians at any time. Hamre said the task force chair- man wants to see local residents and politicians on the task force, which is to report to the government in about seven months time. She said McTaggert-Cowan indicated to her that criticising the government would get the region and Newcastle "nowhere." The revived committee is made up of regional chairman Gary Her- rema, Brock Mayor Allan McPhail, Newcastle Mayor John Winters, Harrell, Newcastle councillors Hub- bard and Ann Cowman, and recent- ly appointed Hamre. The task force was set up last month when Minister for Forestry and Mines, Gerald Merrithew, ordered Eldorado to stop work at its two site proposals in Tyrone and Wesleyville. Eldorado has been told to drop Tyrone from any future con- sideration and to put the Wesleyville site on hold until the task force has reported. Eldorado, which refines uranium at its plant in Port Hope, announc- ed late this summer that it was con- sidering the two sites for its racioac- tive waste. The waste is presently being stored at dumps in Port Gran- by and Welcome and in various loca- tions in Port Hope. The federal government has ordered these dumps closed and cleaned up by 1988.
