A much larger EFW facility to handle 2,000 tonnes per day would cost $220 million to build. Durham currently is generat- ing just over 280,000 tonnes of garbage from all sources (house- hold, industrial, commercial) year- ly, but if present trends continue that figure will climb to 370,000 tonnes by the turn of the century. The small Scugog landfill site is now nearly filled and is sched- uled to be closed early next year. Most of Durham's garbage is now being dumped at the Metro owned landfill in Pickering, but that site is also nearing capacity and could be filled within two years. Metro Toronto is currently Why Is eight-year old Sean Roncettl of RR 3 Port Perry smiling? trying to find a site for an interim dump (up to five years) that would serve its needs until permanent so- lutions to the garbage problem can be found. Potential sites for an interim Metro dump have been identified in Pickering and Newcastle, but local citizens groups are mounting strong opposition campaigns to keep Metro's trash out of Durham Region.

Paul Manley, an expert with MacLaren Engineering told the council meeting that the techno- log exists today to eliminate air emmissions from incinerators, but the problem with the ash is still being studied. The consultants are suggest- ing that by 1993, Durham should be handling garbage by dumping 20 per cent in landfills, recycling 25 per cent, incinerating 35 per cent and eliminating the rcmain- ing 20 per cent through reuse and composting programs on a large scale. Scugog Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm told the Star after the meeting that ideally Dur- ham should look for three smaller 'sites to handle its own garbage, but provincial environmental reg- ulations preclude this. He said it is likely that Dur- ham will have to reach an agree- ment with Metro to use its inter- im dump for five years while finding and opening a new landfill of its own. RV was destroyed under cloak of night Durham Regional Police are not certain of the cause of a fire that destroyed a motorhome in the middle of the night July 27. A police spokesman said a Scugog Concession 10 resident was wakened at 4:45 AM and saw the Ford Motorhome on fire in the middle of the road. By the time the alarm was turned in the vehicle was totally destroyed by the flames. The Police spokesman said there were no licence plates on the vehicles and no serial number. Police believe the Motorhome was stolen and abandoned, but they are not certain if the fire was deliberately set. Police have not been able to find the owner of the vehicle. 9 Jone" OPENING PERMS NEW LOCATION Summer Special 24a 10th Conc.
