Rl. dhl 4b 2- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 20, 1991 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" By Scott Anderson A landfill site selection docu- ment released recently is meet- ing with mixed reaction. The Interim Waste Authori- ty, an agency formed by the provincial government to find long-term landfill sites for three regions including Dur- ham, introduced its Draft Ap- proach and Criteria document on August 8. It has met with mixed reaction from various people in the area. Regional councillor Yvonne Christie was enraged when she read the report, claiming that it was a duplication of an earli- er report that Durham had drafted when conducting its own selection process. Councillor Christie says she is "repulsed" at the amount of money the province is spending when it has already been done. "Our taxpayers have already paid for what they have done," she said. "I resent the fact that our taxpayers have to pay for it twice."

PORT PERRY She says the province should pay Durham for the money that it spent on the work. The planned budget for the search for a site in Durham, Toronto/York, and Peel is $17 million for the fiscal year end- ing April, 1992. The money ear- marked for Durham is $1 mil- lion. She says the process "is not new," but adds the time frame is. With Durham's previous re- port the selection process was to take a year, under IWA's process a long list of sites will be identified in November, and the final site will be made 'pub- lic in August 1992. She suspects the process has already been done, and the site has been selected. According to her interpreta- tion of the document, there are only two areas in Durham Re- gion which have been ruled out at this time, an area in Picker- ing, and the Rouge Valley. She says the Oak Ridge Moraine is still up for consideration. The major thrust of the en- tire process is to get the public involved in the process not only at the beginning, but through- out the six-stage process. But councillor Christie is sceptical of this. She points to the fact that the previous Dur- ham study held a number of public forums, and kept the public informed with far great- er frequency than IWA in- tends, but it still met with op- position. "They seem to think that they'll breeze through the pub- lic consultation and opposition, as well as the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board hearing) by Mixed reaction to landfill selection process 1993, with no problem." But councillor Christie thinks they'll be in for a surprise. So incensed with the docu- ment, and the serious implica- tion that it will have, council- lor Christie does not want to have anything to do with it. "This is a provincial initia- tive, not a regional or a munici- pal one, and that has to be un- derstood." She does not support the municipality keep- ing information on the selec- tion process in its offices as the IWA suggested. Glenn Malcolm, ward 4 councillor, was "impressed" with the report, however. He says the new process will have "a totally different effect on Scugog" because it states up- front land with specialty crops have been screened out. This, he says, eliminates the two sites that were designated by the previous document. "I think Scugog is better pro- tected under these new rules," he says. Councillor Malcolm says there is an obvious difference between the two reports in that it encourages a more in- creased effort in source separa- tion, whereas the last docu- ment only encouraged limited recycling. The six-step process involves a long list of potential sites re- leased by November, a short list by February 1992, and the final site named by August of next year. Councillor Malcolm believes this process inconven- iences the least amount of peo- ple over the course of the study.
