Mrs. Grier told the region that it would have to build a temporary site to store the gar- bage until it is moved to a per- manent site in Peel. The spot designated most likely to serve as this temporary location is in Pickering. This order from the minister also has council asking where the money for such a project is to come from. The construction of this transfer station is esti- mated to cost $10-$12 million, a lot more money than the region hasinits coffers at the present. But Mrs. Grier claims the money is to come from the $20 million the province gave to the region to build the P1 site a few Seven teams in extrication competition 'Seven rescue teams will com- pete in this Saturday's extrica- tion competition in Port Perry.

The region says this money is gone, and in fact could be operating at somewhat of a deficit. To make matters worse, the province is considering altering the rebate schedule. The region currently receives a residential rebate from Metro based on a population forecast and a waste generation factor of 1.33 kg/ capita/day. But Metro believes this is unfair as the region gen- erates enough garbage for only 0.6 kilograms per person. In order to make this up, Me- tro would like to change the re- bate process to a total weight- based rebate. If this system isimplemented the region will have to repay Metro approximately $8.6 mil- lion due to the change in num- bers, retroactive to the start of 1991. Region figures estimate that it could lose more than $7 millionin 1992 as well. A memo to members of the Fi- nance and Administration Committee, Waste Reduction Committee, describes the bleakness of the situation. "If Metro Toronto adjusts the resi- dential rebate calculation to ac- tual tonnage at the end of 1991, the financial impact to the re- gion is substantial." Among the effects of the new structure, it says, is that there would be no money available for recycling programs. This memo also suggested that the region request the province to direct Metro to pro- vide industrial/commercial re- bates to Durham Region, reim- burse the region the $4 million previously spent by the region for the P1 site and the Master Plan, and provide additional grant funding for 3R operating and capital related expendi- tures.
