a en Wm, r-- Bani Stan J "A Family Tradition for 133 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 26, 1999 - 9 Councillors consider new bylaw on sludge From page 1 to go a step further. He said Monday he is ready to introduce a local bylaw that would require all . farmland where sludge is spread to be licenced by the munici- pality, and that Atlantic and Courtice Auto Wreckers foot the bill for ongoing monitoring of lands by independent experts. The municipality would have to be satisfied these conditions are met before sludge could be applied to lands in Scugog. The mayor had photos which showed that sludge had apparently not been plowed under, and he had a small sample of soil with sludge visible through it. "This is really starting to get out of hand. It is getting into the streams and the groundwater," he said. The mayor admitted he is not certain what the right answers are in this growing issue: "I don't want to start a war with anybody, but con- trols need to be put in place... Doing nothing is not the answer." He said unless stricter controls are put in place by the provincial envi- ronment ministry, he is fully prepared to pass a local bylaw. Regional Councillor Ken Gadsden said he was told by a Scugog farmer that when paper sludge was spread on a neigh- bour's field, 17 fish in a pond died the next day. Atlantic Packaging was granted a certificate by the environment min- istry in 1991, and it is up for renewal early this year. The Senes report notes that yield reductions were present in tomatoes and wheat grown in sand loam and clay soils. The MOE report noted no problem with lettuce grown in soils with sludge.

"I think we are dealing with some new politicians on council... (who) want to cut costs, but are not aware of the ramifications," he said. Environmental impact studies must be conducted on development, and plans for preservation of natural heritage and hazard features in municipalities must be conducted, said Mr. Macnab. "If you do away with our conservation authority, who's going to be responsible for doing those?" ; Scugog Township is on the record as sup- porting the KCA. Soon after news of the 'move by Bobcaygeon circulated earlier this month, local politicians drafted and passed a resolution which recognizes the value of the authority, and pledges continuing support. Local representatives on the KCA board are Regional Councillor Ken Gadsden and Ward 1 Councillor Keith Bacon. Similar votes of confidence have been cast by a few other member municipalities, and Mr. Macnab is confident the vote Feb. 11 will result in a renewed mandate for the authority. "We have an overwhelming base of support for the authority and the work we do," he said. The public meeting is scheduled to take place Feb. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kawartha Conservation offices, at 277 Kenrei Rd., RR 1 Lindsay. | depend on my M Inivan 7 days a week.
