BY PETER SPOHN Town of Penetanguishene has agreed to the terms of an agreement worked out between members of the North Simcoe Waste Management Association (NSWMA) and Eric Pauze, owner of the Pauze Landfill Site in Tiny Township, that covers the operation of the landfill site for the next three years. Penetanguishene is the first of six municipalities belonging to NSWMA to formally enter into an agreement With Pauze. Municipal councils in Midland, Tiny Township, Tay Township, Victoria Harbour and Port McNicoll are expected to look at terms of the agreement at their Fespective councils this week. The Bite is subject to closure by. the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Oct. 31 if agreement between all INNSWMA members and Pauze is not reached before the end of the month. Councillor Lionel Dion, who sits on the NSWMA with councillor Larry Bellisle, commented at a meeting Monday night that if the the agreement expires in 1987. As permitted under the agreement to other NSWMA members fail to sign MOE approves of the way Pauze enter the site for the purposes of it "I suggest we're in trouble.' closes down the site in phases as the monitoring. They are: Henry (Midland town council studied the life of the agreement nears an end, Poehlmann, John Houston, and agreement Monday night at a the 20 per cent held back goes to Brent Madill. council meeting but councillors are expected to meet again tonight to vote on it.) Dion said negotiations with Pauze were friendly and that it 'is one "we can live with."' Under the agreement, the municipalities pay Pauze $14,575 a month during the first year of the term of the agreement, $15,303 in the second year and $16,068 in the third year. On top of that, each municipality pays $500 to Pauze to cover the cost of covering waste at the site with landfill. Originally, MOE specified that garbage was to be buried at the site to a depth of two feet. MOE subsequently decided it should be buried to a depth of one metre, more than a foot more than originally specified. However, 20 per cent of the extra $500 is to be held back by the municipalities to be used him. There are a few changes in the new agreement from one signed in 1981 by Pauze and four municipalities then using the landfill site. Use of the site is restrinted to residents of the six municipalities that are now members of NSWMA. No liquid wastes are hermitted on the site. No sewage waste is permitted except for the sludge from the Midland Sewage Disposal Plant - if Pauze is agreeable to accepting the sludge without a separate contract covering it. No derelict motor vehicles are accepted at the site unless deemed acceptable by Pauze and in accordance with MOE provisions. Three members of the Ratepayers Monitoring Committee established by residents of Tiny Township living Councillor John O'Hara asked Dion what happens after the Pauze Landfill Site is closed in 1987 at the end of the agreement. Dion replied, "IT suppose it would be closed out to the satisfaction of the MOE." As for finding a new site for North Simcoe's garbage after the Pauze site closes, Councillor Baker commented: "The search continues, just like the search for Mr. Spock."' Councillor Larry Bellisle commented-that after 1987, the site remains the property and the liability of Eric Pauze. The terms of the mediated settlement concerning the three year operation of the Pauze site have been fulfilled but, in the next three years, a new site for the area's Penetanguishene town council to "'close out" the landfill site when in the vicinity of the site are garbage must be found.
