Storage space at the plant was nearly gone. The sludge is being car- ried by truck to the area's garbage transfer site. It is being stored there in a trench lined with thick plastic. The sludge will stay there until this area gets a new dump, and of- ficial estimates are that the opening of a new area dump is three years in the future. The first trench, or cell, will be filled by six month's worth of sludge. The first cell cost $30,000, $25,000 alone for the plastic liner. Future liners might cost less than $25,000, Midland's public works manager suggested. The public works department had to buy a liner at short notice The sludge had been trucked to the Pauze dump. That method of disposal ended when that dump was Closed at the end of October. The town had the choice of trucking its sludge to Toronto, or-stor- ing it here. The sludge can't be spread on fields because its percentage of metal, byproducts of local industry, is too high. No other dump will accept it. If the price of digging a trench, lining it and cover- ing it, is not reduced, the cost of storing Midland's sludge will be $70,000 a year for at least three years. When the new area dump opens, the sludge will be moved one last time. If the percentage of metal is reduced, the sludge could be hauled = os ale + es 'a bs es Lt am ss = Schick Disposable Razors 4 per pkg.
