PAGE 8, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1989 Proposed ready mix plant raises concerns By Kim Hawley More than a dozen people are expected to voice concerns over a proposed ready mix plant at a public meeting scheduled for next Monday night. Miller Paving Ltd., which operates an asphalt plant of the east side of Thickson Rd., north of Taunton, has proposed a ready mix concrete plant for the same location. The proposal, according to a resident living in the area of the proposed site, has raised con- cerns over the potential danger of increased noise, air and water pollution from the plant. Richard Kapuscinski, who lives on Anderson St. directly west of the proposed site, says 'many residents are objecting to the proposed plant, "based on various grounds. "This is an emotional, intellec- tual and environmental issue," says Kapuscinski. Because the proposed site is in A LUXURIOUS SELECTION Few things in life are as rewarding as a mink fur.

"I don't know what types of air and water problems surround a ready mix plant. But I do know, by my logical thinking, there is more of a potential danger of pollution than if the ready mix concrete plant, or any industrial plant, was not put there." Although he and many other' residents in the area of the pro- posed site are on a well wàter system, Kapuscinski is concerned drinking water, and products made with the water, could be affected if any contaminants from the plant ended up in Prin- gle Creek, and later into Lake Ontario. "Not only is this an issue that affects the immediate residents to the plants, but it's an issue that affects all Whitby resi- dents." He adds, «It's an issue that affects anyone else who drinks the water from Lake Ontario. 'With all the information we're SCRATCH & SNIFF NO ODOUR? That's what you get with Airx odour eradicators.

"There must be other places to put these buildings,"he suggests. While Kapuscinski says many of his nearby neighbors are also concerned about the potential increase of air pollution, and others are concerned about the increased noise that would be created by the trucks entering the site to be loaded up with the ready mix concrete, he says, "I, personally don't want it there because of the potential danger of contamination to Pringle Creek." * CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF WHITBY IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT, R.S.O. 1980, c. 337 ANDIN THE MATTEROF LANDS AND PREMISES AT THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL ADDRESS IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
