One fact which is clear is that 20‘ '■ of the wastes which were previously sent to the Beare Road site in Scar­ borough are. at present, un­ accounted-for that site is now closed down A further 2(1 is transported to the United States, but that border is expected to close to these wastes on December 31st of this year. No alternative disposal arrangements have ap­ parently been made Nor has the Government introduced legislation enabl­ ing inspectors to enter private premises and monitor wastes, in spite of the fact that Metro Council requested such legislation as b>ng ago as February 1977. The report utilizes a table giving the present whereabouts of Ontario's hazardous liquid wastes - a table which is questionable, to say the least, being based upon estimates and ap­ proximations. How can it be otherwise when the Ministry has not yet received replies to letters sent to some 240 industries requesting infor­ mation on their waste dis­ posal problems and prac­ tices” The picture is further clouded by the Ministry’s failure to implement an effective way-bill system in Ontario. Former Environment Minister George Kerr stated that industry should be responsible for its own waste disposal, absorbing the cost as a business ex­ pense.

Completion date for the project, which includes new office space and emergency department facilities, is expected to be around the first of the year. Contractor on the job is Kelly-Lyn Construction Ltd. and their tender bid was S528,836. The addition replaces the former Carling residence which was demolished due to its poor state of repair.

Regrettably, the Task Force has failed to address many of the problems raised in the report itself. No legislation is proposed to close loopholes in the Ministry of the En­ vironment’s way-bill system. There are no recommendations as to how the Province should acquire Three thefts are reported Several breakins are un­ der investigation by the Ex­ eter town police this week. G.H.

There are no incentives for established industries to re-design their processing facilities in order to recover, re-use, exchange, or sell their wastes. The report refers only to new in­ dustries. There is no provi­ sion for requiring im­ mediate replies from those industries which have been sent letters from the Ministry requesting infor­ mation on the whereabouts of wastes which are generated. The Task Force con­ cludes: “it would appear that no increase in the number of outlets will occur in the near future”. This conclusion, based on an enumeration of project proposals currently before the Ministry, is a further in­ dication of the very serious problems of toxic liquid in­ dustrial waste disposal in Ontario - problems which urgently require solution. A number of people have already questioned the wisdom of taking action bas­ ed solely on the recommen­ dations of the Metro/Provin- cial Task Force on Liquid Industrial Waste Disposal - recommendations which have been formulated on the basis of incomplete informa- tion provided by the Ministry of Environment. Such recommendations must, inevitably, fail to recognize the wide-ranging and serious waste disposal problems of the Province. The Metro Task Force has obviously not really been able to come to grips with the very serious en­ vironmental hazards posed by inadequate measures for the disposal of liquid in­ dustrial waste. Many of the concerns and questions raised in the Report must be given urgent consideration by the Stan- the late Gordon Aird of St. Catherines.

Mrs. Janke also stated that these funds would be put to good use in the Arthritis Research Program. It was mainly through the organizational efforts and dedication of Council Ac­ tivities Chairman John Paul Rau and the enthusiasm of members of the Council who sold the $5.00 tickets during Armstrong said funds for capital projects should be available after the freeze was over with most of the board feeling the ball dia­ mond project should be eligible for grants. Wintario funds would match the amount raised locally on a dollar for dollar basis thereby covering the $50,000 that the project will cost.
