on waste management study
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1989. PAGE 3.
Huron county residents will get

One report of the Huron County
Waste Management Master plan at
a meeting in Blyth Thursday,
January 19 at Memorial Hall.
The meeting is one of two set up to
gain public input into the plan which
is being prepared by a consulting
company at a cost of nearly a quarter
of a million dollars. A second
meeting will be held January 30 at
the Hensall arena. Both meetings
will begin at 7:30 p.m.
This preliminary report which
takes an inventory of the current
waste management situation in the
county estimates that within 20
years all landfill sites currently
operating will be full. The site with
the longest usable lifetime is
estimatedtobethe Blyth-Hullett
landfill site which is projected to last
until 2008. On the other hand
Seaforth and Tuckersmith landfill
site is totally full and has been
closed. Wingham, Turnberry Town
ship and Goderich Township are all
projected to run out of space by 1990.
The study estimates that 42,000
metric tons of waste were disposed
of in Huron in 1988. The study
predicts the volume of waste will
increase over time so that between
1991 and 2010 a total of 880„000
tonnes must be disposed of.
While the report says the cost of
disposing of waste is lower in Huron
county than other parts of the
province, it estimates those costs
will increase over the coming years.
Already, the report says, it cost
county residents nearly $1 million in
waste disposal expenses in 1987, up
25 per cent from 1985.
The report lists alternatives that
will be considered in upcoming
stages of the study ranging from
methods of reducing the amount of
