60 attend landfill
meeting in Blyth
Where do we go from here?
This was the message sent to the
60 people present at the meeting on
Wednesday, May 26 in Blyth to
discuss the revised landfill siting
criteria. The need came about due
to the elimination of the six previ-
ous candidate sites deemed unsuit-
able for the county landfill.
Blyth Reeve Dave Lee, who is
also chair of the County Waste
Management Committee, provided
some background information stat-
ing why the sites had been elimi-
nated and that it is now necessary
to modify and then repeat the iden-
tification process with a revised list
of constraints. This is currently
underway and is referred to as
Stage 2C, he said.
Stage 2C will identify approxi-
mately half a dozen candidate sites
that are suitable for landfill. Stage
3A will then compare the sites and
identify a preferred site on the basis
of its environmental advantages
and disadvantages.
Stage 3B involves the gathering
of information for an Environmen-
tal Assessment and the submission
of the Waste Management Master
Plan to the county and the province
for approval.
Project Co-ordinator Craig Met-
zger, said that in determining the
location there are two key points to
remember — the process used must
be open and traceable and the com-
ments and input of the people must
be taken into consideration.
The public meetings; asecond
one was held in Hensall on Thurs-
day evening; were planned so
information on determining the
specifics of the process could be
provided to the public.
Mr. Metzger said over the next
year the first step will be to apply
exclusionary constraints to the
county which removes lands
unsuitable for a landfill site. Con-
sidered in the exclusionary con-
straints are such things as areas of
natural and scientific interest, sig-
nificant wetlands, and environmen-
tally sensitive areas.
The second step will be to apply
secondary constraints to identify
areas where it would be preferable
that a site not be located. They will
be ranked in order of importance,
Mr. Metzger said. Consideration

Community Play opening
With only one week until open-

busy making souvenirs to com-
memorate the occasion.
Those deft with the needle are
making a commemorative quilt.
Anyone involved with the play can
drop by the theatre office and sign
the quilt.
As well, Lewis Pitman, owner of
The Pottery, has been busy creating
commemorative mugs featuring the
Blyth and District Community Play
logo along with the Many Hands
logo.
A limited edition (no more than
