As closure of the landfill which
serves Wingham residents is loom-
ing, North Huron council has moved
to prepare a closure plan for the site
and how to deal with it once it
becomes a transfer station for
municipal waste.
The Wingham landfill site is one
of three within the new Twp. of
North Huron, engineer Art Clark of
Maitland Engineering in Wingham
told council at its second monthly
meeting last Tuesday evening. The
provincial environment ministry has
been threatening closure of the site
which is located in East Wawanosh
Twp. just outside Wingham, for the
last four or five years, but always has
granted a last-minute extension.
"The latest scheduled closing is
the end of May," Clark told council,
approximately six weeks away and
the township has had no word from
the province. Last year, the ministry

Byron Ellis, chief building official
for the Twp. of North Huron pre-
sented a draft of the municipality's
nutrient management plan at the sec-
ond monthly meeting of council,
held last Tuesday evening..
Ellis said that even though there is
no provincial plan and the county is
still working on a nutrient manage-
ment plan at that level, he said it
would be wise for North Huron to
have a plan in place to control the
disposal of waste manure.
To that end, Ellis said he had
looked at numerous other plans to
come up with one for North Huron
which is "not strict and not lax", but

The next euchre is Wednesday,
granted an extension, admitting that
staff were concentrating all their
time dealing with the Walkerton
water crisis.
Clark said there is a great deal of
work to do in a short amount of time,
with numerous issues to be ironed
out. During its last term, Wingham
council attempted to negotiate a deal
with Exeter, through the County of
Huron, to amend its plan of opera-.
tion to take Wingham's garbage, but
that has not yet been approved.
Clark admitted there are no esti-
mates on what it will cost to truck
Wingham's garbage to Exeter, not-
ing that approximately 800 tons is
picked up at the curbside each
year.
Several representatives of council
and Clark met at the Wingham land-
fill site on Monday morning to
review the situation. Ralph
Campbell, rural roads manager,
brought up ,a concern of nearby
landowners of plastic bags blowing
from the site onto their fields.
rather has the best ideas worked in.
Livestock are measured in units
for the purpose of the plan, Ellis
explained, noting that is a standard
measurement for determining quan-
tities of manure generated and odor
too. Farmers still will be entitled to
expand their operations, provided
the plan reflects the expansion and
they have the land base to do so.
Ellis says he has determined a
requirement of 25 per cent owner-
ship of land, as a way to help young
farmers. Council decided that a
minium of 21 hectares, or 52 acres,
will be required as a minimum size.
There also was some discussion
about registering plans on title as a
way of protecting the municipality
and exerting some control.

It was noted there are not a lot. of
intensive agricultural operations cur-
rently operating in the former East
Wawanosh Twp., but that may
change. Councillor Murray Scott
said he has a concern about protect-
ing the Maitland River and its tribu-
taries, noting there have not been
any problems and he would like to
keep it that way.
Councillor Arnold Taylor asked

how the plan gets circulated to farm-
ers. Ellis replied that when a farmer
comes in to apply for a building per-
mit, he is given a set of criteria to be
followed, including requirements for
nutrient management planning.
Farmers are well aware what is
required of them and that plans must
be professionally prepared. "It's just
a cost of doing busjness," said
Ellis.
