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 By Margaret Stapleton Wingham Advance-Times 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 Chamney; low lady, Freda Johnston; high man, Ross Turvey; second high man, Dennis Leddy; lone hands, John Pollard; low man, George Inglis. 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.

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.
