Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-03-29, Page 11Local Ashfield delegation likes unanimous front with Council by PAT LIVINGSTON A delegation from the Ashfield Landfill Site Committee, headed by Don Alton, came away from the March 21 council meeting believing "council is supportive of our cause. It was nice to see a unanimous front (from council). It will be beneficial to our cause," says Alton. The deputation appeared before council, requesting a recorded vote on a written presentation of four questions regarding the proposed landfill site for Huron County in Ashfield Township. Reeve Allan Gibson, on the advice of the township solicitor, declared a conflict of interest, and vacated council chambers when the matter came up for discussion. Deputy Reeve Art Simpson assumed the chair. The first question asked for an unequivocal yes or no to: "Are you in favor of the proposed landfill site in Ashfield Township?" Simpson said it was "premature to come out one way or the other" until further drilling was done on the property. "We have discussed this among us," he admitted. "We were pan of the initial pro- cess to get a new landfill site in the county; said Simpson. "If it (landfill) is on A3, we would like to see all concerns addressed. "We're in favor of the county dealing with you people and addressing your concerns to your satisfaction. We're very much in favor of an upfront manner by the county," said Simpson. Alton called the current landfill system "barbaric." He asked council for any suggestions "on how we can drag our feet on this" until some alternative method of dispos- ing of waste becomes available. "If we could see some indication from governing bodies that this could be changed..." mused Alton. Councillor Paul Frayne referred to Canadian Agra technology for incineration, imported here from Europe. "Maybe technology will change to fit our standards," said Frayne. "I understand that if any new systems become available, with approval of MOE, the county would have to look at them," said Simpson. "The county is obligated, as the government changes, to explore other alternatives. As options become available, they are mandated to do so." "It's supposed to be a 40 -year dump," said Frayne, "surely this kind of garbage will be obsolete in another 10 years or so." Alton pushed for a response from council "to know if we have the backing of council." "I don't think it's fine as an offi- cial representative to say a straight no," replied Frayne. "We've got to be able to say 'We're not in favor because our ratepayers don't want Frayne was referring to only part of the municipality being respresented at the committee's initial meeting on March 14 and the meeting with the county officials on March 18. "We have to be able to explain our stand as a council," Frayne said. Frayne then read a motion: "The council of Ashfield supports the ratepayers of Ashfield.

The motion was carried. "If all issues are not addressed or dealt with to the satisfaction of people involved, I would take from that this council would be against the landfill site," said Simpson. The committee's request to use the roads department building for further meetings, when available, was approved. Their request for assistance of municipal office staff, when avail- able, for research on the proposed landfill site (photocopying, policy and information search on drainage maps and bylaws) was also Crime Stoppers reports various area occurrences Culprits destroyed a mailbox, post, and bracing at a residence on the 4th concession of Tuckersmith.

The fourth question was not so easily dealt with. The delegation expressed concern with the fact that the Ashfield reeve has to vacate county council chambers every time the landfill site is discussed. Gibson owns a small portion of the land under consideration. The majority of :if. A3 is owned by Jim Gibson. lite , cin mittee wants to ensure representation of the ratepayers at any county or committee meetings. Council was unable to give a definitive answer, but indicated they would look into finding a method of having a representative at those county meetings when the reeve had to declare a conflict. Alton said he believes council will be "on side" when the next test holes are drilled and a second opin- ion is asked for. "The game will be fair and square." Country Den Co Your 0,- 0.
