Leachate Report
The MOEE gave the MHLS
good marks on its leachate
transfer station, following a
few problems last year with
fumes from thc station enter-
ing neighbouring buildings at
Parsons Court in Goderich.
"The annual report on the
leachate transfer station
shows that the plant is oper-
ating satisfactorily. Problems
that occurred over the report- t
ing period appear to have 1
been resolved effectively.
There are no changes recom-
mended in the current moni- P
toring program or the mode m
of operation," stated the
report from Theo t
Beukeboom, groundwater
evaluator from the MOEE. es
