T -A photo Hay dump should last eight to 15 years The future of the Hay Township dump site was the topic of discussion at the township council's second April meeting, Monday. Council met with Phillip Bye of the Owen Sound office of the ministry of the en- vironment. Also present were Zurich councilmen Bob Fisher, Leroy Thiel and Reeve Fred Haberer. Bye noted that Hay and Zurich havean agreement to use the dump but that it is Hay which holds the cer- tificate and is responsible for studies necessary for the operation of the dump. The environment worker said the purpose of the studies was to make sure there would be no off Bite contamination of adjoining land or waters, to describe and diagram the dumpsite and determine the capacity and term of useage at the dump. He noted that the Hay site was fairly small and said that he didn't anticipate any offsite impact problems. 111k noted the ministry was becoming more concerned wilib ; the operation of miitlicipal landfill sites and may begin ticketing dumps which are not operated properly. Hay has a five acre dumpsite.certified, with the provision it file a plan of operation by December 31, 1982, Bye said. Hay deputy reeve Lionel Wilder asked Bye for an estimate of the life of the dump. Bye said the life ex- pectancy depends on the impact at the property boundary and said the dump could probably be used for the next eight to 15 years. He pointed out that a 5 to 10 year life would give the township time to plan for a new site. He noted that some municipalities were faced with lengthy and expensive environmental assessment board hearings on new sites, with little time to prepare. Bye said that if the township planned to expand the site, ministry rules would force them into the position of having an assessment board hearing. Use by more than 1,500 people requires formal application to expand and a hearing Bye said. Bye said that depending on the problems encountered at the site the survey! needed to establish a plan of operation could cost. anywhere from $5,000 to ;20,000. A 84,000 grant is available to municipalities however. _ He suggested council do a Best Interest *1 7 I/2 % We represent many Trust Companies.

He noted it was up to council to decide if the studies be done on the existing dump or if a new site should be looked for. He added that there did not appear to be any major problems with the current dump site. Wilder suggested the two councils take a look at future plans for the dump site. The ministry represen- tative said the future of land- fill technology was still in doubt and that there may be a county -wide landfill system in future. He noted that the costs of environmental assessment for small municipal dumps was becom- ing prohibitive. Hay has four years left on a five year agreement with the landowner of the dump- site. Leroy Thiel suggested a more in-depth agreement bet- ween Zurich, the township and the landowner, be set up before too much money is spent on site surveys. . Bye.. noted the . ministry prefers the municipality own the land if a dump site is to be expanded. Council met with Isidore Ducharme concerning clean- out of ice and snow from the St. Joseph -Airport municipal drain. Ducharme said he had a backhoe in to clean-out the drain as overflowing water was threatening to wash-out a right-of-way road. He said that discussions with the engineer when the drain report was first read in- dicated that if snow was to be cleaned out a backhoe could be hired and it would be charged to the drain. A bill for about 8120 for the clean-out was sent to the township in March. Reeve Lloyd Mousseau said it was council's feeling that if the township pay for this clean-out, it would set a precedent for the entire township and council would be inundated with clean-out bills. He added that if it was to be charged to the drain it should SEEP POTATOES Have Arrived Most Varieties Available RED or WHITE Don't Be Disappointed...

He noted it was pro- bably cheaper for those on the drain to pay for the clean-out than to have to pay to restore a washed-out road. The reeve agreed saying that adding something to the report would create its own problems but there will be trouble every year if nothing is done. In other business: The tender of Hubert Miller was accepted for the position of dog enumerator. The $2.20 cost per dog was the lower of the two bids received. Council accepted a tile drainage loan application for ;11,000. The applicant, Robert Thompson was commended for the professional quality of the map submitted with the application. Leadership seminar featured Huron officers meet In H About 150 municipal politi- cians and employees attend- ed the Huron County Municipal Officers Associa- tion meeting in Hensall, Wednesday. Centrepiece of the annual spring meeting was a seminar on situational leader- ship and the film "What you are is where you were when." The seminar was conducted by Mrs. E. Lobo, the person- nel services director of the regional municipality of Peel. A hand-out survey sheet let those' in attendance assess their own leadership styles. The film was a documen- tary showing how people's values are formed by the social and economic condi- tions prevalent during the decades they grew up. It , noted the changing values of the workplace and illustrated how managers cart utilize the workers value system. Brian Jackson of the ministry of natural resouyces presented a film and slide show on the Ontario basic mapping 'program. Jackson outlined the needs for a standardized, accurate and up-to-date map system for the province. The film noted the basic maps being produced can be adapted to a specific municipality's map needs and can be expressed in computer graphics terms. The program is currently establishing a list of municipalities interested in having 1:2000 scale maps made of urban areas. With the municipality pay- ing a percentage of the costs the ministry will set up survey and aerial photography and will supply a starter kit, which includes base maps of the municipali- ty and a sample of a "cadastral" overlay showing legal survey information for assessment purposes. Jackson noted the municipality would then be responsible for updating the maps and for keeping watch on survey monuments set up for the system. The ministry will not begin mapping in Huron County un- til about 1984 Jackson said. The association elected of- ficers for the coming year. lfensall clerk Betty Oke, who was chairperson for the day's events and was the associa- tion's 1981 president, now moves to past president. Other executive are: presi- dent, Allen Campbell, Huron County (McKillop Township); first vice- president, Wes Ball, Howick Township; second vice presi- dent, Leona Armstong, Grey Township; one year, Paul Steckle, Stanley Township; two year, Elizabeth Bell, Ex- eter and three year, Bob Bell, Tuckersmith. Mrs. Oke noted that representative from other counties were so impressed with the leadership film seen at Hensall that they plan to show the film at similar meetings in their counties. As well as Huron County of- ficers, wardens from Perth, Middlesex and Lambton counties were in attendance. Ontario Liberal leader David Peterson joined the group for lunch. Stanley students to run booth Stanley Township council accepted tenders for six items or services at their April meeting. Council accepted the tender of Seaforth Motors for a one - ton truck. The cost of the new vehicle will be $8,998 plus trade-in. This was the lowest of seven bids. Radford Construction of Blyth will be supplying gravel, to the township at the cost of $2.24 per cubic yard. Only one quote on calcium chloride for township roads was received. Pollard Brothers will supply the material at a cost of $153.35 per flack -ton equivalent. Only one quote was receiv- ed supplying fuel oil, gasoline and deisel fuel to the township. Clerk Mel Graham said he felt the tender call was not attractive to dealers because of the township's poor and small facilities for fuel storage. Costs for the fuel are 35.23 cents per litre for deisel, 36.24 cents per litre for regular gasoline and 23.9 cents per litre for fuel oil. Two area students, Kim Hayter and Lori Consitt, will be running the concession booth at the Stanley ball diamonds this summer. The pair sent in two quotes: one for $25 rent; the other for no rent paid, but the pair would do clean up. Council ac- cepted the bid to run the booth and maintain the area. Julie Webster entered the cheapest of five bids to mow the grass at the ball diamonds. The township will pay $12 for one diamond and $16 for the other for grass cutting. Graham noted that tax ar- rears for 1981 are down to three percent. The clerk add- ed the amount outstanding was five percent at the end of the year but reminders col- lected the other two percent. The bills have been sent to the county for collection. In 1982 taxes, Graham said 88 percent of the first install- ment has been collected. "That was pretty good," he said. Council accepted the 1982 budget of the Clinton Fire Area board. Stanley pays 2.87 percent of the $67,105 budgets, about $197. Levy for the Ausable Bayfield conservation authority is $6,911 for this year.
