However, it was decided; to try to educate the public first. Recent inspections, of the site py govertnnent officials indicated that garbage is not being sorted properly at home and non -burnable items are turning up in the burning pile. There now are three separate locations for trash at the East Wawanosh waste disposal site. The first is for non -burning plastics, tin must be rinsed three times and cans, spray containers — which flattened —shingles and tires. The second area is for burnable waste, such as wood or wood products, paper, twine or lumber and the third area is for scrap metal, refrigerators, freezers — doors must be removed — and fence wire. Waste management stu i for county begns in Jun • A two-year, $270,000 snwy ox pos- without this." existingcounty staff -- qualifies for sible waste management strategies Council also heard that the stud) 50 per cent for Huron County could be underway by June. The study will look at a variety of disposal technologies, as well as survey in detail what waste is generated in the county, where it comes from, where it goes, and who looks after getting rid of it. The research will result in a Huron County waste management master plan which sets a preferred direction for dealing with the county's gar- bage in the future, but stops short of detailed hydrological information on any proposed fill sites. Nor does the project include land acquisition for a dump. "I hope, we all understand that when we go into this master plan study we're not going to end up with a landfill site," County Engineer Dennis Merrall told Huron County Council at its regular April meethg. However, should the county or any of its municipalities eventually need such a site, the study Would be essential in jUstifying the Medi IVit, Merralp said 4neyer allows for repeated public par- ticipation as well as periodic county approvals as the plan unfolds. Council gave the first of these approvals when it accepted the waste management steering committee's recommendation to hire the consulting firm of Gore and Storrie to conduct the study at a cost of $270,000, and to hire a public participation co-ordinator, bringing the total cost to $270,000 over two years. Some councillors objected to hiring the co-ordinator, saying it is a' cost they weren't expecting, and asking if existing county officials could do the job. Mr. Merrall said hiring the local participation co-ordinator would actually reduce the overall cost. The Co-ordinator will be contracted to the county and will be doinginuth Of thrgithonstae. initittlign74 firresmeatrouidfo_or ch.

The first phase of the study, data collection, is expected to begin in June and continue until November. This stage includes public meetings to hear what garbage is created in the county, how much of it there is, where it comes from and where it goes. This includes an assessment of existing landfill sites to -determine what capacity remains and decide if any should be closed or expanded. Phase one will also study such disposal means as incineration, landfill and others in light of such local criteria as safetz- public ac- ceptance, effect 'on agriculture other land uses, as well as con& sidering the quetithAl of Mgt. During this stage, the pUblie partteipation .teIrdineter would - convene public ineetings throughout the county as well as discuss then go to county council for its acceptance. The next stage looks at potential future landfill sites or other possible' disposal methods and locations within the county. It also analyzes existing markets for garbage — some industries burn certain kinds of garbage as fuel. Such alternatives would be evaluated, as would the various administrative details of waste handling locally, and another report would be circulated and approved by county council. "This is where things get inter- esting," Mr. Merrall said. "This is where we end up with little colored blobs on maps." The blobs — which' indicate potential waste Management sites, landfill or others — would then be priorized in light of local geographic, social and Mechanical considerations such as bow the waste could be transported. The final phase will' set a direction for the county and make recom- mendations for how waste would best be handled in Huron County, " eAkil,r1 °,r,b3r * 4 •=1,.1? •;e: 414 ••••Ir..1'-' , • 1. 1 1 k".• •4 , ; ^ • • , Yisk Aecording cialPOlice u, 42, was -a passenger , her husbandG.eorge, 44 Th ,_010, were 86, near Guelp.
