County council questions accuracy of projections The accuracy of some of the projections included in a waste man- agement master plan study, are being questioned by members of Huron County Council The questions were posed -at council's regular February meeting during discussion on the waste man- agement master plan and the lifetime projections for municipal landfill sites the county which were included in the plan's Stage 1 preliminary report. Hay Township Reeve Lionel Wilder said the study has stated the life expectancy for the Hay and Zurich landfill site is set at 1995 while the township itself expected the site to last until 2019, and won- dered how the 1995 date had been determined. Stanley Township Reeve Howard Armstrong said his township had figured its site would last until 2035, but the study says 1995. Exeter has two more phases plan- ned for its landfill site which did, not show up in the report, said the town's deputy reeve, Lossie Fuller. However, Stephen Township Reeve Tom Tomes joked that the study gave his township's facility a longer life than expected, so his council is happy that the others had been cut back to average out a longer life for the Stephen landfill site. Gary Davidson, the county's director of planning and develop ment and a member of the waste management steering committee, explained that the consultants had contacted several sources in making the estimates, including the ministry of environment, the muni- cipalities' own engineers, and ' the municipal clerks. In many cases, the MOE thinks the life expectancy of the facility is less than the estimates of the en- gineers, and the municipal clerks think the sites will last longer than the engineers do, Mr. Davidson said. County Administrator Bill. Haply pointed out that if the. MOE keeps changing the rules of site operations as it has in the past, the life expectancy might be shorter than any of these estimates. That statement raised the concern of Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle who said that with the MOE changing the rules, it raises the question of whether or not consultants' reports mean anything. The study could be a waste of ni®ney, he said, and unlesti there is a clear definition from the MOE, there is a question of which direction the county should be taking. Zurich Reeve Bob Fisher said it's bale that somebody set down some guidelines to jet the municipalities know if their should be spending money on the sites t c have. Bayfield Reeve t nd Huron County Warden $ave Johnston said the study d Y n't commit council to any course of action and if it recom- mends a solution in the future,it will be up to county council to vote on whether or rid to accept it. e NEW BUILDING OPENS — The new Investors Group building on Wingham's main street was officially opened by Mayor lan Moreland at a ribbon -cutting ceremony last week.
