BELGRAVE - East Wawanosh
Township roads superintendent
Ralph Campbell told council he has
some serious concerns regarding
the landfill site.
The roads superintendent asked
council if they should continue to
accept items that still contain re-
frigerants. He told council they fi-
nally have all the refrigerants re-
moved from the items already at
the landfill site.
"Are we still going to accept
these items?" he asked council.
The roads superintendent said
they could segregate the materials
with freon in them by placing them
in a fenced -in area. He noted that
some people cut out what they
think is copper wiring. However,
he added that the wiring is acivally
copper -plated steel.
"We are responsible for the fre-
on."
Coun. Jim Campbell said he
didn't see a problem in still accept-
° ° ing these materials as long as they
were red -tagged. •
Roads superintendent Campbell
said the freon has to be removed by
a qualified person.
Coun. Campbell said putting up
a fenced -in area for refrigerators t
and other items containing fi__..
will be another expense for the h
township ratepayers. He added b
even if a fence was put up there are d
still people who would abuse it.
Roads superintendent Campbell a
said there are people who do honor f
life, and are concerned about burn-
ing up the ozone layer. He added p
freon does burn the ozone layer off. a
Coun. Campbell said the East
Wawanosh landfill site is one of the
last sites in the region to accept
fridges with freon.
He then made a motion that all
items containing freon be red -
tagged before being accepted at the
landfill site, and that the freon has
to be removed by a qualified per-
son.
During a later discussion of
council, roads superintendent
Campbell asked council for some
manner of controlling the amount
of garbage being brought to the
landfill site.
The suggestion of user -fees and
bag tags came about. Council made
the motion that residents would
have to use tags for their garbage to
encourage reduction and recycling.
After some further discussion,
Coun. Fred Meier made a motion
that each household in the township
would be given 50 free (garbage)
bag tags.
"Once those 50 tags are used up,
the people will have to pay for ad-
ditional tags," said the councillor.
Campbell said the best way to
get the people to use the tags would
be to set an implementation date.
Council passed a motion that will
have the bag tag program start Feb-
ruary 1, 1996.
He added that he would check
he fee charged to the East Wawa -
nosh Township ratepayers in the
amlet of Auburn. Once that has
een done, the actual figure will be
ecided upon for the township.
The roads superintendent will
Iso be making up a fee schedule
or tires being dumped at the site.
There will be a different rate for
assenger vehicle tires, tractor tires,
nd truck tires.

BELGRAVE - Tri -County Lumber
has finally received approval from
East Wawanosh Township council
to build its sawmill.
Township clerk -treasurer Wino-
na Thompson told council that the
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB),
at a recent OMB hearing, the mo-
tion was dismissed as the two sides
had reached an agreement regard-
ing the property at Part Lot 28 of
Concession 6.
Peter Parent of Tri -County Lum-
ber gave council a site plan for the
property.
Brian Treble of the Huron
County Planning Department said
that he had viewed the original site
plan, earlier in the month, and there
were a couple of concerns. Howev-
er, a revised site plan was present-
ed to council last Tuesday.
Council accepted the site plan
agreement and passed By-law 26--
1995 which changed the zoning of
the property. The site plan agree-
ment will be registered on the title.
The township clerk will also in-
form the OMB that Tri -County
Lumber has adhered to the OMB
regulations.

ways to recoup our costs, especially
in the light of provincial budget
cuts."
Campbell will also be looking
into the fee schedule of other mu-
nicipalities for putting in drive
ways and culverts.
He said that the township will
start charging people for this ser-
vice next year.
While all councillors were in fa-
vor this user -pay fee, Coun. Jim
Hunter said that everyone having a
driveway or culvert put in should
pay.
The roads superintendent said
that he is trying to keep his depart-
ment's costs down, so he is not
calling anyone in unless he abso-
lutely has to.
"If December is not too bad
(weather wise), we (the roads de-
partment) will not go too far into
the red," he'said.
He added that there is still about
$15,000 remaining in the roads de-
partment budget for December. .
