Clinton will not join landfill site Clinton council unanimously declined an earlier invitation from the municipalities of Seaforth and Tuckersmith to join them in a new landfill site. Instead, they will stay with the town's present site located in Holmes- ville. ill tell council now that I don't like it." said Clinton Mayor John Balfour. "it's too close fora municipal dump. it's too expensive and there are too many unknowns.' At council's September 15 meeting, Burns Ross of B. M . Ross and Associates presented Clinton Council members with some facts about the Seaforth-T ckersmith proposed landfill site located less than one mile from town His purpose was also to invite Clinton to pin, making it a three municipality site. At that time, council decided to wait until more information could be obtained regard- ing the future of the Holmesville site. However. Mr Ross emphasized that Seaforth and Tuckersmith would like an answer in the near future so they could proceed with their plans To comply with this request. council asked their Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to look into a major concern • could the proposed site contaminate Clinton's well water supply' in turn. the PVC instructed the ground water engineering firm of International Water Consultants ltd. to conduct a preliminary assessment of the contamination possibility Their findings were based on a general hydrogeologic setting according to informa- tion and reports on file, and in the tetter from the consultants to the 1?'UC, they noted. "The proposed landfill design, supporting investi- gations and accompanying reports have not been reviewed and therefore we cannot comment specifically on the proposed site." However. they did go on to say, "Assum- ing proper landfill design. operation and monitoring. the possibility of contamination of the Clinton Municipal Wells from the proposed landfill appears unlikely..." After reading the letter. aliidi wars presented at the October 20 council meeting, Mayor Balfour reiterated his feelings about too many unknowns ' " W e simply don't have enough pertinent facts," he said Councillor Bonnie Jewitt, Who is a member of the Holmesville Landfill Site Committee, told council it would be more expensive if the town were to j'iin the proposed site instead of staying with the Holmesville site. "As the largest municipality using ft, we would have to pay our share of the costs so it would be more expensive in that way. Plus, the life expectancy of that site is only20 years with two municipalities and would shortened with three ft appears, the Holmesville site has another 10 years," she explained GI their motion, council declined the invitation, adding, " ..the Seaforth-Tucker- smith Landfill Site Committee and the Ministry of the enslrrmmerit be requested to provide the Town of Clinton with any pertinent information resulting frefn any tests performed on the proper„ cif ode in the future, due to the dose proximity of the proposed Seaforth-Tuckersmith Landfill Site to the boarders of the Town of Clinton and concerns regarding the future contamination of the municipality's water supply."
