Gerald Nobel, of Nobel Sanitation. made the clam a a MLS booed main last Thursday after beetg desiod vol to dump waste in In a bear to the board Nobel � c in Iossite ip„ nve ase pseamily picklesbt t we arc not able to dump this waste in their dumpsite as the town council will not pamt us acetas." "We are under the understanding that Hibbert has a by-law only allowing the contractor with the ucnckr for the Police Village of Dublin in their landfill." At the meeting, Nobel initially asked if he could be permitted ID dump refuse from four Hibbert Twp. customers in the Mid -Huron lis Mod wed. O t dime was se way a collector from a inalicipeitY odic/ them those am* named on their current emergency cattificate cx,uld be allowed to use the Landfill. Phil Bye, area supervisor for die of the Environment's Owen office, that no a►c other cvntrtors be allowed access. "Ibis just doesn't orcin fair. Ham 1 am putting all m y cards on the table by asking you guys far permission," sand Nobel. meld have just gone ahead and used it and nobody would have known." Board advisor Ken Hunter taunediatcly interjected and said that only those with MOE approval have been using the site. -Theie's a sign right at the front gate which says who is allowed to use the site." said Hunter "You fell acre which Palm ars abiding by thu/e mks," said Nobel. "You tell us who isal't and well put a sop to u," acrd Iirslsr. "Lf you did that," said Nobel, "yes wouldn't have any carriers using your landfill than." One board member stud, "You can't win your argument by saying that other people are doing the wrong w "Now is this thing being poles then. This Hibbert Township thing is just a drop in the bucket. If you want to extend the life of your landfill, there's your ace." Hunter noted that there has always been a problem when trying to determine where refuse origninated from once it is at the gate of the landfill. "When a truck comes into a site, there's no way you can tell where the garbage came from," mid Hunts "But if someone wash to whisper r Fast's (NNW, site s up) ear, titan maybe we cahave truck followed for a few days." Then Nobel asked for a letter W be sew to Hibbert TMrp. waking the Mid -Huron board's position clear. Aber Nobel again outlined the problems he was having with die township, Bye said such practices wit few and far between. "'Iberia is nothing in the Environmental Protection tion Act 10 keep diem from doing that but it would definitely be the exception rather than the rule," said Bye. Board member Phil Cornish said he did not think that a township had the right to refuse access. "1 don't think they have the right to deny a resident of Hibben Township access to their own landfill." '"They certainly would have to show good reason for it," added Bye. No CODE members to sit on Mid -Huron landfill board BY MIKE WILLISCRAFT Although a position was offered, no members of CODE (Citizens Opposing Dump Expansion) will be sitting on Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board's Public Liaison Committee. The board requested that a member of CODE become part of the committee but Steve Baker, said in a later that his group would not become involved. Board members thought that a CODE member would be able "to provide input to the Board concerning the operation at the Mid -Huron Landfill Site," according to Baker's Oct.18 letter. Baker did not see it that way. "How can a CODE member opposed to the new unassessed dump site sit on a committee whose purpose is to aid in the operation of this new site?" Baker writes. "Unless the stated purpose of the Public Liaison Committee changes, CODE feels that it cannot rationalize submitting a name at this time." BUDGET MISCUE The landfill site board underestimated thea equipment rental and maintenance expense. To October's month end, the accumulated expense was almost $22,700 while $15,000 had been budgeted. A low estimate on tipping fees may help balance the ledger. Revenues from upping fees were estimated at $25,000 but already nearly $30,000 has been collected. It is expected that another $5- 7,000 could be taken in. STUDIES NOT FOUND Studies requested from the Mid - Huron board by CODE may not be available for some time. In a Nov. 5 letter Baker notified the board that his group would like copies of studies "whereby investigations were carried out to deternline the suitability of alternate waste disposal methods to landfilling at the Holmesville site." Baker is also seeking a "copy of studies whereby these alternate methods were proven to be having 'more impact' than landfilling at Holmesvillc." The landfill board's legal counsel, Harry Poch, of the Toronto law firm of Gardiner, Roberts, notified Baker that he was not in posession of the studies. Baker's leder had been forwarded to Poch by the board's secretary Larry McCabe. "I do not believe 1 am in possession of the materials that you have requested. However, I will attempt to ascertain where they may be found," wrote Poch. "Unfortunately, I will not be able to get around to this matter for the next several weeks due to my hearing schedule." McCabe noted that he was surprised by Poch's response, descibing his letter to Baker as "terse". Baker has said that he does not believe that the studies were ever done. CONTINGENCY Jim Yardley, an engineer with consultants Conestoga -Rovers Assoc., says a continency plan should be completed this week. Yardley told the board that he is awaiting data from three communides. After that information is received he will be able to provide a "complete package of updated costs," Yardley said. MOE CRITIQUE Theresa Gavin, an environmental planner with the MOE, provided the board with a critique of their draft Environmental Assessment Act exemption request. A four-page letter outlined her concerns about the draft. "This is just a comment on our draft," said Yardley. "It just shows what we should fine tune for resubmission. It makes sure that we're all on the same wavelength." Most of the concerns dealt with the need for more clarification and explanation of some points. More supporting material, tables, was also requested. Huron County to move on in waste management study BY MIKE WILLISCRAFT Huron County will now be able to move on to the next step in its Waste management plan and begin looking for a suitable landfill site ffter the passing of By-law 57. The by-law has also given counter council additional, "certain powers", says county clerk -administrator Nigel Belkhamber. "It will give the county control ova new sites or enlargement of sites. We haven't taken over Mid - Huron, Site Board) authority though," said Bellcham- ber, a member of the Huron County Waste Management Steering Com- mittee. "If Ashfield (Twp.) wanted to enlarge their site, they would need county approval, hypothetically. So would a private operator, although there aren't any currently in the county." A rare set of circumstances led to the by-law being passed early in the agenda as opposed to the end of the meeting when by-laws are usually dealt with. "We did something this time. Sometimes when we wait till the end of the meeting we lose a couple of councillors. We thought it was important that we deal with it while everyone was there," said Bellchamber. Part of the reason the presence of county councillors was important are the voting requirements under the Municipal Act. When changing the responsibilities of a local municipality two-thirds of the vote must be carried. As well, a majority of the participating municipalities must approve the vote. "There aren't many instances where the county can take powers away or change the relationship with the municipalities but this is one," said Bellchamber. "County council was far and away in agreement with the policy. The Exeter councillors would have liked to have seen more financial 1)elicidus 'and full of flavour, the combination of ingredients malars this appetizer look as colourful as a brightly lit Christmas tree.

Now, Bellchamber said, county :ouncillors will be able to set their kites on adopting a master plan for waste management. "In the next few months ,we will be getting a report from a consul- tant regarding a site," said Bellchamber. "We need to be able to that we (the county) are the people you will be dealing with. Now we can do that." and Lossy Fuller were the only two opposed to the by-law, which was passed 30-2 in a recorded vote. At the county council meeting Nov. 8, Mickle said he was con- cerned about how a possible landfill would be financed. He also ques- tioned the tax structure which could force taxpayers to pay on two levels for landfill services. "We have to work out an e- quitable agreement. Bill Mickle's comments are quite right," said Manor residents to sell tickets Tickets will be on sale, next week for the Seaforth Manor Nursing Home's Residents Council Raffle. The prizes include a hand-knit ladies sweater donated by Grace Stadelbauer, a grocery basket donated by resident's families and staff members, a floral arrangement donated by Hildebrand Flowers and a quilted pillow donated by Yenpy Dimmaline.
