The minister also said a site in Huron was number two on the list of possible locations. Mr'. Davidson told county council the ministry has been extremely secretive and his department knew nothing atleut a proposed Hurpn site until a daily newspaper calied Mr.- Davidson this week to ask about the Huron location. Mr. Davidson commented It seems difficult that the ministry could have done any testing with Out some information leaking to the planning department or the warden of the county. The county planner said he is concerned that because of the great opposition to the South Cayuga site on environment grounds that the ministry may fall back to their number two site which is.the Huroniocation.. The South Cayuga Site, 1122 kilometres (I mile) in circumference, lies within a 12,800 acre tract south of Hamilton which the Ontario government purchased six years ago for $30 million. The original intention was to locate a new city on the • 1980 •• <> land but the plan failed to materialize. The land will be used for a clay -based landfill, a solidification plant, a laboratory to test liquids entering the site and storage of some dangerous wastes, including cancer -linked PCBs. Dr. Parrott told rep:kers be wants to burn PCBs at the site once technology is per- fected. Mr. Davidson said he ha.. no idea where in the county the plant would be located if Huronwas chosen as the site. He said the enviror- meirt-minister-has hinted. the site is located somewhere between Godetich and Kincardine. Mr. Davidson said he would like to learn if there ever was a • list of possible sites or whether the ministry chose the South Cayuga site because they already own the land. He _a said he wonders if Huron was ever on the list. Dr. Brian Lynch; ildron's Medical 'Officer of Health, told council members there is a cause for concern about the health risks involved if a disposal site were to be located in Huron. He referred to the health problems created by the Love Canal site and the dump in Hamilton which have made news headlines in recent months. Dr. Lynch said he is also concerned because the Ministry of Environment is considering dropping the chlorination of human waste. He said !he would support an inquiry into the ministry's intentions 'and suggested that information received by the County's planning de- partment be referred to the department of health. Dr. Lynch indicated it is not unusual for the ministry to act so secretively. He said a friend of his, a Medical Officer of 'Health in Brant County, learned that a plant to process PCBs was to be located in his county on the television news one evening./ Jack Stafford, deputy -reeve of rflowick, who raised the question concerning ,the Huron site at the council meeting, suggested the county council pass a re- commendation that the county does not approve of a waste disposal site in Huron.. "We don't want their dump here," he said. "We're an Agricultural area." Clerk-tteasurer _Bill Hanly suggesrbd council would bedrawing attention to Huron if they passed such a recommendation and if the prevince cannot go ahead with the South Cayuga site, the council's recom- mendation could backfire and the ministry would choose Huron because of • county council's objection. planning board for con- Bob Allen made a motion He suggested the matter be sideration. that the matter be referred to referred, to the county's Gederich's deputy -reeve the county's planning board IP* Shopca.reju-lly and keep to consider .what action will be taken. .the joy in Christmas II1 Christmas can be an e3ccit- our seasonal buying frenzy freely, without the con: season of gqodwill and gen- result in a bleak January, straints of our normal careful ing time.
