Too many dump questions
News item: The Ontario Provincial
goverrunent has just announced that a
waste disposal plant will ,be located in
South Cayuga. Environment Minister
Harry Parrott stated of the two locations
under consideration'for this project. South
Cayuga 14 as chosen over Huron County..
because thc.. ProNincial .government had
already purchased,land in that area.
At the mention of Huron County in this
news release, all ears perk up. Then the
immediate reaction of relief -not us, but

Whew! And then you start to think about
a had Huron been chosen instead of South
Cayuga. yy hat could we have done about it?
What say do we actually haYe in the as
land is used in our area?
Theorectically, our elected members of
parliament are supposed to safeguard our
interests by their participation in govertl.

note that in this instance. both South

Watching us in their situation. Just not our

By pro y incial law . when such a decision
made. there is to be a public -hearing
under the Environmental Assessment Act.
At this hearing. the government has to
prove that this process is environmentally
safe. and that South Cayuga offers the best
possible, location for such an enterprise.
Unfortunate's. the government has the
power to exempt this law. (which makes
you wonder how this can be considered a

states that the need for this ,saste citsposal

this?) News update: He will hold hearings'

proposed waste disposal unit, obut not
whether to build it or not.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture,
always anxious to preserve farmiand,
wants other alternatives .tja be explored.
They have suggested the use oT a portable
waste disposal unit, ‘khich could be moved
to the site of the toxic waste manufacturer.
Both the Liberal and NDP parties agree
with the government that a aste disposal
unit is neegled. Butt they indicate that they
may oppose it in parliament. on the basis of
the location. If a vote of no confidence
results. all Ontario could he facing a yy inter
election very shortly.
In 1974, the Ontario Provincial govern-
ment purchased 25.000 acres of farmland
in the South Cayuga arca for S50 million
dollars. in anticipation of future urban
development. This orks out to S2000 an
acre. What yy as good bean ground in
Huron County worth in 1974? Would they
pay such a price for land that was not
arable.- Cy en to take it out of production?
Recent'. this land wit% appraised for S35
million. possibly dropping in %alio: because
the urban development did not niaterialize.
Valued now at $1400 an are, the
government proposed to sell it to a crow h
corporation. as this waste disposal sue. Is
this thesame government that decries the
loss of valuable farmland in Ontario?
Remember w hen Om arm Hy- d ro ex pro -

across Southern Ontario a feu years ago.'
Farmers held meetings. demonstrations
and hearings. while in 'the fields. hydro
workers calmly prmecded to survey. 'This

What is in this toxic waste, and if it's
radioactive, why put it in. anyone's
backyard, just for the sake of convenience
to the manufacturer? Do we really have the
right to stockpile huge garbage depots for
future generations to wort:y about,' in any
part of Ontario?
Remembering my high school Science.
weren't there WS known types of basic
chemical substances listed on that chart?
We were taught that all thins on earth are
either elements or compounds (combina-
tions of two or more elements). For
exantple. hydrogen and oxygen are ele-
ments.'and the compound water is made of
both hydtogen and oxygen. The chemical
composition of these toxic wastes must be
either elements or compounds too, so why
cant they be changed, through chemical
process. into a useful form for recyling into

if properly prepared.
1 %k as reading in a farm magazine
recentlY , of a farmer who fed his potatoes
to this cattle when the bottorn dropped out
of the potato market. From a nearby
chicken producer, he obtained chicken
litter. yvhich hc used as a protein
concentrate. and received a top grade for
his beef cattle at the market. In this way.
instead of looking around for someplace to
'dump his garbage. he turned it into a
profit. Old fashion ingenuity..
Jhsre arc too manyquestions without
ansvirers for the Ontario government to jam
through this project without a proper
hearing under the Environmental Assess-
ment Act. And while wc follow this
situation from a distance. we really can't
afford to be too complacent about it, when
we realize how easily this could have been
our pmblem. In the remote possibility that
South Cayuga wins their struggle with
1 nvoronment Minister Parrott. guess who
is second on their list of potential sites for
this project And kf they ever need a second
waste disposal unit...
