Criteria not practical says
Grey township reeve
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Criteria of a landfill site, as handed down
by the Ministry of the Environment, are not
practical for rural municipalities says Grey
Township Reeve Leona Armstrong.
Municipalities are attempting to make the
Ministry aware of their concerns and seeking
support from Huron County Council and the
Rural Ontario Municipal Association
(ROMA).
Reeve Armstrong said representatives of
the township of McKillop, Morris, Howick,
Turnberry and Grey met on Jan. 10 to discuss
the Ministry's criteria.
"They're (Ministry) telling us - they're
really pushing - that we can''t bbrn
anymore," said Reeve Armstrong.
Besides not being allowed to burn anything
but wood -related materials, the refuse at the
land fill site is to be compacted and covered
with dirt. -
"They don't realize the costs," noted Mrs.
Armstrong.
She pointed out heavy equipment would
have to be purchased to compact the refuse,
the public 'would have to be educated to
separate garbage and it isn't feasible to cover
the refuse with dirt in the winter.
"From experience, if we don't burn, .ue
dump will be overrun with, rats," commented
Reeve Armstrong.
Another criteria that has upset municipali-
ties is that test wells on the boundary of the
site have to meet drinking water levels. In
Grey Township, the nearest well to the 7.5
acre site is a half mile away and there have
never been any complaints regarding the
water there or anywhere else in the township
said Mrs. Armstrong.
Municipalities are currently in the process
of developing land fill site development plans
which have to be submitted to the Ministry by
July 1. The Grey Township reeve said the
Ministry allotted $4,000 to her township to
develop the plan, but because of criteria
changes, it has cost the municipality over
$10,000.
Mrs. Armstrong would like to see the
Ministry break away from one blanket policy
regarding the land 011 sites and, as the rural
municipalities have sites away from urban
centres. "we're trying to get the government
to not be so strict".
She foresees the small dumps being closed
down if rural municipalities have to comply
with the Ministry's regulations. Also, if
residents are made to travel another 20 miles
to a land fill site. refuse may be dumped in
woodlots or places other than the land 011 site,
noted Mrs. Armstrong.
The Grey Township reeve expects the
letter seeking support will first be dealt with
by Huron County Council's executive com-
mittee, of which she is a member, and then
brought before council as a whole at its Feb. 3
meeting. She added that Howick Township
will bring the matter before ROMA at its
upcoming convention.
