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. Cranbrook church meeting features pot luck dinner Correspondent MRS.
