Waste Management Study will take 2 years
Continued from page 1
the already high cost of the contract
for doing the study and wondered
what the cost of undertaking the
project was going to be.
BillHanly, county clerk-trea
surer said the cost would probably
range in from $250,000 to $260,000
later correcting himself to say that
estimate was probably low and the
cost might be a maximum of
$275,000. Thecounty’sshare of
these costs would be 50 percent
with the Ministry of the Environ
ment picking up the other half.
Robert Fisher, Zurich reeve
questioned the need for the hiring
of the co-ordinator. Mr. Merrall
said the county could have hired
the consultant to do this work but it
would have cost more money. If a
local person is hired to do the
legwork involved in preparing the
study it can save the county a lot of
money. There is a tremendous
amount of detailed information to
be gathered and sent to the
consultants, he said. The county
engineer could do this work but if
he did the county would likely have
to hire an assistant.
Tom Tomes, Reeve of Stephen,
pointed out that by hiring someone
outside the county staff, the county
is eligible for a 50 per cent subsidy
on costs, a grant that wouldn’t be
available if regular staff did the
job. Dave Johnston, Reeve of
Bayfield also pointed out that the
person to be hired would be on a
contract and would not become an
employee of the county.
Mr. Merrall said that having one
person as a co-ordinator would also
mean there was one person local
councils could contact when they
had questions or problems. There
will be a lot of time spent meeting
with councillors and consultants
charging by the hour, he pointed
Londesboro
sidewalk
tenders let
Tenders for the construction of
sidewalks in the village of Londes
boro were approved at the April
meeting of Hullett township coun
cil on April 5.
The tender of Du-Kan Contract
ing Ltd. of Lambeth was accepted
for the sidewalk construction. The
cost of the construction is $22,700.
Council also accepted the tender
of Radford Construction of Blyth to
supply, crush and deliver 22,000
cubic yards of “A” gravel at a price
of $3.20 per cubic yard.
Ratepayers of Auburn were on
hand for a reading of the prelimi
nary report of the Auburn drain.
Council moved to have engineer
Henry Centen bring in a report for
the Auburn drain to include the
residentsof Goderich St. West.
The drain is to include cellar drains
and a five-year storm size, subject
to there being a valid petition of
property owners.
A special public meeting to
consider a zoning change was held.
When council resumed its regular
session a motion was passed to
accept the proposed zoning appli
cation request from Mary Ann
Drostfor Part Lot 8, Concession 1,
and to schedule a public meeting
for May 17 at 9 p.m.
Council voted toturn down an
invitation from the City of Toronto
to offer the township as a possible
site for garbage from the city.
A by-law authorizing the Reeve
and Clerk to sign the operating
agreement for the Blyth and
District Community Centre was
approved by council.
The tender of Bryan Gross to cut
the grass at four township cemeter-
ies at a cost of $10 per hour was
accepted.
Council held a special meeting
on March 28. Council voted to
advertise for Experience ‘88 Pro
gram supervisors in the two local
papers.
out.
But when Mr. Merrall mention
ed the need for the person to be
involved over two years when
earlier the term of one year had
been mentioned. Reeve Mickle
was on his feet again asking if the
term was one year or two and
saying it was hard to pin down just
what was involved in the project.
He said he recognized the need to
do something about the waste
problem but was worried about the
escalating costs. “We’re starting
to talk a quarter million plus, plus
dollars and I think we need to know
what exactly we’re getting into,”
he said.
Mr. Merrall and Dr. Gary
Davidson, county planning direc
tor, were asked to do a quick
explanation of what was involved
in the project. The first stage
beginning about June and continu-
ingtoNovember, Mr. Merrall said,
would involve collecting the data,
studying the existing types of
wastes, assessing the existing
waste disposal facilities in the
county looking at their possible
capacity and looking at different
potential disposal methods,
among other things. A public
participation process and an edu
cation process to make people
aware of the serious problems in
waste management would also be
involved in the first stage.
A report from the first stage
would go to county council and the
council would have a choice of
whether toproceedtoStage 2 or
not.
Stage 2 would look into potential
waste management sites and
examine potential markets for
things like recycled garbage. It
would look into waste management
administration and what level of
government should be looking
after waste management. The
cou nty was not going into the study
with the preconception that it
should be the county level of
government that should admini
ster waste disposal, he said.
Part of the second stage will also
include a ranking of potential sites
for disposal. This will probably
finish in September 1989, he said.
This report will also go to the
councilbefore the third stage is
undertaken.
This stage will include informing
the county of what is being done in
the formation of the Master Plan
and how it is being done. It will
recommend what to do in what
order and look at the alternatives in
order of preference. The end of the
.'stage will result in the Master Plan
which will go to the county council
and the Ministry of the Environ
ment and be presented at public
meetings.
Dr. Davidson pointed out that all
through the program there will be
public participation as well as input
from municipal councils and
groups such as the Federation of
Agriculture.
He also pointed out there is a cost
control in the program since the
county can call off the study at the
end of any of the stages. The entire
study should take 24 - 26 months
Dr. Davidson said. The contract for
the public participation co-ordina
tor will be renewed yearly and the
co-ordinator will likely be required
for two years at a cost of $23,000 to
$25,000 a year.
Both the hiring of the co-ordina
tor and the consulting firm were
approved by council.
