on govt assistance •
By T. Marr
Homeowners who are victims of ureafor-
maldehyde foam insulation (HUFFI) were
told at a meeting; on Monday, night that they
have three options through which they may
receive money from the Federal Govern
ment. .
Speaking to a capacity crowd at Central
Huron Secondary School. in Clinton, Ed
Smee, president of HUFFI Ontario and a
member of the Nationtial Advisory Council of
UFFI, told the audietice that theirfirst op-
tion was to "simply. depend upon getting
some assistance from the government."
Mr. Smee added that the assistance
"might amount to $10,000 but will be ° a
minimm f.$5,000."
Presently the legislation that is being
drafted .td aid a 1 homeowners calls for a
$5,000 assistance program. But according to
Mr. Smee the Advisory Council has "obtain-
ed a commitment from the Minister of Cor-
porate
orporate Affairs, Andre Ouellette, that he will
act .to try and -secure other funds from the
Government departments to. augment the
$5,0110.»
Mr. Smee added "in addition to this, we
(the advisory council) have the assurance
from the minister that they (the govern-
ment) .will take action with the chemical
companies to provide further financial
assistance!'
"When all of these maybes are tacked on
to the existing $5,000 limit, it appears there ,'
, .
might be the possibility of approximately '
$10,000 in assistance from various sources
under the government program", Mr. Smee
explained.
For • those people who are receiving
payments from. the Federal government,
such as .Old Age Supplement allowances, ,
there is a possibility of further assistance.
According to Mr. Smee, "there is the
possibility that through the Canada Com-
munity Development Projects, labor could
be provided without charge to the
homeowner. This would enable work„ to be
done on most houses, including those where
total removal is necessary, but it . is ex-'
petted, this group will constitute a small
percentage of the total number of
homeowners."
Mr. Smee added that "whether this will
become a reality or not, it is, too early to
say."

the trustee allowance.

,ember 1, 1983 will increase five/ per cent to
5375 and the allowance effective December
1, 1984 will increase to 5394 a month. The
chairman of the board will receive an addi-
tional 50 per cent of the trustee allowance in
each of the two years.
In other business the board receivedthe
enrollment report dated September 30. Total
elementary enrollment in the 'county is 7,095
up from 7,030 in .1981. The secondary
enrollment is 3,560 down' from 3,636 and the
trainable retarded enrollment is down to 30
from 35 students in 1981.

Chant completes phase one
of wastedisposal study.
The Ontario Waste Management Corpor-
ation has completed the first phase of their
Facilities Development Process, in their
implementation of a province -wide program
for the management of liquid . industrial
waste and hazardous wastes.
'Phase One has examined what the waste
management system might consist of and
lays out the issues the OWMC must examine
before deciding on a preferred waste
management system for Ontario, according
to Dr. D. A. Chant, chairman and president
of the Ontario Waste Management Corpora-
tion (OWMC). „
The special report summarizes the results
of the studies conducted by the OWMC staff
and consultants over the past eight months.
The main findings includes
OWMC's liquid industrial waste and
hazardou's waste management\ system is
likely to have at least three principal physical
components: physical/chemical treatment
facilities, an incineration process and a
secure landfill: •
While there is a wide range of possibilities
- most in significant industrial waste gehera-
tion areas of central and southwestern
Ontario - there are several key factors
contained in the information collected to
date that will ,influence this decision:
To minimize the costs and risks associated
with waste transport, the treatment facilities
should be located as dose to. major waste
generation areas as possible. Since approx-
imately 70% of all liquid industrial waste
and hazardous waste is generated in the
highly industrialized region around the
western end of Lake Ontario, treatment
facilities in particular would be most cost
effective if located near this area. The
engineering and technical information. col-
lected to date suggests this may be feasible.
Approximately 58% of the estimated.
