Recomummatisfistas
In 1982, twelve of twenty-three active
waste disposal sites in the Comity of Bruce
requhed plans of development mid °pent -
tion. Depending on dae fimal waste
management optima selected, these plans
should • be completed at the earliest
possible convenience.• ff these facrdies
camot be trought up to and openfted at a
"minimum" acceptable standard, alterna-
tive disposal sites should be used.
If used 4.0 serve increased population
levels, all existing disposal sites should be
re-examined from the standpoints, of hy-
• drogeology, engine g and environment-
al suite' Wily. Some sites requite inigrading
and may require the use of spec
engineering techniques if used as centra-
lized disposal sites.
Several proposed developments, includ-
ing the. Bruce Energy Centre and a
• National pa* in the Bruce Peninsula, could
become major sources of waste generation
over the next 20 years. These develop-
ments should be monitored, and at the
appropriate time. .debills governing the
handling and disposid of solid
generated from these developments
be resolved at the. County level.
It is recommended that theexis' ting
Id
landfill sit O in St Edmunds Township
continue to operate, whatever the option.
The site handles a significant quirntity of
solid waste from local sounxs and may
play an important role in the waste
management systean of the County
Brace should a proposed National path be
developed in the axes.
The estreat practice of disposing of
• sewage sludge on agricultuse lands should
continue provided the appropriate govern-
ment guidelines for quality can be met.
• Co -disposal of sewage sludge and solid
• waste should not be allowed, unless the
sludge is first dewatered •to an acceptable
=Ware content.
Those area municipalities now producing
• sewage sludge in the County of Bruce
should develop axitingency plants to facil-
itate the handling and disposing of any
sludge found to be imaccepatable for land
aPPlication-
Option 2 or Option 3 should form the
basis of a waste management plan for the
County over the next 20 year. Either option
would result in higher levels of environ-
mental control, improved efficiency and
reduced overall disposal costs.
AomnniifteebOuld be appointed to,
formalize a waste management plan for the
County. This plan should be reviewed
annually to ensure that the basic serviceing
needs of the County are being met.
Waste mariageinent study...
•ohm pagel,
September 1961, to inyesfigate the legal and
• practical implications of Bruce County
muffling the responsibiTity for solid waste
disposal in the county. .
The committee has been advised by the
MilLstry of the Environment that Bruce•
County is the, first county in the province to
approach waste managenient in this man-
ner. In this regard, the brmistry of the
Environment is closely monitoring the activ-.
ities and results of this new approa,ch to
waste management, Should it prove miccess-
ful, undoubtedly the Bruce County system
would provide a model for other sections of
the province. said Thompson.
•The chairman of the commit: tee advised
council that it is imps to remember that
the consultants' report is considering *20
year time paled.
• The report has been deliberately designed
to emphasize the long term problems •and
• potential of waste management in the
• county, stated Thoripson.•
The report contains three options for the
county to follow and these options have been
• reviewed by the county wa.ste management
•committee. The committee supports the
recommendations of the consultants' report
and recommends the report be, adopted by
the county council and the recommenalions
be approved.
There is definite need to continue the
•effort of the Waste Management Committee
during. the next session of county council,
o• bserved Thompson, in order to prepare the
final recommendation to council op the
methods of operation of waste management
and its administration over the next 20
years.
•The Omninittee, therefore, recommended
that the Waste Managemen Committee be
continued into the next of County
Council and that the members of the Waste
Management Committee still on council
remain on the commiftee. The committee
also recommended that any new members
should be appointed to give proper geog-
raphic representation on the committee.
The committee went on to suggest that
each member of county council take the
report back to their respective municipal
councils for study and distusskm. It was
suggested that the study and its implications
be brought tir the floor of Bruce County
Council for disc ission in two months time
with the consultant and/or the tormistry of
the Environment staff present ,to answer
any questions. •
