The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-07-06, Page 10Huron's waste plan
The preparation of the Huron County
Waste Management Master Plan, which
will provide a comprehensive, long term
waste management strategy for Huron
County, is now underway. It is being
undertaken by the Toronto consulting firm
of Gore and Storrie Ltd.
The, Master.. Plan will consider waste
reduction, recovery, reuse, and recycling
as options to minimize the use of landfill
sites, as well as identify preferred loca-
tions for waste facilities and an overall
system for waste management.
The consultants are scheduled to com-
plete the Master Plan by August, 1990, at a
cost of $227,328. One half of the total cost of
Master Plan preparation is funded by the
Ministry of Environment.
A Master Plan is necessary under the re-
quirements of the Ontario Environmental
Assessment Act to acquire new or expand-
ed waste facilities. The situation is becom-
ing critical in this county since many of the
garbage dumps now have a projected life
expectancy of less than 15 years.
The Master Plan willefie carried out in
four stages. The first stage will involve col-
lecting land use information, preparing an
inventory of waste generation, evaluating
existing facilities and developing evalua-
tion criteria by which potential waste sites
will be assessed. This stage of the Master
Plan will be completed by the end of this
year.
The remaining stages will focus on iden-
tifying and assessing suitable areas for
landfill, and developing a system for waste
management which incorporates accep-
table methods for waste disposal in Huron
County. An important part of the Master
Plan will be to develop options to reduce
the amount of garbage which must be
landfilled.
The involvement of community
residents is critical to ensure the develop-
ment of a plan which is suited to the needs
and requirements of Huron County. Com-
munity input will be sought for ideas and
information about issues which should be
taken into consideration in the Master
Plan, and, in providing comments on
reports prepared during each of the stages
of the Master Plan.
To facilitate community awareness, in-
formation and involvement in the Waste
Management study, a Waste Management
Co-ordinator, Jo -Anne Richter, has been
hired by the County. Her role will focus on
providing information to the community
about the various aspects of the Master
Plan study, and working with groups and
individuals who wish to have involvement
in the study. Members of the community
will be encouraged to take an active role
at any point during the course of the study.
Public meetings will be scheduled
periodically to provide ,updates on the
Master Plan, and to review preliminary
reports prepared during each of the stages
of the Master Plan process.
Community groups or individuals who
would like further information, or who
would like to meet to discuss issues
relating to waste management, are asked
to contact Jo -Anne Richter through the
Huron County Department of Planning
and Development, 524-2188.
