The decision on which option is more favourable was not made at the August 21 meeting because there wasn't a quorum. Reports were read but no motions could be passed. Supervisor's Report Landfill supervisor Frank Postill gave his report for the past two months. (There was no July meeting of the MHLSB). Spots around the pond at the site have been filled in and seeded. "The grass is coming up." said Pt still. Catch basins were placed in the three culverts going into the pond. The south side of the land- fill has been graded. "We might have it seeded this year." he said. Haaardous Waste . Information from Kon Hunter, .commissioner of works for Goderich, was con- tained in the monthly report regarding holding a "Hazardous Waste Day" at the site. Both Bluewater Recycling and Laidlaw Environmental were contact- ed in regards tq this, as well as Minto Township, which has a household hazardous .depot at its landfill site which cost $35,000 to construct. Francis Veilleux, general manager of Bluewater Recycling, which services Huron County, .told Hunter that Bluewater is no longer having household. hazardous waste days. "The reason for this is that Lampton County is now pro- viding terminals to dispose of this material and the Lambton County members did not feel it was fair to have to fund this service twice (for other counties)," states Hunter's memo to the board.
