candidate sites
U.A. Chant, Chairman and President of OWMC
1Ontario Waste Management Corporation), today
-announced candidate areas within the Golden Hor-
seshoe where the search for industrial and toxic
Taste 'treatment and disposal facility 'sites will be
concentrated. .
These areas vary in size, from relatively small
locations in the Regional Municipalities of Peel and
Halton,. to larger areas distributed throughout the
Niagara Peninsula.
• "W ' are confident that safe locations can be found
•
for t'i+ch of the major treatment and. disposal com-
ponents, which include an incinerator, a physical -
ch ertlic•aI treatinent plant and an engineered landfill.
We have • eliminated large areas, particularly north
and ',vest of Toronto, from further consideration," Dr.
('hart stated ata press.eonference in Toronto.
hi addition to areas that have been excluded for'
hydro -geological reasons, major built-up areas and
arehs with the concentration of fruit production in the
St. ('atharines' region were excluded. Other ex-
clusions in the Niagara Peninsula, were due to eithet
inarlc uate atmospheric dispersion conditions, or"-'
distance travel time from 400 - series highways.
Of the candidate areas potentially suitable for
industrial waste treatment and disposal components,
mast lie in the Niagara Peninsula, although some
smaller areas are also potentially suitable within the
Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton.
OW MC will now undertake more detailed studies
. within these candidate areas, before specific can- •
cfidate sites are selected. "We expect the,entire Phase
Three program to be concluded in the Fall, with the
announcement of specific candidate sites. Detailed,
•
on -the -land studies of these sites will follow prior'to
the preparation of an OWMC proposal to an in-
dependent Hearing Panel," Dr. Chant said.
"Over thfe past year we have moved" from the data -
collection to the d4cision-inking stage. This is where
the hard part begins. We have promisedtminnot naive
the
public at every step of the way, bu
ti . enougirto'beli-eve that there will be total agreement in
the months ahead. Some will support our proposals,
others will oppose. This is no popularity contest. But
after observing what has been done in Europe, I am/
convinced we can construct treatment and disposal
facilities more risk-free than the,problerns we all will
fal"e if nothing is done," he added.
