Concern • from page 1 "At the beginning, I was determined that anyone•who comes in should pay an upfront charge. However, as we went through the agreement, each municipality brought in their own thoughts and sometimes we agreed and sometimes we' disagreed. But the end result was this (Draft 3) agreement. "I backed off from the upfront charge for a few reasons - one was because there will be a closure cost, therefore, they will be paying some of that. "But it bothers me a little bit that we have a new kid on the block who wants to make the rules. That may be a little harsh, but that's how I feel," said Councillor Clifford. Jack McLachlan, Clerk of Tuckersmith Township, told those present that Tuckersmith isn't exactly the "new kid on the block" as they have approximately 600 people using the site presently. However, Bob Bell, Reeve of Tuckersmith Township and the new Huron County Warden, said he had a concern with his township and Seaforth being "caught with the perpetual care of the old site." In answering Warden Bell's concern, representatives from Lucknow and Col- borne Township said they paid an upfront fee when they joined the site, which could be considered the same as the closure costs. Another part of the agreement is that once a municipality has signed it, they are in it for the' life of the site and 20-25 years after the site is closed. Once the agreement has been signed by the municipalities involved, it will have to be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. PUBLIC HEARING After studies have been .conducted, a public hearing to allow the new users into the Iandfill site will be held. According to Clinton's representative on the committee, Gord Gerrits, the committee will have to obtain an Environmental Assessment Exemption. "Because we are closing a site and open- ing beside it, we can try for the exemption," said Councillor Gerrits. INSURANCE The question of environmental liability in- surance was also discussed at the December 10 meeting Mr. McCabe said the majority of landfill site users are with Frank Cowan while Clin- ton and Colborne deal. with John Slade. "We may have one policy for all the municipalities,, or, for the municipalities who have different insurers, we will have them produce a document saying they have adequate insurance. "In alt honesty, we need to do more research," said Mr. McCabe. It was suggested that the two insurance representatives be invited to a board of management meeting. As for ownership of the site, Goderich Township will purchase the land and lease It to the eight municipalities. TIME TABLE originally, ate ESUuue$Vuie Lantliat bite Committee had hoped to get the new agree- ment finalized andsignedby the end of 1987. However, that doesn't seem possible so they Pitch fork are now aiming for the end of January. Step two, which is the studies, will be car- ried out in 1988 and the closure of the old site and phase one of the new site are set for 1989. Hopefully all -the red tape and studies will be done in the next year," said Mr: Hunter. - Consultants for the Holmesville site are the Conestoga Rovers. Mr. McCabe told those present that $45,000 has been spent on studies and another $40,000 will be spent. He also announced that .two 'more applica- tions for grants have been submitted - one is under the WMIPprogram for closure of the existing site and is -worth $265,000. The se- cond one is allow for various amounts over several years under the Financial Assistance Program and totals $1,726,000. HOURS Recently the hours at the landfill site have changed due to "haulers abusing the site by not covering the garbage," said Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling. "In order to run a better site we, needed to reduce the hours." a This has caused a problem for some con- tractors, one of which is Bud Chamney who has the contract for the Town of Clinton. Both Mr. Chamney and the town have received, complaints about garbage being picked up late. Another concern is the fact that with the later opening hour at the dump, the men cannot pick up the garbage along main street before businesses open, causing them to carry it further and adding time to the job. This point was raised by Clinton Mayor John Balfour at the meeting and he was told that changing the dump hours again has not ben considered as of yet. "At our next meeting, we'll be meeting with Mr. 'Laois: We'll see if he can't reschedule staff or what we can do about it, said Mr. McCabe. INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS "Each municipality has it's own con- cerns," said Mr. McCabe. "We'll ha -Oe to hash it out with the board of management." On the topic of concerns, Reeve Stirling said, "It's no great honor to have a landfill site this close." He went on to say how the Hamlet of Holmesville had rats and they believed they were coming from the landfill site. They brought in some experts and the problem was eventually solved. Mr. McCabe said one of Goderich's con - cents was that they have compaction, which would mean less handling at the dump. In trying to let the representatives know that they're worries will be addressed, Mr. Hunter Said, "What we're concerned about is having eight happy parttie`rs and the best run site this side of Toronto." For now, the board of management will be kept busy dealing with the insurance issue, finding the best method for proportionment and coming up with another draft (Draft 4) for councils' approval. • from page 2 Tuesday was radio day at Seaforth police court when thirty-three owners of radios in this district paid fines of $3 and costs for $2.50 on charges,of failing to obtain a radio hneense before operating their sets. Seven of the charges were against Seaforth citizens. The charges had been laid by Radio Inspector A. R. Clinchey, of Kitchener. When W. J. Harvey, of Kippen, had a winch and cable stolen, he turned detective to get them back. Instead of calling in police, Mr. Harveywent in search of the missing articles himself, and allegedly located them in London. Then he reported the matter to provincial officers.
