a i a ee ee ee ---- by MURRAY MOORE Opposition is being marshalled against at least two of the four sites announced last week as being considered as the possible site of this area's next dump A committee charged with finding a new dump site is looking at four sites: Lots 9 and 22 on Concession 18 of Tiny Township, Lot 18 on Con- cession 4 of Tiny Township, and a lot on Con- cession 5 of Tay Township. _ Known opposition to date is being organized against a dump being opened on either lot on Concession 18 of Tiny Township. The present duinp, which takes garbage from Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay Township, and Port MeNicoll and Victoria Har- bour, and located outside Perkinsfield, is to close by October of next year, by order of the Ministry of the Environment. John Hartman, who lives on Lot 21 on Con- cession 17, is one of those opposed to a dump on Lot 22 on Concession 18, less than two miles from his home. Hartman estimates 50 homes and farms are to be found within two miles of Lot 22, plus the nearby residential development, Sand Castle Estates, and Kingswood Acres, and Cedar Point. Hostess Foods has a high capacity well across the road from Lot 22, he says, a well from which 13.5 million gallons of water have been pumped in the past six weeks. The pump can draw water at a rate of 60,000 gallons a minute, he says. Never- UP_IN ARMS! Opposing adump site on Con. 18 in Tiny Twp. theless, the water drawn is replaced in 10 minutes. The earth under the immédiate area of Lot 22 is sand and boulders and clay silt until the 260 foot depth, Hartman said. The water table tops at 100 feet. Whenever the Hostess pump stops, a huge rush of water under the area including Lot 22 results, Hartman says. Liquid sinking into the ground from the dump would be spread for a wide | distance onto Hostess fields, and then run off in all directions, Hartman predicted. Basil Dorion, who lives near Lot 9 on Concession 18, says Lot 9 is on the top of a hill. At one time the land belonged to his grandfather, but he doesn't know who the current owner is. The NSSLC owns Lot 22, Hartman said. Lot 9 is near a stream and a lake, Dorion said. Dorion says he has gotten a good response to the petition which he has started. Lot 22 is on a plateau with 35 wells, Hartman | says. Lot 22 is the furthest of the four sites from | the Midland and Penetanguishene, he said. Hartman called Concession 18 "probably the most difficult concession road to drive on in the winter in Simeoe County." The feeling of his neighbours is that Tiny Township has done its fair share of being host to the area's dump, and that Tay Township should get the honour, Hartman said.The dump which preceded the Perkinsfield dump was also in Tiny Township, near its border with Midland. Replacement has as yet to be found airport commission is still up in the air Huronia Airport has yet to find a replacement for airport manager Charles Beman whose letter of resignation was accepted earlier this year. Beman is said to have cited "personal reasons"' for his decision. However, since then the commission has asked Beman to stay on the job until the end of next month when it is expected the commission will appoint his replacement. Meanwhile, long-time commission member Peter Kramp remains as acting chairman of the commission. He took over the duties some weeks ago after Chairman Bob Sullivan declared a conflict of Nottawasaga River canoe route open house On Thursday, Aug. 18, the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority will be holding an open house regarding the proposed Nottawasaga River Canoe Route.

Since then Midland Mayor Al Roach confirmed that Sullivan was one of a number of men who had applied for the position of clerk-administrator of Huronia Airport. North Simcoe crops in 'pretty good shape' dry spell caused little damage Most crops in the Elmvale area came through the long dry spell with little damage, said Marlene Werry, farm management specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Elmvale. "North Simcoe in general is in pretty good shape, better than many other places and even better than South Simcoe," she said Monday. "Some areas were affected more by the drought, so it's hard to make an overall estimate.
