township is vacant land employees are combating as He says that this is develop rains that quickly extinguish it By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner group of 26 residents on Snow Va ley Road in Vespra Township has been told that spill of industrial waste near their properties year ago could contaminate wells by working its way through water table Although ministry of environ ment tess of the wells show there is no immediate danger the residents were wamed in letter this week from Dr David Korn acting medical officer of health for Simcoe County that the spill presents potential hazard At special meeting of Vespra Township council Thursday delegation of the residents were told by health unit and ministry of environ ment officials that the spill had occurred in June 1978 when the plastic liner ruptured in lagoon used for storing in dustrial waste on the nearby property of Chemical Petro Waste CPW Disposal Ltd of Barrie ln hi letter Dr Korn advised residents no to drink the water if they noticed any change in the taste or smell and high risk groups such as pregnant women and nursing women should avoid drinking it all NO EVIDENCE However ther is no evidence at this time the wells are contaminated he added an Gray district officer with the ministrys industrial abate ment section central region told the delegation hydrogeologists estimate the amount of spillage at about 35000 gallons Gray said however that shortly after the spill the ministry had drilled two in terceptor wells near the lagoons situated southwest of the homes and feel the ma jority of the spill was trapped in these and pumped out He said last November the ministry had become suspicious the waste might be moving off CPW property and drilled grid of test holes in area to determine the flow of water in the water table Results showed the flow as due north from the spill site and waste might be migrating on path west of the homes but angling towards them Gray said There is no way at this time to determine the rate of migra tion and contaminate could show up in the next year or in Parking licence policy assailed by merchant By DENNIS lvlllllltllt Of The Examiner The citys policy of granting parking licences downtown is Ron Wilson sales manager with Janes staiionery inc on Dunlop Street is upset because he cant buy permit at manager went to buy three $100 permits which allow parking downtown without having to put money in the meter licence would run out at the end of December its ridiculous why they would want to do that he said ridiculous local merchant reduced rate fromthccity Wilson said he was told he it seems to me theyre says Wilson SAYS IS SIIVICP would have to pay $100 but the discouraging it buying the licence Wilson said the city should either have reduced rates if licences are bought halfway through the year or the per does not see the matter in would normally allow said Straughan After that they can he ticketed the same as everybody else he said The licences were originally designed for doctors along Colv llier Street when parking per mits were necessity of life for them he said OPP want the next 10 years he said CONDUCTED TESTS Initially the ministry con ducted tests to find phenols whose disinfectantlike smell allowed early detection The accepted level in drinking water is one part per billion Dr Korn told the delegation however that because of his concern over the existence of other harmful chemicals in the mix he requested wide spectrum of tests and water analysis from the ministry Tests carried out by the ministry have scanned for pesticides polychlorinated biphenyls lCBs other cancer causing hydrocarbons and heavy metals such as mercury and lead Dr Korn said results from the first three tests have been negative can reassure you at this time we have found nothing he said Results from the heavy metal tests are rex pected shortly he added and we would be very surprised to find them Despite assurances by Gray that CPW is legally responsible to supply alternate sources of water in case of contamination several of the residents ques tioned the approval for locating the industrial waste transfer station on the site in the first place SAFETY QUESTION ED They also questioned the safety of the lagoon storage systm but Gray said it was standard practice and the pro blem had arisen because the supplier of the liner had claim ed it could withstand the chemicals that CPW advised them would be put into the lagoons Gray also said the ministrys jurisdiction permits it to ap prove systems and no zoning as far as location goes Vespra Reeve George Buie said the council had been under the impression the station was only to be used for petroleum waste products and not other chemicals Joanne Kellogg delegation spokesman told council the David Robinson Ontario Field Director for the fight against Muscular Dystrophy receives che que for $75 from Sheila Russell and Doris Cooper as Les Fairbairn of the fire department watches

warns that the fire index is now very high in past years when it reached this height ther wus good chance of fires breaking out The fires in the Huronia region this year have all been would like to see the change assessment improved across the township Its only right people pay their fair market but John Fontaine says Since the Huronia district has had no significant rainfall recently and is becoming very dry we would ask that people use extra caution both when travelling and in the bush The great number of pines used for reforestation in this area have tremendous poen tial for igniting
