markham economist and sun newmarketaurora era oakville beaver oshawa this week and mississauga news violations abound at dump shredded car parts used to cover garbage at the york sanitation landfill site on highway 48 is just another series of violations the company has perpetrated against the regulations which govern garbage dumps the company has consistently violated provincial regulations yet every con- sideration is being given for them to increase the dumping at the site to an incredible 1500 tons per day the use of the shredded car parts which are mainly interior vinyl and foam parts shredded instead of earth show flagrant disregard for property techniques of burying garbage it is just this apparent disregard for provincial regulations that shows whvthe dump should be closed once and for all the glib oratory of the companys lawyer murray chusid cannot gloss over these violations it is hoped that the environmental hearing board will expedite the decision and that the board will then agree that the dump should be closed by refusing the york sanitation request for increased dumping the board will guarantee that the dump will be closed it is not economically feasible to operate a dump and make a profit on the 300 tons per day level to which the company is presently supposed to adhere the company must ex- pand to justify the operation by limiting dumping the provincial government will effectively cause the dump be gradually phased out let us hope the minister of environment has the foresight and determination to do just that ita training- exerce for peacekeeping-

education director sam chapman mr chapman has been the driving force behind all major decisionsmade by the board up until this year the elections last year installed some new trustees who are disatisfied with the weak control by v the trustees over the administration i this is coming out more clearly week-by- week as the staff apparently resists efforts by vthe trusteesto trim the 1975

hard- nosed in insisting that the budget be cut j to manageable proportions in affect he has been trying to cut the budget in areas that will not hurt the classroom teaching situation in order to

actual hearing for another six fnonths filling five stenographers notepadswith for the most part illegible scrawls arid writing enough newspaper copy to limva birdcage for the average parakeets lifespan i feel i should at leastmake sorrie comment on the whole ugly mess vj f this is a very difficult thing to do and for theycry feasohsi listed above when ex plaining twhy j feelv compelled to say something i s ul t one thing i feel goes to the heart of the matter is that the names environmental jhearing board and ministry of the en- vironmenfare extremely misleading if not outright liesthose names being nothing more than a public relationsstroke of genius con- coctedby some governirient flack the proper harries should be board and ministry of sewers arid refuse v t i the main function of those organizations ls not to prbtectthe environment but to control the oiderly growth of sewer lines and garbage dumps there are environmental con- siderations but they are of minor importance rei remiest o thisnatur compared to more pragmatic considerations reduce any request ot tnis nature d-iitl- tij juk a this recommendation will be made both the mimstryand the board are of- anv environmental the metro area the dump must continue to operate t t- this is not idle speculation but fact all clearly outlined in the brief submitted by the ministry of course you say the board although fnadeup of not quite objective members is still an independent body that is true but the fact still remains the board has no legislative powers but can only makerecommendationsto the ministry the very ministry that has already said they approve of not only the continued operation but iri fact the expansion of the dump the ministry in their brief called for more testing of the site arid that is more than likely what the board will recommend i doubt that the people of whitchurchstouffville can seriously expect much more than that the tonnage may not beallowed to go to 1500 tons daily and thesite may not be per mitted to operate for the full 11 years requested but is an accepted- bargaining practice for developers budget writers and dump operators to ask for considerably more than they can reasonably expect to get- it is nothing more than a standard procedure to i o i fi -i- i sv by john mofiffeoftek public acceptability is meant in a broader political sense jan sure things would have been quite different iflike the toronto lead hearings there was a great hue and cry with banner headlines in l globe cbc documentaries and f charges arid counter charges flying across the legislature between stephen lewis and bill newman constituted of career bureaucrats career politicians and politicalappointees who jo sayrthe least are raving en- vironmentalists riv isfss yj s it beridiculuous to say they are simmuhefb politicaland economic con- j regardless of- any jsiderations chairman david caverly on more than one occasion said the board is more interested in public acceptability of the site than in technical considerations v this remark can be interpreted two ways the first way is to assume he meant how the siderauonstheontariq government isveryv site accepted bythose who have to live with grbwftvand3prpgressonentedand their wf i n i k since this group is very small in numbers unfortunately for thoseopposed tottie dump the affair was too long drawn out arid excruciatingly complicated tobecome a media cause celebre st s york sanitations lawyer murray chusid repeatedly harped on the afgufnent obviously damning in his eyes that town council had voted to close the dump before the hearing even started time and time again he waxed eloquent about how disfespectfulthis was to t the board yet nobody ven suggested it was disrespectful for the ministry to publish a t document also before the hearing approving the site h i r could it be that the towns arid residents lawyers werent quite bright enough to pick up on i this i find this hardly credible for although they lacked mrchusids snakeoil salesmancharmthey are all competent attorneys the other possibilityis that they realized it would do them no good to outrage the board members- by throwing up the a boards impotence in their- f aces v j this brings one to the question why i bother holding- a hearing atallitheh the answer to that isthatit has a nice look about itr nobody can clairn he was denied due prpcessfithey had a hearing didnt 5 they s everybody and hisdog got to sayhis piece
