ministry of the en- vironment by the ministry of labor the report listed some 70 gases that were found at the brockwestlandfillalthoughthe levels of the gases were accept able the report stated that many of the gases had health effects that they had not classi fied all the gases that three were potentially cancer causing that some individuals in the commun ity could be more affected than the typical human and that they really did not know what the impact of these gases working together was pickering council swiftly and unanimously endorsed my resolu tion to the minister of the en vironment requesting that he re voke the operating certificate of the dump or ensure that metro comply with the environmental protection act we also restated our need to meet with the minister himself to discuss the problems during our lengthy meeting the ministry stated that it is not prepared to shut the brock west site at this time but that if at the end of 1986 the gas collection sys tem was not eliminating the odor problem it would consider revok ing the permit or granting a new environmental hearing we re quested that the brock norths certificate should be revoked on the grounds that it was turned down totally as a suitable site by the environmental hearing board and then partly approved on appeal the part that was approved has been shown to be a very poor site with serious leachate problems the ministry did not agree to close the site immediately but stated they would consider grant ing a new hearing if metro prop osed reopening it or suggested new technological methods to be used on the site there was discussion of the need to reduce the volume of met ros waste by recycling the minister acknowledged that so long as metro could dump on its neighbors they had little or no
