'PAG 2, WHITBY FIREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1988 Works chairman is angry at Metro landfillpan Durham Region works commit- tee chairman Gerry' Emmn is shocked and angry at last week's announcement by Metro Toronto that an area in Durham Region bas been identified for an interlm ian- dfil site. &"19m not happy at ail," said Emm, who la also the Region rereenatveon the SWEAP committee which la conducting the longterm solid waste management planning process. "IWe in Durham are supposed to know what's going on -we're not," said Emm, "Where's the approvai from Durham? " Metro can keep their garbage." Metro Toronto identified the in- terim landfill as a possible alter- native to the Brock South location which was put on hold by Metro in December. The Brock West site in Pickering is expected to be closed i 1990 and the SWEAP process is to identify a new longterm site. Metro works department says the interim site includes an ares partly in Metro Toronto and in that part of Durham Region which lies between the Oak Riciges Moraine (which runs east and west ln an ares north of Highway 7 and south of Lake Scugog) and Lake Ontario. More specific interim sites couid be iden- tified ln March, accordlng to Metro works., "lIt could be anywhere in the southern part of Durham," said Emmn. "Without saying it's accep- table, they're saying it couid be anywhere."t Emm said Metro works la dusing"l the SWEAP procesa to gain approval from the Ministry of Enviroinent for a new site. -1 He predlcted ail Durham Region residents would now fight the proposai asdid Pickering residents before. "They'll aH say, "We canIt trust you'," said Emm, who noted he heard notfling anout me interim site at a recent SWEAP meeting. Emm planned to discuas the mat- ter with Durham Region staff and commnittee members on Tuesday this week. He said, Metro has made another "blunder" by announcing the site. "No wonder they're in the mess they're in. They've been dragging their beels for years. They've done nothlng, absolutely nothing. They don't know where they're going. ,"The way they're acting, they've lost whatever support they had in SEE PAGE 3 NO SWEAT fimCnWORKOUT ~ayCD[Cg oniLtg wd cEfwuttug NEW CONCEPT Our 6 different motorized exercise tables will tone and firm your body.
