F .J. was chargéd last week with illegally discharging industrial wastes into a watercourse. A trial was held before Judge William Caman in Richmond Hill Provincial Court April 29. The case was remanded to May 15 for judgement. The charge was Laid under the Ontario Water Resources Act. Chemical Engineer Victor Buxton. plus an official of the OWRC's laboratory and a chemi- cal analyst. testified in the trial. Evidehcé was given that a storage lagonn containing fluid industrial waste wet-flowed Reeve Laushway said that from an elected official‘s standpoint “we had run up against a brick wall on getting the dump closed." "Closing a few industrial plants employing 5.000 people for a short time would be insignificant in re- lation to the cost of destroying the water supply for a village of 4.000. The supply was tested and planned for as many as 15,000 people," he said. “I don't know why they let any- to clu thing in that might ruin it." the it c; reeve said, He added that the woulc dump was only 5,000 feet in a the ( direct line from the Stoqffvjlle iater THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill.

He wanted to know who would pay the costs of piping in water if the wells were polluted. and he wanted to know what the people of the village would do while the pipelines were being built.

The suspended solids count was 670. while an accep- table standard for such a count would be about 15, the OWftC experts said.

There was illicit and clandestine clumping of fluid industrial wastes in Whitchurch and elsewhere when the dump was closed in December. The evidence exists." said Mr. Heaman, warning that an ill-considered quick closing of the dump could do more harm than good. But the meeting was having none of this kind of talk. and shouted Mr. Heaman down. At one time a spectator marched from the back of the big auditorium and mounted the stage to confront Mr. Heaman.

I doubt if anyone in the provincial government has. The responsi- bility for starting the dump lies with the municipality," he said. Mr. Heaman added that legisla- tion has been drafted for dump licenses and regulation. The new laws were awaiting cabinet ap- proval.

The decision is clear. It is between immediate profit for a jaw. and the welfare of future generations. A serious lack of foresight by the govern- ment is being illuminated." the NDP member said. OWRC representative Symons said a study taken about the time the dump opened showed the site to be suitable for domestic gar- bage, not for industrial waste. The RICHMON HILL OWRC said the same thing again in 1959. The OWRC was also finding a lot of bootleg dumping. and this was of great concern. Drilling under the dump in January had been indicative that the situation was safe. but the findings were not yet conclusive. Therefore the re- opening of the dump was only on a temporary basis. Mr. Symons said. . The dump sits over one of the best aquifers in the province. and we are concerned that this aquifer gets the protection from pollution it needs. concluded Mr. Symons.

He said absolutely nothing is being done about industrial waste disposal. and anyone who tries to do anything can’t get any. where. “Everybody sitting at that plat. form table is a past master as pass- ing the buck," he said. His firm had planned a disposal plant on the lakefront. on a site suggested by provincial officials. But it turned out they had spent their time and money uselessly. Another provincial agency got into the act and the firm was told the site was not acceptable. All the effort was wasted.
