Mi: Fraser also pointed out that Disposal would only be allowed to dump the ma- terial they collected in the municipality. Environmental Minister Newman said he had not acted to date because le- gislation prevents certain actions while an appeal hearing is being held. He also said he would not is- sue a stop work order which could be challenged and over-ruled in court. Friday's decision to stop dumping at flhe 20 acre site culminate-d earlier protests by solicitors for the towu and ratepayers calling on a “stop work" order to be [made by the environmental board. ing by Mr. Fraser, said that Disposal was agreeable to dumping “approximately 250 tons a day" in the town dump compared to the 500 tons they had been disposing of on the ZO-acre site since Ja- nuary.

EVENINGS UNTIL 9 P.M Roy Hawkins. chairman of the Maple Ratepayers As- sociation, said it was the re- sidents’ basic premise “that previous experience with Dis- posal in our community has led us to the inescapable con- clusion that any statements made by this firm are unre- liable." {150 Irate Vaughan Taxpayers rLash Out At Garbage Dumpers He cited a promise made by Mr. Chusid at a council committee meeting that his firm would be off a 43~acre dumping site (adjacent to the 20 acres now the subject of contention) by December 15, 1973. Things settled down after that although the words were just as harsh for Disposal Services. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS A long list of complaints about Disgosal ensured run- ning from traffic along Keele Street to the dumping site, trucks travelling at all hours of the night, noise, pollution. and Disposal's failure to keep its word in the past. in the meeting and vented their displeasure with Dis- posal by shouts of “sit down" hurled in the direction of the company‘s Solicitor Murray Chusid of Willowdale. At one point Mr. Caverly threatened to adjourn the meeting if there were any more major interruptions. By FRED SIMPSON There were 150 Maple rate- payers on hand March 14 to get their shots in at Disposal Services as the provincial environmental board hearing continued at the community centres They weren't happy. It was reminiscent of a love affair that had gone sour a few hours after the wed- ding ceremony as one by one the ratepayers trooped up be- fore Environmental Board Chairman David Caverly to explain their plight. The ratepayers were in a somewhat edgy mood early “They were still on this site until January 7 when they were forcibly removed by the sheriff via a court order. They didn’t go vol- “The Liberal” requires a Correspondent for the Langstaff area.

They have been dumping Since January with- out a certificate and they have done nothing in this re- gard to date. There is no proper supervision, no fences, no assurance that they plan to do anything but contamin- ate the whole area." untarily, they were forced to go." Mr. Chusid defended his company's position stating he had promised to be off pro- viding “council agreed not to bring any action against us to put us off which they did. Therefore I suggest to the board that our continued dumping there was perfectly legal and justified." Mr. Hawkins continued on to say there “is a great credibility gap between what Disposal says and what it does. We just can’t depend on what they say." NOISY TRAFFIC Citizen Fred Young com- plained of Disposal traffic running up and down Keele Street at “all hours of the morning causing lhoilse, the people suffer for what is a private enterprise simply trying to make money when it is just a loss for us." “This operation is one which is absolutely, totally unfair to the people of Maple," he said.

Another member of the Woodbridge Area Recycling Group charged that such dumping Sites were obsolete adding that there was no way to prevent underground waterways in the area from being polluted. This application is a pre- liminary to two more that have been filed with the min- istry to turn 913 acres of old gravel fiits south of the pres- ent site into Canada’s largest garbage dump. The pits have already been acquired by the applicants, but no decision has :been handed down by the ministry nor ha{le any public hearings been scheduled. garbage disposal sites “Any methods claimed to prevent this are uncontroll- able. unpredictable, and will fail in the long run. Public safety is more important than the profits of an individual company. Pollution can only be prevented by reducing the waste at its source and by recycling it." Donald Deacon MLA, York Centre, called on the ratepayers to demand "de- finite assurance from the province that it can guaran- tee no pollution as a result of this 20-acre site. If that assurance is not forthcom- ing all dumping should be stopped immediately. He termed such land-fill site as a “blight on the com- munity and one that can only cause future hardships for children.” Ratepayer Carol Cameron drew applause when she warned that “if we don’t stop this right now we‘ll lose the battle on the much larger dump which is coming up." She was referring to ap- plications made by the Sup- erior Sand, Gravel and Sup- plies Ltd., another firm that Disposal's Norm Goodhead is involved in, and the Craw- ford-Ontario Sand and Gravel EFRE EioiéilélfitGASE r6:â€"â€"â€"’aig; ’’’’ a v o P o I 0 0‘ And Save ope 14113 lllllt! uu'alulucc :9190 vane: 51.
