“My position on gar-
bage and the Premier St.
landfill goes back some
years. On assuming the
mayor’s chair, my first
recommendation to
counci} was to establish a
solid waste committee to
look at the Premier Street
landfill operations and
alternatives for garbage
disposal. Council voted
unanimously to close
Premier St. by year end,
an action | heartily en-
dorse. We do not con-
sider it a suitable site and
there are alternatives.
Even the LMRP report,
in outlining two optional
closing dates for Premier

_ St. does not recommend

full use of the area.

need to find a suitable
method for longterm
disposal and accept that it
may eventually cost $50
plus a year for a
household to dispose of
its garbage. However,

that’s not the dollars
we're talking about right
now. The transfer of
North Shore waste to
Burns Bog under the GVS
and DD agreement until
October, 1986 would be
approximately $25 per
household per year.

‘‘After that time, we
can transfer to a newly
established eastern lan-
diflll site and if our pres-
ent studies of air quality
and gas flue emissions for
incineration show no
significant environmental
impact we may be burn-
ing our garbage on the
North Shore with state of
the art technology by
1990.

site will be closed. It is
tiny job to do everything
possible to achieve the
objectives stated in coun-
cil’s resolution.”

do not accept this argu-

diture of millions of
dollars the District has
made the newer section of
the landfill, and the areas
proposed for future ex-
pansion, as environmen-
tally safe as modern
technology permits. A
