NV District mulling
landfill solutions

SOLUTIONS to the problems of the controversial
Premier Street landfill ¢vaded North Vancouver
District aldermen who were unable Monday to
agree upon any of three alternatives suggested by

Mayor Don Bell.

Instead, council agreed to
a motion tabled to Alderman
Marilyn Baker calling for a
report from District's
enginecring department
defining the life expectancy
of the landfill based on “the
fimshed use of the present

permit area appropnately
contoured.”
The report would deal

with the dump site's present

boundary and grading of

three mountains of garbage
to acceptable levels which
would eventually be land-
scaped for recreational uses

Mayor Bell had put for-
ward three options’ he
considered available to draw
up a future landfill policy:

1 Continue Premier Street
landfill and limit it to tts
present permit arca.

2. Apply for a
control to ecapand = the
landfill to North Van
City's cemetary lands.

) Alternative garbage
disposal techniques
probably a

pollution

combination
of incinerabon, recycling
anda reduced volume of
landfilling Phis would be
the costhest of any of the
measures and may weil be
offered as ai choice to
taxpayers in the form of a
referendum a) the
November municipal
clecttons

Hoskins Road resident
Sharon Simunsc who
already has a court date set
for her private prosecution
against the Distr t over tts

operation of the landfill,

responded by calling the
News the following day and
saying any landfill expansion
plans would be opposed in
the courts by nacighbors of
the dump.

District 1s also considering
the possibility of closing
down the landfill and
transporting all solid wastes
to Greater Vancouver
Regional District’ waste
disposal sites by establishing
a centralized garbage pickup
location.

However Baker pointed
out to council no one wants a
landfill site unless it’s in
somcone else's backyard.

And Alderman Peter
Powell added: “A ton of
garbage is a ton of garbage.
You can break it down into
its component parts but you
can't destroy it.”

Alderman Ermiec Crist
Suggested a more radical
solution. He said District

should “inform the other
North Shore councils using
Premter Street dump that we
have decided to terminate
the site and they should join
us in pursuing costs of
locating a transfer station.”

RECYCLING is now dead in
North Vancouver, after
North Van City council
voted Monday to revoke a
tender awarded to
Allnations Airsealand
Recycling earlier this year.
Allnations also had a
contract with North Van-

a five year period. It had a
similar contract with the
District, though usual
practice is for local
subsidize

governments to
recycling services.

City council approved the
revoking of the tender with
no discussion.

INSIDE

couver District, but it lost
that in May after it failed to
live up to its obligations.
District garbage crews are
picking up newspapers in
that municipality now, but
the City’s recycling program
is in limbo.

City council revoked the
contract because the
company never provided the
service it was supposed to,
and because cheques to the
