"CARRIED" Mr. John Veldhuis of Port Granby addressed Council regarding the Port Granby Dump. He stated that he represented over 250 concerned citizens of the area. He gave a history of the operations since 1954, citing incidents of spills and the death of cattle wandering onto the site. In 1976, a group, calling itself S.E.A.P. was formed and together with members of Council, went to Ottawa to express concerns. They were informed that the dump site would be decommissioned but the Atomic Energy Control Board has renewed the licence since that time. On December 23 1980, the Honourable Marc Lalonde advised that the decommissioning would take place in 1986. Recently there has been renewed activity with information that an area of Port Hope will be cleaned out and the soil dumped at Port Granby. He stated that many truck- loads have already been dumped there. He cited poor monitoring of the soil being dumped and open, uncovered trucks using local roads. Mr. Veldhuis offered three proposals for Council's consideration: 1. A committee of 3 citizens and 3 members of Council be established to monitor the activity at Port Granby and advise Council; 2.
