We welcome you to join with us in our Economic Strategy Process. Early in 1995, the Regional Municipality of Durham approved the commencement of the creation of a Durham Region Community Economic Development Strategy under the Dufiam Region Economic Development Advisory Committee (DREDAC). This Strategy would address our various economic sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture and tourism, as well as other issues such as training, employment and income needs. ey coordinating our economic development efforts to maximize results, we foresee the encouragement of job creation in growth sectors, and the assurance that available training will reflect real job opportunities. This Strategy must reflect local and regional understandings of our community and offer opportunities for many in our community to be directly involved in the Strategy process. The Regional Municipality has asked that we attempt to prepare this Strategy within a one year time frame ending in December 1995. We have proposed several steps in community consultation and regular feedback. These are: • Roundtab/es on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) associated with Durham Region and its economy. • Roundtables on Goals for what the Community would like to see achieved with regards to the Regional economy. • Roundtables on Ideas and Actions on how ro improve the Regional economy. • Comments on the Draft Strategy when available. To ensure success of the process, we encourage your municipality to participate in alt stages. Initially, we invite you to attend our first session ®n Strengths and Weaknesses to be held: May 4tk,1995 7:30-10:00p.m. G. B.

Regular physical exercise is important throughout life, and exercise can play an important role in the prevention of osteoporosis. The more "work" a bone has to do, the stronger it becomes. That's why the bones of athletes, which undergo great stress, are usually thicker and stronger than the bones of people who lead less active lives. Bones with little stress on them become thinner and weaker. "Weight-bearing" exercise -- literally any exercise which forces the body to carry its own weight -- is best. Walking, skating, skiing, running, tennis, dancing and golfing are all excellent activities because they help strengthen the long arm and leg bones of the body.

ON MAY 12, 1995 AT THE PORT DARLINGTON MARINA CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET • BOWMANVILIE •ONTARIO • l1C 3A8 (905) 623-3379 • FAX 823-4189 pECtCLEO ~A~ER i i / ~~ / ,` C~ /~ t Text of a delegation by Peter Newell, to Council, Municipality of Clarington, May S, 1995 Madam Mayor, Members of Council: Thi as been a very sad matter. The reason we are here this evening is because that sadness been unnecessarily compounded by some very bizarre conduct by Town officials. ~.~ ~ want to learn whether Council recognizes that this conduct was indeed inappropriate and to hear what steps Council intends to take to establish better procedures in the future. The first problem, which is not the Town's fault, is that the statute, the Livestocl~ Poultry and Honeybee Protection Act (the "Act"), is a tired old relic of another age. .~, ,~1 ~f Elmer Buchanan, Minister of Agriculture, has proposed; m his word`s, to curtail the rights of livestock owners, in order to balance the concerns of interested parties. The .- amending legislation has been given first readings ~ °``3'~' - As well as concerns on the part of the provincial government, the judiciary has been troubled by the unbalanced nature of this legislation. The Courts in two Ontario cases in 1989, Mertson and Charbonneau held that the Act did not grant an absolute right to kill a dog straying onto property where livestock is l~,ly kept, even though the Act could be read that ~.._ ___~-~-.y-- way. This position was reaffirmed by the Courts as recently as last month. Indeed, the judge ,/' ,~-.. ~~. -2- in the second case insisted that it was necessary to apply "some common sense proportionality" to determine whether the killing of a dog in such circumstances was warranted. So what does this have to do with the Town? It has to do with fair and competent administration. While awaiting new amendments and guidelines from the provincial government, municipalities can be excused for being uncertain as to exactly how to proceed. One municipality, the Township of Bonfield, confronted the matter directly in 1993 by passing a resolution which declazed: "Whereas this law is antiquated, primitive and dangerous for all living things who aze defenceless and unarmed when faced with the scope of a gun. Therefore, be it resolved that this section be eliminated and one less act of cruelty is erased from the books." Even though their resolution would be unenforceable, they made their point. h Your i~cd'ate concern, haver, has to be responsible administration. The Town is a subordinate administrative level of government. It goes about the day-to-day business -3- of providing services within its mandate under the Municipal Act. In doing so, it is bound to comply with provincial law and to fulfill its fundamental obligation to its taxpayers to delegate authority to qualified people who are properly trained to carry out their duties in a lawful and efficient manner, serving all of the members of the community in an open and even-handed way. In the particular situation at hand, gs, the Town and its staff were confronted with an administrative challenge of sorts. rmciple ti ~~hallenges b~h-e- r owing: • Had the Town anticipated the matter so that it had proper policies and procedures in place in advance? • Were the Town's staff properly selected and trained so that they could deal confidently with the situation: - • by responding efficiently when called upon; • by accurately recording and communicating facts; • by recognizing the need for veterinary care of an injured dog; and -4- • by clearly informing the respective parties i of their rights and obligations under the law so that they could make a proper decision as to their course of action. Frankly, it looks as if the Town failed to meet the challenge. The Town's officials evidently didn't understand the law they were supposed to W ~ ~i.,7•-max' ~ ~t~S2.0.-~.c~ '~ ~°--~ be administering. Mrs. Gasse was told that her only choice was either to pay and not ask questions or face the invocation of procedures which s old mean her second dog would be ordered destroyed~l~q a valuator. This analysis of the law was absolutely incorrect. Essentially, the Act works like this. The central provision for our purposes is section 8. It reads: "8(1) The owner of a dog who has knowledge that the dog has killed or injured livestock or poultry shall destroy the dog or cause the dog to be destroyed within 48 hours after acquiring such knowledge. [emphasis added] (2) An owner of a dog who refuses or neglects to destroy it when required to do so by subsection (1) ~ be summoned before a provincial judge who ~ order the dog to be destroyed ...". [emphasis added] -5- The point is that the dog owner has to know whether the dog in question killed poultry. The only way such knowledge available is by questioning the individual who shot the dogs or another eyewitness. If the identity of such person is concealed, no knowledge can be gained by the dog owner. Until the dog owner has that knowledge, there is no compulsion to act under subsection 8(1). The fact is that, under the legislation, the only way a satisfactory determination could be reached as to whether the Gassers' second dog, Reeta, was involved, would be under section 8(2) at a full Court hearing involving notice to all parties and all the normal truth testing mechanisms available in open Court, including. cross-examination of the person making the allegations and so on. Even then it would remain in the Judge's sole discretion to weigh the circumstances and determine whether destruction of the dog was appropriate. The valuator only values the damages-v/ ~"`~~"~ ~ ~-~„~~.~..Y.,.~~,.1•,4~ Possibly, such an open Court proceeding would be an unpleasant experience for the person who shot the dogs. He would be required to account for his actions, and_the whole thing could backfire on him. Just a few weeks ago in Renfrew, a provincial Court judge held that a farmer had acted excessively in shooting a dog straying on his property and bothering his cattle.

He wanted to remain anonymous, but he also wanted money. There is nothing in the Act that says he can have both. The Town officials, however, evidently decided he should have his way. The real shame in all of this is that the Town effectively intermeddled in a situation which could and should have been handled responsibly by the citizens involved. ~nnle cu~v.~hatt ' ~ ___ out-of-Court settlement probably doe lore sense than invoking all of the legal procedures involvin rs, judges lawyers and so on. To that ~. ~~~ extent, the Town's official ig t, but then he went hopelessly by trying to interpose the settlement The perfectly normal solution would have been for the poultry owner to explain to the Gassers what happened, satisfy them directly that the damage had been done, arrive at a cash settlement ~ rand thereby by-pass any Court proceedings to determine which dog was involved and so on. That's the common sense way neighbours, both of whom are livestock farmers, should settle things. This is especially true where the law itself is so outdated and flawed that both the Courts and the Minister of Agriculture are saying that it must be changed to better balance the interests of the parties and should be used with commonsense instead of as a shield for irrational, violent behaviour. -~- a~ Where the Town official really went wrong was by«~g this anonymity requirement. He took it upon himself to pronounce a policy which effectively prevented the normal settlement process from taking place. By coercion and misrepresentation of the law, he ~"~C~'"'~ made the Gassers comply with his settlement. His knowledge of the law was inadequate and therefore he failed in his duty to inform citizens of their obligations. This is a position that flies in the face of logic and centuries of established common law. As a consequence, his judgment in the circumstances and his training are very much open to question. This error was compounded when the Town dug in its heels ~~~su~po~ i`s~~,indefensible position and misused the Municipal Freedom of Information and Privacy Act sh~tnelessly to deny basic particulars always given to anyone when a fine is levied and collected. /", ~ .l o `yam , ~l~ -~ .~-~~ ~--~.~~~~ 1 T e re tonight, is that, from a citizen's perspective, it looks bad.

My advice to Council would be this: The time has come to look carefully at your policies and procedures and those you pick to administer them.

The Heritage House Museum in Smiths Falls has been chosen as the award winner for 1994. Annually the Museums Committee must review the unique profiles of museums from diverse backgrounds and varied communities to determine a recipient. The role of each museum to. provide service to its clientele is as individual as the clients it serves. Criteria for selection of the successful candidate factor in diversity of programming, effectiveness in service, partnerships with communities, innovation in approaches, and presentation of services, initiatives, and the submission itself. All of these factors must contribute to the museums's position within its community and reflect the successes of the museum in a continuing effort to increase its diversity of services. Your application has provided an excellent profile of your nominated site and it is much to the credit of the museum, board, staff, and volunteers that the time was taken to prepare your submission. I would recommend that your. organization promote the recognition by its community through this process and I encourage you to consider application again in the future. Sincerely, B. L.

They noted areas of the church in need of preservation including brick needing repointing, and windows needing reglazing. They also observed a number of interesting architectural features that would well suit the purposes of a LACAC designation. Much of their time at the Kirby Church was spent answering the concerns of some committee members who had the impression that LACAC was a very restrictive program. Reverend Russell had been in touch with Isabel Little of the Planning Department and she was able to share with him the names of several designated churches he could contact for a fair assessment of the LACAC program. LETTERHEAD AND BUSINESS CARDS: Janie Dodds provided .the following quotes for stationary and business cards: 8 1/2" X 11" stationary with a pale logo appearing in the background --------------------- $56.00/500 sheet quantity --------------------- 66.00/1000 sheet quantity 95-25 Moved by Tom Barrie that LACAC purchase 1000 sheets of stationary with the LACAC letterhead for a sum of $66.00 Seconded by Eleanor Magder.

"CARRIED" PUBLIC RELATIONS: After a brief discussion it was agreed contact Laura Richards of the Statesman to that Janie consider a Dodds would request from LACAC that the newspaper cover each of the newly appointed LACAC designations. The expectation is that the Statesman and possibly the Orono Times would find such articles of local interest and choose to include them routinely. ADDRESS BY CHAIRPERSON: Janie Dodds discussed the idea of a slight change of format from time to time of the regular LACAC meeting to allow time for a guest speaker. After a short discussion it was determined that Janie should contact Phyllis Dewell, a former chairperson of LACAC, regarding her interest in a short address to the current committee sometime in September. Another contact might be Mary Lou Evans, a LACAC advisor with the Ministry in Toronto. It was further suggested that this particular meeting might even be opened to all LACAC designated homes because of Mrs. Evan's expertize within the organization. It was determined that Janie would call to seek Mrs. Evan's interest. Janie Dodds referred to several conferences that could be of some interest to LACAC committee members: May 17 - May 21 Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) Conference, held in Ottawa, Ontario, and dealing with "Vernacular Two, the Influence of Style on the Vernacular". May 26 - 28 Archives Association of Ontario (AAO) and Community Heritage Ontario (CHO) combined Conference, "Papers to Parapets". This conference is hosted by the city of London, Ontario and deals with the theme of Heritage Identification. John Bizzell registered an interest in attending the Ottawa conference while Janie Dodds and Isabel Little are consdidering the London conference. i~ 95-27 Moved by Tom Barrie, seconded by Nancy Miller, that the registration fee for approved conferences be borne by LACAC for members as well as our LACAC Liaison member. "CARRIED" LACAC LIAISON: Changes are forthcoming to the pamphlet entitled "The Designation Process". Isabel handed out a draft copy of the revised document requesting that members read the document and bring questions and suggestions to the April meeting so the draft can be formalized. HERITAGE CONSERVATION AWARDS PROGRAM: A handout was given to each LACAC member to peruse regarding the merits of an awards program currently practiced by other LACAC groups around Ontario. The handout will form the basis of a discussion at the April meeting.

They are requesting a $10.00 fee for each time LACAC convenes in the Historical Society's chambers to~help defray upkeep costs. After some discussion it was decided that LACAC must politely decline to pay .the charges based on a combined concern for budgetary constraints as well as an earlier understanding between L_ k LACAC and facilities. the municipality for the free use of the current NEW BUSINESS: HERITAGE .TRADES: John Bizzell is to write a letter to CHO requesting a directory of heritage trades - craftsmen, subcontractors, and suppliers, for the LACAC committee to have as reference.

"CARRIED" SOLAR HOUSE: A home built circa 1950 on Lakeshore Rd., east of Bond Head, was recently written up in Harrowsmith magazine as the first solar home in Ontario. 95-30 Moved by Diana Grandfield, seconded by Bill Paterson, that John Bizzell should research the Harrowsmith article to better assess the architectural merit of the dwelling and report back to LACAC. "CARRIED" HERITAGE BUILDINGS - BOWMANVILLE: Nancy Miller has volunteered to help Diana Grandfield with the task of reviewing and organizing the inventory of heritage buildings in the town of Bowmanville. DESIGNATED PROPERTY GRANTS: - There is a $385.00 balance in the designation assigned to St. George's Church. As the result of brief discussion it was: 9531 Moved by Tom Barrie, seconded by Bill Paterson, that Diana Grandfield recommend to St. George's that they use the remaining $385.00 toward the repair of the brick wall in front of the church.

To say that Metropolitan Toronto Council is concerned about reduced federal funding this yeaz and the withdrawal of funding in future yeazs goes without saying. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto passed the attached motion at its Council meeting on April 5, 1995. It was overwhelmingly supported by the Council which demonstrates the conviction of the Council to have federal funding restored. I have been kept informed by Mayor Bazbaza Hall's office of efforts to establish a meeting date to hear the rationale for this most extreme of measures taken by the federal government and to begin discussions. I will make myself available to represent Metropolitan Toronto to attend any meeting that is established. While I want to make it clear that this is without any suggestion that Metropolitan Toronto would be willing to fund the federal project in future years, I will assure you that I will come with an open mind to explore funding models that would make Hazbourfront self- sufficient for the future. I look forward to getting this matter resolved. Respectfull yours, f' µ ~.~~~ an To s l ' Chairman - ~_ ~ . ~ - ~~~ ~ _ :; . ,. cc: Honourable Art Eggleton, P.C., M.P.

It describes what has hap- pened to waste management in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) during the last five years and previews what might happen during the next two. It also addresses some related issues, notably the matter of waste export and current evidence as to the relative merits of landfill and incineration as methods of waste disposal. Preparation of the Overview was funded by Ogden Martin Systems Ltd. of Mis- sissauga, Ontario as a public service to help clarify many of the issues concern- ing waste management in the GTA. It depended heavily on the comments made and data gained through numerous discussions with officials of the five regional governments of the GTA and with several other representatives of the public and private sectors. The authors are grateful and wish to thank all concerned for the cooperation received. The views expressed and the analyses and presentation of the data are those of the authors, who are independent consultants. Richard Gilbert was a member of the City of Toronto and Metropolitan Toronto Councils from 1976 to 1991. Ray Bremner was Commissioner of Public Works for the City of Toronto from 1963 to 1990.

It is almost twice as long as the previous version and contains much new material. Data on all aspects of waste diversion, disposal, and export for the whole of 1994 are included, where available, as well as related financial matters. (Perhaps the most significant changes during the last eight months have been the steeply declining net costs of diversion activities.) Other matters are also updated including, for example, Metro Council's actions with respect to the Adams Mine proposal. The comparisons of the environmental and other aspects of landfill and incineration have been extended, as has the analysis of the role of waste export. Develop- ments at the preliminary hearings concerning the three landfill sites proposed by the provincial government's Interim Waste Authority (IWA) are reviewed, and an assessment is given of the financial viability of the facilities. The question as to how matters might unfold if a new provincial government is elected is given fuller consideration than in the previous Overview. HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH SECTION Section 1 (Background). Sets the scene and describes employment and population trends in different parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Section 2 (Trends in waste disposal since 1990; current costs). Waste received at GTA facilities fell dramatically between 1990 and 1993, with a small increase in 1994, causing huge losses in tipping-fee revenue for regional municipalities. Section 3 (Factors affecting the decline in receipts of ICI waste at Metro and Peel sites). Well over half of the decline in waste disposal within the GTA can be attributed to export of waste to the United States. Metro's lowering of its tipping fees last year reduced the amount exported from about 90 per cent to about 60 per cent of what is sent for disposal. Section 4 (Diversion of waste from disposal). Net costs of recycling programs have fallen dramatically during the last year. Municipal programs are presently producing a diversion rate of about 20 per cent; that rate may increase sharply in the near future. Section 5 (Present and future requirements for waste disposal). Even with extremely aggressive diversion programs 2.0 million tonnes of GTA waste will require disposal in 2015 and more than 1.5 million tonnes in 2055, compared with an anticipated 3.25 million tonnes in 1995.t ' A million tonnes of garbage would almost exactly fill the SkyDome. The roof would have to be left open if the garbage were not compacted. PAGE 1 ~~ OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 Section 6 (Actions of the provincial government). Describes relevant legislation passed by the present government, the work of the IWA, and the three landfill sites proposed by the IWA. ' Section 7 (Financial arrangements for the IWA sites). The IWA sites will likely not be financially viable if export of waste continues. There are many omissions from the IWA's ' estimates of costs. Appropriate adjustments made by the authors result in estimates of required tipping fees that are 39 to 52 per cent higher than the IWA's estimates. Section 8 (Responses to the provincial government's actions). The mayor criticisms of the provincial government's actions on waste are: (i) that the proposed landfill sites are environmen- tally unsound; (ii) that the process violates the integrity of the Environmental Assessment Act; ' (iii) that the government has not acted to curb and has even facilitated the export of waste to the United States; (iv) that the management of used materials has become more fragmented; and (v) that there has been inadequate consultation. Section 9 (Status and future of the IWA process). Reviews the current state of the complex approval process, noting that the main environmental assessment hearings for the three proposed sites will not begin before fa111995, after a provincial election. Section 10 (Possible Chan es in the IWA rocess). Discusses actions a new government or a ' g P re-elected government might take to allow consideration of reasonable alternatives to the ' proposed landfill sites, all in a timely manner and consistent with the principles of the Environ- mental Assessment Act. Section 11 (Alternatives to the IWA sites). Briefly describes three proposals for disposal: the rail- or truck-haul proposal of Metro and Notre Corporation (to Adams Mine near Kirkland Lake); the rail-haul proposal of Waste Management of Canada Inc. (to Adena, Ohio); and a proposal of the Ontario Waste Management Association. A proposal conceming incineration of waste in or near the GTA will likely be made during 1995. Section 12 (Waste export and flow control). Concludes that existing legislation and agreements may preclude restrictions on the export of waste to the United States and yet no new disposal facility in Ontario may be viable if export continues. Moreover, effective planning for the handling of waste, including waste diversion, may be impossible if export continues. Section 13 (Incineration vs. landfill; an update). Reviews some recent evidence that landfills pose a bigger threat to air quality than to ground water and that landfills are responsible for more air emissions than incinerators per tonne of waste handled.

PAGE 2 , OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 1. Background The last five years have been a period of great change in the management of waste in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In 1990, the greatest concern was that the GTA was rapidly running out of landfill capacity. A new provincial government, elected in September 1990, set aside a contro- versial, municipally led process to find new sites in favour of an equally controversial, still- unfinished process managed by a provincial agency, the Interim Waste Authority (IWA). Since 1991 there has been a large decline in the amount of waste sent to landfill in the GTA, mostly because of export of waste to landfill sites in the United States. Waste production has also declined on account of the economic recession and waste reduction programs. Moreover, the amount sent for disposal has been reduced by increases in the amounts of municipal waste collected separately for recycling and composting. In Peel Region, the amount has been further reduced by the commencement of operation of the GTA's only waste-to-energy (incineration) plant. These factors and potential factors have removed some of the urgency to secure new landfill capacity. The next two years promise as much uncertainty about the future of waste management in the GTA as the past five have provided change. The greatest determining factor will likely be the provincial election to be held in 1995, probably in June and certainly before November, when the main environmental assessment hearings with respect to the three landfill sites proposed by the IWA could begin. Each of the two opposition parties has vowed to scrap the IWA if it achieves power, to return responsibility for securing new disposal facilities to the regional governments, and to allow consideration of alternatives other than landfill in the GTA. These commitments and the variability of the voting behaviour of Ontario electors together suggest the reasonable conclusion that the process may well be changed.

Historically, upper-tier municipalities have been responsible for waste disposal and for the non- collection aspects of diversion from disposal; lower-tier municipalities have been responsible for the collection of waste and material for recycling and composting. (These responsibilities are PAGE 3 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 exercised in part through contracts with the private sector.) Increasingly, lower-tier responsibili- ties are being assumed by upper-tier municipalities.Z 2. Trends in waste disposal since 1990; current costs In 1990, most of the waste produced in Metropolitan Toronto and in the Regions of Durham and York was disposed of by Metro at its two landfill sites: the Keele Valley site located in the City of Vaughan in the Region of York and the Brock West site located in the Town of Pickering in the Region of Durham. Table 2 shows changes in the amounts handled by Metropolitan Toronto since 1990 according to source. Waste from "municipal sources" in Table 2 refers mostly to waste sent for disposal by the lower- tier municipalities in Durham, Metro, and York after collection from small businesses and from households in single-family homes and small apartment buildings (all such buildings in some local municipalities).3 Of Table 2.

After large increases throughout the 1980s, the flow of municipal waste to Metro's landfill sites fell b~+ a total of some 11 per cent between 1990 and 1992; it began to increase again in 1993 and increased by over 6 per cent between 1993 and 1994. The flow of municipal waste per capita began to increase again in 1994 (it too had increased throughout the 1980s). Z This transfer of responsibilities has been facilitated by the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 1993 (also known as Bi117), which is discussed on Page 7. 3 In this overview, municipal waste and waste from municipal sources refer equally to solid waste that municipal governments are responsible for, by statute or bylaw. It is distinguished here from indus- trial/commercial/institutional (ICI) or private-sector solid waste, which municipal governments may handle for a fee but which may also be handled privately. Confusion arises because the latter waste is often also called municipal waste.

The recent Sep. 1, 1993 75.00 90.00 history of fees collected at Metro May 1,1994 50.00 70.00 facilities for disposal of this waste are detailed in Table 3. Reliable data are not available as to the precise origin of this waste; the respective proportions from Durham, Metro Toronto, and York are not known. The distribution of employment among the regions set out in Table 1 suggests that in 1991 more than 75 per cent of ICI waste disposed of at Metro facilities came from businesses in Metropolitan Toronto. Table 2 shows that the disposal of "commercial" (i.e., ICI or private•sector) waste at Metro's sites fell by 93 per cent between 1990 and 1993. This was mostly on account of the export of waste to the United States, discussed further in Sections 3 and 12. One result of this dramatic decline has been a massive loss of revenue to regional municipalities in the GTA, conservatively estimated in early 1994 at more than $270 million.° Since the reduction of Metro's tipping fee to $50 per tonne at the landfill sites in May 1994, private-sector waste is being received for disposal at an annual rate of about 525,000 tonnes rather than the 1993 rate of 120,000 tonnes. Overall, disposal of waste at Metro's two landfill sites fell by 44 per cent between 1990 and 1994, resulting in substantial extensions of the estimated remaining operating times of the two sites. The Brock West landfill site was to be full in late 1990; it is now expected to be full in 1995=1997. The Keele Valley landfill site was to be full in 1993; it is now expected to be full in 1998-2002. Metro's current actual cost of operating its landfill sites is $16 per tonne; transfer station and haulage operations cost $31 per tonne (both include amortized capital costs). Metro does not charge its local municipalities for disposal of the waste they collect, although it has had the authority to do so since 1990. Metro presently charges local municipalities in Durham and York the $50-per-tonne commercial rate for municipal waste received at its landfill sites. Historically there has been a rebate on the fee for Durham and York; now only York receives a rebate, which was approximately $15 per tonne in 1994 and is being negotiated for 1995. (The matter of a Guy Crittenden, Greening the party, bankrupting the province, Hazardous Materials Management June 1994. l PAGE 5 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 rebate for commercial waste from York Region disposed of a Metro sites is the subject of a $100-million-plus law suit launched by York against Metro.) Peel Region's waste has been disposed of mostly at the regionally owned Britannia landfill site in Mississauga and also, since 1992, at the privately owned Peel Resources Recovery Inc. (PRRI) incinerator in Brampton. Table 4 shows the source of this waste-municipal or commercial, Table 4 : Waste disposed at Peel Region facilities (tonnes), 1990-1994 Year Municipal sources Com- mercial sources Total dis- posed of Incinerated (net) Sent to landfill Municipal waste per capita (kg)* 1990 286,580 338,178 624,758 0 624,758 411 1991 267,878 200,826 468,704 0 468,704 366 1992 279,964 19,775 299,739 79,981 219,758 365 1993 284,949 14,922 299,871 84,870 215,001 354 1994 295,188 24,151 319,339 87,421 231,918 350 *Assumes an overall 4.8 per cent annual population growth in Peel Region (see Table t). much as in Table 2, except that large apartment buildings in Peel mostly benefit from municipal collection-for each of the years 1990 to 1994 and also the destination of the waste: landfill or incinerator.5 The trends in waste received for disposal by Peel Region, shown in Table 4, are similar to those described in Table 2 for Metropolitan Toronto, Durham, and York. Municipal waste received for disposal by Peel Region felt by just over 8 per cent in 1991 and has since increased in each year. However, the municipal waste flow per capita has fallen in each year-overall by 15 per cent between 1990 and 1994. Commercial waste disposed of by Peel Region fell by more than 95 per cent between 1990 and 1993; there was a small increase in the receipt of commercial waste in 1994 but the 1994 amount is still less than 9 per cent of the 1990 amount. Overall, the amount of waste disposed of by Peel Region fell by 48 per cent. The decline in waste sent to landfill by Peel Region has been larger-62 per cent on account of the opening of the incinerator-and has produced a commensurate increase in the potential life of the Britannia site to four or more years beyond its targeted closing in October 1997. However, there is a provincial commitment to the site's neighbours that the site will not be used beyond October 1997 6 s The amount incinerated is 127,900 tonnes a year, which is the amount specified in the contract between Peel Region and PRRI. Residuals such as bottom ash are included in the landfill totals in Table 4. The current disposal charge by PRRI to Peel is $68.89 per tonne. Implicit subsidies by Peel add about $15-20 a tonne to the effective tipping fee. The subsidies are in respect of disposal of bottom and fly ash, disP9sa1 of unacceptable materials, environmental testing, and exemption from municipal taxes. a Use of the Britannia site beyond October 1997 could also expose both Peel Region and the provincial government to compensation suits by owners of land within a buffer zone around the site, land whose use is frozen during landfill operations. PAGE 6 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE R T R NT G EATER O O O AREA, 1990-1997 Peel resentl char es $80 er tonne for the dis sal of rivate-sector waste. The Re ' a P Y g P Po p ( gton 1 Council is considering for the second time whether to bring the tipping fee down to Metro's level of $50 per tonne.) Operating costs for the Britannia landfill site are in the order of $20 per tonne. Capital costs are low because only the cost of a site extension is being covered; site construction was paid for during the life of the originally approved facility. From May 1, 1995, Peel Region will assume responsibility for the collection and other waste management services presently provided by its local municipalities, pursuant to provisions of the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 1993 (Bill 7). This action required a majority vote of the Regional Council, a majority that included at least one representative of each of the three local councils. As a consequence of the integration of waste management functions, the regional share of property taxes in Peel will be higher and the local share will be lower, with a possible overall decrease in property taxes. Halton Region's municipal and private-sector waste was exported from the Region, mostly to the United States, until its new landfill site opened in November 1992. The new landfill site was sized at 4 million tonnes to take both municipal and private-sector waste for 20 years, a condition of approval being that an incinerator was to be constructed after eight years of use to take half the total waste. Now almost no private-sector waste is going to the site on account of export of this waste. Thus the site is receiving waste at an annual rate of close to 80,000 tonnes rather than the expected 200,000 tonnes; the site could last for 40 or more years rather than 20 years. The total cost of Halton Region's new landfill site was approximately $50 million. This trans- lates into a current capital cost of $75 per tonne; the current operating cost is $37 per tonne. The disposal charge for local municipalities and the private sector is $150 per tonne. Halton Regional Council will be considering integration of all waste management operations at the regional level in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness and to save costs. ~ Integration of waste management operations in Durham. Halton, and York would also require only the same kind of majority vote of the regional council. In Metro, because Metro Councillors are directly elected, integration would require both a simple majority vote of the Metro Council and the consent of four of the six local councils. However, on January 1, 1997, according to Section 160(2) of the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 1993, all waste management powers will reside automatically with regional municipalities in the GTA, including Metropolitan Toronto. In the meantime, there is considerable friction between Metro and some of the local municipalities concerning the marketing of what are now valuable recyclable materials (see Section 4) and who should receive the proceeds of their sale. t PAGE 7 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 3. Factors affecting the decline in receipts of ICI waste at Metro and Peel facilities The major trend in waste management during the last few years has been the large decline in private-sector, revenue-producing waste received for disposal by the regional municipalities, as illustrated in Table 2 and Table 4. Three factors have contributed to this trend: (i) export of waste to landfill sites in the United States; (ii) the sharp economic recession that reached a peak in 1991 and from which there has been only a faltering recovery in the GTA; and (iii) waste diversion programs in the private sector, prompted in part by municipal action such as bans on specific materials at landfill sites. Teasing out the relative importance of the three factors is difficult on account of the lack of hard data, a consequence of there being no notification proce- dures with respect to the dis- position of waste by private sector handlers a Moreover, the availability of relatively inex- pensive opportunities for dis- posal of waste in the United States has likely reduced the amount of reduction, reuse, and recycling by commercial waste Table S.

Data and estimates from various sources suggest that the decline of 1.92 million tonnes per year can be attributed in the manner set out in Table 5. Export of waste rapidly became the preferred method of waste management in the private sector during 1991 mainly because from July of that year the U.S. Department of Agriculture no longer required non-hazardous solid wastes imported from Canada to be incinerated. Landfill facilities e Environment Canada has established a voluntary notification program involving five large companies operating in the GTA: BFI, Laidlaw, WMI, Conwaste, and Leferink. Quarterly reports on composition, quantities, and disposition will be filed with respect to waste handled during 1995. Data will not neces- sarily be available to the public. (Existing Waste Disposal Capacity and Export and Other Losses of Non- Hazardous Waste, Interim Waste Authority, March 1995.) 9 See, The Export of Solid Waste from Canada to the U.S., Recycling Council of Ontario, February 1994. Also, Is waste export hurting the recycling industry?, RCO Update, Recycling Council of Ontario, January 1994. PAGE 8 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA 1990-1997 in the United States became available to Ontario waste handlers at a cost of between $40 and $80 per tonne including haulage (Canadian funds). At this time tipping fees at the only major facilities in the GTA (those operated by Metro and Peel) were $150 per tonne. The inevitable result was massive export of waste from the GTA. The imposition of stricter controls on U.S. landfill sites-under Subtitle D of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act-was expected to .increase costs to Ontario waste handlers, but costs do not appear to have increased. (Data on this matter are few.) Reductions in tipping fees during 1993 to $80 per tonne (Peel) and $75 per tonne (Metro) had no apparent effect on the amount of export. However, Metro's May 1994 reduction to $50 per tonne appears to have reduced the exported proportion of ICI waste that might otherwise go to GTA sites from about 90 per cent to about 60 per cent. Thus it seems that a local tipping fee that would wholly prevent export of waste may be well below $50 per tonne.to Since March 3, 1995, designated major ICI waste generators of waste in Ontario have been required by law to conduct waste audits, prepare waste reduction plans, and have source separation programs in place, all of which, if enforced, may increase the amount of diversion and thus further reduce the amount of export. 4. Diversion of waste from disposal When most private-sector waste sent for disposal was being handled by the regional municipali- ties there was much municipal activity directed at reducing this waste. Bans were instituted with respect to the disposal at municipal landfill sites of several kinds of material including corru- gated cardboard, fine paper, drywall, wood waste, scrap metal, clean fill, concrete, and rubble. As well as the material bans, the regional municipalities were taking other steps to facilitate the diversion of private-sector waste; a notable example was the "industrial waste exchange" managed by Peel Region. These various activities were likely beginning to cause significant diversion of waste from disposal in mid-1991, just at the time large amounts of waste began to be exported to the United States-as discussed in Sections 3 and 12. The emergence of less expensive export to the United States as the main method of handling private-sector waste in the GTA effectively nullified municipal efforts to help diversion of private-sector waste from disposal. It also made the tracking of progress with respect to diversion io Alternatively, many waste generators may have become locked into long-term contracts with large vertically integrated waste-management companies, precluding the possibility of an early response to local reductions in tipping fees. This point is argued in A Public Authority jor 3Rs in the GTA, prepared by Harold Crooks for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, 1994. PAGE 9 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 of private-sector waste from disposal extremely difficult because, as noted in Section 3, no re- porting procedures are in place for waste taken to the United States. Current rates of diversion of private-sector waste can only be guessed at, as has been done here in Table 5. There is firmer knowledge about the extent of diversion of municipal waste from disposal, as practised by or for regional and local governments. Amounts of potential municipal waste diver- ted tiltough composting and recycling during 1994 are shown~in Table 6. Diversion rates have increased substantially during the last decade Table 6. Municipal waste diverted in 1994, by regional municipality (in thousands of tonnes). and the rates of 16 to 34 per cent recorded during 1994 are likely to be exceeded in subsequent years. Reg- ional and local officials believe that the achiev- able diversion rate is 35-50 per cent; i.e., more than present levels but mostly not enough to reach the provincial target of 50 per cent by 2000. Whe- ther much more than the pi:esent percentages are achieved may de- pend on the establish- ment of effective col- Region Collected for disposal Collected: -tor recycling Collected for com- posting Total collected Percent- age diverted' Dufiam 120 21 7 148 21 Halton 77 27 9 113 34 Metro 968 131 71 1170 19 Peel 295 43 5 343 16 York 146 26 23 195 27 Totals 1,606 248 115 1,969 20 * These.percentages have been somewhat arbitrarily increased by two points in each case to reflect the impact of municipally supported backyard composting programs. The percentages in some cases do not take into account various minor items such as material sent to landfill after processing for recycling and recycling of 'white goods'-omissions that may well cancel each other out. Thus the estimates of percentages diverted may be reasonable, although they should nevertheless be regarded as very approximate. Peel Region officials estimate that with new arrangements to be in place in May 1995 the annualized amount diverted will be increased by about 40,000 tonnes a year, which will raise its diversion rate to approximately 27 per cent. lection systems and processing facilities for kitchen waste. Estimating and comparing the current costs of recycling and composting in each of the regions is a difficult matter on account of the wide variety of arrangements across the regions involving the local and regional municipalities and the public and private sectors. What is nevertheless clear is that the last year has seen a remarkable decline in the potential net costs of recycling programs. The major change has been in the revenue from the sale of recyclable material, which has iricreased from an average of $35 per tonne a year ago to more than $100 per tonne early in 1995. Collection and processing costs have also declined. Total system costs of recycling programs PAGE 10 vERVi W AREA 1990-19 7 O EW OF ASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO 9 (net of revenue but not subsidies) now likely range between $0 and $120 per tonne diverted. The typical total system net composting programs may be a little higher.tt The actual costs of waste diversion activities to regional and local governments are reduced by grants from the provincial government. Provincial operating subsidies until recently reduced municipal gross costs by a third; now the grants are set at one third of net costs. Provincial contributions of one third towards capital costs are available in theory; in practice capital grants for equipment and facilities for waste diversion appear to have been discontinued. Grants from a private-sector program-OMMRI (Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc.)-are no longer available. The costs of waste diversion programs are still mostly higher per tonne than the costs of disposal in established facilities but are falling to the same order as the likely costs of disposal in new facilities, thus providing a substantial incentive for further diversion.tZ Higher rates of diversion could reduce diversion costs further because of economies of scale. They could also increase costs on account of greater difficulties of processing a wider range of types of material. Revenues from the sale of recyclable materials have historically been extremely variable. A fall in revenues to, for example, 1992 levels would dramatically reduce the financial viability of diversion programs.13 5. Present and future requirements for waste disposal Presently about 1.75 million tonnes of municipal waste is being disposed of in the GTA (including Halton Region). Very roughly another 1.5 million tonnes of ICI waste generated in the 11 For example, contracts with private-sector operators to have effect from May 1, 1995 in Peel Region will cost the Region $70.50 per tonne for operation of an extended blue-box program and $106.20 per tonne for operation of a composting program. iz There is much variation among regions in early 1995, mostly according to the recency of signing of contracts. The Region of Waterloo, near the GTA, may actually be making a profit on blue box opera- tions. Revenues of $197 per tonne are reported, which more than offset collection costs of $82 a tonne and processing costs of $41 a tonne (RCO Policy Bulletin, February 11, 1995). At the other extreme may be Metro, which is party to a long-term contract to supply used newspapers at $18 per tonne even though the current market value is in the order of $125 per tonne. (However, ongoing negotiations may change Metro's situation dramatically.) i3 In 1992, revenues per tonne diverted in the GTA were within the range S10 to $20 per tonne. Total system net costs for recycling, composting, and other diversion programs then ranged between 5107 and $243 per tonne diverted.

PAGE 11 1 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 GTA is being sent for disposal (mostly elsewhere). Thus the total present requirement for disposal is in the order of 3.25 million tonnes. The present authors' estimates of possible future requirements for selected years are indicated in Table 7 together with the IWA's estimates for the years such estimates are available. Table 7.

IWA estimates of amounts requiring disposal 257 2 73 299 (millions of tonnes) The authors' estimates of the amounts of waste requiring disposal in Table 7 assume the following: (i) that the practice of waste reduction is such as to offset half the growth in popula- tion and economic activity; and (ii) that the indicated diversion rates for reuse and recycling (including composting and anaerobic digestion14 of organic waste) are achieved. These estimates of amounts of waste aze generally lower than those produced by the IWA in its EPA documenta- lion-which are indicated where compazable in the bottom row of Table 7-even though the IWA's estimates do not include waste generated in Halton Region. (The estimates developed here may be mostly lower than the IWA's estimates because the ones developed here assume a greater rate of waste reduction.) Even-the lower estimates of the amounts of waste requiring disposal in the foreseeable future indicate that substantial amounts of disposal capacity will be required. If 2.26 million tonnes will have to be disposed in the GTA of in 2005, facilities capable of handing some 8,000 tonnes a day will have to be in place. The Halton landfill facility and the PRRI incinerator will between them be able to handle about 1,000 tonnes per day of this total; therefore new facilities to handle 7,000 tonnes a day will have to be made available, in the GTA or elsewhere. is Anaerobic digestion involves decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and methane. Controlled anaerobic digestion in closed containers is a more effective and environmentally benign method of handling kitchen and other putrescible wastes than conventional windrow composting (which is more suitable for yard wastes). It is also more expensive, although the costs of anaerobic digestion are set to fall while those of windrow composting are set to rise. (Biogas from Municipal Solid Waste: Overview of Systems and Markets for Anaerobic Digestion of MSW, Ministry of Energy, Denmark, and the Netherlands Agency for Energy and the Environment, 1994.) PAGE 12 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 6. Actions of the provincial government The Liberal provincial government in office from 1987 to 1990 was moving towards atwo-track strategy for the GTA's waste, in response to what was then perceived to be an almost imminent lack of landfill capacity. Interim sites were to be established in the GTA after an attenuated approval process to provide a period during which long-term facilities .could be identified, approved, and established. A committee of the regional chairs and the Minister of the Environ- ment, known as the Solid Waste Interim Steering Committee (SWISC), was slowly emerging into aregionally-driven, GTA-wide authority that would have carriage of the long-term process and most other matters to do with waste management. The New Democratic Party government elected in September 1990 met a promise made during the election campaign and scrapped the process of establishing interim sites. In November 1990, the new government proposed the formation of a provincial agency, the Interim Waste Authority (IWA), to search for new disposal capacity for the GTA. A subsequent announcement suggested that the new authority might be responsible for all aspects of waste management, perhaps along the lines of the emerging strategy of the previous government; but early in 1991 it became clear that the IWA was to be responsible only for selecting long-term landfill facilities and securing approval of them. The Waste Reduction Office was established within what was then the Ministry of the Environment to develop and implement legislation and programs designed to ensure compliance with the government's targets of 25 per cent diversion from disposal by 1992 and 50 per cent by 2000. A GTA project section was established within the Waste Reduction Office. Three sites were to be selected by the IWA: one in Peel Region to serve that region only; one in Durham Region to serve that region only; and one in York Region or Metropolitan Toronto to serve those two jurisdictions. (Halton's new site had just been approved and Halton was accord- ingly excluded from the remit of the IWA.) The sites were to be sized to take all residual waste (i.e., all municipal and ICI waste after meeting diversion targets) from the respective service areas for 20 years. In April 1992, the provincial legislature passed the Waste Management Act. Parts I and II of the Act concern the actions of the IWA (whose status changed from being a provincially owned business corporation to that of a statutory body) and the approval process for the three landfill sites to be chosen. Significant aspects of the approval process are that only one landfill site in each of Durham, Peel, and York or Metro may be proposed, as indicated in the previous para- graph, and that new incineration facilities may not be considered as an alternative. A subsequent regulation prohibited establishment of incinerators for non-hazardous waste anywhere in the province. Part III of the Waste Management Act dealt with the strategy to address the expected imminent shortfall in disposal capacity in the GTA; Part IV provided wider powers to the provincial government to help achieve its waste diversion targets of 25 per cent by the end of 1992 and 50 per cent by 2000. `~ PAGE 13 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 Subsequent significant actions by the provincial government concerned powers-and responsibili- ties with respect to waste diversion. The actions comprised passage by the legislature in October 1993 of An Act to Amend Certain Acts related to Municipalities Concerning Waste Management (also known as Bill 7, or as the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 1993) and regulations filed in early 1994 requiring most municipalities to implement blue box waste management systems and leaf and yard waste systems. The regulations also require most large public- and private-sector organizations to conduct waste audits, prepare waste reduction plans, and imple- ment source separation plans; many businesses are required by the regulations to undertake packaging audits and packaging reduction work plans. In June 1994 the government and the packaging industry announced a proposal for the funding of packaging recycling in Ontario, designed to replace the provincial government's present one- third share of what is now the net cost of municipal recycling programs with industry funding.ts The proposal suggested that the municipal share of the gross cost of the programs could decline from the present 39 per cent to an average of 33 per cent. Nevertheless, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and several individual municipalities have rejected the proposal. AMO's concerns are to reduce the municipal share of recycling costs further, to achieve enforcement by the provincial government of its regulations concerning refillable soft drink containers, and to extend the proposed arrangement to~include paper fibres. After a process that involved consideration of more than 300 potential landfill sites in the three targeted regions, and was at least as controversial as the process for selecting interim sites conducted under the auspices of the 1987-1990 provincial government, the IWA identified three sites and is proceeding towards securing approval of them. The 119-hectare, 6.6-million-tonne- capacity Durham site, known as EEll, is within the Town of Pickering and lies south west of the intersection of Taunton Road and the CPR tracks; the site is owned by the provincial government and is close to both the Brock West landfill facility and one of the sites cancelled by the government when it took office in 1990. The 122-hectare, 10.3-million-tonne-capacity Peel site, known as C-34B, is within the Town of Caledon and. lies south west of 5th Line between King Street and Healy Road; the site is privately owned. The 270-hectare, 39.2-million-tonne- capacity York-Metro site, known as V4A, is within the City of Vaughan and lies south east of the intersection of Jane Street and the King-Vaughan Road; the site is privately owned and is located some two kilometres from the Keele Valley landfill facility. is The funding of packaging recycling in Onmrio: a proposal by the Canadian Industry Packaging Stewardship Initiative (CIPSI Ontario), distributed by the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy for public consultation, June 8, 1994. The proposal has been welcomed as a clear improvement over the present situation by the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy (C1FI.AP), but also criticized on several counts including the insufficient provision for redress in the event CIPSI or its members fail to meet their obligations to municipalities (Editorial, CIELAP Newsletter, Summer 1994). The Recycling Council of Ontario supports the CIPSI initiative in principle but has raised several con- cerns about its likely effectiveness. The Ontario Waste Management Association has declined to endorse the proposal, chiefly because the proposal favours public-sector over private-sector recycling efforts (RCO Update. September 1994). PAGE 14 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997. The government has not yet announced plans for the ownership and operation of the sites, should they be approved. The Minister of Environment and Energy appointed a special advisor (David Crombie) to review the matter and retained a consultant (MacViro Consultants Inc.) to collect relevant information and analyze potential ownership scenarios: provincial, regional, and inter- regional. Their findings have not been made public. A possibly related matter is the specific exclusion of waste management from the mandate of the recently formed Premier's Task Force on the Greater Toronto Area, headed by Anne Golden. 7. Financial arrangements for the IWA sites Critical to the acceptance and feasibility of the IWA's proposed sites are their likely capital and operating costs, and the tipping fees that must be charged to cover these costs. The IWA's estimates of these costs and likely fees, in 1993 dollars, are provided in Environmental Protec- tion Act documents filed with the Environmental Assessment Board in November 1994. The IWA's estimated tipping fees are set out in the first row of Table 8, followed by the present authors' breakdown of each fee, based on information in the IWA's doctuments. Below these breakdowns are listed adjustments the authors' feel should be made to the IWA's estimates, ex- plained briefly in the next paragraph. The adjustments mostly concern items not taken into Table 8. !WA's estimates of the tipping fees jor Its proposed sites, details of rnmponenls of the IWA's estimates, items omitted Jhom !WA's estimates, authors' estimates of addidonal costs of these items, and authors' estimates of likely tipping fees-all in /9935' per tonne ojwaste IandffUed t t Durham Peel York- site site Metro site IWA's tipping fee estimates: 53.00 40.29 33.00 Authors' breakdown of above estfmates: Site acquisition 8.76 0.84 1.41 OH-site capital 1.16 0.73 0.59 On•aite capital 24.67 18.52 22.70 Operating 16.58 18.62 7.29 Post-closure 1.83 1.57 1.01 Authors' adjustments• to the IWA's estfmates: (a) IWA's costs 4.82 3.67 3.00 (b) Site acquisition -4.38 0.42 0.71 (c) Debt ssrvidng 4.98 220 299 (d) Mtidpated conditions of approval 5.84 4.66 3.97 (e) Contingency for shortfall in waste 9.64 7.68 6.55 Authors' tipping fee estimates: 73.90 58.91 50.22 Percentage diHsrsncs between estimates 3996 4696 5296 *See Items (a) to (e) in the text o4 the next page for explanations PAGE 15 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 account by the IWA in arriving at its tipping fee estimates. The final row in Table 8 sets out the authors' estimates of the required tipping fees, which take into account the noted adjustments and are substantially higher than the IWA's estimates although still lower than recent experience with a new site in the GTA.16 The present authors' adjustments to the IWA's estimates take into account these factors: (a) The IWA did not provide for its own costs. These are assumed to be a charge against the site revenues and to total $100 million in 1993 dollars, apportioned to each site according to its expected revenues over the 20-year life of the sites. (b) The IWA's estimates of site acquisition costs appear to be extraordinarily high for the Durham sitet~ and extraordinarily low for the other two sites. Somewhat arbitrarily, the first has been reduced by a half and the other two have been doubled (c) The IWA made no provision for the costs of debt servicing. Capital costs to be incurred before the end of the first full year of operation are presumed to funded by debt retired in equal annual instalments over the 20-year life of the sites at an annual real interest rate of 3.0 per cent (i.e. 3.0 percentage points above the 5.5 per cent discount rate used in the IWA's net-present-value calculations). Capital costs to be incurred after the end of the first year of operation are assumed to be funded from revenue as they arise. (d) The IWA made no provision for increased expenditures that might be required os a result of conditions imposed during the approval process. A provision of 10 per cent of the total of the foregoing costs has been made. (e) The IWA's estimates assume improbably that all waste requiring deposal will go the proposed sites Data presented earlier in this overview suggest that with the present tipping fee of $50 per tonne at Metro sites, no more than about 70 per cent of the municipal and pri- vate-sector waste sent for disposal from sources in the GTA actually goes to sites in the GTA (see Section 3). The remainder is mostly exported; some is handled illegally. The future of waste export is uncertain (see Section 12) but prudence suggests that some provision should be made for continued export or some other factor that may result in a shortfall in waste re- ceipts. Aconservative provision fora 15 per cent possible shortfall is made here. i6 The only recently established site in the GTA, the Halton site, requires revenue of $112 per tonne to cover its capital and operating costs, as noted in Section 2. 17 The high acquisition costs for the provincially owned Durham site have been estimated by the IWA in recognition of the provincial government's plans to create the new community of Seaton on land in and adjacent to the same location (notwithstanding provincial policies designed to discourage "greenficld" development). Establishment of the landfill facility would compromise the development of the site and thus reduce its value to the government for development purposes. The winning design for the Seaton community was the Ontario Form Collaborative, whose 1994 proposal A Plan for Seaton included the following: "It will be difficult to promote Seaton as a community enjoying an enviable natural setting, one reflecting sensitivity towards environmental values, when it resides in the shadow of a dump; at the very least, from a marketing perspective, a development at Seaton would have to overcrorne the stigma of the dump site; the truck activity on the road, and the intermittent odour from the dump, which tray drift over the new community, would form obvious disincentives to prospective purchasers." (Appendix 4). The proposed sites for the Peel and York-Metro facilities are almost entirely in private ownership. PAGE 16 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 The authors' adjustments do not take into account the need for a replacement reserve or for funds for certain waste diversion activities, provision of which had been a usual consideration in the setting of tipping fees. Of the authors' adjustments, the largest and most uncertain is the last: the contingency for shortfalls in waste receipts. Even with the conservative provision for shortfalls proposed here, the tipping fees at the IWA's sites may have to be set at highei` levels to recover costs than will be required to make them competitive with other opportunities for waste disposal. If less than 85 per cent of the anticipated waste is received, there will be an annual revenue deficiency that will have to be corrected by fee increases. The fee increases 'will make the IWA sites even less competitive, reduce the volumes of waste received, and create a need for further fee increases. The result will be a downward spiral from which the sites could be rescued only by subsidiza- tion. At least as long as low-cost export of waste continues to be available, the IWA sites nut the risk of not being financially viable. 8. Responses to the provincial government's actions There have been few positive comments on the present provincial government's handling of waste management issues. (Earlier governments also attracted few positive comments on their performance in this area.) Negative comments about the government's handling of waste management issues since September 1990 have been mostly in the form of: Specific objections to-the sites selected by the 1WA. The site selected by the IWA in Peel has been criticized because it will directly affect the aquifer that supplies the nearby com- munity of Bolton and feeds into the Humber River. The site selected in York has been com- prehensively attacked in a document issued by the City of Vaughan that expresses concerns about IWA's selection and approval process, the loss of agricultural land, potential damage to streams and groundwater, air quality, heritage, traffic, sewer capacity, and other matters.18 The chief objection to the site selected in Durham has been its proximity to existing and former landfill sites and the added burdens on neighbours to those sites (an issue also in the case of the site proposed for York region). • Concern about the government's violation of the integrity of the Environmental Assessment Act The Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) and the Environmental Protec- tion Act together provide the legislative basis for protection of the environment in Ontario. The EAA requires that all reasonable alternatives to a proposed undertaking be given full is Ow Backyard u Fuld City of Vaughan, June 1994. PAGE 17 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 consideration. The Waste Management Act violates this central principle by prohibiting con- sideration of landfill sites outside the GTA, incineration facilities, and even~the possibility of waste diversion beyond 50 per cent, whether or not such alternatives might be reasonable and prove environmentally more sound than landfill facilities within the GTA. The government's reasons for prohibiting incineration are discussed in Section 13. Complaints about government inaction towards and even complicity in the export of large amounts of waste to the United States. The export of ICI waste to the United States began during 1991 for the reasons given in Section 3. The provincial government has ap- proved private•sector transfer stations used as part of the waste-export process and has not appeared to have taken action to prevent the export of waste. Regional officials, aghast at the resulting loss of revenue, have expressed the view that the government has condoned the export of waste to the United States in order to extend the life of existing landfill sites within the GTA and thus reduce the urgency to replace them. The matter. of waste export is dis- cussedfurther in Section 12. Criticism of the lack of development of an integrated approach to waste reduction and disposal. A central principle in the management of used materials is that the disposal of waste, which is potentially arevenue-generating service, should be coordinated with pro- grams to divert waste from disposal, which, at least initially, can be expensive to implement. The government has been criticized for violating this principle by establishing sepazate, ap- pazently unrelated entities to address these functions within the provincial domain: the Waste Reduction Office within what is now the Ministry of Environment and Energy for waste diversion and the Interim Waste Authority for waste disposal. The actions of these two bod- ies are poorly integrated with continuing municipal management of waste reduction and dis- posal operations. Reproach about the lack of proper consultation before .action is taken. A frequent criticism of recent government actions concerning waste has concerned lack of proper con- sultation, on the one hand, and insensitive application of regulations, on the other. An ex- ample given of the lack of proper consultation has been the absence of meetings between the head of the IWA, which is responsible for securing disposal facilities, and the chairs of the regional councils, which continue to be responsible for waste disposal and may well have responsibility for managing the sites secured by the IWA. An example given of the insensi- tive application of regulations was the requirement that municipalities establish leaf and yard waste systems by January 1, 1995; the notice was extremely short and the date of implemen- tation-in mid-winter and just after the municipal elections-was inappropriate. In spite of these criticisms, most often voiced at the regional level of government, there have also been reluctant expressions of gratitude by regional officials towazds the provincial government for taking carriage of the increasingly intractable matter of identifying waste disposal sites. These expressions have been tempered by uncertainty as to the roles for regional and local governments in the management of the sites for which the IWA may achieve approval. PAGE 18 E L OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 9. Status and future of the IWA process The IWA is the proponent of three separate undertakings-the sites in Durham, Peel, and York- each of which must follow separate but identical processes of approval. The IWA's environmental assessment documents for the three proposed landfill sites were submjtted to the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) on May 31, 1994. The Waste Management Act requires that the government's reviews of the documents be completed in 60 days. The reviews, each of which usually takes between 300 and 1,000 days under regular Environmental Assessment Act procedures, are for the purposes of identifying, evaluating, and weighing the strengths and weaknesses of the material. As• well as MOEE officials, reviews of environmental assessment documents usually involve officials of numerous other provincial ministries and agencies and officials of several federal ministries and agencies. Where reviewers find significant weaknesses they may request that changes be made and that further studies be carried out. Notices of Completion of Government Review with respect to the three undertakings were published on August 2. No significant weaknesses were identified; no changes or further studies were requested. The next step is normally for the proponent (the IWA) to complete detailed assessments of the sites and prepare technical reports and conceptual design and operations reports in connection with applications for approval under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA). Then preliminary hearings are conducted to identify parties to the main hearings, define the issues in dispute in each case, and establish timetables for the exchange of information and other activi- ties. Preliminary hearings with respect to all three sites by a Joint Board of the Environmental Assessment Board and the Ontario Municipal Board began in October 1994, before release of the EPA Part V documentation in November. The original schedule proposed by the IWA was for the preliminary hearings and for hearings concerning intervenor funding (by a different panel) all to be concluded by the end of November 1994, and for the main hearings to begin in March 1995. The preliminary hearings actually had several phases that lasted until February 1995. A hearing under the Intervenor Funding Project Act to determine whether qualified objectors should receive funding from the IWA was begun on April 10. The hearing was aborted when the hearing panel resigned on discovery that it communicated improperly with the Joint Board. A new panel is to hear funding applications later in April, with decisions to be announced by early May. If there are no further delays-unlikely in view of recent experience-the main hearings will begin in early November 1995. The most significant outcome of the preliminary hearings was a ruling by the Joint Board that present practices with respect to waste management-notably the export of waste to the United States-can be considered as a factor in the approval of each site. What this may mean is that the kind of econometric analysis begun in Sections 3 and 7 above will be extremely relevant. The Joint Board hinted during the preliminary hearings that (i) it is unlikely to reject a site on the PAGE 19 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 grounds that it is oversized because waste might be exported during its defined life of 20 years; (ii) it is unlikely to allow consideration of other sites that may now seem large enough because. waste will be exported; and (iii) it will consider the possibility that a site may be in use for much longer than 20 years and that, consequently, higher standards should be required in its construc- tion and operation. (A requirement for higher standards. would likely increase the need for revenue and make a site less competitive.) The Joint Board has directed that the main hearings in respect of acceptance of the environ- mental assessments of the IWA's proposed sites and approval of the sites be held in two phases. During the first phase, evidence will be heard concerning the Greater Toronto Area 3Rs Analysis produced in May 1994 for the IWA by the Ministry of Environment and Energy. This document was produced pursuant to requirements of the Waste Management Act and provides the basis for the sizing of the sites selected by the IWA.19 Evidence concerning waste export will also be heard during this phase, which will be conducted by a single Joint Board for all three sites. The second phase of the hearings will be site-specific: evidence in respect of each site will be heard separately, although the Joint Board in each case may comprise the same individual Board members. Preliminary hearings with respect to the second phase are to begin in May 1995. The second phase of main hearings will likely begin during 1996 and may continue into 1997. Use of the sites, if approved, will not be possible before 1998 and perhaps not unti11999. The hearings are being held under the Consolidated Hearings Act and are concerned primarily with compliance with the Waste Management Act, the Environmental Assessment Act and the Environmental Protection Act. The Joint Board or Boards will also rule on numerous other matters, including: • Applications under the Planning Act for amendments to local and regional official plans, where they exist, and rezonings that will be required in respect of each of the sites. • Applications under the Expropriation Act to expropriate private lands that might be required for the sites, where purchase agreements have not been reached with owners. • Applications under the Ontario Water Resources Act, the Conservation Authorities Act, and the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act in respect of storm and surface water management facilities. • Appeals in the event that the Regional Councils do not consent to the establishment of the landfill facilities, where the consent of the Region is required by statute (certainly in the case of Durham and York and possibly in the case of Peel). is One concern of participants in the hearings on the IWA sites is that the Ministry of Environment and Energy is acting as a co-proponent with the IWA and is thus possibly compromising its statutory re- sponsibility as a regulator. PAGE 20 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 10. Possible changes in the IWA process Each of the two opposition parties in the provincial legislature has said that, on forming the government after the 1995 provincial election, it would abolish the Interim Waste Authority and repeal the Waste Management Act.20 The delays noted in Section 9 mean that a new government would likely be able to act before the main hearings with respect to the three sites began. However, the impact of such actions on the hearings is uncertain. Scrapping the IWA and repealing the Waste Management Act could have the effect of aborting the processes of approval; the applications would no longer have a proponent and the submitted environmental assessments of the sites would be inadequate because the exemptions permitted by the Waste Management Act would not apply. A new government might, however, act in some way to keep the proposed sites "on the table" to avoid wasting the more than $100 million that will have been spent by the present government on moving towards their approval. Allowing continued consideration of what are now the I:WA's proposed sites would be consistent with the opposition parties' commitments to allow consideration of al! options; it would respect the basic principle of the Environmental Assessment Act that all reasonable alternatives-which may include the IWA sites-be considered. Both opposition parties are also committed to bringing the regional governments back into the waste management process. These commitments might lead to attempts to hand over the proponency for the IWA's proposed sites to the respective regional governments or to a region- ally-controlled GTA authority. A fundamental question to be addressed by opposition parties is how their commitments might be implemented: i.e., how consideration of the IWA's proposed sites might be continued, how proponency of .them might be transferred to local interests, and how consideration of other options, including use of landfill facilities outside the GTA, incineration, and aggressive waste diversion might be introduced into the process-all in a manner that would provide for timely approval of new facilities. These various matters will require extensive consultations with the GTA's regional governments, which may not take similar positions on the issues. Possible differences will include how Metro's residential waste is to be handled and whether or not regional governments should be responsible for ICI waste. If new options for disposal are to be considered the current approvals process will have to be aborted or at least interrupted. Aborting the process and starting over again may be legally the neatest, and indeed the only possible way to introduce new options. However, interrupting the m Progressive Conservative Party leader, Mike Harris, to an anti-dump tally in York Region on February 5, 1993 (Toronto Star, February 6, 1993). Liberal Party leader, Lynn McLeod, to an anti-dump rally on October 20, 1994 (Toronto Star, October 21,1994). t PAGE 21 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 process, if feasible, may ensure better adherence to a timetable consistent with the need for replacement disposal capacity. One strategy may be for a new government to instruct the Environmental Assessment Board and the Ontario Municipal Board to delay the start of the main hearings for the IWA sites and allow simultaneous consideration of applications for approval with respect to alternatives, in a manner consistent with the Environmental Assessment Act. In the meantime, the question of the proponency of the IWA's proposed sites could be resolved. A problem with any alteration to the present process, and even with the present process, is that new facilities may not be in place before some or all of the existing disposal capacity is ex- hausted. If export of waste continues at its present level, .and if use of the Britannia site is allowed beyond 1997 there will likely be sufficient capacity to accommodate disposal needs in the GTA until 1999; a revised process could mean that new disposal capacity would not be in place unti12000 or later. The opposition parties seem uncleaz as to their likely approaches in government to the export of waste to the United States. On the one hand there is a desire to allow the mazket to prevail in order to keep disposal costs down for business. On the other hand there is recognition of the adverse features of export of waste set out in Section 12. In formulating policies for waste management in the GTA, the opposition parties must cazeful regard for the issues around the export of waste. They may be wise to give favourable consideration to discouraging export and urging the federal government to stop export-to the extent necessary and in a manner consistent with the North American Free Trade Agreement (see Section 12). The discussion in this section has focused on courses of action available to a new government, in part because election of a Liberal or Progressive Conservative majority government in 199 would seem to be the most likely occasion for change, and in part because the authors could not make an assessment of possible changes in the IWA process with•a continuing New Democratic government. A re-elected New Democratic government could embrace the kind of strategy proposed above, although in view of recent statements it would be difficult for it to do so?t Zi For example, in the legislature on June 6, 1994, the Minister of Environment and Energy reiterated the government's opposition to incineration (Xansarc~ page 6654). On the following day the same minister, in response to a proposal by the Ontario Waste Management Association (see Section 11 below), af- firmed support for the IWA process (Toronto Sun, June 8, 1994). The Chair of the IWA roamed recently that there will be "landfill chaos" in the GTA if the IWA were to be scrapped by a new govemment. (Toronto Sun, February 6,1995). PAGE 22 1 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1 J97 11. Alternatives to the IWA sites Disposal alternatives discussed in this section include the Adams Mine site near Kirkland Lake, a proposal to rail-haul the GTA's waste to a site in Herrick Valley in Ohio, the Ontario Waste Management Association's proposal to make use of public and private sites in the GTA and south-west Ontario, and possible proposals for incineration. This is by no means an exhaustive list of alternatives to one or more of the sites proposed by the IWA; an exhaustive list would include, for example, the proposal by Superior-Crawford Sand & Gravel Ltd. to use its worked out quarries next to the Keele Valley landfill facility as an alternative to the IWA's proposed V4A site. Adams Mine. This site includes five large open pits created during the mining of iron ore; it is situated 11 kilometres south east of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, a community that lies approximately 600 kilometres north of Toronto. The pits have a capacity of between 35 and 45 million tonnes of waste; the total site, with an area of some 1,600 hectares, has a much larger capacity. The site is owned by Notre Development Corporation, which sold an option to buy the site to Metropolitan Toronto. In March 1995, Metro Council approved purchase of an extension of the option until April 1997 (which includes the right to buy further extensions until December 2000). The Council also authorized expenditure of $4.1 million for work related to potential use of the site for waste disposal, including preparation for an environmental assessment. (Durham Regional Council has offered to share some of the costs of this work with Metro; York Regional Council is considering making a similar offer.) The work is to be completed before May 1996, when the question of proceeding with the proposal will be reviewed by Metro Council. The site lies on unincorporated land. The councils of the three closest communities conditionally support the use of the site for landfill. Waste for disposal and recycling would be sent to the site by rail or truck. Rail haulage would be from a terminal to be constructed in York Region. The effective tipping fee at the terminal was provisionally estimated in early 1994 to be between $46.56 and $58.47 a tonne (based on disposal of 40 million tonnes), the greatest.uncertainty being in connection with the cost of the long-distance haulage, which had not been precisely estimated. Herrick Valley. This is a former coal mine located 3 kilometres north east of Adena, Ohio, which is approximately 575 kilometres south west of Toronto. The 540-hectare site is owned, controlled or optioned by Waste Management of Ohio Inc., a subsidiary of WMX Technologies Inc. of Oak Brook, Illinois. The proposal to use the Herrick Valley site is being made by WMI Waste Management of Canada Inc. based in Mississauga, another subsidiary of WMX Tech- nologies. The 105-hectare disposal area has a capacity of 33.40 million tonnes. Neighbouring communities in Ohio appear to support the proposal. Waste would be compacted by municipal staff into rail-haul containers and shipped by CP Rail t® the landfill site at the rate of 3,000-6,500 tonnes a day. An effective tipping fee has not been established, although a fee in the range of $65-75 per tonne in 1994 dollars has been mentioned by a WMI official. Advantages of the pre>- posal, according to WMI, include the following: the site would be ready to receive waste in late 1996; the effective disposal fee would be locked in for 20 years with full indemnification against PAGE 23 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1 J97 interruption of service and other liabilities; no capital investment would be required of users; and although the system would meet or exceed Ontario standards there would no need for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act. (However, approval under Ohio's legislation may not be assured) Ontario Waste Management Association proposal. The OWMA has suggested that there is sufficient capacity in existing and potentially approvable public- and private-sector landfill sites in and around the GTA, not including the IWA sites, to meet the GTA's needs for municipal waste disposal for 35 years.u The estimated. total potential capacity is some 90 million tonnes, to be used at an estimated rate of 2.5 million tonnes a year. The largest components of the total are two "private-sector landfills awaiting approval": the Redland Quarry (25 million tonnes) in Hamilton-Wentworth Region and the Acton Quarry in Halton Region (17.5 million tonnes). Disposal of the GTA's ICI waste was not raised in the OWMA proposal, nor was the low likelihood of approval of one or both of the two largest sites. Incineration. There is no current proposal to locate an incinerator in or near the GTA, although at least one proposal is likely to be made during 1995, and construction of an incinerator by 1999 was a condition of approval of the Halton landfill site. Evidence concerning the relative envi- ronmental merits of landfill and incineration, reviewed briefly in Section 13, suggests that incineration should be considered for the purpose of sterilizing waste and much reducing its volume prior to ultimate disposal or re-use. Incineration also allows the possibility of recovery of useful energy from waste. Discussions with officials in Durham, Peel, and York Regions indicate that there may be sites in these regions at which the construction of incinerators could be acceptable. Metro officials suggest that locating one or more incinerators within Metropolitan Toronto would present political difficulties; whether processing Metro's waste at incinerators outside Metro would be acceptable remains to be seen. Experience, including that with the small PRRI incinerator in Peel Region (see Section 2), suggests that' the effective tipping fee for incineration would be in the order of $50-75 per tonne. The actual required fee will depend primarily on the size of the facility (usually 1,200 to 3,000 tonnes per day compared with the PRRI facility's 400 tonnes per day) and secondarily on the revenue from the sale of energy (which varies by a factor of four from place to place in the United States). u OWMA News Release, "What landfill crisis?: survey shows a 35-year capacity without 1tiVA sites," June 6,1994. ~ On March 17, 1995 a Joint Board of the Environmental Assessment Board and the Ontario Municipal Board, after 140 hearing days, released its decision not to accept the environmental assessment submitted in connection with the Redland Quarry proposal (formerly known as the Steetley-South Quarry proposal) and denied approval to proceed with the undertaking. The Joint Board determined that the rationale was inadequate and alternatives had not been adequately addressed. The Joint Board was concerned about several technical aspects of the proposal, and raised particular doubt as to whether hydraulic containment could be maintained throughout the potentially century-long contaminating lifespan of the site. This .doubt was expressed even though the proposal involved use of best available technology in the form of a low-permeability double composite liner, two separate leachate collection systems, a stress re- lief/groundwater management systems, and systems for surface water management. PAGE 24 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990.1997 Four key questions in considering options for the disposal of the GTA's waste are these: • Should residual waste (i.e., after reduction, source separation, etc.) beincinerated-thus sterilizing it and reducing its volume by more than 90 per cent-or should it be sent directly to landfill? • Should the residual waste be exported to locations outside the GTA or even outside Ontario? • Should waste producers, public and private, be directed to send their residual waste to desig- nated facilities or should there be a mazketplace of options for the handling of waste for dis- posal? • Which options are most compatible with optimum amounts of waste diversion? These matters and others are discussed in Sections 12 and 13. 12. Waste export and flow control This section considers azguments concerning the export of the GTA's waste from the GTA chiefly to facilities in the United States. It highlights the need to consider banning or curbing the export of waste, to the extent possible. The massive recent decline in the amount of waste disposed of at Metro and Peel Region facili- ties is documented in Section 2 above; Section 3 indicates that export of ICI waste to the United States has been the main reason for the decline. The decline appears to have been the result of increases in tipping fees at the municipal sites-also documented ~ in Section 2-that coincided with a relaxation of U.S. regulations regarding the importation of non-hazazdous waste. The tipping fees were raised in part for the purpose of reducing the flow of ICI waste, although the particulaz consequence~xport to low-cost facilities in the United States-was not anticipated. The tipping fees were also raised for revenue purposes, ~ specifically to increase reserves in anticipation of large expenditures for replacement facilities, although the revenue was also used to subsidize the handling of municipal waste and to pay for other programs. A recent lowering of the tipping fee for ICI waste at Metro sites has partially reverted the decline in receipt of ICI waste at GTA sites. However, as noted in Section 3, likely well over half the ICI waste being sent for legal disposal is still being exported. This proportion may fall if new requirements on businesses for source separation and waste audits, introduced in March 1995, are effective. A case can be made that the export of waste has been beneficial in that it has reduced the urgency to find replacement disposal capacity and thus reduced the likelihood of precipitous action. PAGE 25 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 Export of waste has also reduced costs for businesses requiring waste disposal and has thus made them more competitive. The export of waste has had several negative consequences: • It has reduced funds available to regional municipalities for waste diversion programs and for the replacement of disposal facilities. • The commercial viability of numerous recycling enterprises in and near the GTA has been destroyed. When high tipping fees were being charged, and there appeared to be nowhere else for the waste to go, a company could sort and collect the fine paper from an office building at a cost that may have been lower than the going disposal rate. When agents for low-cost U.S. sites offered to provide disposal for half or less of the cost associated with the municipal sites, building owners no longer wished to pay the now higher cost to the recy- cling enterprises. • Export may have resulted in an overall lowering of stewardship for the environment associated with the management of the GTA's waste. This is because many U.S. sites to which waste has been exported during the last four years may have been below Ontario stan- dards for environmental protection. Moreover, the exported waste is often trucked several hundred kilometres from the GTA, providing further damage to the environment. Steward- ship for the environment may also have been compromised to the extent that export has re- duced the amount of recycling of ICI waste (see the previous item). • There has been a substantial loss to the economies of the GTA and Ontario in the form of payments for trucking and disposing of waste in the U.S.. ' There is a negative consequence of export of waste that is not yet evident. If the GTA's waste is managed in a foreign jurisdiction, an activity important to the GTA's businesses and residents becomes dependent on decisions elsewhere, decisions over which they have little control. One such decision is that of the U.S. Supreme Court, which in a recent 6-3 decision struck down a municipal ordinance directing all waste to a municipal transfer station,2S in effect ruling that inter-municipal and inter-state bans are unconstitutional and that movement of the GTA's waste across New York and Pennsylvania to Ohio and elsewhere cannot be prevented by municipal or state action. A bill granting local government new authority to prohibit importation of solid waste was almost enacted by the U.S. Congress in October 1994 and may become law during 1995 z6 However, because such legislation may apply only to amounts beyond those being imported at the time of the Supreme Court decision, passage may not do much to reduce the amount of waste being exported from the GTA to sites in the United States. u Is waste export hurting the recycling industry?

PAGE 26 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1 ~7 The question arises as to the extent to which the export of waste can be prevented by govern- ments in Canada. A recent paper by Craig MacFarlane, Regional Solicitor, Region of York, concludes that "no level of government in Canada or the U.S. has the power to impose flow control on non-hazardous solid waste export or imports between treaty parties under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).„27 This powerfully argued paper appears to present a strong legal case to support this conclusion. A possibly weak counter-argument may be that trade in waste is unlike other trade. Trade normally involves"payment by the recipient of the goods. Export of solid waste for disposal involves payment by the sender of the goods. There- fore, it might be argued, one does not trade in waste in the sense that one trades in butter, therefoore NAFTA may not apply ~ NAFTA does permit the regulation of hazardous waste. Cross-border traffic in hazardous waste can be regulated under NAFTA; the option may be open to define all waste for disposal as hazardous. Notwithstanding the strong opinion that export of waste cannot be prevented now that NAFTA has been signed, planning for the IWA sites continues on the basis that the proposed sites will receive all or almost all residual waste, both municipal and ICI (see Section 7) . If the sites are built to receive all waste then they will have to receive all waste to justify the large cost of estab- lishing them and to generate continuing revenues sufficient to meet required debt repayments. Receipt of all waste can be assured in two ways. One is to require that all waste be directed to the sites; the other is to ensure that tipping fees at the sites are lower than fees charged for alternative methods of disposal. The former strategy may constitute an unreasonable restriction on business in Ontario. The latter strategy may require an unacceptable subsidy. An alternative approach might be to require that disposal of waste generated in Ontario be carried out in a manner that meets Ontario standards, whether or not it the disposal occurs in Ontario, thereby creating a "level playing field" in terms of opportunities for waste disposal and possibly conforming to the conditions of NAFTA. Such a requirement in itself may not be adequate to prevent export of waste because landfill facilities in the United States increasingly meet or even exceed Ontario standards. However, if it were combined with the kind of "level playing field" for landfill facilities and incinerators suggested in Section 13 there might well be a reduction in the amount of waste exported. I Z' Craig MacFarlane, Government solid waste flow controls: can they regulate exports and imports under the North American Free Trade agreement? Paper given at the mid-year seminar of the National Insti- tute of Municipal Law Officers, Washington, D.C., April 19,1994. ~ An essential feature of trade is an exchange-of goods for money or goods for goods. In the export of waste for disposal, the money and the goods flow in the same direction. Waste export is therefore not trade in goods; movement of goods is not necessarily trade in goods. Disposal of waste is nevertheless a service, and as such may be subject to NAFTA. ~ The "level playing field" proposed in Section 13 would require that air emission standards for incinera- tors be applied to landfill facilities, which would likely stop landfilling of raw waste and make incinera- tion the main method of disposal. Land values are a major factor in landfill costs, and waste is moved long distances for Iandfilling in part to take advantage of low land values. Incineration requires very much less land, and land values are thus a relatively insignificant factor in the costs of incineration. PAGE 27 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 If export of waste to the United States continues there may be no disposal facility in Ontario that remains viable. Accordingly, there could be a strong imperative to find a means to prevent export of waste. A ban on export of waste could also obviate the Herrick Valley proposal of WMI (see Section 11), which has been received favourably by some municipal leaders on the grounds that it may provide a speedy solution that requires little or no investment of capital. Although the direction of ICI waste to the IWA's sites or .othei designated facilities (i.e., flow control) may be considered an unreasonable restriction on business, such direction may be the only way of ensuring sufficient integration of all of the processes necessary to achieve the most environmentally sound management of used materials in the GTA. It may also be the only way of bringing enough stability to the management of used materials so that effective planning for several decades ahead can be pursued. Moreover, if steps are not taken to prevent export of ICI waste, municipal leaders may well ask why residential waste should not be exported if there is a cost advantage over, for example, the IWA facilities 30 13.Incineration vs. landfill; an update This section considers some recent evidence, analysis, and policy statements concerning landfill and incineration. Much attention has been paid to emissions into the atmosphere from waste incinerators; less has been paid to emissions from landfill facilities. In the past, the main concern about landfills has been their impact on ground water, but a recent United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) study in 1994 suggested that landfills pose a bigger threat to air quality than to ground water.31 Recent comparisons of emissions into the air from state-of the-art incinerators and landfill facilities suggest that fewer emissions result from incineration. Several European countries favour incineration as being more environmentally sound than landfill. Accordingly, exports of waste would likely fall if disposal of waste generated in Ontario had to mcet Ontario standards that applied equally to landfill facilities and incinerators. 30 The United States Environmental Protection Agency has just released a major report on flow control as a means of solid waste management, requested by the U.S. Congress in 1992. The present authors were not able to review the EPA report before completing the present version of the Overview ;' Reported in the Wal! Street Journal September 13, 1994. "It blew us away," said U.S. EPA air quality official Susan Thomelce. PAGE 28 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATERTORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 One comparison was conducted for the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution in the U.K.. It concerned emissions of greenhouse gases. The Royal Commission concluded that incinerating one million tonnes of municipal waste "produces net emissions of 0.15 million tonnes of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. Landfilling it with energy recovery produces emissions of greenhouse gases equivalent to 0.5 million tonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide."32 An authoritative commentary on the Royal Commission's estimate noted that the Commission had both overestimated the amount of methane produced. by landfills and underestimated the greenhouse potency of methane, the second most important greenhouse gas 33 It concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from landfills are much higher than those from incinerators unless methane leakage from the landfill site is 15 per cent or less 34 A recently published report by Kay Jones of Zephyr Consulting, Seattle, compared health risks and some of the environmental risks associated with the air emissions from a hypothetical landfill and a waste incinerator of equal capacity 35 The report concluded that "the side-by-side health risk estimate presented here, comparing a new landfill to a new mass burn WTE [waste- to-energy] plant, shows that WTE plants may be a better choice than landfills for minimizing health risks and environmental effects." The report notes, for example, that non-methane hydrocarbon emissions (which can be significant contributors to ground-level ozone production) may be at least 10 times higher per tonne of waste from a landfill than from an incinerator, where both meet current performance standards. Emissions of dioxins from controlled landfills are between 1.2 and 4.1 times higher than from incinerators, depending on the method of landfill gas control. Considerations such as these have led the governments of several European countries to favour incineration over landfill. In the Netherlands, the policy is as follows: "Waste dumping is an irreversible burden on physical structure and environment. This should be limited as much as possible, firstly by means of intensified prevention and recovery and secondly by realizing the implementation of sufficient incinerator capacity." In Germany, only wastes with less than three per cent carbon content may be landfilled (from 2000). In Switzerland, landfilling of putrescible waste is banned, as it will be in Denmark from 1997 and in France from 2002. The European Commission's framework directive on waste states that whatever cannot be reused or recycled sx Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, Seventeenth Report,.

Jones, Comparing air emissions from landfills and WTE plants, Solid Waste Technologies, April 1994. PAGE 29 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 must be treated to reduce "the volume or potential harmfulness," incinerated or, as the last resort, landfilled.36 A reasonable conclusion from the .evidence concerning emissions into the atmosphere from landfill facilities and incinerators is that if the former had to meet the very high air emissions standards required of (and readily attainable by) the latter no landfilling of raw waste would be permitted in Ontario. A "level playing field" of standards fog all waste management facilities could well be an objective of sound environmental policy-making. Ontario's Minister of Environment and Energy suggested in the legislature in June 1994 that the government's main objection to incineration is that it is incompatible with recycling programs because it requires "an ongoing supply of a significant amount of waste." He did not note that expensive landfill sites also require an ongoing supply of waste in order to justify their cost and' retire the debt incurred. More to the point is a recent survey of U.S. communities showing that recycling and incineration are compatible and may support each other.37 The report noted that the average recycling rate for the 53 communities for which sufficient data were available was 21 per cent; the national average is 17 per cent. Internationally, countries that rely the most heavily on incineration for disposal of residual waste also tend to be among those with the highest diversion rates.38 The Minister reaffirmed his government's opposition to incineration in a letter to members of the Recycling Council of Ontario on February 7, 1995. In the letter he suggested that the U.S. EPA has claimed that waste incineration accounts for "95 per cent of all U.S. emissions of dioxin, the most toxic substance known." Reanalysis of data from the ongoing EPA study has shown that more than half of the dioxin deposition in the United States likely comes from natural sources such as forest fires.39 By far the largest human source of ~ dioxin emissions is motor vehicles, which account for more than 20 per cent of the total. Municipal waste incinerators account for 2.6 per cent of the United States total, which will decline to less than 0.2 per cent as older incinerators are phased out or brought into compliance with recently enacted regulations. The Minister also noted that the fly ash from incinerators (material caught in air pollution control equipment) is "often contaminated with heavy metals and must be treated at great expense at a hazardous waste disposal facility." This is true, but the point to be made here is that the heavy ~ William D'Alessandro, Packaging Waste Regulation in Germany.

Kiser, Recycling and WTE: working well together, Solid Waste & Power/Industry Sourceboo~ 1993. ~ In Switzerland, 83 per cent of residual waste is incinerated, in Japan it is 79 per cent, in Denmark 62 per cent and in Sweden 58 per cent. These four countries are among the seven with the highest waste diversion rates in the world. (Warmer Bulletin, February 1995.) ~ H. Gregor Rigo, Sources of dioxin in the environment, Solid Waste Technologies, January-February 1995. (Cited in A. John Chandler, Incineration as an Alternative for Waste Management Presentation to the Great Waste Management Debate organized by the Brampton Board of Trade, March 1,1995.) PAGE $O t OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 metals and other hazardous substances were originally in the waste; they were not created during the incineration process By concentrating them into the fly ash (which comprises less than one three-hundredth part of the original volume of the waste) they can be better managed and even extracted and reused. The alternative is landfill, which involves dumping the polluting substances in the ground. Almost all of the incinerator residue is bottom ash or clinker, which falls through the furnace grate. In many countries-Denmark, for example-bottom ash regarded as being benign enough for use in road-bed and other construe"lion material, effectively increas- ing the amount of diversion from disposal. Bottom ash is also being used as aggregate in the United States, after appropriate treatment:40 The Minister suggested that incineration still leaves a major landfill problem by noting that "of the 132,000 tonnes of was that was burned [at the PRRI incinerator in Peel Region in 1993], 36,400 tonnes remained as ash that had to be landfilled." The reality is that incinerator ash occupies less than one third of the space of the same weight of regular waste, thereby reducing the need for landfill capacity by approximately 90 per cent, even more if some or all of the ash is recycled. Finally, the minister argued that "American support for incineration is on the wane." The reality is that the amount of residual waste incinerated in the United States is set to rise by more than a third by 2005, raising the post-3Rs proportion managed by incineration from the present 16 per cent to 25 per cent at A potentially growing use of incineration is the remediation of closed landfill sites, of which there are at least 70 in Metro alone. Such sites can be mined to recover recyclable materials and incinerate the residue, thereby reducing the risks from uncontrollable emissions of landfill gases and contamination of water courses by leachate that can both continue for more than a century az °0 The Minister referred to a 1994. U.S. Supreme Court decision concerning ash that "went against the incineration industry." He may have been misled by a headline "Supreme Court Rules MWC [Municipal Waste Combustor] Ash is Toxic" in the New York Tunes (May 3, 1994). In reality, the Court ruled only that all ash must be tested before disposal or use to determine whether it falls under hazardous waste regulations. The case involved a challenge against a U.S. EPA policy that supports disposal of ash in municipal landfills as "protective of human health and the environment." 'l See the source in Footnote 26. `~ The proposals for the three 1:WA landfill sites provide for substantial post-closure maintenance: for 150 years in the cases of the Durham and York-Metro sites snd for 220 years in the case of the Peel site. Until recently little provision was made for post-closure maintenance of landfill facilities. PAGE 31 OVERVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA, 1990-1997 14. Conclusion The management of waste in the Greater Toronto Area is in pretty much the same position today as it was just before the 1990 provincial election. There is insufficient assured disposal capacity for the foreseeable future. The provincial government's plans and actions aze highly controver- sial and amenable to being aborted by a new government.:The funding of waste diversion programs remains uncertain as does the future of the management of waste and potential waste. Overshadowing the present situation, unlike that of 1990, are the uncertainties related to the export of waste. There has been some progress. Halton's new landfill site is now in operation, as is the incinerator in Peel Region. More waste is being diverted from disposal than in 1989-90. The environmental assessment documentation for three proposed landfill facilities in Durham, Peel, and York has been published and hearing dates aze being set. A new provincial government elected in 1995 faces formidable but manageable challenges, among them the following: • Sorting out how to (i) undo the present IWA process (i.e., disband the IWA and repeal the Waste Management Act) and (ii) replace it with one that allows consideration of all options and can address the GTA's disposal needs in a timely and environmentally sound manner. • Confronting the vexing issue of export of waste in a way that provides for cost-effective and reliable handling of waste and potential waste generated in the GTA. • Securing the funding of waste diversion programs. A re-elected New Democratic government will face the second and third challenges. If it continues with the IWA process it will have some significant and less manageable challenges of its own: • What to do if one or more of the IWA sites is not approved (a likely possibility, according to many informed observers). • How to continue with the IWA process, with its dependence on landfilling of raw waste, in the face of mounting evidence about the potential adverse impacts of air emissions from landfill sites. • What to do about the ownership and operation of the IWA sites that may be approved. Few activities aze more important to the economy and the environment of the GTA than the handling of waste and potential waste. Firm and well directed action can and must be taken to secure adequate long-term disposal capacity for the GTA, to integrate diversion and disposal activities, to resolve the issues of waste flow, and to establish effective, equitable, accountable, and financially prudent management of used materials. We hope this review will .serve as a contribution towards securing these ends. -~•~~•~~ PAGE 32 I~IPR 28' .15 16~ 57~, FR GTA TASK FORCE 416 327 1516 TO CCAR I I~lGTON Greater Toronto Area Task Force troupe d'etude sur la region du gt~and ?pronto t 393 University Avenue, 20th Floor-2001 393, avenue Universiry, 20' Rage-2001 Toronto ON MSG lEb Toronto ON MSG lE5 Cliair/~rEsldante Membera/membres Dr. Mne Golden A. ), Dialooed Thomas 1MteCnrrlssck aoberi Pric}uxl l~t+h Wong, tit.D April 25, 1995 Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmlanvillc Ontario L1C 3~-6 Dear Sir or Madam Re: Greater Toronto Area Tlaak k'orce Announcement As you know, the C3reater Toronto Area Task Force office is naw open and futlctia»ang.

There are two sharply different approaches to governing in Canada today. One takes its cue from Wall Street and accepts that we must abandon the standard of living and the compassionate society that generations of Canadians have built. But there is an alternative that has a proven record of success. It is the approach that the Bob Rae Government has followed here in Ontario - the balanced plan that the people of Ontario have told us they prefer. Our Document Plan reflects our fair and balanced approach to governing over the past four and a half years. It cuts Ontario's deficit in half by the end of 1995-96 and will balance the operating budget by 1997, a year ahead of schedule. For the second year in a row we are meeting our targets with no new taxes and no tax increases. Even though we are spending less on programs than four years ago, we and our partners in the Broader Public Sector are making each dollar go further. That's how Ontario's public sector is able to take care of more patients, educate more children and young adults, and offer a wide range of services to more Ontarians who need them, including the elderly and people with disabilities. Our support for jobs and the economy helped to boost Ontario's economic growth rate to 5.3 per cent in 1994 and to create 137,000 full-time jobs in the past year. The Plan outlines how our .TUMPstart initiative will help 66,000 more young people find their first job over the next three years. The Ontario economy is expected to create 115,000 jobs in 1995, and 380,000 more in the following three years. And employment is expected to grow by 800,000 by the end of the century. THE PAMPHLETS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE CLERK'S DEPARTMENT. Together we have met some difficult challenges. But we never lost sight of our priorities, which we believe are the priorities of the people of Ontario. We will continue to meet those priorities in future. We will protect universal medicare and education. We will continue to support Ontario's growth. And we will do so within our means. We will not let federal actions knock us off our budget targets, we are starting a consultation process to hear from the people of Ontario before we decide how to deal with $3.6 billion in federal cuts over the next three years. These discussions will be guided by the same principles that support our balanced and compassionate approach to governing in Ontario. This approach will allow Ontario to thrive in the years to come.

The cleaning program will be performed between May 1 and July 1, 1995, or September 15th and November 1995. The contractor will notify consumers (by this notice) before starting operations in each section of watermain. There may have to be brief water shutdowns in some areas, in which case, consumers will be similarly notified. The work will be carried out expeditiously, with the least possible inconvenience to consumers. Consumers in an area being cleaned are cautioned not to draw any water. for anypurpose. until the operation in that section is finished. Failure to observe this precaution could result in material being drawn into the building's plumbing systems and possibly plugging water lines from the street to buildings. It is also recommended that you turn off the electrical supply to your hot water tank. It is the consumer's responsibility to take preventive measures. Once the water has been turned on, we would ask that you turn on a cold water tap only and let it run for approximately 3 (three) to 5 (five) minutes. It will be advisable to keep a supply of water, in containers, on hand for emergencies. For further information on the Municipality of Clarington work, please contact the Orono Depot at 983-5116 or Dale Clemens, Region of Durham Works Department at (905) 668-7721. Collect calls will be accepted. Consumers will be provided with specific notification of the commencement of this operation prior to work being undertaken.

Television (CATV) companies the same legal right of access to:municipal rights-of-way that telephone companies have enjoyed for years.. In addition, the -Act gives the CATV companies the same right of appeal to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications :Commission (CRTC) as telephone .companies. Both may apply to the CRTC ~ to overturn municipal decisions on whether or .not to grant them access to municipal rights-of-way or under what conditions to do so. .../2 i 24, rue Clarence S[reet, Ottawa, Ontario KlN SP3 'telephone/Telephone: (613) 241-5221 • Fax/'felecopieur: (613) 241-7440 International Office/Bureau intentationaL• Telephone/Telephone: (613)241-8484 • Fax/Telecopieur: (613) 241-7117 .,. The ie al rovisions of the Telecommunications Ac 9 P t are important to municipal governments for two reasons. First, at least with existing technology., all telecommunications companies must utilize . municipal rights-of-way. These rights=of-way are sufficient to contain only a finite. number of facilities, including municipal owned infrastructure, various utilities and the infrastructure of competing telephone and cable television -operators: Thus federal legislation affecting access to their rights-of-way is of prime concern to municipal governments. Second; a potential new source. of revenue for municipal governments has been created by the deregulation and convergence of. CATV and telephone technologies. How the CRTC interprets the new Telecommunications Act will determine whethermunicipal governments ' .achieve new sources of revenue based on the use of municipal rights- of-way by profit-seeking enterprises..`.. Under the Act, the right of these companies to vse municipal " rights-of-way is §ubject to municipal consent: ' IVlunicipal government's : ~ ' may set certain terms and conditions; but these are not specified in the Act.. In the absence of a :broad based municipal consensus on what ; conditions should be considered. reasonable, telecommunications companies are applying a "divide and conquer" approach in their dealings with municipal .governments. Many have refused _to _sign agreements which are fair, reasonable and essential in protecting municipal- taxpayers from additional costs anal exposure to liability.. FCM's .position is that any additional costs: and liabilities created by telecommunications companies should- be borne exclusively by the - , companies, not, by municipal taxpayers. Many municipal governments are unaware of the, potential ' liability they face. if they inadvertently damage telecommunications ` infrastructure during the routine .maintenance of municipal infrastructure. Unless suitable contractual arrangements are in .place with telecommunications firms, municipal taxpayers will fear additional costs as a result of the presence of-private infrastructure in municipal , rights-of-way. ,3 ~ ~ , ~ I enclose a draft model agreement between a municipality and a telecommunications company. This model. agreement, prepared by FCM's Technical Committee on Telecommunications, .embodies the following municipal priorities as endorsed by the FCM National Board of Directors on March 4, 1995. ,; :munici' al overnments must be able to control,the number.and a) p g ~~ types of above-ground telecommunications pedestals, kiosks, etc. as well as the location of underground infrastructure;- b) ,the use of municipal rights-of-w8y by telecommunications companies must impose no financial burden on municipal taxpayers; c) municipal governments must not .be responsible for the costs of relocating telecommunications infrastructure if relocation. is required for planning or for other reasons. deemed necessary by - the. municipal government; d) municipal governments must not be liable for any economic loss, .legal costs or physicalrestoration .costs resulting from the .disruption. oftelecommunications services,-arising 'out of the actions of a municipal government unless:grossly negligent; and e) municipal governments- must receive revenues over and above direct expenditures on rights-of-way to ensure full and adequate compensation from companies using municipal property for profit: Your municipality might wish to review its policy respecting rights-of-way to ensure local taxpayers are not exposed to additional costs and liabilities resulting from the operations of telecommunications companies.: Our .hope is that the enclosed model agreement will be of benefit to your municipality in accomplishing this-sand in ensuring satisfactory arrangements with local suppliers of telecommunications. .../4 -4- While every effort has been made to provide a good model' . agreement, FCM cannot accept legal responsibility. for the applicability and impact in your municipality.. The agreement should be carefully .' reviewed and tailored as necessary by your officials to ensure it protects your municipality's interests. FCM will seek the agreement of the national telephone and cable television alliances, the Canadian Cable and Television Association (CCTA) and Stentor Telecom Policy Inc., to the principles embodied its' ' v the model agreement. FCM and the CCTA began discussions in early 1994 on a possible model agreement for the granting of access to ` rights-of-way. The .telephone companies, Xhrough their representative ' body Stentor Telecom Policy Inc., have also expressed a willingness ~to discuss municipal. concerns on rights-of-way. ~ FCM has written to the .Canadian Radio-Television ,and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) 'requesting to be a party of.' record in any case involving a dispute regarding municipal rights-of-way. between a municipality and a telecommunications company. Should a telecommunications company apply to the CRTC for an order requiring a municipal government to provide access to its rights-of-way, FCM will apply for intervenor status and speak. on behalf of member - municipalities.` Thank. you for your attention to .this matfier.

Mayor Diane Harare, Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Ontario. L1C 3A6 Dear Mayor Harare: COUNCIL DIRECTION -, RE: PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS OF ASSESSMENT PERSONNEL D-2 The Institute of Municipal Assessors of Ontario is a body committed to improving the professional competence of property assessors through rigorous education and training programs to ensure public confidence in advice on real estate valuation from persons trained in the valuation of property for taxation purposes. The members of the Institute of Municipal Assessors in Durham Region Office, together with all of the members throughout the Province of Ontario, are concerned that the provincial government is committed to removing credentialism within the civil service to implement their Employment Equity program. More specifically, I refer to the qualifications of those charged with responsibility for valuing real estate for purposes of real property taxation through the assessment function. I believe you are acutely aware of the need to provide an assessment base that is fair and equitable. Historically, assessments have been based on real estate value. To estimate that value, in a market where changing construction technology, and financing have a profound influence, requires a level of expertise that can only be achieved through specialized education and training. It is for this reason that we as municipal assessors ask that the Ontario Government ensure only competent properly trained persons are charged with assessing property for. taxation purposes. Therefore, we request you and your council to sign petition "B" to ensure that you continue to receive the type of service that can only be provided by trained and qualified personnel. If you require further information, please call the Institute Office at (416) 447-7213. Yours truly, ~~ David Blakely, Director District 1 Encl. DB/ds cc: WJ. Leaner, M.I.M.A. Executive Director PROQUAL.LET ~,%~ ~~(Jl .;, "~ :1~G~-:~ii~,7L-~ ~~~~~ _~ PiCTITlON - B Whereas all municipal governments and all school boards are dependent on the Ministry of Finance's Assessment Division to prepare annual assessment rolls wh~h are the basis for about $14 billion in property and brisiness taxes annually and wlticlt are also ate basis for many billions of dollars of provincial grants; And whereas the Assessment Division prepares as matey as four suppl~tnentary assessment rolls for municipalities which raise about $250 million additional taxes annually; And whereas it conducts a municipal enumeration to prepare prel~tninary voters' lists for municipal and school board elections every three years; And whereas it defends about 150,000 assessment appeals every year~involving as much as $6 billion of assessment; And whereas the Ministry of Finance by policy, has substantially reduced legal support in defence of these assessments at the Assessment Review Board level; And whereas the tax base of local governments is now threatened by tese appeals; And whereas assessment appeals are now more complex and require high level of technical appraisal lutowledge; And whereas such knowledge can only be acquired through systematic and formal training in valuation work which must be tested by a formal and recognized accreditation process; And whereas the Provincial Government intends to withdraw cred~rttialism to purportedly implement its employment equity program; r And whereas assessment personnel acquired their accreditation in the expectation of professional recognition; And whereas this change in governmental policy discriminates betwiten assessors attd other professional employees now engaged in the employment of their professional skills on behalf of the government; And whereas this new policy is unfair to the municipalities, to the sc~ool boards, and to the assessors; And whereas the use of untrained, unqualified and unaccredited personnel as well as temporary conU~act st<1ff will threaten the quality of assessments; And whereas the use of uttderqualified personnel to defend assessed values under appeal will increase the assessment at risk and will further erode the tax base of thn municipalities and the school boards. Therefore we petition the Government to direct the Ministry of Finance to ensure that only trained, qualiFied, and accredited personnel prepare and defend property >assessments for taxation purposes.

Town Council Municipality 4Q Temperance Bowmanville, L1C 3A6 of Clarington Street ont. r ~ ~ ~~~ Attn: Town Clerk - copies for mayor and all council members and those liBtad at the end of the letter p1eE:ae Re: ~L95-18 - Tender Agreement- Frovialon of Animal C'~ntrol SVCB. Council stated on several occasions that their goal iii privatizing Animal Control would be to provide to the townspeople and the animals at least the same level of service as we curt°ently enjoy, possibly a better one. Few objective, regular- monitoring mechanisms seem to be in place in this tender agreement to ensure that it would be the case. Quantifiable and enforceat~le standards pertaining to the level of service and the procr::dures to be followed are absent in many sections . The implications of this document pose a serious threat to the well-being my pE•ts and myself in particular, and to pet owners and their pets generally because it lacks the integrity that a document of this nature~~nuet have. if you think I am being melodramatic, consider what has 3:.appened in my case, which staff were involved and the lack of accurate information Council seems to have about the incider.:t . Has this document been scutinized by legal counse~? It concerns me that staff seem to be left to create documents that migh':. require the input of a professional, not just from a financial standpoint but from a policy point of view. You are not determinin;~ the fate of inanimate objects; this document affects people, their pets, other l;.ving creatures as well as the balance sheet. We do love our animals and Council has an obligation to provide the highest passible level of service and protection. Listed below are some of the inadequacies that concern me in this agreement and the attached by-laws. I, possibly mo:r•e than most, believe that consistent, complete and clear standards are urgently needed to prevent any future misinterpretations, deviations or o~:issions in procedures to bE: followed by Animal Co:~:trol and- its management. ~.; By-Law 87-7.56 - refers to the rog Licensing and L ~vestock and Poultry Protection Act R.S.O. 1980 Chapter :L23.

What about the computer chips many dogs and cats are now implanted with? Unless •~hie is specified, who can ensure this will get done? While it is mandatory that dogs be licensed, what would prevent a by-law from insisting that they be vaccinated foie rabies and distemper, and be spayed or neutered where not intended for breeding purposes? Aitto for cats. This '_s one problem that might be addressed in this discussion and might of itself provide some relief, but I do realize enforcement might be difficult. As it is, dog licensing enforcement l.s difficult but the message is there. Why pursue privatization with such apparent haste:. when to my knowledge no citizen has complained about the money s~>ent on Animal. Control, since you claim cost considerations are why this process has been initiated? I~would venture to say that most: of the mail you have received on this subject is against privatization far many valid reasons. My case has convinced many that ~;ublic Animal Control in Clarington is the: best way to monitor he level of service being provided. You say you will compile the correspondence and phone calls received by the town on the .subject. How will any ::ouncillor be able to access all that information since some counci:Liors may not pass on mail to the rest of Counc~.l that is addressed to them specifically nor can they be expected to record all phone calls. Zt's unfortunate that Council. does not seem to ha~~re been more willing to utilize the talents and energy of the community by constituting that task force to help them improve the current service, and/or provide input into the tender, for the: sake of both the animals and the community at large, Council could surely benefit from the good will this would foster between the municipality and its citizens. While the public inpu~~ process may take longer, the payoff can be substantial. Peo~~le would be willing to contribute their talent, time and energy :.n support of ~-arious issues if they thought: their concerns would bra listened to a:=d their input welcomed. We certainly don't expect c~sr government to know everything and the public would not expect to make any aeciaions; that's why we have elected council membert3. +ould privatization proceed, I and many others would insist that a by-law be passed immediately prohibiting the sale of animals for research. ...5 n I would appreciate being notified about Council's de::ision an the mak.ter of privatization of the Animal Control servir_~;s.

Much to my disappointment and dismay, I was informed on the morning of Friday April 28th that. trees were being cut down behind my residence which backs onto the proposed school lot in the Kaitlin Group:~s Aspen springs Development. Of ~he trees being cut were several mature beech trees (upwards to 100 years old) that were slated for preservation in the tree preservation plan prepared for the proposed development. I immediately contacted the Municipality to inform them of the happenings and to inquire as to whether they had approved the works or not. I was informed that the location of the proposed walking path through the ravine required some of the trees to be removed since the School Board would not allow the path to cross school grounds due to liability concerns. Several of the Beech trees were also "in the way" for the School Board to regrade their lot as desired. In this day and age, where our politicians, peer groups and schools promote the preservation of our environment, does it not seem somewhat hypocritical that they would be giving approval for such activities to occur? What is the use of having green belts when there are no trees left in them? It is my opinion as a landscape architect, that the walking path can be constructed in such a manner and location that the trees can be preserved. I feel that the trees are a more important issue then the gradient of the path. (continue page 'L) t r Page 2 It is my understanding that there is a fine to the developer when trees, slated for preservation, get cut down. In this instance, since the developer was given approval, does this mean that he is no longer responsible? I Eeel that a crime has been committed, and that the party/parties responsible for the destruction of these stately trees should replace them tenfold with large caliper hard- wood trees.

Mayor Hamre says the Town is currently involved in "intense negotiations" to buy properties in an effort restore the beach area to its glory days of ahalf-century ago. The properties were owned by the federal govern- ment's Harbor Commission until the 1980s, when they were sold to a group of local businessmen. "['d like to see it cleaned up, revitalized and turner back to public use," says Mayor Hamre. "It's a jewel ii this municipality's crown." Bowmanville's beaches used to be a popular resor area for visitors from Toronto. "It was a very nice place to come to," says Gordot White, whose family has been a fixture at West Beach fo b0 years. `Three trains a day would come from Toronto A lot of people came for the summer." Bowmanville's beaches began to decline in popularit! in the 1940s and `SOs. One published report documenting the history of the waterfront suggests the beaches grew into disfavor wire sungazers because "increasing pollution of the lake water. lessened the area's appeal as a swimming and fishing spo and many of the east and west beaches were turned into homes." Despite the best efforts of some homeowners to main fain their properties, some areas on the waterfront ha~~ deteriorated into a general state of di.vcpair. "There are spots that are raunchy end spots that (x:oplc take a lot of'pride in their properties," says Mr. White "To let the lakefront go to the dogs...we should get it bacF to a people place so people can come down to the bead and relax." Mayor Hamre recognizes the need to address the declining condition of the waterfront. "On a daily basis it's becoming more and more of ar eyesoore," sheps~ays.,,"We ge/t~s_everal complaints about it." EFLECTION: This tranquil view of Bowmanville beach captures the potential beauty of this once- ila .sort spot. Mayor Diane Hamre would like to see the waterfront restored to its glory days. :.Photos y ~.'~ roen 09/2"/74 06:28 $629 -,.

Tender C]:..95-18, a document with sa many vague inferences and so few concrete spe:rifications. I have the following questions regarding this tender: ~ - 1. Why does the tender specify the duraxion of the contract wdl. be from 7cine i, 1995 to May 31, 199$ when Council has not yet approved the privatiratian o:F this program? It vviIl be almost impossible to assess what the actual cost woaild be from the bids submuitted in response to this 'tender because the specifications .are so vague. 2. Why does page 1 of this tender state para.. 5 line 8 ".... ar if at any time the work or any part thereof is not, in the sole judgement of the Director of Comm~:avty Services or his designate, beang performed to ffip/our sat3sfaetfon, then in each sand every such case, after twenty-four hovers ......" Is the Contrat:tor, hhri/herseliF tb deczde if the service is being performed adequately? 3. Why is the qualification for fully trained personnel a mere three (3) years experience working knowledge with animals. Page 10 -15. Any fourteen year old who has a kept a gerbil at home would qualify. Ts this the value that Council pla,~:s on the caretakers of the: community's wild anal domestic animals? 4. page 13 - 13. What does "adequately staffed" mean.? Page 13 - 13 pare 2. Since this tender makes no stipulations for qualifir.2tions or training, except for bonding, what is the meaning of this paragraph? 5. Page 16 - 21. Why are reports to be made quarterly and not wexldy or monthly as is the current practice? Why aIe the details of the activities to be reported. on not specified -does Council care? f~j 00 2 L 09/2"/74 06:29 ~y' .` ' ' 1 t '$`629 -~---- CLARIPIGTON l~j003 2 6. Page 16 - Z3 para 1. By just looking ~~t the stars. for February and I,Vlatrh, 1995 the number of cat cages requited in this tender is inadequate. 7. page 16 - Z3 para 1. What will the mNa~,*!rg tool be fox "appropriate ,treating and ventz7ation equipment"? Council should be reminded that the clients axe non-vcabal. 8. Page 16 - 23 para. 2. What will Couac3l put in place to ensure thaty "1'lie Contractor shall provide and pay for all necessary drugs, medications and veterina~;y services required.. "? Who will be the judge of what drugs, mediations and veteaiinary services aro requured? IS 1t W1SC to ssu*nA the Contractor wall always act III the best ultere3ts of the animal wizen the money is comix-g out of his/her own pocket? 9. Page 16 - 23 pars 3. What will Council put in place to ensure that the i,:oatractor does feed adequately, and provide fresh watery daily to the animals in cake? What me$suring tool will be used? 10, Why are so many items in this tender left W the sole judgemcslt of the I:tirector of Commuaity Sezv£ces. Can Councs~. really justify such discretions and ju.~9gements being made by one person? tJfEenng a tender such as this with so malty Loop holes would make it xmpossibl.e to monitor tha quality of service being provided. I n;~itesate the message contained in my letter to Council of April Z: Animals ~rre very vulnerable to ill treatment because they are cm.ablc to verbally report. we, ther~::fore, have a responsibility to ensure ti~at those prorriding service to this vuIrterable getup arE: in a position of tag totally accountable for their actions. ~'he animal, control service must never be allowed to be a "money making proposition" because this would offtar an oppox7~nity for the uns,cntpulous to take advantage. Your answer to the questions askrd in this letter and a response to my correspo~idence adc'sessed to Council dated Mardi Z0, 1995 and ~ipn12, 1995 is respectfully rc:qucsted.
