2,310 m' waste processing and transfer facility.
Simon Evans, 215 Cove Road, Bowmanville, L1C 3K3, expressed
opposition to the installation of a recycling and transfer station because
the nearby residents take pride in their neat and tidy community, there
will be major traffic problems associated with trucks travelling to and
from this transfer station and a waste disposal facility will be a major
blem ish to the waterfront.
Mavis Carlton, Group 2, Box 14, Bowmanville, L 1C 3K3, noted the
following concerns:
. large trucks travelling on lake Road and onto Liberty Street;
. hours of operation; and

She noted that the time is appropriate to undertake a realignment of the
road.
Anna Millburn, 123 Cedar Crest Beach Road, Bowmanville, L lC 3K3,

stating that as soon as people hear the word "garbage", they get very
concerned.
B. lomas, 103 West Beach Road, Bowmanville, l1C 3K3, stated strong
opposition to the proposal because of its location and additional traffic
that this enterprise will generate.

submitted a petition containing approximately 140 signatures of persons
opposed to the rezoning for the purposes of a waste transfer station.

Port Darlington Marina for some twenty-five years and noted that his
organization has had to live with the sewage plant, the railway track and
St. Marys Cement. He does not want a waste transfer faci I ity at this
location.
Les Pyper, 10 Port Darlington Road, Bowmanville, II C 3K3, advised that
