(City Council on June 7, 8 and 9, 2000, had before it, during consideration of the foregoing Clause, the following communication (June 1, 2000) from Councillor :

Here are some comments and observations concerning our tour of the 5 landfill sites which remain on our short list.

First, our staff did a superb job in organizing the logistics. A great deal of information was packed into a tight time frame. There was virtually no "schmoozing". The experience of the sheer physicality of the sites left a profound impression and will, undoubtedly assist in reaching the best conclusions.

My own conclusions included:

1. Standing atop the highest of the garbage piles, one is struck by the an absurdity of any economy and society which is capable of producing so much waste and then piling it into bottomless holes or onto massive mountains.

2. The elegance and fundamental correctness of the wet/dry or the "Halifax solutions" were once again underlined for me. 3. The public-owned site (Windsor Essex) was, by a considerable margin, the best maintained, most innovative from an environmental point of view and, apparently, the most well-accepted by neighbours. Sadly, it could not accept more than 125,000 tonnes of our material per year.

4. The Green Lane Site near London had significant advantages because the transportation distance was significantly less than all other sites.

5. Both Michigan Sites were huge, well-established and used advanced techniques.

6. Onyx was very well maintained, highly professional and efficient. It is unfortunate that the rail line which passes through the property is not proposed as the method of transportation for the waste. This should be investigated further. A great deal of capacity is available in this landfill.

7. The Republic site was not as well kept and had a less desirable appearance. The rail haul approach is very attractive. There is no doubt about its huge capacity.

8. The Adams Mine continues to face significant community opposition. Our visit was met by hundreds of cars lined up at the mine entrance road. We were delivered by helicopter and so did not see the full crowd. A video is to be made available.

9. Our Chair, Bill Saundercook, admirably shepherded us into a discussion with the 60 - 80 community opponents of Adams Mine who intercepted us at the Airport as we prepared to fly back to Toronto. The opponents raised serious concerns about:

- the difficulty in presenting their concerns to us - the likelihood that the fractured rock in the mine would allow water to enter the water table as has happened in Walkerton - the desire not to receive Toronto's garbage - the contention that most people in the area do not support the plan.

10. I feel strongly that Toronto should diversify its disposal across several smaller contracts rather than one large contract, thereby hedging against risk. This strategy worked with our biosolids program and 'saved our bacon when HRT went bad.

Miscellaneous Observations:

Green Lane: - agreements to guarantee value of neighbouring properties either by buying or making up difference, average farms 100 acres @ $2,000/acre. - neighbour inherited property and does not support land fill - owner, a former teacher - this firm does St. Thomas full system - green, recycling. Believes Toronto could adopt a similar fully integrated system Windsor Essex: - stunning greenhouse 'living machine' leacheate treatment polishing facility and lecheate recirculation strategy. - Impeccably well maintained site - Highly enthusiastic and well informed technical team managing the site

Onyx: - Massive beyond belief - Very well kept - Large co-generation plant - lecheate pre-treated then piped to municipal sewers - It's a long way to truck

Republic: - Unkempt site, lots of litter/bags blowing around on the site - huge capacity already prepared and ready - what about liability respected the incinerator ash cells which would be nearby to Toronto's waste? - Rail haulage approach has many advantages

Kirkland Lake, Adams Mine: - Little preparation has been done on site. Some old equipment and buildings have been removed. Lecheate to be treated (unspecified) then released for polishing in mine areas and small man-made lake before release to neighbouring creek. - Some surprising aspects to the tour: - Notre Development Principal, Gordon McGuinty, commenting to the Councillors as we toured the site in his Suburban: - "I couldn't raise another nickel for this project. I'm tired!" - McGuinty: "I did not organize the welcoming crowd (referring to the 50 people supporting the project who met us at the airport.) or the banners in town". We later discovered that several hundred protestors had not been permitted into the airport on our arrival. We were flown by helicopter to the site and not permitted to see the large convoy of protesting cars lined up at the entrance to the mine. A videotape is, apparently, to be made available. - Opposition was larger than I recall it having been in 1996 but some objective measure of this would be helpful. - Local Councillors and Mayors (except for the Mayor of Kirkland Lake who is personally opposed to the project) greeted us and indicated that support was high for the project. McGuinty indicated that the only opponents left were those philosophically opposed to Toronto shipping its waste out of its own borders. - Opponents with whom we met at the end of the tour included farmers, miners, teachers, medical people, students, etc.)
