YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS.
1. MOst construction work has been substantially completed
~.r the Winter. Road 8 in Dutton has been opened although

THE WARDEN AND ENGINEER REVIEWED matters of Solid Waste

CORRESPONDENCE WAS READ FROM
(1) Ministry of Transportation and Communications lllpproving subsidy
allOcation 0 f $6,000 for assessments for drainage.
(2) Ontario MUnicipal Board regarding an appeal by the Village of
Port Stanley against a decision of the Elgin CG1unty Land Division
Committee on Hetty Street.
THE ENGINEER UPDATED Winter Maintenance procedures. It
appeared the only problem area would be the sanding of hills on Roads
38, 43, 44, and 45 in Bayham Township at the same time. The Engineer
was instructed to proceed as best he could in the ma,tter.
THE MEETING ADJOURNED FOR DINNER.
AFTER DINNER . . . .
Messers. Jim Janse, John Bray and McTavish of the Ministry
of the Environment and Robert Kuzyk and Dave Whitney of the firm of
James MacLaren in attendance. Mr. Kuzyk reported on his preliminary
findings to date for solid waste disposal sites in Elgin and stating
he was eva1uating the sites on an economic transporting distance using
i i
a figure of $3.00 per ton or less as a disposal charge.
It appeared that the best site in Elgin would be a site as
close to the St. Thomas City Hall as possible. A site south of Road
45 and west of ~oad 22 was tentatively suggested but some members of
the Committee felt it would be poor from an environmental and political
viewpOint.
Ministry of the Environment Officials felt that they could
not go further with the Ministry regarding the Fingal Site unless
the MeeL.ren Report showed it to be e suitable site.

CORRESPONDENCE WAS READ from the Ministry of Transportation
and CODm1n1cations Regional Traffic Engineer stating that although the
County's long range signing programme was quite coma~ndable on Roads
\
45_ and .52, the Ministry 0 f Transportation and Ciool,~.u.nications was
reluctant to sign through traffic off the Kings' Hig~way because of
poor Ministry of Transportation and COnllu\Jnications' maps, lack of
services, and no signing in the Norwich~Haldimand Region.

ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO,

PIAGE 6.
THE ENGINEER ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT both the County Road Number
and the Name be used in signing 0 f the County Roads from Highway 40l.
Committe4l were agreeable to tIlis suggestion.
THE ENGINEER STATED that he felt an overhetad flashing
beacon was not the answer for the Road l6 and Road 20 Intersection
in Fingal. The Committee agreed and requested the Engineer investigate
the use of a red fleshing light on top of the existi.ng stop sign.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that Mr. Norm Warnex' of the firm .of
R. C. Dunn and ASSociates was examining the state of repair of Walkers,
Middlemiss and Wardsville Bridges and would make a detailed report
shortly. It appeared on preliminary investigation that the movement
of abutm,nts 0 f the Walker was such that a major exptenditure on. the
structur~a was not justified and that probably replacement 0 f the bridge
would be necessary within the next few years.

they were in favour 0 f a County site or not. The Road Committee
pointed out the reasons (economic) for the County being interested
in the: waste disposal business. Several members pointed out that

not for one particular municipality.

GENERATION OF SOLID WASTE
A Report received suggests the following W.ste Gener.tion.
Residential onl,\! .. 1.8 lbs. per capita per d.y= 657 lbs./year = .33 ton per
year (1/3 ton).
Residential and Commercial - 2.44 Ibs. per c.pit. per day = 12~40 lb.. per year
= .62 ton per year.
All Waste including Trade W.ste etc., etc., 6.0 lb. per capita per d.y = 2,l90
lbs. = l.l'ton per year.
Township of ,Bavbam. Villaae of Vienna .nd Villase of Port Bur,rell.
Averages 4 full - 20 cubic yard loads per week,
= 80 cub'le yards or at an averase weight 0 f 6 ton peir load
= 24 ton per week or 2080 ton per year, on a per capita
basis .4 ton per person.
In addition from December 1973 to November l2, 1974.
Tbere were 87 loads - 40 cubic yard container wbich IUY or may 'Rot
have been fUll and 54 loads closed container.
LAND FI LL SITES MIlER THAN l<<:CA IG
<a> Village of Rodnev-Needs a new Progr.... of Management. Bec..use of distance
from rest 0 f C,ounty the haulage cost beeo..s too expensive except .s ,m
emergency site for West Elgin.
(b) Dunwicb Townsh:L~ - Probably the best site on an emergency basis .s alre.dy
ticeneed by the Ministry of the Environment and operating satisfactorily.
Sand being preuently used as backfill but there is likely cl.y in the
bottom and SI.IO'excav.tion would provide suit.ble cl.y for b.ckfill and
cover. Area large enough .to be worked, remote enoush to cause mini1llUl11
interference, only 1 1/4 miles from. paved road. Little :road improV4...nta
other th.n Dust Control required. Only drawback weuld be hiaul.s. cost 8.
site is quite J7emote froll centre of County.

(c) Finsal Airoort- Probably the best Long Term Site already in public ownership.
Centre remote from Housing, served by County Road. has an :internal ROlld system
with old roads and runways. Any Drainage could easily be rerouted. The land
inside the runway area would serve the County for years without going out to
the edge of the property. Probably the cheapest haulage CClstS. Only drawbacks
would be negoti.ttions with the Provincial Government for a lease on the
property and the Rezoning and Environmental Hearing required.
(d) White Station Prooertv - Not a very good prospect because of ground water
problems and built up area to the north.
(e) Pleasant VallevP1t - A section could ,be used on an emergency basis. One
section above ground water level. Area is remote and screened by tree!>>
and surrounding land owned by the County. 3/4 Mile of gravE~l road. stte
reasonably close to centre of the County, not a long term prospect at the
present time but could be a short term one.
(f) Guvlboro Sand Pit: - Township of Norfolk. County owns the area on the east
side of Bayham-N()rfolk Townline. Problem is distance from centre of County,
ground water and lack of clay cover material.

COONTY OF ELGIN
SOLID WAST! (CONTINUED )..
HAY 27, 1975.
To Tbe Chairman and Members of The County of Elgin Road Committee:
Attached to tbisReport is a su..ary of costs, advantages, disadvantages
l
'and other points to be concerned with regard to, Solid Waste Management.
If the County becomes Restructured the County may bec:ome responnible
for the Disposal of Solid Waste but we understand may make a cbarge for the
use of this service.
One of the largest proble.. encountered to date bas been trying to
equate the cost per capita charge presently used in the County with most c>>f
the infor....tion avai lable from other sources whose information is princip~llly
in tonnage. The City of London sUAests that 1,240 lbs. per year is a
reasonable figure for residential and light commercial solid Wllste.
~;I ))/N-
R. G. MO(l{E,
COUNTY ENGINEER.
COUNTY OF ELGIN - SOLID WASTE (CONTINUED).
1. CITY OF LONDON SITE W-12A
Advantages - Long term Contract would solve disposal probleDls for a considerable
period of time, no responsibility for site, hallll roads etc.
Municipalities could be billed and County would have no itllvolvement.
Haulage costs would be no greater and perhaps less than fOlr McCaig
Site.
Cost
- Probably initially in the $3.00 per ton range: for dispos,al.
Disadvantaaes -Site will not be ready until Fall of 1976 at earliest, if ,land
pUlr:chase problems are encountered it may be the Spring of 1977.
Negotiations required with the City of London and the Township
of Westminster. An Environmental Hearing would be required (likely. '
no problem).
As a number'of Contracts expire prior to the Fall of 1976 sOlDe intertm
method 0 f DispoS~ll (or) Contract would be required (either by the present
Contractor or ell!;ewhere).
Contract would be required for baula~e from individual Municipalities
to the London Site.
2. COUNTY SITE (other than McCaial
Advantaaes
- County owned and controlled and operated as a utility. Site
lshould take care of all solid waste for the next 15 to 20
~,ears. Local Municipalities charged at cost. Haulage costs
,~uld also likely be a minimum.
Cost
- ]Probably the cheapest in the long run although site costs
'iIOuld have to be charged out over 15 years at the most to
41nsure that there were no remaining costs if the Provincial
liaste Recovery Progr8DlDes became practical. Contract would
be let or County would do actual site work.
Disadvantages - County oWQS no long term sites although two sites are MUnicipally
4)woed that could be used a. a short term or _.rgency site.-.
]~operty acquisition i. costly and ti.. consuming and with
J~nvironJDental Hearing Boarels and Rezoning applications to
1the Ontario Municipal Board, it could take two years or 10,
\
COUNTY OF ELGIN - SOLID WASTE (CONTINUED)
2. COtrnTY SITE (other than McCa1St}
(continued)
D isadvantaStes - so the interim problem becomes as bad or wc>>rse than the wait ing
for the City of London site to open..
Contracts would still b. required for picktlp from indi.vidual
.,
Municipalities.
3. MCCAIG SITE
PURCHASE OF SITE BY COUNTIY
The KcCaig Site has been appraised at $450,000'. Using a ,fii~ure 0 f
$500,000 (add slcales, completion of improvements,etc.) OV4!lr a 15 yeaI' period
the annual cost becomes $62,000 plus an operating cost.
I f the total Ownership and Operating Costs are $e~O, 000 per year, the
cost per capita would be approximately $1.37 for the popullltion of the County
now served or $1.21 per capita for the entire population nc.t taking into account
any cost of ownership etc., chargecl back for Industrial. If 1/3 of tbe cost
was a chargebaclk, the cost would be reduced ,to approximately 90 or 80 cents
depending on th1e population serve,d.
In addit ion, to these costs, would be the costs incurred by t,he Road
Department for Road Improvement either on the Middlesex To..mline or 0111 the
Concession Road to Road 19 to the West. (Undoubtedly Middlesex Count)r will
be hesitant on the assumption of a section of road that set~ves the Elgin
Re~idents and eleonomy only.)
Advantages of ~rchase of McC.i~ Site
Count~)' would have long term control overmetbous of Disposal, .nd
through it ultillllately the pickup. Tenders could be called for pickup alone
thus encouraging some competition.
Undoubtedly cheaper in the long run than p~iv.te ownership, as risk
cost of ownership is removed from the Contr.ctor. A portic:m of approvals h..
already been obtained and much of the information for Rezoning application is
available.
Disadvant'a~es
Large capital investment IllUst b.p.lei off througb user f.es. Many
.
bui ldings on site that are n~t really n.c....ry for County,r. operation, the
cost 0 f which Wlould have ~o be charg.d out or .charged .s.inst the op.l~atlon.

COUNTY OF ELGIN
coultr,rENGINEERIS REPORT ON SOLID WASTE DISP~AL
April 1975.
To The Cbair.lR and Members 0 f
The County of Elgin Road Coaaittee.
In January 1975 I reported to you on the Proposed Study of
Solid Waste Djlsposal for Middlesex, Elgin, London and St. Thomas.
Attached is a copy of the Report given at that time plus Terms of
Reference of f~he Study. Sineethat time the Terms of Reference to
the Consult~nts have been refined and presentations requested from
the Consultanfta.
E 14!ven presentations were received and the Tec,hnica1
COlDlllit tee (wh:lch I act 'on as an observer) narrowed the cboice to
fourwhieh arl! to be interviewed, on April 11th and a recCllmmendation
_de to a Steler,ing Committee. (The Consultants chosen fClr intervielili's
are James MacLaren, Dil10ns, Gore and Storrie, and Proctc.r Redfer.n.)i
These Consultants have been ,requested to provide a firm price that the
cost of the. Study will not exceed. In order to provide this price t)le
Consultants vill have to know whether or not the County ()f Elgin and
City of St. Thomas propose to participate in the Study.
It appears that the selected Consultant will ~llso be ablE!
to acquire considerable information from another Study nc)w underway in
London for the erection of a ,processing" front end", reco',ery plant.
This will 101ller the cost of the Study and the Technical C011UDittee hc)'pes
to do the Stuldy for under,the ten cents per capita esti1lllate previouls 1 y
suggested.
Tbe ,S tudy wi 11 now concentrate on prob 1ems 0 f an intermediate
and long range nature (3 to 15 years) as the City of London has sol'"ed
its most prtu_sing problems and the Study will not be completed in tilDe
to solve the short range E1gin~St. Thomas problem although certain
in format ion gathered in the next coup Ie 0 f months might he 1p us somewhat.

COUNTY ENGINEER'S IlEP<JlT ON SOLID WASTE DISPOOAl..
To The Cnairanan ano Members of
April 1975,
The County of ,Elgin Road Co_ittee - continued.
Page 2.
, ~. to----
, The ,CoDllittee 'sbould make a decision on the p~lrticipation'
in ,the, Study and make arecolII'Rendation to County Council as soon as
possible.
I would reconnend that the County 0 f Elgin palot ic ipate i 11
the Study as I feel that the information from such a study would far
outweigh the cost of the Study to the County. Partic ip,t ion in the
Study will also k.e~p County Officials in close touch with Ministry ()f'
the Environment Officials whos~ assistance we ,may requir4! in the neJ(t
few months to help us solve our short range problems.
I f participation in the Study is approved by the Committ4!8,
two persons should be appointed by County Council to a Steering
Committee (whose purpose ,it is to review matters approved by the
Technical Committee and to recolllllend action to theirreSlpective Councils).
TbeCounty of Elgin Representatives on the Tec:hQ1ca1Comi:nitte~
are the Warden and ,Engineer ~o could also serve on the Steering
'Committee if Council so wished.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

: ~ave be.n requested to. join.
Study will be directed by 8 Steering Committee being two members,
'from each Municipality (and e,Tec'hnical Committee, pgfdn t'#o

TYPE OF .STUDY
Study t~ be done, by Consu~tants.
. The t;e,rms of re ferenc.e (which are attached) are heing forwat'~ed
to various qualified consultants who are being requested to
submit' infot'rnationre,garding their firms' ,interes,t tn the study.
The Technical' Committee will choose, a Consultant 1.\n<j recommend"
their"appointment tot he Steering. Committee for approva 1. It
ts hoped to pick a ,Co,Dsultant in late February aryd hElve the Study' " '

COSt.
COst of Study is estimated' at $70,000 and will be subject to e
50% Mini.stry of.the Environment Subsidy. Remaining cost 'w~lJ
be divided between participating Municipalities on a per capita
basis. (Approxlmatel'y 10 cents per capita.) The ,City of London
would admInister the payment of accounts, make application for
subsidy.a.nd bill the other Municipalities the net amount.
Purpose of Study is to determine the most economic and efficien~
system of handling, transporti.ng,tl"eating (including recovery of soli.d w~\ste)
within ~heCounty of t-1icidlesex and the County of Elgin (i.f Elg1ln parti'c.ipF,tes),.
'Other matters than solid waste could be examined if preliminary examination
shows there could be a problem with these materials.
; The Study is to determine what parts,' if any, of the two CountiE~s
could be more efficiently served by other schemes and if ar~8S out~ide th~
two Counties should be served by schemes within the two CountiE~s.
Special attention. is t'o be paid to the Province' spr()posed W~stE~
Recovery System tq,""ascertain ho~ i~ ~uld fit into the pr'esent wa:ste disposal

If sufficient records nnd data a~e already nvrtl1able
regarding per cllpita refuse production, the consultant
will not be rcqu:i.red to monitor this phase of th€~ study.
however, commercial wastes must be adequately investi-
gated by on-site evaluations~
2) Prepare an Invent()ry of and tabulate the presently employed'
methods of handling, transporting, treating, recovering and
disposing of the wastes included in Item I, including
industrial liquid wastes, agricultural ~astes, d1.gested

1975 ROAD BUDGET
February 1975.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND HEMBERSOF THE ,COUNTY Or' ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
This Budget Report is present,d in conjunction witb a Report on
the _th~ds used by tbe Ministtyof Transportation a~d COJllllUnications to
al10~ate subsidy fpnds and establish spending allocations.
The 19'75 Budget as attached follows the custom of spending only
to the limit o'f the Ministry of Transportation and CommunicBltions spending
allo,tationso th.!lt maximum subsidy is obtained. Unlike somel other counties
in Ontario, Elgin has not done' an appreciable amount of roaq work with",ut
Ministry of Transportation and Communications$ubsidy.
In presenting a budget in these inflationary time!l, one cancm1y.
surmise the cost of materials by mid-sulII'ner or fall. .An in(~rease in o1l1
prices would have a very substantial effect upon our budget a,nd could
result in theelimlnationor reduction.of some projects.
CONSTRUCTION
1975 Construction is divided into two parts being (a) clean up
I '
of old work and (b) new work.
of which
Clean up of old work, r;nost>1.was substantially completed la$t :year,

FI~BRUARY 197~)
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY Oi" ELGIN ROAD COMl~ITTEE
In Dutton a~ter, completion of the Sanitary Sewers the County
'of Elgin should complete the reconstruction at the easterly limit of
Shackleton Sttee,t, (east 0 f McArthllr Street) started in 1972,. This
project is a rel,pc>nsibility to be borne entirely by the Couulty Qf Elgin.
The re:construction of Road 15 between tbe Penn Celrltral track:s
and the south 1i,mit of Dutton is proposed being a shared pr4)ject with
the Ministry of the Environment paying the cost of restorat:lon of the
,gral\ular base and pavement and the County of Elgin the cost of storm
drains and curb and gutter on the portion where sanitatysewers are
instaLl'ed by thei Ministry. The County of Elgin will pay thje cost of
asphalt resurfac:i~g on portions where sewers are not placed by the'
Ministry.
The di.version of Road 8 to Road 15 in Dutton is also pro,posed
in 1975. The County of Elgin will pay the full cost of the project. fr4)m
Mary Street (whi.ch is the main intersection of Dutton) to the south lilnit
of the Elgin Co-Op property. The Ministry of the Environment will pay
t.Qe entire cost of road restoration north of the south limit of the Elgin
Co-Op pro'petty. A portion of storm sewer (which is now an IQ1d tile dr/Bin)
may have to be replaced by the County of Elgin from the north limit: of the
pre$e~t curb and gutter section to the Bennett Drain at Road 2. This
replacement is necessary for added capacity for the flow from catch ba:sins
to be const);'ucte!d on the new road diversion.
InPo1:'t Stanley, also after completion of sanitary sewers by the
Ministry of the, Environment, an urban section is proposed on Road 20 B.t the
intersection of Warren Street (County ROBd 21). This will eliminate
complaints of drainage and lack of traffic control in the a,r,ea. It will
also permit the placement of sidewalks by the Village of Port Stanley ;along
portions of Warren Street and Carlow Road to the Port Stanley Public School.
Curb, gutter and drainage work is proposed on Road 20, Carlow Road, no'rth of
Highway 4, to c()rrect drainage problems and complaints attheProvinci.BI .
Liquor S:tore and neighbouring properties.' On both projects the costs will
be the complete responsibility 9f the CQunty of Elgin.
The rE!construction of County Road 51 from Highway 4 to the County
Garage is imper~ltive a$ the present surface is not expected to last out the
Spring. A1thoul~h planned for 1974 the rec.onstruction of the. Copeland
.Municipal Drain (which crossed the road near the County Garage) forced
postponement of the project. As the portion of the drain affecting the
County has been completed, the project shouldproeeed this Spring. As the
ROBd will be uS4!d mainly by trucks and ()t~er vehicles to and from the County
Garage, it is r4!co,mmended that the surface be hot mix asphalt (3 inches).
It is recOlllllend4!d that the driveway to the Garage andia portion ()f ,the lot
in front of the Garage be surfaced at the same time as the surface treat~nt
which waS eppli4!d last ye.e.~, 8S a temporary measure has failed in 8 number of
places. It is not proposed to widen the road allowance as the lD8in functf'on
of the road will be as a service road to the County Garage.
RAD 10 ROAD (ROAD 30)
Radio Road or .Road 30 is the princip1econstructi.on project in
1975.. The road is presently under control of the St. Tholllas Suburban Roads
Conrnissi'on.
The project can be divided into three stages.
First Priority - Through Concession XII as the granular ba!~e will COmEt from
the north, this section will require 'rebuillding to talke
the heavy trucking for ,the rebuilding of the rest of the
road and Road 52~ Also of first priority is. t.he section
of the road from the Salt Creek Cemetery to the St. Thomas
city limits.

-RADIO ROAD (ROAIlI 30) (continued).
Second Priority -i"rom the Salt Creek Cemetery to Patt'erson Culvert
. including replacement of the Salt Creek Culvert.
The rerouting of the present route to a straight line
route in Concession XI north of Patterson Culvert.
Eartb from the hill north of Pattersons will be used
for fill on adjacent projects (Road 30, 31, 52, etc.,).
The filrat and second priority projects should proceed as soon
as funds are 'av~~ilable. The third priority will have to wait until as
much fill as pO!lsfbleis used which Deans that Road 31 and Road 52 to
Talbotvi1lewill likely be completed before this stage is started.
Third Priority
The St. Thomas Suburban Roads Commission cannot complete all
the first prior1lty work without incurring a considerable deficit with
regard to the ll2 mill contribution of the City of St. Thomas. Be,cause
of the financial needs on other Commission Roads, this deficit would be
8, continuing and increasing deficit for quite a number of years. As
Provincial Legilllation states that costs on the Suburban Roads System
are to be divid.~d equalty between the City and the County after subtract-
ing Ministry of Transportation and Communications subsidy, it would appear
that the best practical method to solve the problem, is the assumption by
the County of 8 portion of Road 30 for construction in 1975. (Regions
and Restructured Counties do not have Suburban Roads Commissions.)
It aPI)earS that the Commission would have sufficient funds to
rebuild Radio Rc)ad from the St. Thomas city limit to approximately 1,000
feet north of C()unty Road 52. 'The County should aSsume the costs north
of this point (that is the area near the Salt Creek Cemetery and in
.c-()nc~ssion XII.)
CREDITS
Credilts which will reduce the cost of work in 1975 inclt,tde
reduction in th4t amount of materials in stock for construction proj_cts
by $60,000; a p4!nding Sales Tax Refund(s) tentatively estiml8ted at $6,000
and credits of ~>24,000 on workperforme.d for others (after the deduction
of labour overh4aad costs etc., which are shown in the Overhead Budget).
ASPHALT RESURFACING
Although the Ministry of Transportation ,and Communicat~ons has
allocated $237,000 for asphalt resurfacing, the sum of $300,000 is budgeted
for this work p]rogramrne. The resurfacing work also includes the work required
to bring the road to standard (such as shouldering, ditching, etc.). A
tentative progr..nme (subject to spring break-up is as follows).

Although the Ministry of Transportat~on .andCommunicAti<).ns

.in following the'prElsent County Road Committee policies an expenditure
in ex;ce$~oft~t amount will occur even though the winter hAS been
relafive.ly mil~ to date.
A long term agreement should be entered into with the Towns,hip
of Dunwieh. for the construction ofeproper .are~ to pile sand on pt their

to TheChat,rll.an and Hembers of The St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission:
Since the, presen~ation.lI~d acceptance' of tl;1,.,tent.tive 1975
Budget in' J.rlu~ry, 'inquiri~s ha,ve been made t,o, t:he Ministry, 0 f
Transport'ltic.n 'and Communicat.ions with regard to the financing 0 f any
long ranged4!t ficit the Comml'ssion would encounter in the rebuilding
of RadloRoad.i '
Tht! County 0 f E 18in RoadCommttteehas, agreed that the
eommi,stor'l should not' contact a long range de licit at this time
as most of tbe Commission's. Roads require construction ~ork in the
, next rew ye~li~!h,Thus there will not be any appropriate year that
the deficit c:ou1dbeeliminated, in the forseeable future. If proposed
restructuring '~f the County oJ Elgin occurs irt the next few yea..-s, any
deficit 'rom the Commission would 'be the responsib,ility of the County
and the .ConnjLttee wishes to carry on with t'heir "Pay as you go Policy"
if ,8~a11po,a"ib1e. The financial position of the City, of St. Thomas
seems to,prec:lude any additional contribution to 't~e Suburban'RQad
System,.t:thfs't ime.
, ,Our enquiries to ,the HinistrY9fTr:ansportation and ,
Communications indicate' that expenditures on a Suburban R()ad System
~ust" "e sbar4~d' ~qua 1.1 y between a County and a Ci tya fte ~ deduction
of the ~inist:ty of Transportation and Communications' Sub.tel,. It
appears the c)n1 y way to cut the de fici t is to cutt.he Budget. Our
estimat~s indicate that the- north limit of work on Road 30 by t,he
Suburban COmt1nission should be in the area of the Salt Creek Cemetery
north of Road 52.
Th~tCounty of Elgin Road Committee feels that.s much work
8S possible !Ihould be completed on Road 30 t~is yeAr. In order that
work north,ofthe ..Cemeteryc$n proceed this'year, it will' be nec~ssary
for theSubtn~ban RoadCommlss'ion to revert the rest of the Radio Road
north of the Cemetery to the ,County. This can be done by, Resolution
a.pproved by the'Minister of Transportation and Gommun'ications.
Th.tBudget has been amended to take these chan,ges into
account and is atisched.
'All of which is re~pectfully s.ubmitted.

THE ENGINEER PRESENTED the attached Report on Road
Expenditures for 1975 and the attached Budget which were pa.rtially
discussed by Committee.
IT WAS DECIDED that the Desirable Spending A1locBltion
of 2,169,000. by the Ministry Of Transportation and Communi,cations
should be expended so that the maximum subsidy could be obtained
from the Province.
IT WAS ALSO DECIDED that it was undesilrable that the
St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission should have a large deficit
from 1975 into 1976 as the Commission had ample mileage of deficient
roads on which to expend the Budgets. The Engineer explained that the
Commission would be able to complete the portion 0 f the RO~ld between
the City and Road 52 and that the remainder of the Road would ha.ve to
be reverted to the County so that the County could assume the remainder
of the costs.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that the County Levy would be $581',000
for the maximum subsidy allocation by the Province. This compared to
the County Levy of $560,000 plus an expenditure of $20,000 for~'
contingencies in 1974.

REPORT ON ROAD EXPENDITURES FOR 1975
In view of the' number cif cha.nges ill Road Committee from 1974. s
Committee thls report.. is a review of the methods that the Ministry of
Transportatic)t~ and COlbmunicstions u!Jesto calculate Expenditure Allocation
and Sub:sidie!1 . for Counties and Regions.
In 1973 the Ministry of Transportation and Commu;nications adopt;ed
. apolic,y of ~lsinglesubsidy rate (o,ther than Drainage Assessments on Urban
Rebates) for: Counties and Regions. This single system replaced' the old
system whIch is stt 11 used for Townships and Villages of 50"4 Subsidy on
Roads, 80% Subsidy on Bridges and 100% Subsidy on Development Roads (Direct
Aid) .
OnE~. of the biggest asset$ o'f the newsyst"m was that the bookkeeping
on County work waS to be simplified (actually ,this had occurred).
ThfJ~ Mini'stry of Transp~rtation and Communications has adopted a
policy of allocating subsidy funds based on proven needs and of setting a
, desirablesp4!!~riding a'11oc;:ttion. An expenditure over the desirable expenditure
~llocation w:t~ll not be subsidized and any spending under the allocation will
result in 10!ils of subsidy at the'inaximumsubsid'y rate (approximately 91%).
Subsidy is a matching 50~of that money that the County would
raise at 1.2~. mill~,Oi1 its Provincial Equ.alized Assessmentpltissubsidy
at 91% 'for any of the desirf'ble expenditure allocation in excess of the
amount subsidii'edat 50%.
In 1975 the eff~ctive subsidy rate is approximately 72.98'70 wh~reas
in 197467.7%. .
DESIRABLE SPENDING ALLOCATION
Thei de.sir~ble spending allocation is the total of'Needs shown
in thepreceeiding years Needs Study Update as approved by the Ministry
of TrSl'lsporta,tion and Communications. This total 8110cation is divided
into three parts. ',(a) Construction (b) Asphalt Resurfacing' (c) Fixed
Costs. '
. (8) Construction.
Approved Construc,tion Costs are the costs of thos,eRoads lilnd
Bridges'which are .pri!sently deficient or will become deficient in the
coming five year period. The deficiencies are catalogued and listed
acc()rding to,M:tnist;ry of Transportation and Communications criteria.
Also included in C'onstruction Costs aresPQt improvements such as D:r:ainage
Costs necessa ry to bri ng ,a sect ion ,of road up to to 1erah 1e standardl!.
r::
The Cost,s are based on Ministry of Transportation and COIbIDunicatiops
approved costs which represent the costs of construction as they welre in 1973.
(This cost index is reviewed about every five years.) InaslIlUch as the
Ministry of Transportation Bnd Communications or the Municipalities do
not have enough, money to complete all the constructiQn in a five yell,r
period or 9% per year on a reducingb'alance.

The Ministry of Transportation and Communicattons has set the
Provincial Equalized Assessment of the County at 362 million dollars .for
grant purposes. This figur~ has been derived by applying a growth ,factor
the Proyincial-Equal Assessment of 1969. This method will probably be
used until reasseSsment is completed by the Provincial Government. The
calculation of the Provincial Subsidy is shown on t,he atta.chedsheE~t and
is set at $1,601,000 (including 50% on Urban Rebates.) Additional Subsidy
at 50% is av,ailable on those Drainage Assessments made tinder an Engineer's
Report.
County Levy is estimated at $581,000 which includes all l-1lunicipal
Costs on Road 30 over the 1/2 mill levy in 1975 from the: City of St. Thomas
and the Surplus from 1974.

1975 ROAD BUDGET
February 1975.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY Of' ELGIN ROAD COMM.I..I.1EE
This Budget Report is presented in conjuneti.on with a Report on
~he methQd'$ used by the Ministry Of Transportation and COlllllUnications to
, allocate subsidy funds and establish spending allocations.
The 19'75 Budget as atta'ched fol101fs the custom of spending' only
to tbe limit 0 f the Ministry of Transportation and Communications spend.ing
allocation so thlllt maximum subsidy is obtained. Unlike some! other counties
in Ontario, Elgi'n has not done an apprecfable amount of road work witho,ut
,Min~s~ry o,f Tra,nsportation and Communications SUbsidy'"
,In presenting a budget in these inflationary. tim~s,one can <Jln1y
surmise the cost of materials by mid-summer or fall. An increase in 01.1
prices would have a very substant.ial effect upon our budget and. could
result in thee1i~ination or reduction of some projects. .
CONSTRUCTION
1975 Construction is divided into two parts being <.) clean up
of old work and (b) new work.
of which
Clean up of old work, mostJ1was substantially completed last ~rear,
includes:
'Road 2
Bet~~en West Lorne and Rodney. A.small amount lof fencirtg land
trinning ~rk near Wm. Cornwall's.
FromNe~ Glasgow southerly. Double surface tre,atment, fiO/II
trimm'ing, some draina~e, seeding a.nd moving some hydro pol,es.
ROlld 3
Roads 3 &. 4 In Rodney. A considerable 'amount of sidewalk, paving a
number of, driveways, general trimming and seeding work.
Road 3
Froin Fleming Creek southerly. Grading near t'leming Creek
including widening of some shoulders, top soil and seeding,
and three inches 0 f hot mix aspha It paving.
, Froln Hfghway 3 to Sparta. ,Widening of several ff11s south of
the St. Thomas Airport, some top soil and seeding work.
'Road 36

and guide rail work.
New work includes:
Engin,eering work and surveys on work for further years t1l&t 1s
not under acti\l'e construction. ,Land Purchase with the largest cost b<<~ing
the"acquisitiol"li of land for construction in 1976 on Roads 52 and 31 and '
completion of land purchase on Road 30 north of Road 52. A majority
expenditure will be for land to divert Road 52 across 'Kettle Creek nOlt"th

TO THE CHA~RMAN ANDHEMBERS OF THE COUNty Of' ELGIN ROAD COHt1ITTEE,
InDutt~n after completion of. the Sanitary Sewers the County
'of Elgin should complete the reconstruction at the easterly limit of
Shackleton Street (east of McArthur Street) started in 1972.. This
project is a, responsibility to be borne entirely by the COUlr-aty of Elgin.
">
The reconst,ruction of Road l5.between the Penn Central track:;
and 'the south, limit of Dutton is proposed being a shared ptc)ject with
the Ministry of the Environment paying the cost of restorat:Lon of the
granular base at1ld pavement and the County of Elgin the cost of storm
drains and curb and gutter on the portion where sanitary sewers are
installed by the Ministry. The County of Elgin will pay th4! cost of
asphalt resurfacing on portions where sewers are not p1ace~ byt,he
Ministry..
The diversion of Road 8 to Road 15 in Dutton is alsoprop'osec1
in 1975. T'he County of Elgin will pay the full cost of the project, frc)m
Mary Street (which is the main intersection. of Dutton) to the south, limit
of the Elgin Co-Op property. The Ministry Qf the Environmeltlt will pay
the entire cost of road restoratiqn north of the south limit of ,the. Elgin.
Co-Op property. A por'tion of storm sewer (which is nOw an 401d tile drt~in)
may have to be t;:epleced by the County 0 f E 19tn from the' north 1 imit of the
present curb and gutter section to the Bennett Drain,at Road 2. This
replacement is necessary for added capacity for the flow fr40m catch ba!iins
to be constructed on the new road diversion.
In POl't Stanley, also after completion of sanitary sewers by the
Min1.stry of the Environment, an urban section is proposed on Road 20 at the
intersection of Warren Street.(County Road 21). This will eliminate
complaints of dr'ainage and lack of traffic control in the area. It will
also permit the..p1acement of sidewalks by the Village of Po:rt Stanley lllong
portions of Wart'en Street and Carlow Road, to the Port Stanlley Publi~ School.
'Curb,gutter and drainage work is proposed on Road 20, Carllow Road, nOlt'th of
Highway 4, to co.rrect dr'ainage problems and, complaints at the Provincilill
Liquor Store and neighbouring properties. On both projects the costs will
be the complete responsibi1ity of the County of-Elgin.
The re!construction of County Road 51 from Highway 4 to the Clounty
Garage is imperaltive as the present sur face is not expected to last out the
Spring. A1thou~~h planned for 1974 the reconstruction of the CopelaJld
Municipal Drain (which crossed the road near the County Gar,age) forced
postponement of the project. As the portion of the drain affecting thle
County has been completed, the project should proceed this Spring. As the
Roed will be USE!d mainly by trucks and oth~r vehicles to and from the County
Garage, it is rE!commended that the surface be hot mix aspha'lt(3 inches).
It is reco11lftendEld that the driveway to the Garage.and a portion of the lot
in front of the Garage be surfaced at the same' time as thesurfacetreliltment
whic,h ~8.s app1iEld' last ye~r as a temporary measure has .fai1ed in a number of
plac'es. It is not proposed to widen the road allowance as the main function
of the road will be as a service road to the County Garage.
RADIO ROAD (ROAD 30)
Radio Road or Road 30 is the principle construction project in
1975. The road 1s presently under control of the St. Thomas Suburban Roads
Commission.
The project can be divided into three stages.
First Priority'. Through Concession XII as the granular base will come from
the north, this section will require rebuilding to take
the heavy trucking for the rebuilding of the rest of the
road ano Road 52. Also o-f first pr,iority is the section
of the road fro", the Salt Creek Cemetery to the St. Thomas
city limi'ts. '

. RAD 10 ROAD (ROAD 30) (cont i nued ). .
./
Second Priority.. r'rom the Salt Creek Cemetery to Pa~terson Culvert
including replacement of the Salt Creek Culvert.
Thir,d 'Priority - The rerouting of the present route to a straight linE!
route in Concession XI north of Patterson Culvert.
Earth from the pi 11 north 0 f Pattersons willI be used
for fill on adjacent proj~cts (Road 30;, 31, 521' etc.,,).
Thef~rst and second priority projects should proceed as soon
as funds are 'available. The third priority will have to wailt until as
much fill as possible is used which means that Road 31 and Road 52 to
Talbotville will likely be completed before this stage is started.
The St. Thomas, Suburban Roads Commiss,ion cannot cc)mpleteall
the first priority work without incurring a considerable oeficit with
regard "to the 112 mill contribution of the City of St. TholNiLs. BeCaUSE!
of the financial needs on other Commission Roads, this defic:itwouid b~!
a continuing and increasing deficit for quite a number of YE!ars. As
Provincial Legislation states that costs on the Suburban Rands System
are to' be divided equally between the City and the County after subtract-.
ingMinistry of Transportation and Communications subsid,y, 1lt would appear
that the best practical method to solve the problem, is the assumption by
the County of a portion of Road ~O for construction in 19750 (Regions
and Restructured Counties do not have Suburban Roads COmmi$ISions.)
It appears that the Commission would have suffici~ult funds tn
rebuild Radio Road from the St. Thomas city limit to approximately l,OOO .
feet north of County Road 52. The County should assume the costs north
of this pofnt (that is the area near the Salt Creek Cemetery and in
Concession XII.)
CREDITS
Credits which will reduce the cost of work in 197.5 include
reduction in the amount of materials in stock for construct:Lonproj.ctli
by $60,000;' a peinding Sales Tax Refund(s) tentatively' esti~lted at $6,000
and credits of $,24,000 on work performed for others (after tbe deducti~)n
of labour overbead costs etc., which are shown in the Overhead Budget )it
ASPHALT RESURFAC:I~G
Althoulgh the Ministry of Transportation and Co~nications hllls
allocated $237,OOQ for asphalt resurfacing, the sum of $300,000 is budl~eted
for ~his work"programme. The resurfacing work' also includes the work ll."eq\\ired ,
to bring the roa,d,to standard (such as shouldering, ditching, etc.). A
tentative programme (subject to spring break-up is as follows).
(I) - Road 6 - From Road 3 to Black's Lane, A1dborough T01llf1lship.
Double surface treatment in 1965. ' Three inches of
pavement to be placed. Work to be tendered in conjunc:tion
with pavement on Road 3 south of Fleming Creek.
(II) - Road 2 - From Road 15 to Road 8, Dunwich Township.
A single lift (two inches) should be p1ac.d over a
previous single lift of pavement placed in 1967. The
portion from Road 15 to the Ecker Drain has been
covered previously 1>eeause of poor perfor.ance. The.
work should be tendered in conjunction with the' pavinll
in Dutton.

, 197 S ROAD BUDGET
-5 ~
FEBRUARY 1975
TO THE' CH:AIRHAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
!IXED tOSTS (co1tltinued)
The 1975 maintenflnce allocation by the Ministry olf Transportation
and Communicati'.)os was based on the gravelling of Roads 5 and 9 in Aldborough
Township and Dultlwich Township. The roads were last gravelled in 1970 and
ordinarily apprc)ximately 1,000 -ton of gravel per mile is placed. It is
recommended that this work proceed as we try to gravel roads at least eve):"y
four years and this work is now overdue.,
Other maintenance items are e.stimated on approximately the same'
standerd 0 f service as in former years with an a 11o~.nce for the increases
in cost. Sweep:lng costs will rise because our 'sweeper was not delivered
until l-ate inthtf 1974 season. When we rec'eived the .sweeper the County
'assumed the cost of sweeping curb and gutter on County Roads in the Town
of Aylmer and, the various Villages (previously this had been an urban
re sponsibi 1 i ty) 4.
Inflation has carried over into our Overhead Costs as well.
Most service and costs are estimated on those costs of previous years
with an fncreas~~ for additional llfages etc. Unempl'oyment Insurance premiums
have been raised by the Federal Government.
Insur~lnce costs will be lower as the 1975 Workmen's Compensation
Premium (due December 1974) was paid in 1974. By increasing the rates of
our equipment charged to operations we hope- to reduce our Machinery Overhead
Costs. The Overhead Budget is about 9% over our costs in 1974 (vs a w,age
i ncrea se 0 f approxima te ly 14% for 1975).
MaintEmance and Overhead Costs on the St. Thomas Suburban Ro,eds
System are estimated at $61,000. The Ministry of TransportAtion and
CommuniCFltions Allocation for New Machinery and Houf)ing (again based on
infQrmation from the Needs Study Update) was $110,000.
The cost of hot mix asphalt paving at the Garage will be charged
to thi s cBtegor~r. A Schedule of Proposed Machinery. Replacement wi 11 he '
presented at a later meeting. As with asphalt resurfacing the Ministr'y
of Transportation and Communications is strongly suggesting that the funds
allocated' for this category be used for Machi nery Replacement and Housing.
SUMMAR Y
Ourtc.tal Desirable Spending Allocation has been set at $2,169,000
by the Mi.nistry of Transportation and Communications (being the sum of
constructi.on and fixed cost items). To this expenditure 'must be added
the: cost of urbllln "rebates (being 25'0 of the urban municipalities Road Levy)
of $36,000 and of Drainage Assessments$12,000 which are eligible for a 50%
Subsidy if a Supplementary By Law is passed by County Council.
The cost of items that are unsubsldized by the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications will be offset by the rental from
the sweeper which Was not subsidized' (the rental rate to ou'r operations
is $10.00 per hour presently).
All of which is respectfully submitted.

COUNTY OF ELGIN
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
February 1975.
TO THE CIl.AIRMMI AND MEMBERS OF COMMlTTEE.
On JllftUary 29, 1975 Commi.ttee received and discussed my Replort of
January 1975wbic:h reviewed in some detail the present situation ~ithregard
, to Solid Waste Disposal in the Counties of Elgin and Middlesex.. Since that
time discussions have been held with the Ministry of the Environment ,and
others and this~ Report is an attempt to bring the Commltte,e up to datI! and
to outline the alternatives still availahle to the Committee.
1. CITY OF ,LONDON APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF SITE FOR SOLID. WASTE lDISPOSAL.
SinCE! my last Report, the Ontario Municipal Board. has approved the
use by the Cit)rof London of an area in Westminster ToWnship (known as Disposal'
Site W';12A) in Concession ,V just east of Highway 401, as a_solid wastie disposal
site subject tCl~ a number of terms and conditions.
The !!~itehas a capacity of approximately 6.4mi11.ion ton. of refuse
and USing the usual generation r8te of 1 tO,n per person for urban centers and
1/2 ton .per pel'son for rural areas, will last the City of London for ;approximately
18 years. If t:he site is use~ by the '9ity of London and all other muni.cipa1ities
within a 15 mile radius the site would last for 14 to', 14 1/2 years. . It' is not
expected that tbe site could be in operation before the Spring of 1977 because
of the propert)r acquisition and development work necessary.
Other terms and conditions for the use of the site include:
1. Joint Use Agreement of Site; Township of Westminster hars' free dispos$l
rights for all waste generated within the Township. During the fir~~
year, waste is limited to nO more than 4,000 Tons and no more than 300
Tons incrElase in any subsequent yea:r.
2. City, of L(:mdon will pay to the Township,; of Westminster, ten cents (10~)
per Ton of refuse received at the Site. Anticipated revenue, to the
Township ",ill be $24,000.00 in the first year, increasing to $43,000.00
in the 18th year.
3. The use of the Site by the City is limited "to not: ~re than 20 years.
If 8n ext..nsion is- required, the usual approval procedures IIl\Jst again
be und~rtl!lken.
4.
The City ~lgreed that it would not init,iate any request to any ot:her,
MunicipaUlty to. dispose of wa$te at the Landfill Si.te. In addition,
no area. Wllste can be disposed of at the Landfi'll Site without the
express aJ)prova1 of tbeTownship. of Westmin$ter. This, apparently,
does notJ)revent any Area Municipality from reques,ting use of, the Site
from the City 'of Lon~on; however, it would s~i11, require the approval
of the To,ntship of Westminster and in all likelihood requireaq
Environmental Hearing Board Review.
5.
The proposed Resource Reeovery Centres - Studies for which w1ll be
underway !ihort1y - are not to be located at the La,ndfi11 Site without
the express approval of~he Township of Westminst~r. The City has so
agreed.
~.;.
6. The Resoult."ce Recovery Centre Waste can be disposed of' at Site W l2A.
7. Tbe Site ~Ls u1ti_tely to be restor.d to asrfcu1tu1:al or recreational. use.

OBSERVATIONS (Clontinued)
5.' It would likely take two years or moreto.bave a Landfill Site in
operation (if property had to be acquired) once a suit.ab1e site bad
been located.
6. Discussion should take place with the .City of St. Thon\8s and a
pr~gr.mme lof joint action between the County and the City is desi.'rable.
7. The action taken should solve the problem of solid Wllste disposal for
a period of fiv.years with options to solve the problem for ten years.
At that time it'shou1d be known whether the present proposals of the
Ministry of the Environment will h:ave solved. the garbage problemsl.

COUNTY ENGINEER'S REPORT ON SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
JANUARY 1975.
To The Chairman and Members of Committee.
~';;';
During the past three years the Elgin County COUI'lC i l, the CE~ntra 1
Elgin Planning Board and the County of Elgin Road C~mm.itte.~ (sometimes known
as the County of E 191n Garbage Committee) have discussed, enquired, rE~ported
and have requested reports on Solid Waste Disposal as it concerned th.! various
Mun1c~pa11ties in the County of Elgin and the City of St. Thomas.
Inasmuch as this is the beginning of a new Council year and the
Personnel of County Council has undergone considerable change, 'I feel that
a review of the facts and options etc., available to County Council mtght
serve a worthwhile purpose.
Review Of Sol idWaste Disposa 1,
1. St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Service (Advance Containers of Can,ada
Limited) he,s pick up and/or disposal contracts with 'a number of
Municipalities in Elgin County including the City of St. Thomas,
Townships' of Yarmouth, Malahide, Bayham, South Dorcqester and Southwold,
Town of Aylmer, Villages of Dutton, Port Stanley, Belmont, Springfield,
Vienna and Port Burwell. Some of these contracts expire in 1975 and
some in 1976. Negotiations on the renewal of these 'contracts with
some of thE~ municip~lities will start shortly. (F()r more complete
details~ see the Report of the County Engineer of November 1974.)
2. The present disposal site (near Kains Bridge at St. Thomas) used by
the St. Th~)mas Sanitary Co llection Service does not meet the criteria
of the Min:lstry of the Environment as a desirable disposal site, and
the site w~~s supposed to have been vacated by the St. Thomas Sanitary
Collection Service by April 1, 1973 except for its use 8S a transfer
or shredding site. (Theremova1 of the disposal site was one of the
contract clauses in the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Service. The
site is still being used as the St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Service
has been unable to obtain another site.

3. St. Thomals Sanitary Collection Service own a parcel olf land in L.ot 22
and adJac4!nt lands in Concession III, Southwold. The!y applied for
and received after a hearing by the Environmental Healring Board in
October 1973, a provisional certificate of approval to establish
and operate a waste, disposal site on this land. In due course they
applied to the Township of Southwold to have the lands rezoned for a
waste disposal site. The Township of Southwold, aft4!r consulting
with and having the approval of the Central Elgin Planning Board,
passed a By Law on July 3. 1974 rezoning the land. Objections to
the By Law led to a Municipal Board Hearing which on December 5, 1974
'/'\'\. 0 ./tf,~.-:) "),,,,,t'l..e'\(L
denied the appli.ca.tion. The~~~~ app'eal to the Ontario Cabinet
~ .~i.J..{JfI'~olvl"z~\.,' .
<~~9J'I'1"4--t.t an appeal ~ launched, a new By Law and new hearing
by the Ontario Municipal Board would be necessary to obtain the proper
zoning for a waste disposal site.
4. The Village of Rodney owns the former County of Elgin Carnie gravel pit
and openites it as a small waste disposal site (approved by the Ministry'
of the Environme.nt') on Lot 1B, Concession VI1, Aldborough.
+ V;JJ {0'(P vl ~V - J:;vJ.-- '
of Aldbo:rough also uS'e~ this site.
The Township
5,. The Township of Dunwich operates its own waste disposal site (ilpproved
by the Ministry of the Environment).
6., In 1973 the County of Elgin Road Committee, the Central Elgin lPlanning
Board, authorized a Committee including the City and County Engtneers
to report on ,sites for a municipal waste disposal site. (See Report
of June 1973 to Central Elgin Planning Board). Road Committee
subsequently tried to purchase lands adjacent to other public lands
in the Catfish Creek area, east of County Road 36, only to have the
property sold to others by the Public Trustee. No fUrther attempts
to obta:in a municipal waste disposal site, as the St. Thomas Sanitary
Collect~Lon Service had by this time made a request to the Central Elgin,
Planning Board and the Township of Southwold for rezoning of its lands
in Concession 111, Southwold, as a waste disposal ~;ite.

",
VI, We'strninster as a waste disposal site. The Hearing by the Municipal
Board on this rezoning began on Janyary 13, 1975. It is understood
that the]re is the present waste disposal sites of City of London will
be full so~etimein 1976~
8. The City otLondon offered in November 1973 the use of its prop1osed'
Westminster stte to the City of St. Thomas as a waste disposal area.
The offe'r still stands a~though the present Environmental Hear:f~ng
Board" would have to meet to hear any application to take waste!~ from
other municipalities beside London and Westminster Township.
9:. The programmes of St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Service and' the C~ty
of London to collect and sell waste paper, cardboard etc., for recycling
has Qeen abandoned as the present market price for the salvaged material
made the project impractical.
10. The' Ministry of the Environment announced in Novembler 1974 that it was
promoting,~ comprehensive waste recovery prograrmne that according to
the Provinqe is designed to provide in three five-year stages ,all the
facilit:f.es necessary for complete resource recovery to serve at least
90% of t:hepopu1ation of the Province and,all but eliminate the need
for landfill of waste. A series of pilot projects would see a "plant"
built in tbe London area for this purpose. As a subsequent predesign
engineering study is not yet underway, it would appear that it would
be at Ieas.t 'three years and mor~ikely five years before such a plant
would be operational and then likely only the first phase which might
be'recovery of newsprint, corrugated boxes, and the shredding, magnetic
separation of remainder of the material (Which would give somE! recov-
ery and lessen the 1a,nd fill sp4ceneeded for the l~emainder.)

COUNTY E.NGINEER'S REPORT ON SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
JANUAR Y 1975
PAGE 6
3. Ministry of the Environment is trying to develop a Comprehensive
Waste Recovery Programme to cover 90% of the Province with "Plants"
First Objective is "Paper" and the Government is trying to develop
a steady long range market so that paper Can be recycled ecc)nomica l1y
(or at lea~t wtthout adding unduly to the disposal cost of the rest
of solid waste).
4. A waste recovery programme and plant even in the initial stlrlges
would be fairly comprehensive and would have to be <Or should be
1 Would think) operated in co~junction with a disposal site. As
it would be fairly expensive to build (and operate?) one fe,els
that the solid wa.~te generated by both the County of Elgin ,and
City of St. Thomas would be necessary to economically support such
a plclnt. In the long r.ange it would appear that some comprehensive
recovery programme will be necessary to reduce. the cost of solid
'-Taste disposal (aside from the environmental aspects, the use of
land for landfill sites etc.). Thus we may be becoming part of a
largl~r area in waste disposal whether we likeorrealize it.
5. That if the conclusions of (4) .above are reasonable or corr~c~ to
have any say in our own destiny in the matter, we may be forced to.
join the City of London, County of Middlesex Waste Disposal Study.
6. That even ignoring items 4 and 5, the Study would provide the
County with much more information for its cost to the Count.y than
could otherwise be obtained. This intormationt.,ill be extremely
useful ,if the County is restructured and the County becomes
responsible for waste disposal sites.
7. As the Province proposes to build subsidized recovery plants the
gui.dance of the Mini stry 0 fthe Environment could be $ought a-s to
the best interim disposal methods until such plants are bu~llt s'o
that the County does not embark on an expensiv.e system that: will
have limited v_lue in the future.
All of which is .respectfully submitted,'

Purpose of Study is to de~ermin~ the most economic and efficient
system of hAndling, transporting, treating (including recovery of solid wpste)
within the County of Middlesex and the County bf Elgin (if Elginparticipptes).
Other matters than' solid waste could be examined i'f preliminary eX8min~~tion
shows there could be a problem with these materials.
The Study is to determine w\1at parts, if any, of the two Counties
could be more efficiently served by other schemes and if ateBs outside the
t~ Co'unties sho,uld be serv~d by schemes within the two Counties.
Special attention is to be paid to the Province's proposed Waste
Recovery System to ascertain how it would fit into the presll!nt waste d:lsposal
schemes.

TERM~ OF REFERENCE.
OBJEC'I~IVEOF STUDY:
The principal objective of the Study lato determine the most.
effic1.ent and moat eoonomic systems of handline, tran$porta.tion, treatment
(including recovery,) and dispos,al of solid waste gene.rated 1wi.thin the area.
Howeve:r,otherclassifications of waste generated shall be investigat'ed to
an adequate e~tent to determine whether problems may result, now and in.the
future!, to the constituent municipalities du~ to the handli'ng or disposal
of other waste materials, or whether it would be advantageo1us to consider
their inclusion in any recommended system.
Consideration, to an adequate extent, s11al1 also ble given to'
whether the area under study is the most suitable area for this purpose;' .
\
whethe:r some portions of the area might be more efficiently serviced by
, .
other systems; whether locations outside the St1Jdy Area mi;ght be mos t
