Don't forget, however, these trucks will be jockeying for position with the 7,000 trucks PER day with Highlands hole in the ground and yet even more trucks will be trucking contaminated soil to another 20 acres adjacent to the fertilizer facility in Southgate, aka Dundalk.
But they will ALL be competing with road space with the trucks who will be hauling to the DEEP plant, which of course the Mayor of Shelburne has and is championing.
So here he is on another horns of a shituation.
He can't really object to Southgate hauling crap (bad pun, I know) through his Town and past his house, because that is what will happen to others if the DEEP plant goes through. Garbage and stink past their place. Which of course the Mayor has been championing-did I mention that?
Hmmmmmm.....
This will require some DEEP thought.

ReplyDeleteDo White and Hill think the deep thing is a good idea?
ReplyDeletecurious...do people understand that burying our garbage is not a good thing?
ReplyDeleteBurying it isn't good, burning it isn't good, nothing is GOOD, it is just since we HAVE to do something with garbage, lets all deal with our OWN, without hauling crap from other communities. IF the GTA is the biggest producer of waste, why would the rural areas be the biggest solution to waste?
ReplyDeleteAgreed 7:49. If we keep giving them places to put it they will keep making it. "If you build it they will come." The whole consumer system has to be shaken up to create any real change. (And this is scarey, because it could cost jobs...more likely it would create jobs.) We need to produce less garbage in the first place and that needs to start with industries and corporations excessively packaging products and producing toxic goods ...which is just about everyone in big business. We have to demand better of our government leaders. They must look at more sustainable, front end solutions. DEEP is an end of the line, glutonous, consume 'till we puke solution; a bomb...a great big, expensive, doomed to fail bomb.Kinda like the Baupost mine and water robbing plan.
