Sludge Watch ==> Public Forum on Paper Sludge Problem - Jun 21 - Fenwick Ontario

[maureen.reilly at sympatico.ca]

Below is information from Pelham resident Randy Desnoyers (905-892-4677) 
about the latest Sound-Sorb (paper sludge) controversy. It is in the Niagara 
community of Pelham, south-west of St. Catharines. Empire Agri-Service 
(David & Lyle Brenzil of Canfield in Haldimand County) are in the process of 
creating a massive Sound-Sorb berm at 325 Church Street in the hamlet of 
Fenwick.This berm is being constructed of paper fibre biosolids (recycled 
paper waste sludge from Abitibi-Consolidated in Thorold) and is located 
between an old greenhouse operation and a rail line, across the road from a 
residential area, and adjacent to a wetland reclamation project. The local 
residents have been told that the berm is being installed to protect the 
cucumbers in the greenhouse from train noise!!!

There was a picket line set up by the neighbours on Monday to slow the 
sludge trucks, but it has since been removed under threat of legal action. 
Pelham residents are planning a public meeting Wednesday June 21 in Fenwick, 
and are asking that as many people as possible attend, especially those from 
other communities in Ontario that have been affected by paper sludge 
stockpiling and spreading operations. If enough people attend, maybe the 
Ontario government will be embarrassed into acting on the recommendations of 
their own expert panel, which have been ignored for going on two years now.
