Oxford County Councillors want to make sure health impacts are studied when it comes to the mega-landfill proposal. Today, County Council unanimously supported a motion from Ingersoll Mayor Ted Comiskey, calling for an epidemiologist to be added to the roster of experts on the Peer Review Team. There was suggestion from CAO Peter Crockett that Walker didn't think a Health Risk Assessment is necessary, as part of the Peer Review. But Mayor Ted Comiskey says it's a crucial factor. "If we have to do studies on plant life, air, wind, dust, water...certainly the overall health effect is something that must be addressed. It's only fair that it be placed on the Terms of Reference as one of the Environmental Assessments to be completed." Comiskey says it's about taking a look at all the risks involved. "Living that close to a landfill, what are the effects? I don't know, I'm not a scientist. But I certainly would like the health issue being addressed." Comiskey also stressed the timing of the motion is key, as we're only 15-days away from Walker's submission of its draft Terms of Reference. There's also a public meeting coming up next week, on Tuesday, from 2-8PM at the Quality Hotel & Suites in Woodstock. It's being hosted by Walker Environmental.
