-------------------------------------------------- - - - - --

Mr Charles Lau Drumheller Health Unit
Mr Rick Leyland, Drumheller Health Unit
Mrs Jean Wilkinson, Assistant Municipal Administrator for the M D
was present and recorded the minutes
The Secretary read the minutes from the meeting of the Committee
held October 5th, 1977 and the joint meeting of elected representative
held November lst, 1977
Mr K Wright moved adoption of the minutes from the October 5th,
meeting
Carried
Mr Raymond Frere moved adoption of the minutes from the November lst
meeting
Carried
A letter from Alberta Environment regarding a permit being issued
to operate the new site as a sanitary landfill was read t.o the
meeting The need for the observation well between the sewage
lagoon and the site was discussed and Mr Lau noted it was to
ensure that the base of the sewage lagoon was not being damaged
because of the proximity to the sanitary land fill trenches
There was discussion regarding the need for compacting and covering
the trench three times a week It was pointed out that the
site is to be operated as a sanitary land fill and not as a
modified sanitary land fill, and this is the reason for the
need for covering three times a week
The Secretary read a report prepared by Mr Jeffery regarding
the need for hiring a person to replace Mr Eric Bowhay, caretaker,
who has submitted his resignation Mr Ruben Spady is interested
in the job After discussion Mr Permann moved that Mr
Spady be hired for the job at $5 00 per hour with no extra
pay or compensation for car expenses
Carried
The need for a crawler and scraper to fill and compact the
trench was then discussed The M D has a crawler and scraper
which may be available for sale at a estimated price between
$11,000 00 and $17,000 00 Any price would be subject to
verification by the Council It appears that the M D would
not be able to send a cat to the site three times a week to
do this work The matter of storage for the crawler was also
discussed It was generally agreed that this matter be left
in abeyance at this time
The disposal of old car bodies was then discussed and Mr Wright
stated the Town of Three Hills would probably have no objection
to the car bodies being stored at the site as they will be needing
more car bodies for the sewage lagoon
Mr Charles Lau then reviewed with the meetin report
m ici�a H e wit ' ii it e
Alberta Environment have stated that the rum e ter ea n
will be entitled to receive 50% of the surplus of that department;'
on condition that the municipalities pass a by -law to authorize
a joint public work development and a committee be formed rn

Page 2
as a Regional Land Fill Committee with members appointed by
resolutions of the councils involved to study the formation
of a Regional Land Fill Operation, and if the same is feasable
to set up such an operation The regional land fill committee
could cover the City of Drumheller, I D 7 County of Wheatland
M D Starland and the M D of Kneehill
The one condition was that the committee be formed before March
31st, 1978
Mr Lau noted that each participating municipality could pass
the by --law and appoint a member to the committee and then
after studying the matter, if they felt they could not participate
in the regional land fill, they would be free to drop out
A regional land fill can be formed if a city and one municipality
take part
It appears that 50% of the surplus of this department would
purchase all the capital equipment required for establishment
of the regional land fill, including the trailer dump boxes, etc
This would then leave only the operating costs to be picked
up by the municipalities involved
Mr Lau then reviewed his cost estimates for such an operation
He noted that the cost for the required trailer and for the
dump boxes have increased since 1977
Kr Lau also compared the 1976 -1977 financial statement of the
Kneehill Sanitary Land Fill Committee with his estimated figures
for operation of a regional land fill
Kr Wright noted that in the Town of Three Hills one man and
a truck are kept busy all week picking up garbage but the
estimated figures are for only possibly two days a week in
Three Hills It did not seem possible for one man and one truck
to pick up the garbage in Three Hills in one or two days
Zr Lau noted that studies have shown that one man with a truck
; hould be able to average 350 pick ups per day The average
:ime for each pick up is 60 seconds
there was discussion regarding what would happen to the costs
if Trochu and Torrington did not participate It was also
toted that although the initial capital cost might be covered by
the government grant, the maintenance and other expenditures
for replacement of capital items would be the responsibilty
)f the municipalities Also if the grant from the government
lid not cover the entire cost, the balance would have to be picked
ip by the municipalities
sir Permann noted that the Regional Resource Committee had asked
:he Provincial Government for an on -going grant tc cover the
posts for a sanitary land fill operation and the Minister
if Environment had agreed to have a look at the situation
when bringing down his 1978 budget
Chere was discussion regarding the location of the dump boxes
Ln the towns and villages and it was noted the boxes would serve
:he towns and villages as well as the surrounding rural areas
Chere was also discussion regarding the amount of garbage generated
)y a family per week and Mr Lau noted in a rural area about 31 9
)ounds per family per week is the average and about 49 pounds
>er family per week in an urban center
'here was discussion regarding the costs for running the tractor
which Mr Lau estimated in his report at 75(,, per running mile
'here was discusson regarding the site for a regional land fill,
ind Mr Lau noted the City of Drumheller now has a site operating
7hich could be used by the other areas It is located 2 miles
past of Drumheller on #10 highway towards Rosedale Each area
ising the site would pay a charge to the City for use of the site
Zr Lau noted he would try to have a model by-law prepared and forwards
:o each municipality concerned soon, and would then try to arrange a
ieeting for around March 15th to see who would be willing to pa.rticipai
_n such a regional land fill committee i

R
Mr Robert Wainwright of Three Hills entered the meeting WAINWRIG]
at 10 25 A M to discuss with Council the operation of KEIVER LA]
Keiver Lake for 1978 He asked about the possibility of PARK
leasing the park, installation of certain facilities
and fencing in order to charge for use of the campgrdunds
He felt this would be the only way to control the campground
and stop the vandalism and harrassment of the campers by
motorbikes and vehicles He outlined possible charges
ranging from $7 00 for larger camper units down to $1 00
per year for picnic privileges for local residents
He noted it would require installation of power, plus
a pump with lines to some camp sites, and a holding tank
for sewer disposal
Mr Wainwright noted he would not be interested in running
his concession at the park this summer without more
effective control of the park ✓
