TRASH STEAM PLANT BIG ATTRACTION

. HARRISBURG, PAs (AP) — They come from Los Angeles and New York, from Canada and Germany, to see this city's 13-year-old trash-to-steam plant, hoping to find how to dispose of their own city’s garbage.

“I should start charging, as an additional revenue source, for tours,” Mayor Stephen Reed said jokingly of the two-furnace facility.

The plant can burn 740 tonnes of garbage daily, the amount that would be produced by a city of 423,000. Harrisburg itself has a population of about 55,000.

The heat produces steam that is sold for revenue. One day, officials hope the plant will generate electricity too.

“We're going to see a good many of the plants built in this country during the rest of this century,” said Charles Johnson, technical director of the National Solid Wastes , Kaoocietion ti 4

Although less than five per cent of the country's trash is now hauled to such plants, they could be handling

25 per cent of the garbage within 10 years while landfill space continues to diminish, he said. Getting rid of trash is becoming an acute problem in

many communities. In Pennsylvania alone, the number of i ndfills has

from more than 1,000

in 1970 to about 115 today. Sites close when they reach capacity or do not meet regulations. New landfills are often blocked by opposition from local residents.

The city-run plant in Harrisburg is one of about 12 large trash-to-steam plants in the United States that burn more than 500 tonnes of waste daily.

Trucks pull up to the facility and dump the trash into

a 10-metre deep pit.

A grapple lifts the garbage, a tonne at a time, and puts it in furnaces heated to 980 degrees. Steam produced by the burning material is sent through pipes to the centre city. Unused steam is vented at the plant, billowing around the building. For years, money earned from steam sales and dumping charges did not cover operating expenses. The city typically spent $1 million to $2 million annually to subsidize the operation.

But city officials now are confident the plant will be a

money maker.

“It’s getting easier and easier” for the city to get trash to burn in the furnaces, said Chuck King, director of

the plant.

Philadelphia, which is facing a trash disposal crisis, recently began shipping hundreds of tons of refuse to

Harrisburg.

AS_ CO-OPERATIVE

Old mill to re-open

VICTORIA (CP) — Danny MacDonald and more than 100 other plywood workers should get a new lease on life this month, more than a year after losing their jobs.

They were employed at the Victoria Plywood Mill until Pacific Forest Products Ltd. — now CIP Forest Products Inc. — decided to close the mill last June.

For 150 workers at the 32-year-old gill, the announce- ment was the knockout punch. They had already been laid off six months earlier, salvaging $2 million in severance pay and unemployment insurance benefits.

But MacDonald an ex-boxer who wouldn't take no for an answer, dreamed of reviving the mill by forming a co-operative.

Over the next nine months, leaders of the Victoria Plywood Co-operative organized and negotiated with the company, a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific.

They settled last September on an option to purchase at $2.5 million. The co-op initially offered $1 million and the company was seeking $3.4 million.

LEASE BETTER

Last month, however, they changed it all to a lease arrangement.

MacDonald said the payments on the purchase price, plus operating capital would put the mill in a losing situation.

Under the terms of the lease, the payments are set at $27,000 a month for 10 years, for a total of $3.2 million with an option to renew. The co-op also has an option to purchase the plant at $2.5 million.

“The mill will crank up, possibly on April 22, provided we have logs in,” said MacDonald. The lease is set to be signed on April 15 — the same day the co-op is appearing before the Labor Relations Board seeking decertification from the International Woodworkers of America.

Co-op members used to work under the IWA's contract with the company, but have applied to the board for decertification to allow the lower rates to be paid.

MacDonald said the co-op would succeed because the basic labor rate in the union contract would be cut to $8.67 an hour from $13.48 with rates for skilled tradesmen slightly higher.

Roger Lewis, the union president in Victoria, said an objection to the decertification was filed with the labor

board, but the lease arrangement has warranted a second

look for the union.

Still, Lewis thinks the company has the most to gain. “The only winner is CIP Forest Products. They maintain their ownership of the property and they get $3.2

million over 10 years. If there i

decertification and the

co-operative fails, they've got a non-union plywood mill.”

‘The co-op hopes to restart with a work force of 130 and increase it to 178 in three months. The co-op will provide a dental plan and medical insurance.

The only co-operatively owned plywood plant in British Columbia is Richmond Plywood Corp. Its president, Bill Jones, is skeptical about the success of the Victoria mill.

“I think they are making a mistake,” Jones said, referring to the diminishing plywood market.

But MacDonald is optimistic the Victoria co-op will

prove the detractors wrong.

“We are only taking back what we lost, which is three per cent of the market. We won't flood the market. “Time will prove the success of the mill. I'm optimistic.”

Purchases to rise

TORONTO (CP) — Hyun- dai Auto Canada Inc. says it is planning to treble the value of Canadian-made parts it purchases for export to its South Korean vehicle manu- facturing facility this year compared with 1984.

The company said Tuesday it will buy $24 million worth of Canadian parts, up from $8.8 million last year.

“We have stated that we are here not just to sell but to buy as well,” Norman Gib- bons, Hyundai's ¢! ating officer, said ment.

The company said it has recently contracted for the purchase of quartz halogen lights from General Electric Co. and is in the process of setting up agreements to buy fuel filters and carpets from Canadian manufacturers.

The company also an- nounced that it has bought a site in Newmarket, Ont., a town of about 30,000 people 40 kilometres north of Tor- onto, for its $25-million parts plant. When completed by the end of the year, it will employ about 300 people.

for renewal by the first of next month.
