They say timing is everything. Well, after a few days of heavy rain on March 31 and April 1 2023 it became obvious that the ditches around Melbourne could not handle the volume coming down from the heavens. Several areas were seen overtopping the ditches and flowing onto back yards and fields. The proposed waste site has two ditches running through the property. If 3” of rain can do this, then 5” (which we have had twice in the last 5 years) would cause a catastrophic spill at a human waste dump being considered by the Ministry of Environment. The Sydenham river and Lake St Clair would be inundated with raw human sewage.
I took some pictures of the flooded diches along Melbourne Rd and tried submit them for review. Unfortunately they would not upload onto this site. They showed a farmer field underwater from the ditch overtopping, a lake on a backyard and a view of a ditch flooded and flowing onto a residence. Let me know how to upload them and I will try again. These ditches can manage over 12 ft of water depth before overtopping.
I am not in favour of the waste site proposal and fully expect to have to deal with a waste spill if it is approved. The cost for that sort of spill cleanup would be in the millions of dollars. Every property owner affected would be seeking compensation from the Ministry of the Environment. If there is any doubt that spills are common I refer you to a BBC article that showed sewage being spilled into waterways in England over 800 times EVERY DAY!!!
