MLAs back BT landfill move
Posted on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 18:04 in Local News
(CNS): Despite mounting opposition in their constituency over government’s decision to move the country’s waste-management facilities to Bodden Town, Dwayne Seymour and Mark Scotland have made it clear they are backing the move. The two government representatives have stated that the George Town dump is not being relocated to their district but that “a state-of-the-art 21st century waste management facility is being developed there,” although not everyone in their district is convinced. Accusing the opposition, the independent member and “their cohorts” of trying “to pit the good people of Bodden Town against other Caymanians”, the UDP MLAs said their government was committed to putting in place an effective solution to address the "dump debacle" that the former administration “couldn’t solve.” (Photo Dennie WarrenJr)
“The dump problem is not a George Town problem or a Bodden Town problem but a Cayman Islands problem,” Scotland and Seymour said in a statement released by AtWater Consulting.
The MLAs said that although the PPM was responsible for the failure to address the landfill problem, the opposition and the Independent member had “the audacity to use a serious issue related to the welfare of all Caymanians as a political football for political mileage.”
In the statement the MLAs failed to address the mounting and non-political opposition to the plan and failed to address the questions that have been raised by the Coalition to Keep BT Dump Free, which is a single issue organisation formed by district residents to campaign against the landfill relocation.
While the MLAs said that the People of the Cayman Islands were entitled to answers to reasonable questions, neither offered answers to many of those asked by the coalition.
“We, in the government, are working to put in place the right solution for our waste management situation,” the district representatives stated. “We are carrying out a comprehensive review and design process to implement the correct solution for the waste management facility. The public is being intentionally misled to believe that the dump is being moved to Bodden Town and this would be very good reason for concern if it were happening – the facility to be developed in Bodden Town will bear no resemblance whatsoever to, nor will it be operated in a similar manner as the dump in George Town.”
Scotland and Seymour said it was a slap in the face to future generations of Caymanians in Bodden Town, George Town and throughout the Islands for both the PPM and the Coalition to make far-fetched assertions that the current location, in its current form, is acceptable.
However, at no time have any of those involved in the coalition or the opposition stated that the current situation is acceptable. The PPM, the independent member and the coalition all support government’s own original plans to address the land fill via a waste to energy solution. The cross-party group created under the last administration had agreed on that solution and the current administration had already selected a company to undertake the project, which had wide community support at the end of 2010.
Even though the solution government now proposes forms part of a major investment alliance with the islands’ biggest developer, which is a policy decision by the UDP, the BT MLAs said that they could “unequivocally” say they were not playing politics. They went on to add, however, that as elected members and part of the present government they had an obligation to uphold and direct policy that will be in the best interest of the Caymanian people.
“The direction that this Government has taken in relation to putting in place a solution for a proper waste management facility is the correct one, and subject to the proper protocols related to implementation of a waste management facility, we expect that the entire country will concur that we are doing the right thing at the right time for the people of the Cayman Islands,” they stated.
The MLAs further stated that they were "not prepared to face a staged performance of opposition and attack strategists who have no real interest in working with the government” but they did not say if that meant they would refuse to meet the coalition.
They did say that in the coming days they would be addressing a myriad of issues specifically related to the Bodden Town district.
Meanwhile the coalition pointed to comments made by Dwayne Seymour on Cayman27 on Friday where he said he didn’t have all the information on the proposed move, querying how he and his colleague could support the relocation. It also pointed out that the coalition is not a political movement.
"The Coalition is completely non-political, unaffiliated with any political party, and open to support from members of any political party," said Vincent Frederick, one of the leaders of the coalition that stood as an independent candidate in the 2009 election. "We do not support either party and our only advice come the next elections is 'don't vote for any candidate who supports moving the dump to Bodden Town'. This is our only concern -- and it should be Mr Seymour's and Mr Scotland's top priority if they were the least bit concerned with the interest and well-being of their constituents.”
The coalition again sent a message to both UDP members that they were elected to represent the interests of Bodden Town, not those of Dart.
Gregg Anderson challenged Seymour over the accusations that the people were being misled by those who oppose the moving of the dump.
“The coalition does have the facts, and opposes a dump in Bodden Town because of these facts. You claim that you don't have the facts, but you support putting a dump in your own district, in spite of not having the facts," Anderson added.
“Is it not a fact that the Department of Environmental Health (DEH) hasn't in its possession a single document relating to the relocation of the GT dump, or to the selection of Bodden Town as the preferred site? Was this Government decision taken behind the backs of the DEH as well? Is it not a fact that no Environmental Impact Assessment has ever been done, and that this would be the very first required step, in any country, before moving a dump and before choosing a new site? Is it not a fact that the Central Tenders Committee, following the due process of the law, rejected the Dart proposal to move the GT dump, because the environmental impact was of 'great concern' to its technical team?" he asked.
The coalition pointed to the recent revelations on CNS regarding the CTC's technical team’s considerations of the bids submitted in response to government’s request for tender and their concerns regarding the Dart proposal.
The coalition agrees, however, that there still is missing information, and Alain Beiner challenged the MLAs to reveal what it is that they are hiding from the people.
"We believe that you do have the facts, and we ask you how in the world did your government manage to dump the CTC's first choice to solve the problem of Mount Trashmore, and then run with the CTC's very last choice?" he asked. "Who did pick Bodden Town, why and when? These are the real missing facts, and we have to assume that your government has them,” he said to the district’s representatives.

Anon 7:05 you are very
Anon 7:05 you are very confused.
I encourage you to check the facts as stated on the For Cayman Investment Alliance Website the link for which i have attached for your ease of reference.
http://www.forcayman.com/the-projects/wmf/
It clearly states that Dart will fund the capital costs of a Waste Management Facility up to completion of Phase 1 which is estimated to be US$26.5 million.
If you took the time to research the cost of a fully funtional and effective waste management facility you will be sure to find that the cost is much closer to US$100 million. In Cayman these costs may well be higher. For US$26.5 million in Cayman you may get a couple of buildings, a few holes dugged out and lined and some paving and drainage work done.
The big question is where will the remaining 70 million dollars come from?
To date govt has claimed "not to be in the financial position" to handle this landfill problem. So if govt cant come up with the rest of the money needed to complete the other phases of the waste management facility, it is very likely we will end up with a DUMP in Bodden Town.
And by the way you still haven't answered the main question..."Why cant the new waste management facility be built on the exisiting George Town site??"
If the waste management
If the waste management facility cannot be built at the site in George Town, it can easily be built in one of the two MLA's yards. We have been blessed with two stooges to represent Bodden Town, so our expectations should be no more than what is being proposed, a DUMP.
How many governments has displays such an negative attitude towards the people who put them up front to represent them. I am sure their are many who are wishing that they could retract the X. You can only cry over spilt milk, but remember, don't make the same mistake again.
No consultation with the people, only darting around. Cayman God-send. We are not for sale.
Misery may love company, but
Misery may love company, but misery is still misery. The peoples voices are rising rapidly, but it seems like these politicians don't care about them, but their selfish greedy money hungry ways, and putting an extraordinary strain on their own people . We the people of Bodden Town and the Cayman Island need not be silent no more! Change is coming and change is needed because our Government is one of the biggest "SELL OUTS" that I have ever witness in my entire life. I am almost 79 years old and my Great Grandma(r.i.p) used to say "My Child someday you are gonna leave this world... "but I say to you go down fighting with every last breath you have in you for your beloved Country"
We need to speak up so our voices can be heard from here to the England shores even if it means writing to the Queen of England to let her know what's happening in our beloved Country. To think that our own politicians won’t do much to address these problems to the Bodden Town people first, to resolve the ability to take strong actions to address their serious concerns. But my people I cry shame on us, that's right me also for voting for Mr. Seymour & Scotland that do not even want to listen to us all much-less hear our cry. I am a very strong believer in God and I will always put him first... so I suggest prayer above anything else then we can start taking action to get these two so called elected members out the house.
I have a very large family base that voted for the UDP and together we will also vote them out in 2013. I think that we need politicians that really and truly care for the people and can stand up for us and be there whenever we need them. Mr. Eden I like him for he's a very nice and kind respectful man. So Mr. Eden our vote would be for you. My family and I also like Mr. Frederick because he's very aggressive and stern and he gets straight to the point and is not afraid to speak whatever is on his mind. We need someone that can stand up like Mr. Frederick to defend us against Dart and Company so our vote would also be for him. Last but not least Mr. Osbourne another aggressive man and well like so our vote would go for him also. To my Bodden Town people and my Caymanian people whom I love so much... let me say something to you all before I go, or before the lord ever take me home...
" know that your voice is a weapon speak up my people and let it be heard be not afraid of Satan and let God always be your guide"
This is one time that Bodden
This is one time that Bodden Towners drop the substance and grasped at the shadow. It is not too late to learn. We can only trust in God to take us through this storm (worse than Ivan), and keep the good ship Cayman afloat.
We are being sold and the carpet is slipping from under our feet.
I think having a state of the
I think having a state of the art waste management facility is a much better idea than a dump.
The problem is that Dart is NOT providing a state of the art waste management facility in Bodden Town.
Dart is only providing the land and lining a few holes where a new dump will be started unless we the people can come up with tens of millions of dollars to set up a waste management facility.
Also, no one seems to be able to answer the question "Why cant the new state of the art waste management facility be built at the existing dump site in George Town????"
That would be a win win as Bodden Towners wont have anything to complain about as there will be no waste facility coming to their neighbourhood and George Towners would have a lot to celebrate as Mount Trashmore could be reduced and cleaned up over time.
I think this would be the best way forward.
To Chris 00;02 I think you
To Chris 00;02
I think you are a bit confussed. didnt you listen to the hard talk with Jacki and Ezzard on Tuesday morning? Dart will be building the waste management facility in BT what is so hard to understand about this? for Christ sake... man, give it up!
This has nothing to do with Bodden Town, it is a national issue and the nation will have a win win situation.
Let me tell all you professionals about the George Town dump, there is hardly anything in that dump you to burn, you would be wasting you time trying to burn marl, which was trucked in by the thousands of tons, to cover the rubbish. Over the years the burnable material has now turned to compos/ top soil, do you want to burn that?
You will find lots of different types of metal...tons of it , batterys full of acid,medical waste, oil slush from the two oil terminals, and lot of toxic material. Is this what you want to burn and poison our people?
Lets stop the bickering... stupidness, and let the country and its people prevail.
I hope the Government wont have problems with the Caymanian people, educating them about recycling.
I am a Bodden Towner and I
I am a Bodden Towner and I will do whatever it takes to keep the DUMP out of Bodden Town. Let them utilise the 30 acres of land and continue the facility that was started by the PPM. This government has wasted more money on travel than any other, with no results. No DEVELOPMENT, no JOBS, only PROMISES. Stop giving away Crown Land and depriving the citizens of their birthright.
Why can't we just implement a
Why can't we just implement a waste management facility...
Moving it to BT won't solve a thing.
I wish our government didn't sell their souls to DART on some aspects. When all is said and done, more is said than done.
anon 21:09 Why are you so
anon 21:09
Why are you so against Dart? is it because of his association with our Premier?
Do you covet him for his money?
Mark and Dwayne should have
Mark and Dwayne should have more respect for the people who voted them into the Legislative Assembly than to ask Atwater, who speaks for Dart, to issue a press release on their behalf. Really come on now, they are actually asking Dart to address the people of Bodden Town. What a disrespectful act this is!
Nothing good can come from this Government!
Everything they do have to have some covert agenda.
Move the dump gives Dart property increased value in the $100M's.
Give Dart 3731 feet of West Bay Road gives Dart property increased value in the $100M's.
Build a replacement Road through Dart's own land that adds increased value to Dart's land locked property!
Sadly though, people still believei this whole For Cayman, I mean For Dart thing will create jobs. Well maybe some road work for $300 a week, but these are not sustainable jobs my friends.
I have my suspicions about the the GLF settlement too, something just do not sit wll there!.
We have to do something about the amount of Garbage on this island. Too many rats around right now.Too many Rats, too maany rats! They in the house, they in the churches, they in the Banks and they in the offices!
All men should admit when
All men should admit when they are wrong...women too. I voted against Mr. Clifford in 2009 primarily because of the Commission of Enquiry. I clearly made a serious mistake.......we should have listened to Chuckie when he told us what would happen if we voted for McKeeva, the UDP and his BT Puppets. Our country has never been in such a mess before Cayman !!!.
When I look at what was achieved in BT when Mr. Clifford was in Cabinet compared to what we have gotten in the past 3 yrs from the UDP it paints a very depressing picture. And now they want to give us a dump after 3 years of neglect !!!!
I for one will right the wrong that I did in 2009 when I voted against Mr. Clifford. I'm getting my old broom ready.........lets get ready to sweep BT clean.........all 3 must go because the other one has been sleeping for the past 3 yrs and hasn't helped either.
I think if done correctly you
I think if done correctly you would'nt be able to tell its a landfill just like in the states, but knowing how our government is they will cut corners to save cost, but let the people of bodden town suffer.

Is is true, "you make the wrong choice, you suffer". When we forfeit our dignity for money, it is the route of all evil,so my votes can't be bought, and no special favours are anticipated.
Sparky, my concern is not the
Sparky, my concern is not the Government. the facility will be developed by Dart, and it will be the state of the art type of facility.
What bothers me, are the ignorant Caymanians that are not going to pay for this service, the lasy ones that refuse to be educated about recycling. the ones that will continue to mix all their waste in one can.
This will need legislation, if not in place already. Remember government had to increase our import duties, to try and pay for waste collection. because the people wouldnt pay the fees. So its not the Government, it's our own people we should worry about.
What we need to worry about,
What we need to worry about, silly, is how you and I are forever going to pay the increased fees for trucking garbage to Bodden Town as a result of our Gowerment's efforts to please one rich man. A classic example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. This needs to come to an end in Cayman. Dart does NOT need to be made richer, and certainly not at our expense, which is what this gowerment seems to be hell bent on doing in whatever way they possibly can.
A bigger concern is bigots
A bigger concern is bigots like you that would try to sell the notion that only Caymanians are responsible for all the local waste management problems. Do you realize how many different nationalities these Islands accommodate? Can you please post the stats on here showing that non garbage fee payments and any other faults associated with waste management responsibilities are only attributed to Caymanians?
Perhaps, you should caution yourself when trying to “pin” a national problem on a specific nationality. Also, referring to others as uneducated and spelling the word “lazy” as “LACY” …Well, you go figure.
So why cant we start or
So why cant we start or enforce laws that we start separating the trash for all places that serve alcohol and food.
Have 4 different trash out in front for 1) paper 2)glass 3) metals 4)plastics and a fifth for the kitchen if serving food which goes in dumpster. and the other 4 left by dumpster for pick up. I am sure that amount of food does not get thrown away so i guess the larger bin for the most used which i assume will be plastics and/or glass.

Not directly related but, why are MLAs issuing press releases through an external consulting company? Does GIS no longer exist? The website clearly shows that they do. http://www.gis.ky/
It is my understanding that Government employs people at GIS for the purpose of construction and disseminating press releases and managing public relations in general. So, I would love an explanation as to why additional money is being doled out to a marketing consulting company to do the same work. Our money at work.

How bout if they stuck to the original proposal instead of giving into Dart's NIMBY attitude and other whims? That was the original plan and is the obvious alternative.

So exactly what are you actually trying to shoot at language wise. Its not Caymanian and pathetic for Jamaican. You speech is of a half twit.
Your Cayman talk is getting
Your Cayman talk is getting stale now! People are angry because these two MLAs are suppose to be representing Cayman - not Dart nor Party! The dump is an issue but direct representation is a larger one that has many Caymanians frustrated.
The reality that waste
The reality that waste management is a national issue and not a district issue needs to be understood by all within the country. This district separation needs to change as it is old and useless. The East End and North Side MLAs seem to thrive on it and this hurts the country's development.
What should be stressed is that the new waste management facility is recycling and the program for national recycling is in place. Why the Independent and PPM are not stressing recycling is a disgrace. It seems like an afterthought to them. Recycling should be a unamimous vote within government to assure recycling is part of this new facility in Boddentown.
anon 18;19 Thank you for
anon 18;19
Thank you for your great speach, you are so true about these reps, they so hell bent on removing the present Government, that they keep putting their foot in their mouth.
How stupid can our voters be, that they cant detect the unorthodox way these political hopefulls, have reverted to do their campaign.
BT, This facility that is coming to your district will only bring opportunities and prosperity closer to home.
What your reps. should be doing is try to educate you on some of the opportunities that will be available, get you in with the programs...the recycling aspect of it.
Let me tell you a true story. It was back in 1979 in the city of Phoenix Arizona. this old black man had mountains of old used tyres. people used to make fun of him and called him crazy.
It was that year, some geneious came up with the scientific idea that used tyres could be recycled and used for other porposes. I dont have to tell you how the story ended, you have a brain use it. use it also to see the benifits you will get form this facility, and stop following the hopefulls.
They grind tires into bits
They grind tires into bits and use them in asphalt plants to mix with roadway wear serface material. The dump facility could be doing this in George Town and a lot more with a mega grinder..
The modern waste management plant use mechanical devices built around the maga grinder to seperate waste material.. Magnets, screens, and forced air to name a few..
With the right equipment, no need to depend on Joe homeowner to seperate the trash..
Has anyone thought that the
Has anyone thought that the cost of garbage collection (as well as wear and tear on the roads) will go up if the dump is no longer located near to the biggest sources of garbage on the island? It's a serious point. Most of our garbage must be created on the SMB strip and in West Bay & GT.
Honestly now, is
Honestly now, is there anywhere on the island the dump would be welcome, probably not, but it has to go somewhere! And Mr. Dart is definitely tired of having it next to his multi million dollar venture, so unfortunately its BT.
***Spin Doctors*** Dump =
***Spin Doctors***
Dump = Waste Management Facility
Garbage Collectors = Environmental Engineers
People this is not about in BT its best, this is about anywhere but by Dart is best.
Let's look at the situation for what it really is.
West Bay = McKeeva Bush backyard so that's a no go.
George Town = Its already there. So that's a no go.
North Side = Ezzard Miller who has a big mouth so thats a no go.
East End = Arden McLean another big mouth and we all saw how Mega Quarry went.
Which brings us to:
Bodden Town = 2 UDP and 1 PPM.
People of Bodden Town this is the thanks you have gotten for placing two @#@# in house who didn't deserve to be there to begin with.
This dump is being relocate to BT because it is too close to DART MANOR. When moved his land prices will increase and this is the REAL REASON for the move.
The UDP members are accepting this because they in typical UDP fashion have no choice because Big Mac says so.
2013 People we know what we have to do. UDP must go down in every district. That means no Juliana, No Helio. Mike ain't too bad as he is a yes man like Anthony. Mark and John John must go. WB we can't do much about sorry to say. Until we get either PPM or some other driving force in West Bay we will be stuck with UDP there.
*applauds* Pity there's
*applauds*
Pity there's currently nobody else out there worth voting for. I'd rather not vote at all than vote for any of the current candidates.

Mac will move anything that increases Dart's land value. Anything from dumps to roads. The Cayman peoples wishes be damned.
And it hurts you that Drat is
And it hurts you that Drat is so rich!
Why mention PPM?? I would
Why mention PPM?? I would like to see West Bay vote in an Independent for a change. Someone who will not make alliances with big shots to get ahead, and someone who is not a follower of a party, but can think for him/her self.
It is impossible for these
It is impossible for these people to open their mouths without finding some way of dissing the PPM. It is a part of their inherent nature that their beloved leader has very successfully and permanently brought to the forefront. It is a good indication of their level of intelligence and education and self esteem. And why not? After all, whether their dissing is at all relevant or whether it has the slightest inkling of truth doesn't matter in the least, because it makes them feel better and because it is somehow supposed to reduce the blinding glare of their own stupidity in the eyes of the public. Mark very conveniently forgot to mention that the UDP failed to do something about the dump BEFORE the PPM. Its been around and its been a problem for 50 years for God's sake. What on earth does that have to do with what needs to be done NOW?
I wonder if they remember
I wonder if they remember what happened to PPM when the people spoke against the Schools:) I am really wondering what Mario Rankin, Elio Solomon, Dwayne Seymour and Mark Scotland is going to do after next election.....
BT people its sad to say but
BT people its sad to say but its true... get ready for the flow of traffic, smell, pollution and lost in property value....BT people I hope and pray that you all still plan to fight this whole ordeal....Remember as Bt Citizens you still has your rights to march down to the MLA Office and also the the Governers Office to raise your concerns to stop this from occuring...
This is not about politics BT people this is about your district a peaceful, clean and quiet community. I went to the meeting in BT and it was over at least a hundred concern BT Citizens there and also other district MLA members and you mean to tell me your own two representatives did not even had the respect muchless the odasity to show up for an important meeting for their own people??? I am not even from BT and this has anger me.....
I felt so sorry for the BT people but yet concern because they seem to have no hope anymore after seeeing that their own two representatives has left them to defend for themselves. The two main ones that should had been there left them out in the dark. Rise up! I say to the BT people Get up and Satnd up together in unity and you can win this! Mr. Frederick I understand is leading this colation and Mr. Frederick I pray and hope that you can get a petition going for your people for their is still hope! One more thing that makes me sad is to know that after over one hundred people that was at the BT meeting to raise their concerns the fact is the their two elected officials still want to move ahead with this plan...this is the part that i think hurts most with the Bt people...
It is sad to think that this
It is sad to think that this little island will be sold out to big corporations with the like of DART etc. can control the political arena here; a proof of desperate economic times for Cayman Islands government. The people who we have chosen to represent; are failing us miserably. They are mere muppets(mouth pieces) for the interests of these corporations. It is time for the people to take a more proactive approach and stand up for what is right.
John John and Mark Mark! I
John John and Mark Mark!
I dont think 'the people' in Bodden Town want any new-fangled, high-falutin dump in their hometown!
The 'people' meaning the ones who voted you into power so that you two smart young men can represent their wishes.

Come on people, at least our
Come on people, at least our two representations are prepared to do what others would not dare to do, dump garbage on us.
Mr. Seymore and Mr Scottland
Mr. Seymore and Mr Scottland you can all start packing your bags from now if you think you are going to be coming to BT to build that dump site you all got another thing coming!!!!! We the people pf BT will setup a road block because HELL is going to break loose!!!! RESIGN! RESIGN!! FOR WE ARE GOING TO CALL AND MARCH FOR THE TWO OF YOUR RESIGNATION A PETiTION WILL SOON BE FILE AND NOTHING WILL STOP US!!!
Somebody pleaseeeee shoot
Somebody pleaseeeee shoot me! Man I should had voted for Vinny instead!!! At least he's showing us that he is for the BT people....Mark and John John you have betrayed us like Judas betray Christ! You both are the laughing stock of your own community lol a state of the art waste management facility you got to be kidding me????
They are politicians don't
They are politicians don't expect more from them. When they are ousted, as surely they will be after receiving substantial salaries and benefits paid for by voters there is also a good chance they will be employed in some fashion by the people they represented. And let's be clear it wasn't the voters. Politics is a mere step for these individuals and a way to make connections. Representative democracy is a thing of the past and the concept is still used to mollify us. Vote? For whom?? One appears to be as incompetent as the other. Too often people are fighting their governments trying to prevent decisions being made that have nothing to do with them. We must now depend on ourselves, our intelligence, and our solidarity and observe politics for what it is. A game. An entertainment no better than watching wrestling.
Thankfully the people of
Thankfully the people of Bodden Town are willing to take a stand against this decision. I'm hoping that the memories last until the next election and the Bodden Towner's rally up 3 new representatives to vote in.
I haven't had seen any evidence where Dwayne has earned his hefty pay cheque and while mark is attempting to earn his keep he is still under the rulers thumb and can't seem to make his own decisions.
Tick Tock the clock is ticking and it is definitely time for a clean sweep in BT.
CNS! I hope this one gets
CNS! I hope this one gets posted!!!
People take their money and vote them out as I can see it already and it should be lots more to spare by them. I bet we'll see them the coming knocking on people doors but hope they stay away like they did at Christmas with their turkeys.
Stay strong BTers!! Vincent to rescue.
And I will say it
And I will say it again...Bodden Town got what they deserve for allowing those two to even continue to run. You people waited till after the election to do something..there was a deadline and you went and filed it after the fact. Kurt you are so full of it and have no b...s...Anthony Eden same for you too. Both of you are from Bodden Town and didn't do a damn thing...now look at what you get...and when election time comes around UDP will be back in AGAIN!!!!
