• To the Editor:
Farm organizations in Huron .Coun-
ty have formed a working group to
co -Ordinate involvement by the, agri-
• cultural community at Ontario Hydro's
hearings on• Electric • Power Planning
in South Western Ontario.
• Ontario Hydro has I.released its
• proposals as to public involvement in
the selection of five proposed routes
• for a 500 K.V. line to connect Bruce
Nuclear Power to the South Western
Ontario grid.
• This power line will be used mainly
to export surplus power to the U.S.,
and another nuclear power plant built
on this line in the future could be a
possibility.
• The proposed methodology of public
involvement, timing of the hearings,
headline just a few of the concerns the
group cites in a letter to Ontario
Hydro's chairman, Hugh MacCauley:
Dear Mr. MacCaulay:
• This is to inform you that farm
groups in this area have formed an
Agricultural Power. Line Working
Committee. A Chairman, Tony Mc -
Quail, R. R. # 1, Lucknow, Ontario,
and Secretary, Bill Jongejan, R. R. #
2, Goderich, Ontario, were elected at a
meeting held June 15, 1981.
• We wish to point out that the Public
Participation procedures outlined in
the June 8, 1981, Background infor-
mation on the South Western Ontario
• Working groups do not conform to the
Porter Commission's recommenda-
tions, specifically recommendation 6.3
in several crucial areas:
(a) The most affected citizens seem
least rePresented.
(b) The chairman of the working
groups are being selected by Ontario
Hydro and not by the working groups.
(c) The procedures, agendas, etc, have '
all been prepared by Ontario. Hydro,
without citizen participation or ap-
• proval.
We find ,the current proposal
• unacceptable, and believe the proced-
ure should be revised as to conform
with The Porter Comtnission's recom-
• mendations as to these proceedings..

• We also find the timing of the Public
Participation process absurd if public
• participation is truly desired. After a
long delay in its release • it has been
scheduled in the busiest time in the
• farm calendar. It will also conflict with
holiday time of most other organiza-
tions representing the business sector.
• To allow meaningful public involvement the public participation process
must be rescheduled to late fall and
•winter 1981.
• We are concerned, that so little •
effort has been made to involve local I
citizens. •
We, as a committee, demand to
participate in the public participation
• process and wish to appoint a repres-
entatiye to the appropriate citizens
committee when they are formed. 2
Please give these concerns your
•immediate attention..
