Hyd�ro's proposed transmission route unacceptable •
By Stephanie Levesque
The 'Ministry of Agriculture and Food
(OIvMAF),.accepts the 'transporting of power'
from Bruce Nuclear Power Development
(BNPD), but does not approve of .Ontario
Hydro's proposed route.
Deputy minister 'of agriculture and food,
Duncan Allen, who appread March 16 before -
the Consolidated Hearings Board which is
hearing evidence on Ontario Hydro's • six
route stage study areas for' transmission
lines' in Southwestern Ontario, said a
ministry study, recommends transmission
routes M3 or MS.
The ministry's preference for M3 or M$ is
based on ;a study prepared°for them by the
Ontario Institute of Pedology (01P), started
last fall and completed in January.: Allen,,
said the 01P study reviewed the studies by
Ontario Hydro and made its recommenda-
tions using • agriculture, as •priority.
Allen 'i said of the. two "routes preferred by
OMAF, his personal choke is M3, which' has
a 500,000 -volt double circuit line from BNPD
to Essa, ,two 500,000 -volt, single circuit lines
from Nanticoke to the London area, and a
500,000 -volt double circuit line from Middle.
port to Milton. .
Of the six 'proposals, Hydro prefers Ml,
which has a 500,000.volt transmission line
from BNPD to the London area and another .
500;000 -volt line from the London area to.
Middleport.
"The ministry objects to Ml," said Allen,
adding MI and M6 were the worst 'possible
choices..
He madeit clear the ministry will work
with hydro to make sure the . actual route
chosen does the least, damage and has the
least impact . on agriculture. Considering
.foodland planning as high priority, Allen
said he wanted present foodland planning to
be 'considered well done in the future..
problem agreeing with the statement that
certain things are given. He was referring to
' Alien's comments that power has to be taken
out of ,Bruce.
Allen , said the . process of planning at
Bruce has been going on for a number of
years and additional power has to, be moved
onto the grid in Southwestern' Ontario: He
said' it isn't up to ` the ministry to second
guess the need.
The other route preferred' by OMAF, MS, Allen agreed with. Tony McQuail of the
has a 500,000 -volt single circuit line from Huron County Federation of Agriculture that
Bruce to Essa and two 500,000 -volt single energy conservation is important. Th
circuit lines from Bruce to the. London area. , deputy minister•said the. most efficient farm
Elbert Van Donkersoed of the Christian operation would be one where less emphasis
Farmers' Federation of Ontario, while is ' 'on additional fertilizers to increase
stating he ; is pleased with the ministry's productivity,
involvement in the hearings, said he had a McQuail asked which is more important, a
secure food' supply or exporting .electricity
and. Allen replied, it isn't a matter of choice,
rather both are needed.
Pat Daunt of the Ontario Cattlemen's
Association asked if Allen could foresee a
second generator station in Southwestern
Ontario,. but Allen said heis not "'privy" to
hydro's future planning. He said from his ' ,
novice point of view, such a plan would be
"marginal", .

Daum asked which .is more :important,
environment or • agriculture, and .. Allen
replied environment is not as pertinent in
Southern Ontario as it is in Northern Ontario
with its timber resource. He added he knew
of no unique aquatic species in any of the
proposed routes thatweuld be affected by
transrnissioti lines,

species?" asked Daunt, '
Allen agreed they are disappearing.
