-the Nanticoke generating station on Lake
Erie. The BNPD to London route would pass
east of Ripley, through MilneId, Colborne
and Goderich Townships, and continuing
west of Ailsa Craig to London.
Tony McQuail, Chairman of the Foodland
Hydro Committee, says he expects between
2.5 and 30 submits' sions from the committee to
be made to the joint board during the hear
ings. However, he says there are few in-
dividual submissions to the board. He says
the committee will base their submissions
on the impact of transmission lines on
agriculture,
"We want to give the board an impression
of the real impact the transmission lines will
have on the land and farming operations.
"We also want them to consider whether it
is prudent to build new transmission lines
from the Bruce Nuclear Power Develop-
ment when there's a lot of confusion as to
the life expectancy of Bruce. They've got
some pretty serious problems up there,"
said Mr. McQuail.
The Hydro panel of 010 Hoglund,
ChristopherBancroft-Wilson, Bill Scott and
Greg Neill of Hydro's design and transmis-
sion department, were first, to speak at the
opening day of hearings. They , gave a
general description and features of the
BNPD to London region, placing particular
significance on agriculture, recreational,
and environmentalasPects of the area.
The recommended hydro BNPD to Lon-
don route, the western route, would run
from Bruce, southward through Greenock,
Bruce and Kincardine Townships, while
avoiding the village of- Glammis and the
Glammis Bog. In traversing 'Kincardine
Township, the line would observe side lot
lines, but moves off the lot lines when cross-
ing the Durham Road, explained Mr: Scott.
In Huron and Ashfield Townships, the
route picks up on the side lot lines again un-
,.
til it reaches the Ashfield - Colborne
Township line where a short diagonal is re-
quired. When crossing the Maitland river,
Hydro considered two possibilities of traver-
sing the river, but both involve a "potential-
ly greateffect on the natural environment,"
said Mr. Scott.
Upon crossing the river, he said the route
does not follow the boundaries because of
the fabric of the river and the built-up area
along Highway 8 near Hohnesville. The
route then follows the CNR railway tracks
on a diagonal and proceeds through
Goderich Township on the side lot lines.
It would then extend on the side lot lines
through Stanley Township, then east of
Zurich while avoiding the Hay swamp in
Hay Township and continues on to London.
In accessing the line, Mr. Scott said the
route generally follows side lot boundaries
which wouldhave a minimal effect on Class
1 and 2 soiLsln the area. The route also, has
limited forestry resources with most of the
woodlots found in the eastern corridor,
- Other technical aspects 'associated with
planning the route were three cable TV
operations and the Goderich Municipal Air-
port, north of Goderich and the Huron Mr
Park near Centralia. In order to deterznine
the clearance for transmission towers near
the airport, Transport Canada and local zon-
fig bylaws. on heightrestrictions were con -
Suited, said Hydro representative Gien
Hoglund.
, In addition, Mr. Hoglund said gas and oil
pipelines run along the:route, but eipIairied'
they don't need a great deal or clearance
and can be adjacent to the hydro lines
In cross-examination of the Hydro panel,
Foodland Hydro Chairman' Tony McQuail
asked the panel members to speak on the
feasibility of using 'wetlands or forestlands
for the transmission corridor as opposed to
' farmland.
Glen Hoglund, of the Hydro panel, said it

Iain lines "real int act"
-would cost Hydro 200 per cent above the
base, cost .to establish a line through
wetlands and a cost of WAD per kilometre
to construct a line through forestlands.
"So I. would' be correct in saying it would
cost twice as much to construct towers in
wetlands and forest lands as compared to
stable soil and the maintenance costs would
be higher in wooded areas than on
farmland," said Mr. McQuail.
Mr. Hoglund was in agreement with Mr.
McQuail on these two statements.
Mr. Mecum -LI further asked.. the Hydro..
representative if they eiiptlIt101441Ydro Hoe

replied Hydro. had to construct a line
through several,. sections of swamp when
building the BNPD to Milton transmission
line.
Mention was made by Mr. McQuail to an
•
existing 115 kv line which runs from east of
Seaforth to Kitchener. Mr. McQuail asked if
use of these existing right-ofways could not
be used instead of establishing -a new line.
' Mr. Hoglund replied the line would not be
appropriate to rebuild because of the nar-
row right-of-ways on the line. He also said
the wooden poles used on the line are not
designed for the 500 kv power lines.
CLINTON - In the third day of hearings on
April 17, Tony McQuail of the Foodland
Hydro Committee asked the Hydro panel
members to comment on the number of
farm buildings which would be removed in
the western and eastern transmission
routes.
Bill Scott of the Hydro panel said the
western route would involve the removal of
three farm buildings. These include a new
