HYDRO BOARD PICKS
MOST EXPENSIVE
POWER CORRIDOR
The new power route chosen for
Ontario Hydro last month, System 1,
will cut a swath through prime
agricultural land from Bruce to Huron
and Middlesex counties, but Hydro has
been ordered to use narrow -based
towers to minimize land loss.
The route from the Bruce Nuclear
Power Development will drop south to
a new transformer station southwest of
London before heading east to the
Nanticoke Generating Station.
The narrow -based towers rather
than the conventional four -legged
pedestals will be required on all fence
lines and in fields where the lines cross
specialty crop lands.
Another board ruling gives all
property owners within 75 metres of
the right of way the option to sell the
entire property to Hydro — and a three-
year period in which to do so.
Ontario Hydro vice-president of
design and construction, Bill Morison,
estimates that the narrow -based towers
will add $25 million to the $427
million cost of the route, already the
most expensive of those considered.
Of three choices, Ontario Hydro
favoured System 1 the least. The
board, whose members included offici-
als from the Ontario Municipal Board
and the provincial Ministry of the
Environment, rejected the Bruce to
Barrie proposals as more damaging to
wetlands and parks.
The five years of data and reasoning
involved in the board decisions are
recorded in a 178 -page report.°
