About 25 representatives from agriculture, conserva- tion and government groups in Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin counties were presented with Hydro infor- mation detailing six different routes for the new lines necessary to supply in- creased demand. The representatives will be meeting for the next few months before giving their recommendations to Ontario Hydro on which route they prefer out of the Bruce nuclear power development plant at Douglas Point. Hydro is also meeting with interested groups in Chatham, Listowel, An - caster and Flesherton. "None of these plans are the obvious choice but it's important that we get the power out of the Bruce," said Dave Abbott, communi- ty relations spokesman for Ontario Hydro. "All have, tages and disadvantages.... We need the working group to help us make the trade- off." Ontario Hydro will present a report to the environment minister at the end of Oc- tober including the recommendations made by the five workshop groups. Aftta the minister approves one of the six routes, further workshop sessions and public hearings will be held. Depending on the system and the route chosen, costs could vary from $525 million to $970 million, Abbott told Wednesday's meeting. "What's • decided this summer will decide what sort of system we'll be using in Southwestern Ontario for the rest of the century," said Jim Bayne, supervising planning engineer with On- tario Hydro. "The new line is to provide energy for Southwestern Ontario so that we don't have to pay for the importation of fossil fuels from other provinces." Bayne said the new line is also important to help pre- vent blackouts andbrow- nouts in the future."The ex- isting line could carry everything as long as nothing happens, but if even something minor happens the line would (break down) and carry nothing." Bayne told the group any of the new lines would cause little disruption environmen- tally. "What we are going through is a relatively easy environment assessment situation with just a few towers here and there." Agriculture represen- tatives expressed concern that issues important to the farming comunity were be- ing ignored. "It's pretty well been established that there is a need for more power and I don't think we should spend much time on that," said Ken McGregor of the Ontario Institute of Agrologists. "I guess it all boils down to dollars and cents. Fair compensation (for land taken for the lines), that's the issue." Abbott said compensation will be dealt with in the se- cond stage of the meetings after the province has ap- proved a system and route. "We're looking at the summer of '82 (before the issue will be raised). Ontario Hydro will be picking up the tab for ac- commodation, meals, transportation and an open bar at a joint session of several of the workshop groups. including those from the London and Chatham areas July 18 in Toronto.
