'W140113,105 Of great concern to the people of Ontario today is the ,Provincial Government plans for the expansion of Ontario Hydro transmission lines throughout the Province. It was back on July 11, 1974, that the former Minister of Eriergy, Darcy McKeough outlined the plans of the government and of the Hydro Corporation with respect to the generation of electricity and its distribution; Ontario Hydro's goal is for the construction of nine new nuclear power stations by 1993 at a cost of more than $105 billion. The plans call for two thirds of the Province energy needs to be supplied by nuclear power within 20 years. The five projects approved for construction in July were; construction of a 2,000 megawatt oil fired generating station at Wesleyville in Hope Township, a second nuclear station at Pickering and two heavy water plants for the Bruce nuclear generating plant. This would involve a total investment in excess of $2.6 million. The major transmission corridors that were chosen were a 500 KV transmission line from the Middleport Tran- sformer station, near Nan- ticoke, to the Cherrywood Transformer station, near Pickering, at an estimated cost of $360 tnillion and a 500 KV line from Bradley Junction to Orangeville through the Limehouse crossing south to Milton and the Toronto area. In the eastern part of the Province, along Lake Ontario, Commonwealth Associates Incorporated, an independent organization has studied the route for a transmission corridor between the Pickering and Lennox generating stations. Their findings are now being reviewed by the Solandt Commission, a commission established by the Government to discuss the matter with Hydro, the public and in- terested groups and make recommendations. In addition to this Govern- ment approved program, Ontario Hydro has plans for a second 500 KV corridor to join the Bruce complex to the Toronto area, and has ex- pressed the need to supply 500 KV power -to the London and Kitchener areas by 1980. The supply of 500 KV power to Kitchener formed part of the Bradley to Georgetown Environmental Study released by Ontario Hydro in January 1975. These projects comprise Ontario Hydro's expansion program from 1977 to 1982. Included with the statement of July 11, was a report by Ontario Hydro entitled "Long Range Planning of the Electric Power System". This report is to form the basis for the ex- pansion program of Ontario Hydro from 1982 to 1993. The date for public hearings into these plans have not yet been announced but are to begin later this year. At these hearings, Hydro plans to present for discussion, a range of possible long term power growth rates ranging between four and 10 percent per annum. While the Nanticoke to Pickering- transmission corridorcorridor was extensively studied by Bruce Howlett . Incorporated, an independent organization whose findings were reviewed by the Solandt Commission; this was not the ease - vithn the $ra LeA to �... Georgetown transmission route. The decision of the Provincial Government to expand facilities at the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant, to provide hydro- electric power to the Toronto area will incur capital costs of many millions of dollars, and will necessitate numerous heavier transmission lines across the prime agricultural and scenic areas of South Western Ontario. The en- vironmental report for the Bradley to Georgetown route was released by Ontario Hydro last January. On this case, however, Ontario Hydro has been permitted to do their own study without the benefit of an independent group and without independent public hearings. "While the "Northern" security route from the Brice Station to Milton has been approved, the approval of the second or "Southern" 500 KV corridor to carry power from the Bruce Station to Kitchener is being withheld pending review of Hydro's long-range plans. We in the Liberal Party .are greatly concerned and have raised serious objections to the, fact that Ontario Hydro has By jock 11 jddlkli, Huron M1' j' done their study in the absence of independent consultants or public hearings. Any route selected by Hydro will greatly alter the lives of the people affected. Yet the manner in which this route was chosen is unresponsive to the needs of the people. Throughout the Bradley to Georgetown route hearings conducted by Ontario Hydro, the view continually ,expressed by them was Iliat. the tri, emission lines.were being built,. to service the local area and provide power specifically to the Kitchener area Ywhlch is the closest major ;load centre, Hydro has further stated that by 1585, 2,800 megawatts of power would be required in the Kitchener area from the Bruce Generatilg station and 5,600 megawatts by 1995. However, the present projected "nor- thern", Bruce line make no effort to approach the closest load. centre. Kitchener is left visith at new supply and the other routes jare Misplaced as a rest*, The first logical thing to do,, ' therefore would be to complete the power line to Kitchener and then to Toronto. The route should be studied by an in- dependent group and through public hearings. After this first priority , decision has been made, the long range planning can be decided through public hearings. Hydro's long range plans have, not been publicly discus$ed, but their arguments at the 'Solandt Commistion hearings point to approval of a baclzground program to establish. generating stations around the Western perimeter of the Province, It seems that Hydro has made their long range plans, held superficial hearings, merely going through the motions of public par- ticipation and then simply proceeded to do what it had intended to do from the outset. Obviously Hydro has assumed that their long range plans are going to be approved. The Bradley to Georgetown "northern" route is . inap- propriate and illogical alince the. primary market for the Bruce power should be the Kitchener, Waterloo area. Further, Ontario Hydro has not substantiated their con- tention that the route recom- mended for the Niagara Escarpment crossing by the neutral and highly expert environmental consultants of Bruce Howlett is unacceptable. Nonetheless. the $, o'1andI r Cornmlission.chosa tO ignore the route which recommended that the Escarpment bo'crossed at' Rattlesnake Point,, permitting the Kitchener -Waterloo line to be routed via the 401 crossing. This would eliminate the crossing of the Limehouse area. south of Georgetown as 13 nO N the case. A security line could then run from the Bruce station to Essa and down the already existing Essa-Kleinberg (continued on page 3*) Come to Where the Vaines Are ...
