Ener.gy survey to be conducted
Ontario Hydro staff will
begin energy surveys of
homes in rural parts of the
province starting August 31.
The free survey is part of
the Residential Energy Ad-
visory Program (.REAP),
announced by Ontario's
Minister of Energy in June.
The program offers a
home energy survey and
loans of up to $2,000 to ran-
prove energy efficiency and -
or convert an oil -heating
system to electricity if there
is at least a 50 percent reduc-
tion in oil consumption.
Many municipal utilities
are expected to be ready to
introduce the program in
late 1981 - early 1982 after
staff training.
Ontario Hydro will make
arrangements to assist
smaller utilities to under-
take the survey.
While REAP will initially
be available to Hydro's
direct rural customers cur-
rently on oil -heating
systems, customers with
other types of heating
systems can participate.
Here's how the program
will work:.
Customers will receive a
letter from Ontario Hydro
outlining the program and
inviting the homeowner to
make an appointment if an
energy survey is desired.
The survey will be carried
opt by trained staff who will
provide a list of recommen-

dations on how the
homeowner can increase the
energy efficiency of the
house.
The survey will be wide-
ranging, covering
everything from insulation,
weatherstripping, energy
use, and fuel costs, to
heating system alternatives
and upgrading of wiring. In-
formation will also be made
available on the Canadian
Oil Substitution Program
(COSP) and the Canada
Home Insulation. Program
(CHIP).
Loans will be available to
a maximum of $2;000
repayable over five years, at
an interest rate based on On-
tario Hydro's cost of borrow-
ing; currently in the range of
a- 17 nPrcent. All COSP
and CHIP grants, however,
must first be exhausted and
the homeowner must pay the
first $200 towards the cost of
improvements before the
Hydro loan applies. The
energy advisers will explain
how to qualify and apply for
the various grants and the
Hydro loan. Maximum
payback period is five years
with a minimum monthly
payment of $20.
•
While the Federal COSP
program covers any work
• done since last October, any
work qualifying zfor a Hydro
loan must be done after the
energy survey is performed,
The Residential Energy
Advisory Program is
scheduled to run for 10
years.

MacLaren Engineering. the
firm which conducted the
Erosion Control Study of the
Nine Mile River below the
fishway. He gave an interim
report which included visual
slides. that identified nine
problem areas along the
shoreline from the fish lad-
der to the mouth of the river.
It was recognized that in-
dividual property owners
have taken good remedial
measures. to control erosion
which, is occurring. at -the
rate of. approximately one-
. half foot per year. The study
estimated. that it could take
an expenditure of $150,000 tc
effectively deal with the ero-
sion problem which affects
the combination of
municipal, crown, and
private °land.
The annual problem of
silting at the mouth of the
river was discussed, and it
was pointed out that this
area is Crown Land: When
the final report is ready for
submission in about one
month's time, it was in-
timated four immediate
areas will be recommended
for attention. The report will
also suggest that upstream
monitoring • of the erosion
could be a student program.
Members of the
Ratepayers Association
would.like to see immediate

outlined the proper steps to
be taken to achieve action on
the part of the authorities.
