Hydro Route Sheelagh Lawrence, Consumer Relations, Ontario Hydro, appeared before council to explain that as a result of the invalidation of the previous Ontario Hydro corridor route hearings by the Ontario Supreme Court, Hydro would be looking at a modified tower corridor route, involving studies of a route along Highway 401 as well as a route from . the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station to a transformer station in the London area, southerly along a corridor more or less paralleling the Lake Huron shoreline. She was questioned about the impact of such transmission tower corridors on Class 1 agriculture land, the use of abandoned railway right-of-ways, and submarine transmission cables in Lake Huron. Lawrence replied that while some of these approaches would probably be cost pro- hibitive, and some not feasible for technical reasons, nevertheless, all reasonable alter- natives to provide the least environmental and agricultural land use impact would be studied. She explained Hydro's method of GODERICH SIGNAL/STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1984—PAGE 13A Huron Federation of Agriculture to host public meeting on Hydro routes After four years, months of study, seven After the court decision, Hydro decided to public meeting on December 6 at the Hullett weeks of hearings and a court case, Ontario study and develop routes and tower loca- Central School in Londesboro at 8:30 p.m. Hydro is back where it started, trying to tions for one or two lines, from Bruce to Lon- There will be a panel discussion with Ken figure out how to transmit more power out don.
