The Goderich Signal-Star, 1977-10-27, Page 38PAGE 18A— GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1977 Private involvement possible if project feasible Construction could begin in 1978 These two spectators at the Jubilee Three plaque un- veiling at the town hall Friday don't seem impressed with the ceremony. Premier William Davis was in town to unveil the special plaque and the youngster at the top enjoyed the ceremony from a vantage point in a window above the front steps of the town hall while the woman opened her office window next door to town hall taking advantage of the warm weather and the historic occasion to end her work week.

The Kincardine project is a study to deter- mine the conditions under which suitable greenhouse heating and fish rearing facilities could be developed by using reject heat from Bruce Nuclear Power Development. Should the study suggest that the project is feasible, it is hoped that the private sector will participate in the design, construction, ownership, financing and operating of the facilities. If this involvement is forth - corning, then construction could begin sometime next year. Taylor, who recently returned from a study tour of European developments in energy, was very impressed with the way some European countries take full advantage of reject heat created by the electric power generating process. Taylor said he would like to see maximum use made of this energy potential in Ontario where it is economic. The Steering Committee was established by the t d. Ontario Government earlier this year to consider the potential uses of rejected heat from the Bruce Nuclear Power Development. The Steering Committee reports that a study, which is being undertaken by con- sultants Conestoga -Rovers and Associates, of Waterloo, in conjunction with Ontario Hydro, is progressing well and is expected to be sub- mitted to the steering com- mittee in November. Important aspects of the Kincardine study are to examine the economic and technical feasibility and to assess the commercial potential in order to promote interest by the private sector in developing the necessary facilities. Once the study is com- pleted, it will be examined by the steering committee to determine what further action is appropriate. The steering committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Minister of Energy, has broad representation from other provincial ministries, Ontario Hydro and from the communities where the development could, take place. Warden Andrew Cormack - of Bruce County, Reeve Alvin Thompson of the Township of Kincardine and Councillor Brian Grant of the Town of Kincardine, are local members of the Committee. Other members represent the Ministries of Natural Resources, Agriculture and Food, and the Resources Secretariat as well as the Ministry of Energy and Ontario Hydro. LAUNCHED LAST MAY The Kincadine project, which was first launched by the Government last May at the suggestion and with the support of the local com- munities involved, has already sparked wide interest across the province. Similar projects are being suggested and actively considered by local officials from communities adjacent to Ontario Hydro's scheduled Darlington and Atikokan generating stations. The Darlington Generating Station is in the first stages of construction near Bowmanville on Lake Ontario, and work is to begin early next year on the Atikokan Generating Station at Marmion Lake about 120 miles west of Thunder Bay. Although Atikokan is fueled --by coal and not a nuclear - fired power plant, it would be possible to develop a similar heat conversion process. Basically, the project at Bruce involves using warm water from the moderator cooling water system of the nuclear reactors which otherwise -would be rejected into the lake, and using it to heat greenhouses and aquaculture facilities. In this way, oil could be conserved and, at the same time, food production increastk and Turn to page 19A • SAVE INN*and Insulateon U.F F INSULATION 8 Fiber Insulelg Serving Hur 15 Yen °"I►'.3' iel COMPARE cONT� n STEWART'` ALUMINIUM ds a 207 Huron Rd, s�+-�astGod1� PU LIC SKATING Goderich Memorial Arena FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14..- 7 to 9 p.m. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21 - 8 to 10p,m SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23- 4:30 to 6:30p ,m, (SUNDAY IS FOR THE SEASON) Admission - $1.00 per person Skate` Sharpening - 75` per pdiir GODERICH RECREATION AND COMMUNITY CENTRE BOARD • • • The Canadian Home insulation Program may pay you up t&350.
