TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
SOUTH HURON — Council has

Crediton/Centralia sewer project.
The decision was made at coun-
cil's Aug. 8 meeting to authorize
consultant KMK Engineering to
proceed to tender Sept. 9 and close
tenders Oct. 3. Tenders will then be
reviewed and brought to council for
discussion Oct. 16, with a planned
construction start of spring 2007
and completion by the end of
December 2007.
In the meantime, the municipality
continues to hope it is approved for

Fund (COMRIF). Failing that, the
municipality has pledged to exhaust
all other grant possibilities and
Coun. Ken Oke planned to meet
with Minister of Agriculture, Food
and Rural Affairs Leona

GreenField putting up $6 million for pipeline
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
VARNA — GreenField Ethanol (formerly Commercial
Alcohols Inc). will contribute $6 million to the Hensall
pipeline project. GreenField vice-president for corpo-
rate affairs Bliss Baker announced the news at
Bluewater council's Aug. 8 meeting.
According to Baker, there are few conditions on the
funding that clerk -administrator Janisse Zimmerman
said details have not been finalized on yet.
"It's the beginning of a long-term relationship with the
Hensall District Co-op," said Baker who added the com-
pany engineers would like to meet with B.M. Ross engi-
neers as soon as possible to look at the specifications of
the pipeline project.
He added GreenField would like to negotiate an indus-
trial water rate of around 28 cents per cubic metre and
the company needs to know the timeline for construc-
tion of the pipeline.
In response, Coun. Jim Fergusson, who sits on the
board of the Lake Huron Primary Water Supply System
(LHPWSS) said regional manager Andrew Henry says
Request for Proposals (RFP) will be out in two weeks
with responses back by the end of September Fergusson
added firm figures will be known then with construction
starting in the spring.
Baker said January 2008 "will be plenty of time" and
Coun. Rod Parker added the residents of the town are
happy and excited with the pipeline going ahead.
Baker said Greenfield, when deciding what amount to
put into the pipeline, "weighed the financial costs
against intangibles such as a community that wants us.
The non-financial won for us."
Asked why GreenField changed its name from
Commercial Alcohols Inc. Baker said the company start-
ed as an industrial alcohol company but fuel alcohol is
now more important. "We're rebranding," said Baker.
Coun. Marg Deichert asked if specifications for run-
ning a line into Zurich from the main line can be includ-
ed in the RFP. Utilities manager Bill Stauttner said it is
already in the works.
