Hydro • Ontario Hydro has decided;. to go to .the people over their pro- posed ropn►sed transmission power route to be built from the Ikiruce Generating Station at Douglas Point to service the Kitchener - Georgetown area. G. E. Gathercole, chairman. of Ontario, Hydro, told a meeting of the Students' Law Society En- vironmental Conference at the University of Toronto recently that eftizeli. participation of Aids type has become "increasingly a' part of environmental planning and protection." 'He said that. although the de- tails of these public meetings are still being developed, the basic function is to meet with citizens,. town councils, planning boards, conservation authorities, and government departments to ad- vise them of the choices available and to get their communities' views on the proposed project. Ont;dirio Hydro also plans, said Mr. Gathercole, to set up citizen advisory boards in the counties and townships along the proposed transmission line route to Meet a Sera prides of lura, dwitakbaboons,osidch.

The clean -car program has been in effect since shipments of soil into Canada were banned in the early 1960's. So far, the sue- cess of the program hp relied on shipping personnel, who Pass the information on to the passengers. A declaration or certificate must be made out to accompany shipping papers to Canada in, dicating regulations have been • met. Since last year, a description.of the program has been includedin the shipping papers given to each passenger to be sure he under- stands the importance of tlte;, regulation. Soil adhering to cars and other vehicles is capable Of carrying organisms which could be destructive to Canadian. crops," Mr. Gray said. "These, pests, which are not native to Canada but which could become established here and doeconomic harm, could be lurking on a dirty car, or on farm machinery which still has soil on it," he added. The regulations do not apply to factory -new cars, or to new ve- hicles purchased from a dealer and delivered to the ship. can c ch are .mace at t ,�,�� J. ,,yon St. Johns , and ' .

He added that as some forms of citizen participation are not .good, they are when they meet certain conditions. One of these conditions is that the group must be representative of all levels of interest so as not to be thwarted by a small but vocal group who often detract from the interests of the silent majority. He cited the -remarks of Dr. Omond Solandt at a public in- quiry held over the proposed bulk transmission route between Nanticoke and Pickering. Dr. Solandt said of the unbalanced representation at that meeting, "In future hearings of this 'kind, some effective way must be found to achieve a more repre- sentative cross-section of popular interest." Such citizen groups, continued Mr. Gathercole, must also be wide enough . to give "due con- sideration" to the natural, as well as social and economic environ- ment. This is necessary, he said, because "in particular instances a choice may have to be made be- tween livelihoods and some impairment of the environ- ment." He also said that to be really ef- Ontario Hydro wants opinions Ontario Hydro is seeking the people's views on their proposed transmission line routes from Douglas Point to Kitchener - Georgetown. To reach this • end they will be holding a series of open meetings in each of the areas affected by the proposed route. Meetings have already been held at Hillsburg, Dundalk, Fergus, Teeswater, 'at llowick Central School on Highway 87, north of Fordwich and at Nor- manby Central School, Ayton. Further meetings have been , announced for Durham, March 29; Arthur on April 2; Listowel on April 3; Drayton on April 4 and Elmira on April 6.

Mr. ,Gathercole stressed, how- ever, that not all cltizen par- ticipation was good. He warned that ' if they are too narrowly based or carried to extremes they can be "self-defeating and costly to society.", "Delays in reaching decisions can create problems rather than solve 'them,. The alternative may be environmentally more degrading than the project pro - He' cited the proposed Storm King Mountain generating sta- tion project which was to have begun in 1968 to provide power for New York City. When the project was announced in 1962, the esti- mated cost was set at $165 -mil- lion. Now, more than 10 years later, the project has still not begun and had' risen to an esti- mated cost of54100-million. The postponement of the start- ing date, caused by the objections of environmentalii tss through court action, has necessitated the building of a combination turbine station . which Is not only pro- ducing higher cost electricity but also piloting the atmosphere and, J1)111111, creating an "even greater environmental problem" then the original project. speaking. ° again of Ontario 11yydro's plan, Mr. Gathercole said, "We are doing our beat to reduce and eliminate the unde- sirable t environmental ' tilde- effectsof our operations and to give the citizens • concerned a voice In the decisions made."
