"CARRIED" Delegations John Vel dhui s Mr. John Veldhuis addressed Council relative to Port Granby Nuclear Dump. He indicated a sense of urgency for Council to appoint a monitoring committee. He stated that the matter had been approved in principle, 6 years ago. Four years ago S.E.A.P. had notified the Atomic Energy Control Board of conditions at the site, and had brought the same to Council's attention 1~ years ago. Again in the fall of 1981, he had advised Council of further dumping at the site, and there are at the present time, several truckloads of radioactive material being used as ground cover. It has recently come to his attention that in September 1981, there had been another unusual accurrance of leakage into Lake Ontario, higher than the standards allowed by the Ontario Government. The site is slated to be cleaned up by 1985, and he felt a monitoring committee composed of 1-3 members of Council, 3 members of S.E.A.P., should be set up immediately, with power to add others to the committee as required. .
