REPORT NO.: PSD-120-06 PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.1 In 2001, the Municipality of Clarington and the Municipality of Port Hope entered into a
Legal Agreement with the Government of Canada for the safe, long term management of
low level radioactive waste located in each community. The Port Granby Project, as part
of the larger Port Hope Area Initiative, addresses the wastes currently stored at the
existing Port Granby Waste Management Facility located southeast of Newtonville.
1.2 Phase 1 of the Port Granby Project, which involves the undertaking of the Environmental
Assessment for the Project, began in 2002. Phase 2 will commence with the issuance of
a construction licence for a new waste management facility by the Canadian Nuclear
Safety Commission. This is expected to occur sometime in 2008.
1.3 The Legal Agreement provides for the federal government to reimburse the Municipality
for its costs related to the Port Granby Project, including costs related to retaining peer
review consultants. In April 2002, Council passed a by-law to retain Hardy Stevenson &
Associates to provide peer review consulting services for the Port Granby Project. In
December 2002, Council approved the extension of the contract with Hardy Stevenson &
Associates for a further four years to the end of 2006.
1.4 The peer review services provided by Hardy Stevenson & Associates over the past five
years has been critical to the Municipality's effective participation in the Port Granby
Project. These services have included the review of numerous technical documents
related to such matters as radioactive materials, human health and safety, and facility
design, as well as advice related to the mitigation of impacts on area residents. Given
that Phase 1 of the Port Granby Project is expected to continue for up to an additional
two years, it is appropriate to extend the Municipality's contract with Hardy Stevenson &
Associates to the end of 2008.
1.5 Phase 2 of the Port Granby Project will involve the work related to the excavation of the
waste and the construction of the new waste management facility. As such, Staff will
review the Municipality's requirements for consulting services for this Phase and will
report back to Council at a later date.
