THAT, Report TR-14-98 be received for information; 2. THAT in accordance with the provisions of the Tri-Partite agreement between the Region of Durham, Ontario Hydro and the Municipality of Clarington for the disposition of the Darlington Generating Station "A" Reserve Fund, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington hereby authorizes that funds of approximately $269,257.29 be paid to the Region of Durham for reimbursement of costs expended for the site decommissioning and demolition of the Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plan pursuant to Report PD-80-94; 3. THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute any document necessary to access the Station Account 'A' Reserve Fund for the decommissioning and demolition; 4. THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the Region of Durham. BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: 1. As part of the Tri-Partite Agreement between the Municipality of Clarington, the Regional Municipality of Durham and Ontario Hydro, for disposition of the Darlington Nuclear Station Account' A', a reserve fund was set up in the name of the Municipality of Clarington and is maintained by the Municipality. The agreement specifies monies may be disbursed from this reserve fund for the purpose of site rehabilitation of the Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plant upon mutual agreement of the Council of the 818 / REPORT TR-14-98 PAGE 2 Municipality of Clarington and the Council of the Region of Durham. 2. At the Council Meeting of July 11, 1994, Report PD-80-94 (Attachment #1) was approved whereby the Region was requesting Clarington Council's authorization to access this reserve fund for demolition of the Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plant and decommissioning of the site before it was turned over to the Municipality. The estimated cost at that time was $160,000.00. The actual cost invoiced to the Municipality in December 1997 was $269,257.29. In early 1995, the low bid was approximately $210,000.00. Municipal staff were contacted early in 1995 when the tender for the work closed. Total costs were then revised to include tendering costs, site supervision, any required environmental audits to result in an expected total cost in the order of $250,000.00 to $275,000.00. Therefore, the final actual cost is in line with what was anticipated in early 1995. The Region invoice was paid in December 1997 in order to settle their 1997 year end accounts. In Report PD-80-94 Council authorized access to the Reserve Fund for the project. However, due to the difference between the original estimated cost and the final cost it is requested that council confirm authorization of the payment made of $269,257.29 to the Region from the Clarington/Region "Station A" Reserve Fund.

The Region's land acquisition will facilitate future expansion of the Bowrnanville Water Supply Plant or the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant. 2.3 The value of the lands in question have been estimated at equal value by both Regional and Municipal staff and the land swap is considered fair and equity to both parties. 2.4 Prior to the execution of documents for the land exchange, the Municipality requires the following: a) decommissioning, demolition and rehabilitation of the Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plan site; and b) rempval of all equipments and provision of a level concrete floor within the Low Lift Pumping Station.

The cost of the above works is estimated to be $15,000. which is being borne by the Region independent of the Hydro Reserve Fund. 5. At the time of writing of this Report, Regional staff advised that they will be presenting a report to the Region's Works committee recommending the land swap as well as seeking authorization from Regional council for access to the Hydro Reserve Account to carry out the demolition and clean up. 6.
