Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer A. S. Cannella, C.E.T. Director of Engineering Services JAS"DJC"sn November 7, 2008 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 2 1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines and the Draft Joint Review Panel Agreement for the Darlington 'B' New Nuclear Power Plant Project, and to provide the Municipality's comments on these two documents. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The Darlington 'B' New Nuclear Power Plant project (the Project) will involve the construction and operation of up to four new nuclear reactors and associated facilities at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The new reactors will be built on the eastern portion of the site. A decision on the preferred vendor for the new reactors is expected by the end of April 2009. The construction of the first two reactors will require 6 to 8 years, with a preliminary target in-service date of 2018. The construction of the two additional reactors, if required, could be completed by 2025. 2.2 Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is required to undertake an Environmental Assessment (EA) and prepare an EIS pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act for the Project. OPG has also submitted an application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for the approval of a Licence to Prepare Site under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA). In March 2008, the federal Minister of the Environment referred the EA and the License application to a Joint Review Panel 2.3 On September 5, 2008, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and the CNSC released two documents related to the Project for public comment — the Draft EIS Guidelines and the Draft Joint Review Panel Agreement. The deadline for the submission of comments on these two documents is November 19, 2008. 2.4 It is important to note that the Draft EIS Guidelines and the Draft Review Panel Agreement for the Darlington B project are based on the final Guidelines and Agreement for the Bruce Power new nuclear build project in Kincardine Ontario. The Bruce documents underwent a public review and comment period in Spring 2008, with the final versions being released in August 2008. As such, the Draft EIS Guidelines for the Darlington 'B" project already include a number of substantive revisions resulting from the earlier review of the Bruce Power Project Guidelines (Attachment 2). No significant changes were made to the Review Panel Agreement. 3.0 DRAFT DARLINGTON 'B' EIS GUIDELINES 3.1 Overview 3.1.1 The Guidelines provide a framework to guide the preparation and presentation of the EIS, and outline the nature, scope and extent of the information that must be addressed. These information requirements, although quite detailed, are considered to be the minimum necessary for a complete EIS. It is the responsibility of OPG to ensure that the EIS provides sufficient data and analysis on any potential environmental effects to permit proper evaluation by all stakeholders. As such, the REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 3 Guidelines also provide OPG with flexibility in determining the study approaches and methodologies needed to fulfil the requirements of the Guidelines. The Table of Contents for the Draft Guidelines forms Attachment 3 to this report. 3.1.2 The EIS Guidelines were based on the Project Description prepared by OPG and accepted by the CNSC. This Project Description provides a "bounding case" to reflect the fact that many of the specific details of the Project have yet to be determined, including reactor technology and the exact location and orientation of the reactors on- site. Therefore the EIS is required to be sufficiently broad to address all potential impacts within the parameters set out by the Project Description. 3.1.3 The EIS as a whole must reflect a number of Guiding Principles which are set out in Section 2 of the draft Guidelines. These Guiding Principles include: • Environmental Assessment as a Planning Toot The Environmental Assessment process should ensure that projects are considered in a careful and precautionary manner in order to avoid or mitigate the possible adverse effects of development on the environment, and encourage decision makers to take actions that promote sustainable development and thereby achieve or maintain a healthy environment and a healthy economy. • Sustainable Development Sustainable development seeks to meet the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. A project that is supportive of sustainable development must strive to integrate the objective of net ecological, economic and social benefits to society in the planning and decision-making process and must incorporate citizen participation. • Precautionary Approach One of the purposes of environmental assessment is to ensure that projects are considered in a careful and precautionary manner so that such projects do not cause significant adverse environmental effects. The Precautionary Principle informs the decision-maker to take a cautionary approach, or to err on the side of caution, especially when there is a large degree of uncertainty or high risk. 3.1.4 The Guidelines require the EIS to describe the Project, including: • setting and purpose of the Project (Section 5); • the Public Participation process and how it influenced the Project (Section 6); • Project Justification, including purpose and need for the Project, and "alternatives to" and "alternative means" (Section 7); • all phases of the Project, from site preparation, construction, operation, refurbishment (if required), and decommissioning to abandonment (Sections 8); • proposals for the on-site management of waste and used fuel (Section 8); • potential malfunctions, accidents and malevolent acts (Sections 8 and 12); and • the spatial and temporal boundaries of the Project's effects (Section 9). REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 4 3:1.5 The EIS is also required to describe the existing bio-physical and socio-economic environment that is expected to be affected by the Project (Sections 9.3 and 10). One of the key tools for this task is the identification of Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs). A VEC is a feature or attribute of the natural or social/economic environment that is considered to be important and therefore merits special attention in the EIS. The preliminary list of VECs identified in the draft EIS Guidelines are shown on Attachment 4 and discussed in greater detail in Section 3.2 of this report. 3.1.6 A description of any changes (positive and negative) to the environment caused by the Project is required, including both short and long term effects (Section 11). General and specific measures intended to mitigate the potentially adverse environmental effects of the Project must also be described. The significance of any residual effects persisting after the application of these mitigative measures is to be assessed according to the following categories: • magnitude of the effect • geographic extent of the effect • timing, duration and frequency of the effect • degree to which effects are reversible or can be mitigated • ecological and social/cultural context • probability of occurrence 3.1.7 The Guidelines further require the EIS to identify and assess the cumulative adverse and beneficial environmental effects of the Project in combination with other past, present or reasonably foreseeable projects and/or activities within the study areas (Section 13). An analysis of the total cumulative effect on a VEC over the life of the Project is required. This analysis must include different forms of effects (eg. synergistic, additive, induced, spatial, temporal), and identify impact pathways and trends. 3.1.8 The EIS must also include a framework upon which effects monitoring and follow-up actions will be based throughout the life of the Project. The follow-up program must be designed to verify the accuracy of the environmental assessment and to determine the effectiveness of the measures implemented to mitigate the adverse environmental effects of the Project. Any contingency procedures/plans or other adaptive management provisions to address unforeseen effects or for correcting exceedences must also be described. 3.2 Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs) 3.2.1 VECs may be determined on the basis of cultural values or scientific concern, and are generally categorized as Biological, Physical, or Human/Socio-Economic. The VECs list provided in the draft EIS Guidelines defines 20 different Environmental Components (eg. Aquatic Habitat, Mammals, Population and Economic Base), with the VECs being identified as sub-components within each. For example, six VECs have been identified for Population and Economic Base - population and demographics, income, employment, business activity, commercially-zoned properties and/or businesses, and taxes. A total of 110 individual VECS have been identified in the draft EIS Guidelines. REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 5 3.2.2 The list provided in the Draft EIS Guidelines is considered to be preliminary and OPG is expected to modify the list in the EIS following consultation with the public, Aboriginal people, federal and provincial government departments and relevant stakeholders. The EIS is required to describe the general criteria used by OPG to identify VECs that may be affected by the Project, identify the methods used to predict and assess the effects of the Project on the VECs, and explain the criteria used to assign significance ratings to any predicted adverse effects on a VEC. 3.2.3 OPG has advised that their list of VECs has been significantly expanded as the result of discussions with various agencies and the public. It is also expected that the VECs list will continue to evolve as the various component studies of the EA are undertaken and completed, and as the result of the Municipality's peer review of the draft EIS. As such, it is not necessary for the VECs list in the EIS Guidelines to identify all possible components of the biological, physical and human/socio-economic environments that may be affected by toe Project. 3.2.4 Nevertheless, it is important for the Municipality to provide comments on the VECs list in the draft Guidelines to ensure that potential impacts are satisfactorily addressed in the EIS and to make OPG and the federal regulators aware of the Municipality's concerns. 3.3 Comments on Draft EIS Guidelines 3.3.1 It is recommended that the VECs list be modified as follows: Atmospheric Environment • Add "Light levels" as a VEC. The activities related to site preparation, construction and operation may increase light pollution in the area, which may negatively affect both residents and biological processes. • Add "Air- radiation" as a VEC. Radiation and Radioactivity is identified as a factor with respect to human health in the VECs table. However, the impact of radiological releases on the natural environment, including aquatic biota, mammals and birds, does not appear to have been specifically identified in the VECs table. Vegetation and Habitat • Add "Connectivity within the natural heritage system" as a VEC. Enhancing the ability of terrestrial biota to move freely enhances genetic diversity and is important to the integrity of wild populations. Population and Economic Base • Add "Demand for skilled labour" as a VEC. The number of other large construction projects proceeding at the same time in the area (e.g. Highway 407 extension, Regional EFW facility, Port Hope and Port Granby Projects) may increase the demand for skilled construction labour. REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 6 • Add "Demand for aggregate" as a VEC. The number of large construction projects in the area may result in increased activity in local aggregate extraction sites, or increased pressure for the approval of new aggregate extraction sites. Economic Development • Add "Potential for stigma" as a VEC This is identified as a VEC under Tourism. However, the potential for the new nuclear project to affect Clarington's ability to attract new businesses should also be explored. Community Seniices • Add "Public access to and use of the waterfront" as a VEC The western portion of the Lake Ontario waterfront is already occupied by several large industrial uses. The construction of the new reactors at the Darlington site will further limit public access to and use of this stretch of the waterfront well into the next century. Municipal Finance and Administration • Add "Nuclear emergency infrastructure, equipment, plans and procedures" as a VEC. The addition of up to four new reactors at the Darlington site may result in the Municipality of Clarington and the Region of Durham incurring.additional costs to provide an appropriate level of response in the event of an emergency at the generating station. Human Health & Radiation & Radioactivity Add "Users of future waterfront parks" as a VEC The Clarington Official Plan has designated a District Park on the Lake Ontario waterfront to the west of the Darlington Nuclear site. 4.0 DRAFT JOINT PANEL REVIEW AGREEMENT 4.1 Overview 4.1.1 The draft Agreement notes that a review of the Project by a Joint Review Panel will provide for an effective and efficient environmental assessment and regulatory process. The purpose of the review will be to determine whether the Project will pose an unreasonable risk to the health and safety of persons, the environment and national security. 4.1.2 The Review Panel will consist of three members appointed by the President of the CNSC in consultation with the Ministers of the Environment and Natural Resources. The Panel members are to be unbiased and free of any conflict of interest in relation to the Project and are to have knowledge or experience relevant to the anticipated environmental effects of the Project. REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 7 4.1.3 A Secretariat will be formed to provide professional, scientific, technical and administrative support to the Panel during the review. The Secretariat will also be responsible for ensuring public access to information during the course of the review. 4.1.4 Once OPG has submitted the completed EIS to the Joint Review Panel, the Panel will have up to 2 weeks to announce the commencement of the EIS public review and comment period, and to issue instructions and a timetable for the review that will include opportunities for public comment. 4.1.5 A maximum of 6 months is to be provided for the review and analysis of the EIS. The Panel has a one month period to consider the comments received on the sufficiency of the EIS before proceeding to the Hearing phase. This seven month period will be in addition to any time riequired by OPG to respond to information requests from the Panel. 4.1.6 The Panel will schedule and announce the start of the Hearings once it is satisfied that the EIS and any additional information has adequately responded to the EIS Guidelines. The Hearings are to be held in the Municipality of Durham and elsewhere as it is deemed appropriate. 4.1.7 The Panel's report is to be provided to the Minister of the Environment within 90 days following the close of the hearings. This report will also be made available to the public. The Minister, as well as the Responsible Authorities for the Project (Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Canadian Transportation Agency, and Transport Canada), will review the report and determine whether the Project can proceed. 4.2 Comments on Draft ,point Review Panel Agreement 4.2.1 In the definition of "Project", the location of the Darlington Nuclear Site is indicated as the "Municipality of Durham". This should be changed to the "Municipality of Clarington". 4.2.2 The "Terms of Reference for the Review" (Appendix, Part II, Item 11), indicate that the Joint Review Panel shall hold the Hearings within the Municipality of Durham and elsewhere as it deems appropriate. This should be changed to indicate that the hearings will be held within the Municipality of Clarington and elsewhere as it deems appropriate. 5.0 CONCLUSIONS 5.1 The Draft EIS Guidelines and the Draft Joint Review Panel Agreement for the Darlington new nuclear build project appear to be sufficiently comprehensive to provide for an effective assessment of the impacts of the Project. It is also important to reiterate that the Guidelines, although quite detailed, are considered to be the minimum necessary for a complete EIS. The Municipality's peer review of the EIS will ensure that the interests of Clarington are properly addressed. REPORT NO.: PSD-123-08 PAGE 8 5.2 The Municipality has issued a proposal call for the peer review consultant which closed on October 22, 2008. The consultant proposals are being evaluated, interviews scheduled and a subsequent report from Corporate Services will recommend the retention of the peer review consultant.
