Harriet Philips, Ph.D, SENES Consultants Limited, addressed Council to present the
findings of the Peer Review of the Site Specific Human Health and Ecological Risk
Assessment for the proposed Energy-From-Waste Facility for the Clarington 01 Site.
Dr. Philips stated SENES Consultants Limited, was commissioned by the Municipality
of Clarington to provide a peer review of the Site Specific Human Health and
Ecological Risk Assessment performed by the Region of Durham's consultants
Jacques Whitford. Dr. Philips provided background information on the purpose of the
peer review which is to render an opinion as to whether the risk assessment has been
carried out in accordance with generally accepted principles and to comment on
whether the conclusions reached are appropriate and defensible. Dr. Philips reviewed
the methodology for conducting the peer review indicating the review was conducted
in accordance with Health Canada Guidance and the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment "Reviewer's Checklist for Risk Assessment". Through use of a
PowerPoint presentation, Dr. Philips provided an overview of the elements and key
requirements of a peer review which must demonstrate that sufficient information has
been assembled for the facility to provide a confident assessment of the impacts and
to describe each exposure pathway; that the right receptors have been selected and
assigned appropriate characteristics and that the receptors are exposed to
appropriate concentrations of chemicals of concern; that the potential health effects
posed by each chemical of concern is understood and appropriate toxicity reference
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - June 15, 2009
values are used to assess the likelihood of adverse health effects; and, that the
likelihood of adverse health effects posed by each chemical of concern has been
estimated and the estimates are interpreted in meaningful ways. Dr. Philips stated the
scope of the Site Specific Risk Assessment Review was based on the 140,000 tonne
scenario and on the assumption that the concentrations from the Air Quality
Assessment are valid. She stated the peer review of the air quality assessment
indicates that the modelling appears to have been done appropriately following
regulatory guidelines and the emission rates and factors appear to be appropriate. Dr.
Philips advised that they have requested the consultants to further review the
apparent meteorological mismatch that may cause an inaccurate representation of
long-term exposure. She stated that a peer review meeting with all reviewers was
held on June 5, 2009 noting some of the comments received by reviewers for the
Region and the Medical Officer of Health have been incorporated but that other
comments still need to be addressed. In conclusion, Dr. Philips stated the Jacques
Whitford Risk Assessment is comprehensive, conforms to risk assessment guidance,
that the conservative approach taken would result in an overestimate of exposure and
risk and while SENES has provided comments, the comments would not change the
conclusions of the risk assessment.
Dr. Philips confirmed that she has no affiliation or interest specific to the Energy-from
Waste project, that she is a Qualified Person -Risk Assessment under O.Reg 153/04
and she has conducted a number of risk assessments on behalf of the Ministry of the
Environment.
In response to a question, Dr. Philips stated that based on what is provided within the
risk assessment and methodology, the risk assessment indicates that there will be no
adverse effects on humans or ecology and confirmed that the facility would be safe to
operate.
Dr. Christopher Ollson and Jim McKay, Jacques Whitford, addressed Council
regarding the findings of the Site Specific Human Health and Ecological Risk
Assessment for the proposed Energy-From-Waste Facility for the Clarington 01 site,
updated June 12, 2009. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Dr. Ollson
provided a comparison between a site specific versus generic risk assessment.
Dr. Ollson confirmed that in undertaking the generic risk assessment, the location and
specific technology was not known. Dr. Ollsen provided an overview of the risk
assessment framework including an understanding of the chemical baseline, how the
chemicals come into contact with people and the environment, to what amount these
chemicals are linked to environmental effects on human or ecological health, to what
degree people and ecological receptors are exposed to these chemicals and when
predicted exposure levels are compared to exposure limits is an increased risk
predicted and if so, how to reduce identified risks. Dr. Ollsen outlined the risk
assessment methodology, including the collection of baseline data from various
locations within the Local Assessment Area, the selection of receptor locations based
on public input, landuse, location, etc., and the compilation of a comprehensive list of
chemicals of potential concern that may be emitted from the facility. Dr. Ollsen
reviewed baseline, construction, operational and decommissioning scenarios.
Council Meeting Minutes - 6 - June 15, 2009
He stated risks to human receptors were evaluated by inhalation assessment at 309
receptor locations and multi-pathway assessment at 132 receptor locations. The
results indicate that no acute or chronic risk estimates at the maximum ground level
concentration exceeded the regulatory benchmark for all Project Scenarios. The
results of the multi-pathway assessment indicate that exposure to facility-related air
emissions will result in no adverse health effects to human receptors living or visiting
the area. He noted the only exeedences of regulatory benchmarks were from existing
conditions in the Baseline Case. Dr. Ollsen reviewed the methodology for the
ecological risk assessment including government regulations and guidance
framework, highlighted the selection of Valued Ecological Components and reviewed
exposure pathways for wildlife and freshwater receptors. He noted the only
exceedences of regulatory benchmarks were from existing conditions in the Baseline
Case in the freshwater aquatic system for a limited number of chemicals; there was no
undue risk predicted for ecological receptors for any of the Project-related scenarios
modelled; or any undue risk predicted for any species at risk that would be found
within the area. Dr. Ollsen concluded by stating the site-specific risk assessment
determined that the proposed Covanta facility operating at 140,000 tonnes of
MSW/year could be safely operated at the Clarington 01 site without undue risk to
either people or the environment. He further advised that for the most part operating
at 400,000 tonnes, the same conclusion could be drawn that under normal operating
conditions there would not be any undue risk to people or the environment.
Dr. Ollson confirmed that the modern-day facility would be safe to operate and that the
Ministry of the Environment will not issue a Certificate of Approval if was deemed not
to be safe.

Lakeridge Health Corporation. Dr. Stone stated healthcare of the community is of
utmost importance and there has been much community discussion on the future of
acute care services at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville and of the future of the
Bowmanville hospital site. Dr. Stone indicated that tonight he would be speaking on
behalf of Lakeridge Health Corporation to advise that the physicians, Mr. Allingham
and Mr. Empey had an open, frank and productive meeting and are moving forward in
a spirit of cooperation to work on a plan for future services at Lakeridge Health
Bowmanville. He stated local physicians and patients understand that healthcare is
under significant pressure, is underfunded and that it is within this environment they
are struggling to find a solution. However, Lakeridge Health Bowmanville must
continue as an acute care site with 24-hour emergency service and on-site internal,
surgical and special care units to serve their patients. Dr. Stone stated there will be
no reduction in service and that the hospital will continue to provide the same services
and that telemedicine will also be developed as an additional tool to serve their
patients. A working group of physicians and hospital administrators will work together
to ensure support for the Lakeridge Bowmanville site. Dr. Stone stated that only joint
communications will be announced to the public through statements issued by either
himself or Mr. Empey as discussions continue. Dr. Stone thanked Mr. Allingham for
bringing both sides together to find common ground and common solutions. He
requested the community, service clubs, business and industry to pledge financial
support as the facility moves towards much-needed renovations. He also thanked
local government leaders, the excellent physician group who have stood united in
trying to represent the interests of the community, hospital staff and Council for their
support. Dr. Stone advised the community must continue to play an important role as
the process unfolds.
In response to questions, Mr. Empey advised that the hospital is keen for the
expansion of the Emergency Department and will continue to work with the Ministry of
Health and the Hospital Foundation to kick-off the project. In response to a further

on May 25, 2009, the Town of Fort Erie adopted the following
resolution pertaining to an Amendment to the Ombudsman Act to
include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman:
"WHEREAS the Ombudsman is the "citizen representative" and the
Office of the Ombudsman is responsible for responding to
complaints affecting government organizations save and except
hospitals, long-term care facilities and children's aid societies, and
WHEREAS the Office of the Ombudsman has been advocating since
1975 to include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman,

every year in Ontario, and
WHEREAS whether overseeing the police, the military or the
Provincial Government, Mr. Marin has stated one of the beliefs that's

expectations of the checks and balances that exist to keep the
system functioning as it should, and
Council Meeting Minutes - 19 - June 15, 2009
WHEREAS the historical reason for not including hospitals, under
the Ombudsman Act is extremely weak and is based on the fact they
do not fall under the definition because they have their own elected
boards, and
WHEREAS a municipal "board of directors" is directly elected by the
public and the hospital board is not, and
WHEREAS the Office of the Ombudsman is quoted as saying,
"Ontario is the only province in Canada whose Ombudsman does not
have a mandate to oversee hospitals. Despite this, the
Ombudsman's Office receives many serious complaints about
hospitals every year that cannot be investigated. A total of 276
complaints about hospitals were received in fiscal 2007-2008.", and
WHEREAS the time has come for the Government of Ontario to
include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman Act to
ensure a high level of health care, fiscal responsibility, accountability,
openness and transparency,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Municipal Council of
the Town of Fort Erie that it hereby petitions the Premier of Ontario
to take the necessary steps in a timely manner to amend the
Ombudsman Act to include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the
Ombudsman, and further
THAT: In the event the Premier responds negatively, the Municipal
Council of the Town of Fort Erie respectfully requests and expects a
full and complete explanation as to why the Province will not amend
the Act as requested,
THAT: This resolution be circulated to all municipalities in the
Province of Ontario for support, and further
THAT: The appropriate persons be so notified of this action."
