Chair, Newcastle Community Liaison Group, Members of the
Newcastle Community Liaison Group and to Dr. Vera Lafferty,
Secretary-General, Siting Task Force.
BACKGROUND
1. At its meeting on November 9 1992, Council received the
delegation of John Veldhuis, Chair of the Newcastle Community
Liaison Group. After acknowledging and thanking Mr. Veldhuis,
Council resolved (by Resolution #C-741-92):
The comments from the Community Liaison Group (" CLG") be
referred to the Chief Administrative Officer for review
and preparation of a report to be submitted to the
General Purpose and Administration Committee.
2. On June 8 1992, the Community Liaison Group ("CLG") chaired by
Mr. Veldhuis had been appointed by Council following
consultation with the Co-operative Siting Process Task Force
on Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal (the "Siting Task
Force" ) . The CLG was appointed to take part in Phases 4 and
5 of the Co-operative Siting Process (see Attachment #1 for a
description of Phases 4 and 5).
3. Previously the Newcastle CLG had been appointed by the Siting
Task Force itself to take part in Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Co-
operative Siting Process. Its mandate ended with the
completion of Phase 3.
4. Phase 4 of the Co-operative Siting Process comprises two
stages (see Attachment #1). In its report "Opting for Co-
operation" the Siting Task Force states that the objectives
of the first stage of Phase 4 are to select the technologies,
identify preliminaries to sites, identify potential
1 U 2
ADMIN. 2 - 93
3
significant and environment and socio-economic issues and find
ways to manage these issues. The purpose of this stage is to
find suitable potential sites to which, in the case of the
waste now located at the Port Granby facility, that waste can
be moved. The second stage of Phase 4 will involve a detailed
examination of all potential receiving "volunteer" sites.
Detailed technical, economic, environmental and social studies
will be commissioned to assess the feasibility of developing
the site. As studies become available their results and
expert comment on them are to be circulated for full public
review and discussion so that concerns and issues needing
further study can be identified and resolved in a timely
manner. In this stage, transportation options are also to be
explored and decided on for the removal of the waste from the
Port Granby facility. These options will be of great
significance to the Town.
5. The Siting Task Force report entitled "Opting for Co-
operation" envisioned each CLG performing a liaison function
between the Task Force including its Secretariat, members of
the local public, and the Municipal Council concerned. In the
Summary of Proceedings and Conclusions of the community Start-
Up Workshop sponsored by the Task Force and held in Toronto on
February 7, 8 and 9, 1992 CLGs were described as being
responsible for "public liaison, i. e., keeping the public
informed regarding the proceedings of Phases 4 and 5,
fostering dialogue, recel.vl.ng input from individuals and
special interest groups." The Summary went on to state that
each CLG was to advise its Council and the Task Force
regularly with respect to community views on all activities
during the implementation of Phases 4 and 5, to have input
into work plans, terms of reference and selection of
consultants to conduct geotechnical, engineering,
environmental, socioeconomic impact and cost/benefit studies.

6. In the Summary of Proceedings and Conclusions of the Workshop,
the Town's concerns expressed at the Workshop are described as
follows:
Newcastle is concerned with proper definition of CLG
Council roles in Phase 4-5, and with Council's authority
to select the CLG and set its Terms of Reference to
ensure public opinion and Council policy is accurately
reflected. The need is cited for commitment to the
original Co-operative Siting Process principles, but with
the flexibility to allow for the particular requirements
and characteristics of each participating community.
Newcastle is committed to the removal of the low-level
radioactive waste now in temporary storage at the Port
Granby facility from the Town as quickly as possible.
7. Some reference to the history of the matter is necessary in
order to appreciate the concerns of the Town. Several
recommendations of the Siting Task Force set out in "Opting
for Co-operation" concerning the role of CLGs were found to be
unacceptable by Council when it reviewed the work and final
report of the previous Newcastle CLG whose mandate expired
wi th the completion of Phase 3. Council's concerns were
identified in its resolution of December 10, 1990:
WHEREAS Council received verbal reports from the Chief
Administrative Officer and the Town Solicitor on the
Report of the Siting Task Force on Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Management entitled "Synopsis Report" dated August,
1990 and on the draft Final Report of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group entitled "Phase III of the Siting
Process for Low-Level Radioactive and Chemical Waste at
the Port Granby Facility" dated November 26, 1990;
WHEREAS the Siting Task Force in "Opting for Co-
operation" recommended that community liaison groups be
accountable both to Council and to the Siting Task Force,
and proposed that community liaison groups be appointed
by Council with the assistance of the Siting Task Force;
WHEREAS all of the members of the Newcastle Community
Liaison Group were appointed by the Siting Task Force
and, with the exception of one member nominated by
Council, the Siting Task Force did not consult with
Council with respect to the appointments;
1 j 4
ADMIN. 2 - 93
5
WHEREAS as a result, the Newcastle Community Liaison
Group is not responsible and accountable to Council, has
not been authorized by Council to act for the Town of
Newcastle, and has not reported regularly and received
instructions from Council;
WHEREAS the Siting Task Force in "Opting for Co-
operation" recommended that the terms of reference of
community liaison groups including such items as their
terms of office, reporting relationships, decision-making
powers, and expected results were to be established by
negotiation between the Council concerned and the Siting
Task Force and in the case of the Newcastle Community
Liaison Group this has not occurred since the Siting Task
Force has acted unilaterally in establishing its policies
on these matters;
WHEREAS the Newcastle Community Liaison Group has not
communicated regularly with Council to receive
instructions from Council;
WHEREAS the Newcastle Community Liaison group has not
restricted itself to considering only the immediate
removal of the radio-actively contaminated waste now at
the Port Granby Facility from the Town of Newcastle in
accordance with repeated resolutions stating Town policy
in this regard;
WHEREAS the Newcastle Community Liaison Group's draft
final report appears to suggest that it and the Siting
Task Force should examine options that include the
retention of the radio-actively contaminated wastes at
the Port Granby Facility;
WHEREAS both the Chairman of the Siting Task Force, Mr.
Paul H. Rennick and the Chairman of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group, Mr. Garnet Rickard, have urged
Council to decide to proceed with Phases 4 and 5 of the
"Co-operative Siting Process" described in "Opting for
Co-operation" as modified by the Synopsis Report;
WHEREAS the Synopsis Report suggests that all source
communities, which would include the Town of Newcastle
requested that a "binding referendum" be held as part of
Phase 4;
WHEREAS the Town of Newcastle has not nor does it intend
to commit itself to a binding referendum which among
other reasons, Council considers to be inappropriate in
a Town with an area of two hundred and thirty square
miles;
05
ADMIN. 2 - 93

WHEREAS Council is of the view that the Town of Newcastle
should not enter into Phases 4 and 5 of the "Co-operative
Siting Process" unless the appointment, accountability,
reporting, authority and purpose of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group is changed as set out below; and
WHEREAS Council has been advised by Mr. Garnet Rickard
that the terms of office of the members of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group will end with the submission of
their final report respecting Phase 3 of the siting
process:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE
CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE:
1. THAT the Siting Task Force be advised that the Town
of Newcastle is prepared to enter into Phases 4 and
5 of the "Co-operative Siting Process" only if the
following conditions are satisfied:
b)
a)
A new Newcastle Community Liaison Group will
be appointed by Council after consultation
with the Siting Task Force and in accordance
with appointment guidelines of the Siting Task
Force as settled with and agreed to by the
Town. The Siting Task Force would be given
notice of the candidates proposed to be
considered by Council and would have the right
to veto any particular candidate after giving
reasons for the proposed veto to Council and
after negotiating any issue respecting the
appointment of a particular candidate(s) with
Council. The Newcastle Community Liaison
Group would be funded by the Siting Task Force
as recommended in "Opting for Co-operation"
and the Synopsis Report.
Except as otherwise provided in this
resolution such items as the term of office,
reporting relationships, decision-making
powers and expected results of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group shall be established
by negotiation between the Town of Newcastle
and the Siting Task Force before Phase 4 of
the Co-operative Siting Process is commenced.
The Newcastle Community Liaison Group shall
report to the Council at least once a month
concerning its work in progress and shall be
accountable and responsible to Council.
d) Consultants for specific tasks will be
c)

retained by the Newcastle Community Liaison
Group and funded by the Siting Task Force as
recommended in "Opting for Co-operation" and
the Synopsis Report. However, no consultant
may be retained until the prior approval of
the Town of Newcastle is given both to the
consultant and to the proposed terms of
reference of the Consultant.
e) If a full-time facilitator is retained, he or
she shall be retained by the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group after prior approval
of the Town Council of the candidate or his or
her terms of reference, with all funding being
provided by the Siting Task Force.
f) The authority of the Newcastle Community
Liaison Group shall be limited to considering
and making recommendations only as to the
methods to effect the immediate removal of the
radio-actively contaminated waste and other
contaminants form the Port Granby Facility as
well as means of mitigating possible impacts
form such removal. It must be made clear that
the Newcastle Community Liaison Group does not
have authority to consider any other potential
option with respect to the Port Granby
Facility or the terms of any possible impact
management agreement with the Town of
Newcastle including compensation. The terms
of any such agreement and compensation must be
negotiated with and agreed to by the Council.
2. THAT the Mayor and relevant Town officials be
authorized on behalf of the Town to settle all
arrangements with the Siting Task Force to give
effect to and to implement the intent of this
resolution.
3. THAT a copy of this resolution be sent to:
Mr. Paul H. Rennick, Chairman, Siting Task Force,
Ms Vera Lafferty, Secretary General of the Siting
Task Force,
Mr. Garnet Rickard, Chairman of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group,
The Atomic Energy Control Board,
The Honourable Ruth Grier, Ministry of the
Environment.

8. Following Council's resolution of December 10 1990,
discussions took place with Dr. Vera Lafferty, Secretary
General of the Siting Task Force Secretariat. These
discussions culminated in an exchange of letters between the
previous Mayor and Dr. Lafferty under dates of December 19
1990 and January 15 1990 respectively. In her letter the
previous Mayor confirmed to Dr. Lafferty that the Town wished
to participate in Phases 4 and 5 provided that the Town is not
considered as a "volunteer" or potential "volunteer" which
would retain the radioactive waste at the Port Granby facility
and provided also that:
1. A new Newcastle Community Liaison Group which shall
be acceptable to the Town as well as to the Siting
Task Force is appointed by Town Council with
assistance from the Siting Task Force in the manner
and subject to the stipulations set out in
Council's Resolution of December 10 1990 at the
start of Phase 4;
2. The term of office of the members of the Newcastle
Community Liaison Group, reporting relationships,
decision-making powers and expected results in
addition to the other stipulations contained in the
Resolution of December 10 1990 and the
considerations set out in Part III of the Town's
Submissions to the Atomic Energy Control Board
dated December 12 1990 will be negotiated by
Council and the Siting Task Force to their mutual
satisfaction prior to the commencement of Phase 4
as it relates to the Town;
3. A binding referendum will not be held in the Town
unless specifically authorized by Council.
9. In her letter to the previous Mayor, Dr. Lafferty replied in
part that:
"I believe that the conditions stipulated in your letter
can be accomplished under the Process to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned, and I look forward to working
more closely with the Newcastle Council if continuation
of the Process is approved by Cabinet. We expect the
decision to be rendered in the very near future."

10. Mayor Diane Hamre in a letter dated January 21 1992 to Mr.
Patrick MacCulloch, Chairman of the Siting Task Force,
referred to the resolution of Council on December 10 1990 and
the letters exchanged by the previous Mayor and Dr. Lafferty.
Mayor Hamre went on to state:
"I will not summarize what is in this correspondence.
Suffice it to say that I supported and continue to
support the resolution passed by the Town Council on
December 10 1990. I also concur with the contents of
Mayor Hubbard's letter to Dr. Lafferty dated December 19,
1990.
In the spirit of Dr. Lafferty's letter of January 15,
1991, I would very much like to discuss with you and Dr.
Lafferty how the conditions set out in Mayor Hubbard's
letter of December 19 1990 can be accomplished in the
process to the satisfaction of all parties concerned. I
am confident that this can be done. Perhaps we could
begin our discussion before the Workshop if that will be
convenient for you. Please let me know.
11. Following the February 7, 8 and 9 Workshop, Mayor Hamre
reported to Council at its meeting on February 17 1992,
Council adopted Resolution GPA-161-92 (see Attachment #2).
The resolution recites in part:
"WHEREAS the Co-operative Siting Process involves the
appointment by Council, after consultation wi th the
Siting Task Force, of a Community Liaison Group for the
Town to hold office for three years to be responsible
both to Council and to the Siting Task Force, to use
staff, consultants and financial resources to be made
available by the Siting Task Force, and with terms of
reference remaining to be settled in detail which will be
brought before Council for its approval at a subsequent
meeting;"
12. Although in general the role and responsibilities of the
Newcastle CLG were agreed to with the Siting Task Force before
the appointment of the current CLG, detailed terms of
reference of the CLG have not been brought before Council for
its approval as was provided for in the penultimate recital in
Council's resolution of February 17 1992.
09
ADMIN. 2 - 93
10
13. Nevertheless, the Newcastle CLG has established nine
functional sub-committees (see Attachment #3). Each sub-
committee is assigned a specific task with particular items to
perform. I assume that the Siting Task Force Secretariat had
recommended to the CLG that the sub-committees be established.
I assume that other CLGs are being similarly organized so that
their work and input ultimately can be related to and
integrated with the work of the Task Force Secretariat and the
technical consultants.
14. At present the members of the sub-committees of the Newcastle
CLG are examining material and receiving presentations from
specialists which in summary appear to be designed to sharpen
the understanding of the members of the various functional
issues associated with the tasks assigned to the Newcastle
CLG's sub-committees.
15. Mr. Veldhuis also advises that he believes that the Siting
Task Force Secretariat currently is designing and
commissioning or proposing to commission a number of
significant research studies. Many of these studies are
generic in the sense that they relate to each of the current
host communities and potential volunteer communities.
Clearly, however, specific consulting studies dealing with the
Port Granby Facility will have to be commissioned in the very
near future if the Task Force is to be in a position to
complete the first stage of Phase 4 within the allotted time.
In this regard, Acres International Limited has prepared a
report entitled "Discussion Document for Setting Criteria for
the Clean-up of Port Hope Area Sites" (December 1992). In
section 6.5.4 of its report, Acres concludes:
"The Port Granby WMF has many similarities to the Welcome
WMF and, thus, much of the discussion presented for the
Welcome WMF is also relevant to Port Granby and will not
be repeated here. Also, it is likely the clean-up
1 0
ADMIN. 2 - 93
11
criteria developed for one waste management facility
would be applicable to the other. There are two areas
where additional information is required prior to
selecting the lower level:
1. There is almost no information at the Port Granby
Waste Management Facility to determine the extent
of uranium or arsenic contamination. Many of the
boreholes drilled in 1978 were not sampled for
uranium and arsenic and the detection limit for
uranium was 5ppm. The evidence that does exist,
however, suggests that uranium and arsenic exist at
about background concentrations to a greater depth
than radium-226. An extensive field sampling and
analysis program will be required prior to
selecting criteria for uranium and/or arsenic.
2. A major uncertainty at Port Granby is the
significance of the underlying groundwater plume.
Modelling carried out by Environment Canada... has
postulated that radium-226 and uranium have
migrated into the sands and silts underlying the
Port Granby WMP...
Clearly, determination of the nature, extent and location of
the waste at Port Granby will require Port Granby specific
technical studies."
16. The terms of reference of at least three of the sub-committees
of the Newcastle CLG are of significance in light of Council's
previous resolutions. They are the Legislation/Contracts, the
Hydrology & Geology, and the Compensation and Insurance sub-
committees. The membership and terms of reference of all of
the sub-committees is set out in Attachment #3.
17. The task of the Legislation/Contracts sub-committee is to
identify all the legislation and regulations and the standards
relating to the removal of low-level radioactive waste from
Port Granby. Particular items that are to be considered by
the sub-committee include Federal, Provincial, Municipal and
International legislation, contract specifications and
performance bonds. It is not clear why in light of Council's
resolutions of December 10 1990 and February 17 1992 that
either the CLG or a sub-committee should deal with contract
111
ADMIN. 2 - 93
12
specifications and performance bonds. Mr. Veldhuis should be
requested to clarify this matter.
18. The Hydrology & Geology sub-committee has the task of
reviewing reports relating to movement or fixation of
contamination in/on land and water on site, and adjacent to
the site (Port Granby). The particular items to be considered
by the sub-committee include the stabilization of bluffs and
testing of wells. It is not clear whether the stabilization
of the bluffs that is to be explored by the sub-committee has
any relation to the Interim Stabilization project undertaken
by Cameco three years ago and the decisions of the Atomic
Energy Control Board referable thereto. Mr. Veldhuis should
be asked to clarify these matters and whether this item of
work is consistent with Council's decision that only the
removal of the waste material from the Port Granby Facility
should be considered.
19. The Compensation and Insurance sub-committee has the task of
studying needs for expropriation and methods by which
compensation can be paid, and requirements for insurance
coverage by all parties involved. The particular items to be
considered include the end-use of the property, rehabilitation
of the site and compensation of the Town and residents.
20. Having regard for Council's resolution of December 10 1990
dealing with compensation, the Town's Solicitor and I met with
the members of the Compensation and Insurance sub-committee at
their request. They have prepared an interesting paper on
compensation of residents who have been impacted by the Port
Granby Facility and have asked for the Town's position on this
issue. This will be the subject of a subsequent report to the
General Purpose and Administration Committee.
2
ADMIN. 2 - 93
13
21. The Compensation and Insurance sub-committee of the CLG also
asked for the Town's position with regard to the end-use of
the site of the Port Granby Facility once the waste material
has been removed. The Director of Planning and Development's
preliminary view on the matter is that the end-use should be
a passive recreation use and that the site should be
transferred by its current owner, a numbered company
controlled by Cameco, to the Crown in Right of Canada which
would have the responsibility to maintain the site in
perpetuity. I support the Director's preliminary position as
being in the interest of the Town and its ratepayers and
recommend it to the Committee.
22. Council's resolution of December 10 1990 requires that all
consultants' contracts and terms of reference as well as the
individual consultants be approved by Council. This was
acceptable to the Siting Task Force Secretariat as evidenced
by Dr. Lafferty's letter to the previous Mayor dated January
15 1991 referred to in Paragraph 9 of this Report.
Dr. Lafferty and Mr. Veldhuis should be requested to provide
to the Town the necessary information to allow Council to
review for approval consultants' contracts, terms of reference
and the recommended consultants. Wi th regard to proposed
consultants' contracts, this information should also be
provided to the Town Council so that it may review and, if
appropriate, approve before the consultants' contracts are
actually made.
All of the above is respectfully submitted,
