Ontario, with respect to Social Housing, advising of a letter dated February 11, 1999,

(Motion to Proclaim)
D-4 Edwin and Violet Cook, 290, 292 and 294 Ding Street East, Bowmanville, L1 C 1P9,
lodging a complaint pertaining to the issue of the snow management policy in effect on
Ding Street East (between Beaver Lumber and Mearns Avenue) in Bowmanville. Since
the amount of space between the highway and the sidewalks is minimal and because it is
a five lane highway, the amount of and frequency at which snow from the road is piled on
to the sidewalks is atrocious. They feel that the municipality ought to be responsible for
the removal of sidewalk snow which results from ploughing of the highway in this area
and are requesting assistance in this matter.
(Refer to the Director of Public Works for response)
D-5 Paulette Hebert, 119 Concession Street West, Bowmanville, L1C 1Z1, advising that she
received an invoice for snow clearing following the exceptional snow falls of January.
She feels that it is unreasonable to expect adherance to the municipal by -law under these
particular snowfall conditions. She advised that a seven foot snow bank was piled on her
sidewalk by road clearing and in all fairness, 12 hours is insufficient to clear such
tremendous amounts of snow. She is requesting that the fee be waived and is asking for
consideration in this matter.

1-12 Wayne Arthurs, Mayor, Town of Pickering, advises that in July of 1998
The Honourable David Collenette, Minister of Transport, initiated a thirty
day public consultation period in consideration of declaring federally held
lands as an airport site under the federal Aeronautics Act. At the request
of the Town of Pickering, two extensions to the consultations were granted
to December 31, 1998. He advised that the Town of Pickering met with
federal representatives and others on two occasions during this period.
One of these meetings on October 15, 1998, included Minister Collenette.
They propose that after more than 25 years, it is timely and appropriate to
establish a "stakeholders forum" to address the matter of a proposed
declaration and other issues of local, regional, provincial and federal
interests. They strongly believe that community stakeholders have a
legitimate role to play in such a process. A meeting was held on March 2,
1999, at 2:00 p.m., at the Pickering Recreation Complex to initiate
discussions and set the stage for the stakeholders forum.
(Received for Information)
1-14 Janet Mason, Assistant Deputy Minister, Ministry of Municipal Affairs '
and Housing, advises that a recently filed regulation under the Municipal
Act has the effect of prohibiting municipalities from licensing real estate
companies, brokers and agents. The Provincial Government's role is to
ensure that municipal licensing does not result in regulatory duplication
and undue financial burdens on businesses in Ontario. Since the real
estate industry is regulated under the Real Estate and Business Brokers
Act, municipal licensing of real estate agents and brokers would constitute
unnecessary duplication. She advised that after careful examination, it has
been decided to proceed with the regulation.

was passed at their February 24`h meeting. Municipalities will contribute
$311,300 in funding to Kawartha Conservation in 1999. This is an
increase of $8,700 over last year. Although, when spread across the 19
municipalities of the watershed, the increase is quite small and was
absolutely necessary and fully justifiable. Recently, a dissolution vote of
Kawartha Conservation was called at a public meeting held on February
11th, the watershed municipalities voted 19 to 1 against dissolution. The
cost of this meeting was $9,181.00 and was added to the 1999 budget.
However rather than raising revenues to cover this cost from the
municipalities, Kawartha Conservation chose to fund the meeting through
reserve funds.

Enforcement Pilot Projects: The Red Light Cameras Pilot Projects Act,
1998, amends the Highway Traffic Act to allow designated municipalities
to test red light camera systems that will photograph the licence plate or
the driver. The amendments are designed to permit prosecution of red
light offenders, using certified documents as evidence. The government
continues to believe that a visible police presence at intersections is an
effective strategy to reduce red light running. Therefore, municipalities
choosing to introduce red light camera pilot projects will be required to
introduce stepped-up enforcement at other high-risk intersections to allow
for comparison between the cameras and traditional enforcement.

D — 7 Rollo Myers, Co-ordinator, Citizens for the Old Town, advising that
Behind the Times Puhlishing's Ross Frame and Tamara Kure have come
up with a great idea which they endorse enthusiastically. In July 1799
American entrepreneur Asa Danforth commenced construction of the
"Road to Kingston" linking York, the new capital of Upper Canada Week
with earlier settlements to the east, and establishing a starting point for
further settlement along the north shore of Lake Ontario. This early
highway was intended to provide secure communications and open new
lands to settlers, thus encouraging immigration and improving the
economy. He stated that Ross has suggested that they mark the
bicentennial with a commemorative broadsheet in the style of the Upper
Canada Gazette of the period with a page or two devoted to the history of
each community along the route. He advised that the plan is to deliver a
special Canada Day proclamation from the Mayor of Toronto the Mayor
of Kingston by stagecoach, with stops at all communities along the way to
distribute the historical broadsheets to renew interest in the early years and
in the people and events that shaped the early years of our province. He is
asking if this would be of interest to the Municipality of Clarington. (A
copy of the rough draft of the broadsheet is available in the Clerk's
Department.)

Government that investing in families is worthwhile. Family Service
Ontario is the professional body for 48 family service agencies across
Ontario, and the body that accredited their agency. Currently, all agencies
must find funding for all people for whom they provide counselling. As a
result, people with employee assistance plans can get counselling quickly,
while low-income people must wait months for any counselling in areas
other than Durham. In many cases, they may face high user fees. They
are requesting all interested people in Ontario to write individually to their

for funding for families in line with the document — Families Work.

Item 48 Resolution #C-175-99
Moved by Councillor Young, seconded by Councillor Trim
WHEREAS a report on the Private Sewage Systems in the Hamlet of
Orono was received by the former Town of Newcastle on September 20,
1990;
WHEREAS significant time has elapsed since the report was received;
WHEREAS the report concluded that:
4.1.1 Downtown Core
The downtown core is densely developed and as a consequence, at
least 74% of the properties have lot sizes and/or ground conditions that
preclude the installation of individual Class 4 or Class 6 private
sewage systems.
2. Many of the systems are overloaded and discharge raw sewage to the
surface during periods of heavy use.
3. During periods of rainfall and/or high ground water base flow the
surface waters throughout the downtown core approximate raw
sewage.
Contaminated runoff water from the downtown core likely
contaminates Wilmot Creek and the branch of Wilmot Creek that
flows through the southern part of the study area.
5. It is apparent that a health risk exists throughout the commercial core
of Orono due to inadequate private sewage systems.
Council Minutes -22- March 8, 1999
REPORTS
4.1.2 Area Surrounding Core
A random survey of 75 lots within the area surrounding the core
determined that 20% have lot sizes and/or ground conditions that
preclude the installation of individual Class 4 or Class 6 private
sewage systems.
2. During periods of dry weather the Peters Pike, Andrews Road, and
David's Crescent subdivision and the area bounded by Station
Street, Sommerville Drive, Church Street, and Orono Park
experience a significant number of cases of sewage breakout and
sewage backup.
3. During the periods of rainfall and/or high ground water base flow
the surface waters throughout the area surrounding the core
approximate raw sewage.
It is apparent that a health risk exists throughout the area
surrounding the core due to inadequate private sewage systems.
This risk is more pronounced within the Peters Pike, Andrews
Road, and David's Crescent subdivision and within the area
bounded by Station Street, Sommerville Drive, Church Street and
Orono Park.
For recreational waters, the MOE has established the limits of 100 per 100
ml volume for fecal coliforms and 20 per 100 ml volume for fecal
streptococci. The MOE has not established limits for Ecoli or
pseudomonas aeruginosa, however, the MOE does use a guideline of
23 per 100 ml volume for E.coli;
The levels of contamination in the water sample collected from Wilmot
Creek exceed the limit established for fecal streptococci and the guideline
recommended for E.coli, and also meet the limit established for fecal
coliforms. The excessive levels of pseudomonas aeruginosa also indicate
that pathogenic bacteria could be present. These levels are excessive for a
watercourse in which children may play, therefore, a regular monitoring
program should be established and signs posted prohibiting recreation in
the creek whenever excessive levels are present. It is noted that Orono
Park is located approximately 200 m downstream from the downtown
commercial core, and that public washrooms are located approximately 20
m from the creek within Orono Park. A possible cause of the
contamination in Wilmot Creek is surface water runoff from the
commercial core and/or the public washroom leaching bed;
Council Minutes - 23 - March 8, 1999
REPORTS
WHEREAS the final recommendation was that the installation of a
communal sanitary sewer system within the downtown core and
throughout the area surrounding the downtown core should be investigated
as a means of alleviating the health risk which exists within the area due to
inadequate private sewage system;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of
Clarington request that the Region of Durham revisit the possibility of
health and environmental problems in the downtown core and the area
surrounding the downtown core of Orono and determine if a communal
sanitary sewage system should move forward on public health grounds
and that costs of further investigation be budgeted for by the Region of
Durham.

lodging a complaint pertaining to the issue of the snow management policy in effect on
King Street East (between Beaver Lumber and Mearns Avenue) in Bowmanville. Since
the amount of space between the highway and the sidewalks is minimal and because it is
a five lane highway, the amount of and frequency at which snow from the road is piled on
to the sidewalks is atrocious. They feel that the municipality ought to be responsible for
the removal of sidewalk snow which results from ploughing of the highway in this area
and are requesting assistance in this matter.

D-5 Paulette Hebert, 119 Concession Street West, Bowmanville, LIC 1Z1, advising that she

particular snowfall conditions. She advised that a seven foot snow bank was piled on her
sidewalk by road clearing and in all fairness, 12 hours is insufficient to clear such
tremendous amounts of snow. She is requesting that the fee be waived and is asking for
consideration in this matter.

Dear Ms. Barrie:
C� , f , 6�1AP_/, C
IZ 10 PM '99
Thank you for sending me a copy of the February 8, 1999 resolution passed by the
Council of the Municipality of Clarington on the issue of child poverty. I appreciate
being informed of Council's concerns on this most important matter.
Child poverty is an issue which concerns us all and I am pleased to inform Council of the
steps this government is taking to help address this problem.
The goal of the government's initiatives is to ensure the best outcomes for all children in
Ontario. We are committed to improving services that help prevent and reduce child
poverty by helping low income families stay in the workforce or assisting them in making
the transition to employment. Ontario has two significant programs resulting in more
actual dollars in the pockets of low-income working families: the National Child Benefit
and the Ontario Child Care Supplement for Working Families.
The National Child Benefit (NCB) announced on June 18, 1998 is an innovative national
approach to programs and services for children in low-income families. Developed and
designedJointly by the federal/provincial/territorial Ministers responsible for Social
Services, the program means that low income families can receive as much as $1,600 per
year for a child.
As the objectives of the NCB outline, provincial savings as a result of this program must
be reinvested in programs that reduce child poverty or help parents to stay in the
workforce. In Ontario, NCB savings have been invested in the new Ontario Child Care

Supplement for Working Families, which came into effect last year. This program will
support up to 350,000 young children in working families by providing a maximum
annual benefit of $1,020 for each child under seven. Families are eligible for the
supplement if one of the parents has work earnings exceeding $5000 or if a parent is
attending education or training programs and has child care expenses that are not
otherwise funded publicly.
Because Ontario municipalities pay 20 per cent of social assistance costs, they too benefit
from NCB reinvestments, which they can use to meet the local needs of low-income
families. For example, Durham Region has received $352,170 for 1998 through this
initiative.
The government has also allocated $25 million to the Learning, Earning and Parenting
Program (LEAP) which will ensure that teen parents get the skills they need to get off
welfare and into paying jobs. LEAP will help break the cycle of dependency through
child care subsidies and other supports to help teen parents on welfare finish school.
Since 1995, Ontario has led the country in job creation with the addition of 517,000 new
jobs. The unemployment rate in Ontario has dropped to 6.9 per cent, well below the
national average of 8.8 per cent. Ontario's improving economy and our welfare reforms
are producing results.
In Durham Region, the social assistance caseload has declined by approximately 40 per
cent since June of 1995. Included in this number is over 7,300 dependent children who
have left the welfare system. Last year, this resulted in savings of $112,425,583 for local
taxpayers.
Again, I thank Council for sharing their views with me. I am confident that the
government of Ontario is heading in the right direction towards alleviating child poverty.
I appreciate hearing Council's input on this very important issue, and am available, as
always, to answer any questions or concerns Council may have.
appreciate your assistance in sharing this information with Council.
Yours truly,

Executive Vice -President and Chief Nuclear Officer. "We can only achieve our goal of being among the best in
the world if our targets reflect the highest standards."
Because standards have been raised, it may appear in the short term that the performance of our nuclear
operations have declined.
"Some of the `excellent' standards we achieved last year, will only be `good' when measured against
this year's targets. However, the overall progress, as measured by the OHN performance index, will continue
to move upward," Andognini said.
The report cards also have a number of other changes. They show some trends in performances and
also contain a number of renamed categories. Among the changes:
Radioactive Waste Produced will have more restrictive targets, and Spills, Major and Moderate
replaces Spills Reportable to the MOE. This is a tougher measure and it will be harder to achieve the
"excellent" standard that was recorded last year. Employee safety targets will be raised in all three measured
areas.
The report cards, which measure such things as production, radiation exposure, safety issues and
overall nuclear performance, are made available to a wide -range of groups, including the communities in which
Ontario Hydro's nuclear generation stations are located.

REPORT CARD JANUARY 1999
Environment
Radioactive Waste Produced has more restrictive targets for 1999 than in 1999. Dose to Public will not be reported at the OHN
level, as this indicator measures the dose received by the public adjacent to each nuclear site, and does not roll -up to an OHN total. What
had been reported previously at the OHN level was simply the highest dose figure generated by any of OHN's facilities. As such it was not
representative of either the dose received by the average Ontario resident, nor the average resident adjacent to a nuclear facility. Targets
are unchanged from 1999. The dose reported by each site will be the combined total from both "A" and "B" plants, rather than the
former practise of reporting the dose figures separately for plants sharing the same site. Spills - Major & Moderate replaces the Spills
Reportable to the MOE indicator reported last year. Targets for the new indicator we significantly more difficult to achieve. All

Section 28 Applications and Violations
Jeff Schuyler reviewed with the Executive Committee a situation in Sonya where a
watercourse has been blocked by an individual, thus preventing drainage from an upstream
subdivision. The blocking of the watercourse is a violation of our regulation and thus a
violation notice is to be issued. Upon review of the situation, the Executive Committee
concurred with this action.
Jeff Schuyler next reviewed a proposal to put an addition onto the Fenelon Fire Hall. This
building is within the flood plain, but due to the emergency services nature of the building, an
addition is possible within limits. The amount of possible addition was reviewed and it was
pointed out that the adjacent fire shed would be removed. Thus the total addition could be
15% of the existing structure plus the area of the fire shed to be removed.
Res. # 1 EC/99
Moved by: Dave Murray
Seconded by: Ken Gadsden
The Executive Committee Resolves, That, the extension to the Fenelon Fire Hall be agreed to
in principle and that staff be authorized to develop an application under our "not

withstanding clause", permitting a 15% increase to the new existing fire hall plus the
replacement area of the old fire shed, with the understanding that the old fire shed will be
removed.

Financial Review of Dissolution and Considerations for the 1999 Budget
Committee members reviewed the costs of holding the dissolution meeting. The total cost
was $9,181.54. In addition, there was 313 hours of staff time devoted to the undertaking at a
value of $10,096.00. The Executive Committee discussed ways and means of dealing with
this cost and agreed that it would need to be resolved at the upcoming Board of Directors
budget meeting. The Executive Committee also discussed options available to deal with
programming problems arising if the budget were not approved as drafted. It was recognized
that the contract biologist position might be shortened to accommodate any budgetary
decrease. While this might be a solution for 1999, it was apparent to all committee members
that long term programming and funding requirements would have to be addressed before the
2000 budget process. It was suggested that the Executive Committee should be prepared to
meet with every municipal council in order to achieve a consensus on conservation programs
and funding.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 12:48 a.m.

1999 Budget
Chair Crowe stated that his Council was opposed to the proposed 1999 conservation budg
and in consideration of his role in drafting the budget and his personal belief in its merits, F._
could not in good conscience participate in the budget vote. He then stepped out of the Cho
and Vice -chair Gary Atkins assumed the chair for purposes of dealing with the budget.

Mr. Bailey then announced that he too could not in good faith participate in the budget vote a:
per his Council's wishes and that he would abstain.
As part of the 1999 budget discussion, the costs of the special meeting on dissolution were
presented. Total cost of the meeting was $9,181.54. In addition, 313 staff hours were
involved in preparing for the meeting; this has a value of $10,096. Members discussed ways
and means of dealing with the meeting costs. Costs could be added to the 1999 municipal
funding; they could not be dealt with and a deficit run within the budget; or, dissolution costs
could be appropriated from the reserve for unspecified expenditures. It was suggested that
perhaps the Province should be approached to cover the costs.
Res. # 27/99
Moved by: Reg Starr
Seconded by: Alex Ruth,
Resolved, That, the $9,181.54 in costs associated with holding the dissolution meeting on
February 11, 1999 be added to the revenue side of the 1999 budget by appropriating that
amount from the Authority's Reserve for Unspecified Expenditure and the expenditure
component of the 1999 budget also be increased to reflect these costs.
Res. # 28/99
CARRIED
Moved by: Reg Starr
Seconded by: Alex Ruth
Resolved, That, the Province be strongly requested to cover the dissolution meeting costs;
and,
That, staff be directed to develop an Authority policy for future dissolution considerations.
CARRIED
Discussion then centred on programs being undertaken and the need for such activity.
Provincial policy for natural heritage, water quality and natural hazards were reviewed, as wa
Section 35 of the Federal Fisheries Act. This review helped to clarify the role of Kawartha
Conservation in assisting municipal planning to meet these policy requirements. It was noted
that the number of annual new planning articles has increased by about 50% since 1995 and
the complexity of the review process has likewise increased. These factors have resulted in
the total hours devoted to land use planning activities more than doubling since 1995.
Questions were asked as to whether or not the biologist position could be postponed. While
this was an option it was noted that such postponement would impact the advancement of ou:
environmental monitoring and data management activities. It was also noted that time lost
now would have to be made up at a later date; better to begin now. The proposed GIS was
reviewed and it was concluded that although our system was complimentary to the system
M
being developed by the County, it could not be replaced by the County's. Certainly there are
benefits from having access to the County GIS and visa versa. The merits of using GIS as a
management tool to save staff time was brought forward as was the potential to generate
revenue from GIS data management and presentation.
A resolution was put forward on the 1999 budget. This being a budget vote, a recorded vote
was taken with each vote being weighted in accordance with municipal funding apportionmen'
The voting documentation is attached. Of 18 members in attendance, 11 voted for the budget
and 5 voted against the budget. Two members abstained. On a weighted vote basis, the
budget passed by 53.3158%.
Res. # 29/99 Moved by: John Byrne
Seconded by: Don Money
Resolved, That, the 1999 budget for the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority be
amended to $397,731.00 revenue; and,
That, an appropriation from the Reserve for Unspecified Expenditure be made in the amount
of $9,181.00 in support of this budget revenue; and,
That municipal funding in support of this budget revenue be $311,300; and,
Further That, the municipal funding be apportioned between watershed municipalities in
accordance with the 1999 apportionment percentages shown on Schedule III of the 1999
budget document.
CARRIED
Vice -chair Atkins stepped out of the chair and Chair Crowe assumed the chair.
Vice -chair Atkins initiated discussion on ways and means of reaching out to watershed
municipalities. He stated that it had been discussed by the Executive Committee and that the
intent would be to initiate dialogue to review concerns and communicate the merits of
conservation programming with a view to re-establishing positive relations between
municipalities and Kawartha Conservation. Members discussed this and there was agreemen
with the merits of pursuing such dialogue. It was suggested that municipalities should be
made aware of provincial policies affecting them and the role of Kawartha Conservation in
acting on their behalf in dealing with these policies. The meeting should be informal and
sufficient time should be spent to thoroughly deal with each municipality. It was thought that
formal, 15-20 minute presentation with Council would not suffice. It might be of benefit if
groups of municipalities could be met with and it might be also of benefit if municipalities
could come to the conservation office in order to have access to all programming informatior
However, we should be willing to go to Council, if arrangements can not be made otherwise.

Meeting times and dates should be flexible to accommodate the municipalities. The over-
riding theme of the meetings should be reconciliation and the bettering of all involved. There
may be a need for several meetings and this exercise should be ongoing. At some point it
might be beneficial to also involve the public along with members of Council.
Res. # 30/99 Moved by: Gary Atkins
Seconded by: Neil Bailey
Resolved, That, the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Committee to undertake
discussions with, every municipal council within the watershed for the purpose of determining
specific municipal concerns with the conservation authority; fully discussing those concerns;
clearly stating the rationale for conservation programming; and, re-establishing positive
municipal/conservation authority relations; and,
That, the format of these discussions be determined by the Executive Committee; and,
Furthermore, That, the outcome of these discussions be considered in the development of the
conservation authority's 2000-2004 business plan and 2000 budget.
CARRIED
Discussion on Governance Model
The question of whether or not to operate as a committee of the whole or with and executive
committee was discussed with a view to improving communications and member involvement.
It was noted that perhaps a smaller Board could be achieved if municipalities voluntarily chos
to share a member between them. This would reduce costs and permit operating as a
committee of the whole with a manageable number of representatives. The perception that
the Executive Committee was an inner circle, controlling the conservation authority was note(
although it was recognized that the Executive Committee dealt with day to day business and
items that were perhaps unwieldy for full Board consideration. It was pointed out that anyone
can attend an Executive Committee meeting and by this process be more involved. It was
suggested that more time and effort should be spent reviewing Executive Committee minutes
at the Board of Directors. Directors should be encouraged to seek clarification and ask
questions. The notion of rotating Board meetings between municipalities in order to general
awareness and interest was put forward. This used to be done, before Kawartha
Conservation had an office. Perhaps at the very least, the Annual Meeting location might be
rotated. More involvement from the members and greater understanding might be achieved
consideration were given to informal social times outside of the regular business meetings.
These matters will be considered by all members and discussed further at the next meeting.
1999 Meeting Schedule
The meeting date for the 2nd Executive Committee meeting has been changed from March 2
to March 4 and the 3rd Executive Committee meeting will be March 26 instead of March 23.
All Executive Committee meetings begin at 9:30 a.m. and any member can voluntarily attend.
Other than the above changes, the 1999 meeting schedule is as circulated under the heading
"REVISED February 1999'. Any member wishing a new copy of this schedule is asked to
contact the office.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:47 p.m.

trash receptacles on the Museum grounds, similar to what Clarke Museum received (they
also get their trash receptacle empties by the Town) but was informed that we are not
classed as a park therefore cannot receive the proper benches, etc. Dianne will inquire
further into this matter as we would only need three of each. It was suggested that
perhaps the local Service Clubs would sponsor these for the Museum.

MONEY MATTERS SEMINAR
On Wednesday, February 27' I attended a seminar at the Hutchison House Museum in
Peterborough. It was put on by the Ontario Historical Society, and was entitled "Money
Matters". It outlined current funding opportunities and gave an outline of their economic impact
survey.
Some of the funding opportunities, such as the Canada Millennium Partnership Program, we
are already aware of. Below is a synopsis of some programs we may want to take advantage of.
N
3.
M:....am 5freet Ontario Program::
This is a Millennium Program and all activities must take place in the year 2000.
This program will provide matching funds of up to 50% and must come through
the Municipality. A heritage event or garden enhancement would be an ideal
candidate for this funding.
I have leaned at another meeting that the Town is applying for this grant and it
may be too late for us to be a part of this program.
This program is for non -capital projects. They are interested in promoting
marketing, partnership, and programs. They will fund up to 50% of your costs
with no maximum. The goal of this funding is to promote arts and heritage by
funding programs that would make them less reliant on government revenues.
Bjorn Nielsen and Lon O'Hara are the contacts.
This funding, originally only meant for social services, has expanded their mandate
to include culture and heritage. They will fund non -capital projects up to $75,000.
This funding is on-going with no set deadline. Jackie Powell and Joanne
Richmond are the contacts.
4 Serttage Urganrza(on Development Grant
Funding is provided to newly developed historical societies. May not be
appropriate to our site.
The last part of the program featured a discussion on the OHS survey. This included the
analysis of the spin-off effect to the community when a historical event is held. Their studies
show a range from $4. To $220. In spin-off dollars was spent in a community when their local
heritage organization held an event. The financial benefit of museum events can have a far
reaching impact in the community. This type of information can be used to support our carriage
shed rebuilding project. If we had the space to hold conferences, and seminars not only would the
Museum benefit, but the community as well.
This study is available for the Board to peruse.

Fact sheet - Ontario 2000
(Version frangaise disponible)
Ontarians have said they want the province to co-ordinate a meaningful and
inclusive millennium program that's community-based, supports conserving our
heritage and environment, engages Ontario's youth, and focuses on the province's
proud past and prosperous future. The provincial government is responding with a
$20 -million investment in initiatives that include:
I` Main Street Ontario: Matching funding — of up to 50 cents per resident — will be
provided through municipalities, First Nations, and local service boards for one-
time, community -oriented projects between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2000. Funding
will range from $1,000 to a maximum of $350,000. Applicants may propose
projects to beautify their communities, promote tourism, or celebrate cultural
diversity, history, or achievements in science and technology. (Inquiries: Call
416-314-2020 in the Toronto area, or 1-877-464-0444 from elsewhere in the
province.)
• My Ontario: Primary and secondary students will be invited to develop their
vision, in words and pictures, of what Ontario may be like in 2020. A selection
will be published in a special millennium book that will be distributed to schools
and libraries across the province.
• Spotlight on Tomorrow's Leaders: To build pride in those who will lead the
province in the 215` century, 100 young people — between the ages of 15 and 24
— will be honoured. Nominees must show exceptional leadership in all of the
following areas: academics, community service and creative and healthy living
(such as arts endeavours, sports participation and recreational activities).
• Millennium memento: Ontario's 2.1 million primary and secondary students
will receive a special keepsake to remember this once-in-a-lifetime event.
They'll be able to pass it on to future generations and say, 1 was there in 2000."
• The Three Century Club: Individuals whose lives have spanned the 1g`h, 20`h
and 215` centuries will be honoured for their contributions to the province's
growth, prosperity and diversity.
• It's About Time: Three acclaimed provincial tourist attractions — the Ontario
Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum and Science North — will mount a
travelling exhibit scheduled to visit communities throughout the province during
the summer of 2000. It will feature interactive science exhibits, live
presentations and a multimedia theatre show built around the theme of time:
how we measure it, how others have measured it in the past — or might
measure it in the future — and how time affects our lives.
• That's The Ticket: This campaign will offer special links — for Ontario residents
and tourists alike — to events in cities, towns and villages across the province in
the year 2000. Ontario 2000 will encourage Ontarians and visitors to mark the
millennium in Ontario.
• Special Projects: Many organizations are developing their own millennium
initiatives. The province recognizes the need to support good ideas that may
not fit under Main Street Ontario. Eligible projects would need to demonstrate
long-lasting benefits for multiple communities in a region. A small advisory
group will be appointed to assist in the selection of these partnership
opportunities.
• Ontario 2000 Connections web site: An interactive web site
(www.ontario2000.on.ca), to be launched later in January, will connect Ontario
to the world and the world to Ontario's millennium initiatives. It will provide a
single window for millennium events, and give everyone with access to the
World Wide Web an opportunity to learn about and respond to Ontario's
millennium program.

municipalities, First Nations and local services boards whose community
millennium projects fall under one or more of the following themes:
The Homecoming. Tourism and other community initiatives designed
to attract visitors to Ontario and encourage Ontarians to explore their
home province in the millennium year.

millennium gardens; river, creek and take improvements; historical
restorations; projects to improve accessibility for people with
disabilities, and other initiatives that will improve the places where
we live.
3. Land Of Opportunity. Ontario's accomplishments provide an
opportunity to showcase our rich past, vibrant present and bright and
confident future. Examples could include science fairs or local history
projects.

RE: Municipal -Conservation Meetings
Dear Mrs. Barrie:
�Z
At the February 24th Board of Directors meeting, a resolution was passed authorizing the Executive Committee to
meet with every municipal Council for the purpose of reviewing municipal concerns and discussing conservation
programming. This is proposed in order that we might resolve misunderstandings and work cooperatively to our
mutual benefit. We also believe that such meetings will provide positive input for our proposed 2000 to 2004
business plan.
We propose to meet with two or three municipal Council's at one time if scheduling permits. This is proposed in
order that the meetings can be accomplished within a reasonable period of time. Moreover, we believe that meeting
with a group of municipalities may facilitate the free exchange of a wider variety of views. We however, do not wish
to deal with too large a number at any one time, because this might hinder meaningful discussion. We have scheduled
ten dates for the municipal meetings, allowing for both afternoon and evening sessions on each date. This has been
done in order that as many municipal councillors as possible can have opportunity of attending. It would be our hope
that Council will be able to select a date and time that is convenient for every member of Council to attend. We arealso hoping that Council can attend one meeting as a group rather than having members of any one Council attending
several meetings as individuals. We do recognize that time constraints may preclude everyone from attending, but we
believe that the number of proposed meeting dates should accommodate almost all. If however, none of the proposed
dates are suitable to Council, we would appreciate being informed of alternate dates that we might accommodate your
municipality. If by chance, your Council believes that a meeting with Kawartha Conservation would not be beneficial,
we would appreciate being informed that no meeting is desired. In order to permit a firm schedule to be drafted, we
request that you complete the attached form and return it to our office by FAX before March 30th. We will then
establish a set schedule that we will return to all municipalities by April 7th.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter of municipal -conservation relations.
Yours very truly,

Memorandum
To: Mayor Diane Harare and Members of Council
From: Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer
Date:
March 17, 1999
Subject:
Council agenda of March 22 1999
Correspondence D4 and D5 sidewalk snow removal issue
These two pieces of correspondence are related to complaints of snow/ice pushed onto
the sidewalk by snowploughs, and homeowners ended up being invoiced by the
Municipality for sidewalk snow clearance. Complaints of this nature are not new. In fact,
the snow storms we experienced in the first week of January have generated several
similar complaints, although not every complaint finds its way onto the agenda.
This is an ongoing problem and will re -occur year after year, especially at these locations
wheke the sidewalks are in close proximity to the curbs. The problem requires a
permanent solution. In this regard, I have requested the Regional Public Works
Department and the Director of Public Works to ask their respective snowplough drivers
to slow down their snow removal vehicles so as to minimize the impact of pushing
excessive snow/ice onto the sidewalks. As a permanent solution, I have asked Mr. Vokes
to include in this year's current budget approximately $40,000 to provide for snow
removal in designated areas of sidewalks where there is insufficient snow storage in the
boulevard areas,
I am advising Council in advance of this proposed solution, which you may decide at
budget time whether or not this increased level of service is affordable or justified within
the context of all other priorities.
In the meantime, I suggest the two pieces of correspondence and similar complaints be
referred to the Director of Public Works to take appropriate action, which will include
withdrawing any invoices to the affected homeowners.

From: Stephen A. Vokes, Director of Public Works
Date: March 18, 1999
Subject: CORRESPONDENCE FOR DIRECTION D-17
REQUEST FROM ROY FORRESTER TO AMEND REPORT WD -10-99
This is to advise you that the correspondence from Mr. Roy Forrester, ORTA
Chair, Clarington Chapter, regarding his request to amend Report WD -10-99, was
reviewed by staff.
The applicants have requested that the trail route be changed. The portions of the
trail, which will be located on unopened road allowances, are ultimately subject to
certain conditions which must be met to the satisfaction of the Director of Public
Works. Staff recommends that Mr. Forester's request be approved subject to the
same conditions as specified in Report WD -10-99. Resolution GPA -86-99
approved the recommendations in Report WD -10-99.
It is therefore recommended that Council pass the following resolution:
THAT the proposed amendment to Report WD -10-99, as requested in
correspondence dated March 17, 1999, (D-17) from Roy Forrester, as shown on
the attached map, be approved, in principle, subject to the same conditions
specified in Report WD -10-99 and as approved by Resolution GPA -86-99;
THAT the Townships of Manvers and Hope be provided with a copy of the
correspondence and map and advised of Council's decision.;
THAT Roy Forrester, ORTA Chair, Clarington Chapter, be advised of Council's
decision.

Re: Report No. WD -10-99
On February 15th council gave approval to Report No. WD -10-99 giving
tentative approval for use of certain Road allowances for a proposed
Oak Ridges Trail through a portion of the Municipality, the former
Clarke Township.
Since that time advances have been made in the plannng of the trail
which now would take in road allowances from the Wotton Road inter-
section with the boundary road with Scugog, former Darlington
Township, through to the Ganaraska Forest Centre on the
Hope/Clarke boundary. This completes a tentative course for the Oak
Ridges Trail through your municipality.
It would be appreciated if you could see fit to make an addendum to
WD -10-99 incorporating this addition with some changes in the for:
mer Clarke Township.
At the present time we have assembled the names and addresses of
abutting owners along the full length of the trail from the Wooten
Road east to the Hope/Clarington boundary.
Having approval of the above, letters will be mailed to the abutting
owners to be followed by an open form to which such owners will be
invited.
We have appreciatd your support in the past and look forward to a fur-
ther positive report. I should also menton that your staff have been
very helpful. / 7�

PERFORMANCE REPORT CARD
Charles Packer
Site Vice -President
Darlington Nuclear
Site Vice -President's Report
Nineteen ninety-eight was a very eventful year at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.
Early in the year, we introduced an innovative 13 -week rolling schedule to streamline an ambitious program
of maintenance work and we also brought new methods into action to plan and execute better unit outages. As
a result, in September we recorded our best -ever outage on Unit 1, and had begun to tackle a backlog of main-
tenance tasks. In July, a new work management computer software tool came online to assist staff in managing
day-to-day operations at Darlington. By the end of the year, we had tested new emergency response procedures,
met our goals for employee safety, and surpassed them in electricity generation. All the while, we continued to
make progress with an intensive work improvement plan that will carry on into 1999•
There were also challenges to meet as we updated plant equipment, implemented a new payroll system and
replaced our radiation protection procedures. We brought about 250 new staff to Darlington. This special edi-
tion of the Public Report Card is intended to provide you with an overview of our progress in 1998.
On April 1, 1999, deregulation will take us into a new age for our business as Ontario Hydroa successor com-
panies come into beine. Through these changes, we will continue to focus on the work at hand. Continuous_
improvement of our work processes, Y2K readiness, and an ambitious program of planned ou aT ges far Units 3,
4 and 2 will all be high on the list. We will also settle new staff at Darlington, and look to the future with con-
fidence as we work together on many initiatives.
The past year represents a solid foundation for what lies ahead, but we are not complacent. In 1999, we will
raise some of our targets and establish new plans to continue learning and improving. I have great confidence
in our ability to meet and surpass our goals; indeed, I believe we already know most of what we need to know
to get to excellence; now we just have to make it happen.
CAPABILITY FACTOR
Capability Factor is the amount of energy
capable of being produced per month as a
percentage of perfect performance, assum-
ing no external constraints, eg. Transmi-
ssion limitations. The Darlington year-end
capability factor was 86.4%, well above the
year-end target of 78.3%.
REACTOR TRIP RATE
The Reactor Trip Rate is measured as the
number of unplanned automatic reactor
shutdowns per 7,000 -hours -critical. The
year-end reactor trip rate for 1998 was
better than target.
There was 1 unplanned automatic reac-
tor trip in 1998.
LOW AND INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL RADIOACTIVE
WASTE PRODUCED
The Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive
Waste Produced at all sites is measured as a
total volume in cubic metres. The total
volume of radioactive waste produced at
the Darlington site in 1998 was 567.7 m'
which is less than the target of 650 m'.
Most of this waste is contamination con-
trol clothing. A proposal to use washable
coveralls is being reviewed.

1999 will see some exciting
changes in the power industry. I'll
keep you updated on what those
changes mean to Darlington, and how
we are preparing ourselves for the
coming competition. Updates on sta-
tion operations, employee events and
our community partnering projects
will be provided. The back page of
this edition lists upcoming communi-
ty events that Darlington is hosting.
We are also participating in both the
Municipality of Clarington and
Durham Region anniversary
celebrations.
If you have any questions about
the station or the newsletter, please
call me at 697-7443.
Employee Safety Tops Million -
Hour Mark
on-the-job safety training and programs at
Darlington are paying off in seven figures for
Darlington employees, who recently worked for over
one million person hours without a lost -time
accident.
"What this means is that 2,000 people worked on
site for approximately 110 days without incurring a
single injury that prevented them from coming to
work,"says Rick Clarke, Environmental Health and
Safety Manager. "This is a notable achievement as well
as a solid step towards our goal of an accident -free
workplace."
While Darlington has met its targets for employee
safety, Rick says the drive is on to promote a safety
culture of zero tolerance for lost -time injuries.
"It's a significant milestone when you consider that
we have 2,000 workers in a plant full of equipment
and potential hazards. When you benchmark us
against a number of other large industries in our
community, our results compare very favourably. But
that isn't to say that we can't do even better."
A multi -step approach to safety which includes pre -
job briefings, following protocols and communicating
clearly, was introduced at Darlington in 1993. Since
then, Pick says, other programs have been introduced
that dovetail with a philosophy of detailed day-to-day
attention to safety. "Because of the nature of the work,
musculoskeletal injuries are our biggest problem," he
says. "We have nurses on site who are available to
Tom Lupu: Bringing History to Life
You might not have seen Tom Lupu on the screen
yet, but nonetheless, he is a "movie star"! For the past
decade, Tom has been a member of the American
Civil War Historical Re-enactment Society, a charitable
organization that educates people about the Civil War
and Canadians' contribution to it between 1861 and
1865. For example, fifty thousand Canadians partici-
pated in the Civil War, and seven generals were
Canadian. Society members also visit secondary
schools and teach students through demonstrations
and living history.
In 1992, Tom was chosen to be part of Ted
Turner's movie "The Battle of Gettysburg," starring
Martin Sheen as General Lee, Sam Elliott as General
Beauford and Ted Turner as a Confederate officer. ,It
was a really unique experience," Tom says. °I saw
first-hand how a movie is made, and had a chance to
meet all of the stars. They were very friendly."
And just last July, Tom participated in the 135th
anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, which turned
out to be the largest re-enactment ever in North
America. The event was held in Pennsylvania and
someof the 32,000 participants came from as far
away as England and Germany. The majority of the
re -enactors camped out in both Uruon and
(cont'd on page 3)
Confederate
camps, and
according to
Tom, "At night,
the light from
thousands of
camp fires lit up
the area like a in
giant Christmas Martin sheen (len) and
tree." Tom Lupu (right)
'About 90 replica cannons were used, and you
could feel the earth shake beneath you when they
went off" he said. "It was a real spectator event —
you could walk around and talk to all of the partici-
pants. Settlers, also known as merchants who fol-
lowed the army around, re-enacted their roles by set-
ting up tents which formed large canvas shopping
malls where they sold things like uniforms, muskets,
books and music."
Tom, is a Teamster and has worked at Darlington
since 1981. During his 18 years at the site, Tom has
seen the station transform from one of the largest
.construction sites in North America to 4 operating
units which provide power to almost 3 million people.
Tom lives on his tree farm Just north of the station.
For each age is a dream that is
dying, Or one that is coming to
birth.
A. WE. O'Shaughnessy
The words come from a poem called "The
Music Makers", and they tell us that we can
choose to took to the past or to the future;
that the past is always decaying, and the future is always rising in front of us.
This coming year represents a new age for our business. We will cease to be
part of Ontario Hydro on 1 April 1999 and will become a major part of the
newly formed company called "Ontario Power Generation Incorporated".
This is a significant milestone which offers us the opportunity to think about
what kind of organization we want to be, and what kind of workplace activi-
ties and relationships will offer us the best chance of being competitive in
the future electricity marketplace.
Darlington people succeeded in generating more electricity than planned in
1998, and within budget. We continued to make improvements in the way
we do our work, and we met our employee safety goals. The past year was a
solid foundation for what lies ahead. However, we are not complacent. In
1999 we will raise some of our targets as we establish plans to learn and
improve further.
We are proud of our partnerships and relationships with our community. We
are the largest business in Clarington, and we take care of a large portion of
land which has some special habitats for wildlife of many kinds. We would
be pleased to share ourselves with you through site visits, or through having
myself or another Darlington employee come to speak to your organization.
Please call us at 623-7122. -,/I /

A Changing Company
As part of the changes contained in Bill 35, the
Energy Competition Act, Ontario Hydro will be
broken up into five separate companies on April
1, 1999, Darlington and the other nuclear sites
will continue to produce electricity but as part of
Ontario Power Generation, rather than Ontario
Hydro, Ontario Power Generation will have a
total installed capacity of approximately 30,000
megawatts from 69 hydroelectric stations, six
fossil -fuelled stations and three nuclear sites,

In addition, an on-site fitness facility enables
them to work on fitness and reduce stress at
the same time.
Ironically, EI Nina may prove to be the
biggest challenge yet in bettering the most
recent million -hour milestone. Every day, the
safety clock begins to tick the moment an
employee steps onto the site. Although the
majority of injuries that account for lost time
at Darlington are "very minor" in nature, lick
says "If you slip when you get out of your car
in the parking lot, it counts as a lost -time
injury because it happened at work. Our cur-
rent weather conditions will certainly test our
ability to maintain our Slip and Injury -Free
targets in the coming months."
An open invitation to
community neighbours
On Wednesday, April 14, 1999, from
6:30-9 P.M. Darlington will hold it's sec-
ond annual public meeting. Local residents
are invited to join Carl Andognini, Chief
Nuclear Officer and Charles Packer,
Darlington Site lice President, at the
Clarington Beech Centre, 26 Beech Avenue in
Bowmanville, to share our progress with you
and hear your view on how we can do better.
Many
Areas
In early February,
the year end perfor-
mance report card
for Darlington
showed that we had
exceeded or met our
1998 targets in many
based on nine different measures used by the
World Association of Nuclear Operators
(WANO) was 61.6%, exceeding the target we
had set of 59%. In addition, we produced
more electrical energy than targetted, exceed-
ed our capability factor, and met our employee
safety targets. Also on the positive side, our
reactor trip rate was lower than targetted and
we produced less low and intermediate
radioactive waste. However, in the area of pub-
lic safety events, we were worse than target
and have actions in place to reduce the num-
ber of occurrences in this area. In 1999, we
will raise some of our targets and establish
new plans to continue to improve and to bring
our station to world class performance. Copies
of the 1998 year end report are available by
calling 905.623-7122.

ONTARIO'S NUCLEAR PLANTS
Vol
Designed, Built and
Operated for Safety
A nuclear reaction is a powerful
source of energy.
Just one multi -unit nuclear plant can meet one-fifth of Ontario's annual electricity needs — from a
quantity of fuel barely enough to fill a double car garage, about 200 cubic metres.
Because nuclear reactors are powerful energy sources, they need to be designed, built and operated
with safety as the most important concern.
ONTARIO'S NUCLEAR PLANTS
Designed for safety
CANDU REACTORS — the name is a short form
of Canadian Deuterium Uranium — are Canadian
designed, and use heavy water to help sustain a
nuclear reaction.
Safety is the number one priority in the Candu
design.
• Candu designers devised several different
ways for reactor systems to do their jobs.
If a system responsible for one aspect of a
reactor's operation malfunctions, operators
can turn to another system to get the same
job done.
• Components of different key systems are
physically separated from one another. As a
result, a malfunction in one system will not
affect another.
• Key systems operate independently of each
other, so that a malfunction in one system
does not interfere with another.
• At least two pieces of equipment are available
to do any safety-related task, in case there is a
problem with either one.
• Where possible, safety-related systems and
components are designed to function in a
"fail-safe" way. One example of this approach
is the set of shut-off rods suspended above
each reactor. When dropped into the reactor,
the rods take less than two seconds to stop
the nuclear chain reaction. The rods provide
fail-safe protection because they are held in
place by electrical devices. Any interruption
of electrical supply to the devices holding the
'rods and they drop.
This safety -oriented design philosophy is
complemented by the fact that Ontario Hydro
operates its reactors using skilled, well-trained
staff and a program of rigorous and continuous
monitoring.
Although the nuclear generation industry is one
of the safest in North America, Ontario Hydro
isn't complacent. The extra care that has gone
into the design and operation of its reactors has
resulted in an outstanding safety record covering
more than 30 years.
A commitment to containment
Another unique aspect of the Candu design is
the containment system.
Each of the reactors at Ontario Hydro nuclear
plants is located in a heavily -reinforced concrete
building. The reactor buildings are all connected
to a vacuum building, also made of reinforced

concrete. Together, these structures can contain
radioactive steam which might be released from
reactor systems during a nuclear incident.
Building for safety from the ground up
The thorough attention paid to safety at
the design stage has been mirrored in the
construction of all Ontario Hydro nuclear
plants.
Only the finest materials have been used in all
areas of the plants, and all construction was
checked and cross-checked repeatedly.
When it came to equipping the plants, the same
quality standards were followed.
The only way to operate: safely
All these design and construction features are
complemented by strict maintenance and
operating procedures.
A continuous program of testing catches
potential problems before they could happen.
Staff are constantly trained and tested to
maintain a high level of competence. Control
room operators, for example, must train in the
classroom, in the station and on simulators for
nine years or more before they are authorized to
operate a reactor unit — and then must continue
to update their skills annually
Finally, to ensure that safety procedures are
always followed, the Atomic Energy Control
Board (AECB), the independent federal regulator
for the nuclear industry, assigns full-time staff to
each nuclear plant. These inspectors continually
monitor operations. All plants are also subject to
licensing review on a regular basis, and the
AECB has the power to revoke the operating
licence at any time.
Design.
Construction.
Safe operation.
Maintenance.
Training.
These are the components of a comprehensive
approach to nuclear safety at Ontario Hydro. It's
an approach that acknowledges the potency of
nuclear energy and its potential dangers — and
works to reduce the risks and maximize the
benefits.

RADIOACTIVE EMISSIONS
r
Dealing with the Reality
People living around Ontario Hydro's
nuclear plants want to know more about
radioactive emissions.
The reality: radiation is all around us
The reality is that radiation is a part of our daily life. We are exposed to it from a number of natural
sources: radon gas from the earth, naturally occurring radioactive elements in our food (like the
potassium in milk), and cosmic rays from space — to mention just a few. Even human beings emit
some radiation.
RADIOACTIVE EMIi510 J �«
We are also exposed to radiation from several
technological sources like medical and dental X-rays.
A very small proportion of that exposure comes
from tiny amounts of radioactive material
released into the air and water around Ontario
Hydro's nuclear plants in the course of
everyday operation.
The key question is this: Is the amount of
radioactivity released from the plants harmful?
And who decides how much is harmful?
Who sets the standard
Limits on the amount of radioactive material a
nuclear plant can release are set by the Atomic
Energy Control Board of Canada (AECB), based
on international standards. The Board is a
federally appointed regulator whose job is to
ensure the safety of operations in the Canadian
nuclear industry.
The Board has set stringent limits on nuclear
emissions. According to its standards, the
maximum allowable exposure a member of the
public can receive from a nuclear plant is 1,000
microsieverts a year.
This is half the amount received each year from
natural background sources, like the bricks in a
house, the potassium in some foods and the
cosmic radiation to which we're constantly
exposed.
FOR THE RECORD:
ONTARIO HYDRO NUCLEAR PLANTS
AND THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE
In over 30 years of operation, there has
never been an emission of radiation from
an Ontario Hydro nuclear plant that has
resulted in harm to the public. Extensive
research by the federal government has
also found no evidence of radiation -
related health effects in the communities
surrounding Hydro's nuclear plants.
Wayne Melvin
Health Physics Technician
Bruce Nuclear
"We exhaustively sample and test
${
to ensure that any environmental
emissions are well below established
regulatory limits. Our primary goal is
to have minimal impact on the
h
environment."
RADIOACTIVE EMISSIONS
The Hydro standard:
a fraction of the limit
The AECB limit is a very conservative one,
designed to eliminate any risk.
But Ontario Hydro imposes its own standards
on its nuclear plants. And those standards are
much stricter still. Ontario Hydro's target is
50 microsieverts, a small fraction of the limit
defined by the AECB.
In fact, the estimated dose from the plants for
someone living at the station fence is typically
5 to 20 microsieverts.
INSIDE THE LIMIT, BEATING THE TARGET
The average individual public dose from
Ontario Hydra nuclear plants is not only well
inside regulatory limits, but also much less than
Ontario Hydro's own more -stringent targets.
Dose is reported in microsieverts (pSv)
Total for 1996:11.3 (Pickering plant)
Dose from a single chest X-ray: about 10
Proposed legal limit for dose from emissions: 1000 per year
Natural background radiation dose: 2,000 per year, Canadian average
Constant vigilance
One reason radioactive emissions from Ontario
Hydro nuclear plants are so low is because of
the vigilance and care of the people who work
in those plants. They pay close attention to
equipment and procedures for handling and
storing radioactive materials and waste.
[For more on the handling, storage and
transportation of nuclear waste, see "Nuclear
Materials: Safe Management" in this series.]
And to ensure that they're doing their job well,
each of Ontario Hydro's nuclear plants operates
a comprehensive environmental monitoring
program. Samples are taken regularly from the
air and lake water around the plants, and levels
of radioactivity are periodically checked in local
produce and dairy products.
Constant monitoring and careful procedures:
these are the ways that Ontario Hydro
maintains a standard in radiation safety that
goes beyond — substantially beyond — the
standards imposed by law.

RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS
Safe Management
The amount of radioactive used fuel generated
by a nuclear plant is surprisingly small.
Ontario Hydro's nuclear plants produce about 600 cubic metres of used fuel a year — about enough
to fill three double garages. That fuel has produced about half of the electricity Ontario needs to run
homes, hospitals and industries.
This used fuel, if not properly stored, is potentially harmful to human health and the environment. It
is radioactive for a long time, contains some chemically toxic elements and generates heat.
RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS.
That's why Ontario Hydro has developed a
system to handle used nuclear fuel safely
Used fuel: the process
The most intensely radioactive material pro-
duced by Ontario's nuclear reactors is the fuel
that has been used to produce electrical power
Each natural uranium dioxide ceramic fuel pellet
is about two centimetres long. Thirty pellets
are assembled in a metal sheath, known as a
"pencil," and pencils are assembled into "fuel
bundles" in such a way that they don't touch.
Each bundle is 49.5 centimetres long, weighs
22.5 kilograms and contains 28 to 37 pencils,
depending on the plant.
By the time the fuel bundles are removed after
12 to 18 months in service, they are physically
very hot and too radioactive for human contact.
For this reason, machines remove and transport
them a short distance to a used fuel bay.
Here, the bundles are submerged in water that
serves to cool the used fuel and provide a shield
against radiation.
After 10 years, the radioactivity and heat
production of the used fuel has sharply
decreased to the point where the bundles may
be moved safely to reinforced concrete and
stainless steel "dry storage" containers. The
containers are designed to store the used fuel for
50 years, and studies indicate that they can be
used safely for much longer, with ongoing
maintenance and inspection.
The long-term solution
It takes roughly 1,000 years for the radioactivity
of used fuel bundles to return to levels typical of
the natural uranium ore from which they were
produced. As a result, Ontario Hydro has been
working with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited
to develop the concept of geological disposal for
used fuel as a long-term solution. The concept
involves the permanent disposal of used fuel
deep in the stable rock of the Canadian Shield.
The concept, as developed, is that used fuel
bundles would be buried in corrosion -resistant
containers, resting in stable rock formations at a
depth of 500 to 1,000 metres. Here, the used fuel
would continue to lose its radioactivity, safely
isolated from human contact. Sweden and other
countries are also pursuing this type of solution.
The current direction for used fuel management
was set 20 years ago in a joint statement from
the governments of Canada and Ontario.
Ontario Hydro is committed to the long-term
management of nuclear waste in a safe,
environmentally and socially responsible way
and will undertake to fulfill its role and
responsibility for nuclear waste management as
defined by the Federal Government's
Radioactive Waste Policy Framework.
Steve Taras
Darlington Nuclear
"In 1992 and 1993, we realized that we had traditionally treated all Darlington
waste as contaminated, although 80 to 90 per cent was probably clean. We set
about trying to find a better process of sorting waste.
"The result was Darlington's 'Likely Clean' waste management program.
"The staff now monitors bags of waste for radioactivity, then individually picks
apart the contents, monitoring each item inside and out to determine that there
is no detectable activity. Non -radioactive waste is separated into landfill or
recyclable categories; radioactive waste is sent to Bruce.
"As a result of this process, we've been able to consistently achieve greater than
80 per cent diversion of waste from landfill to recycling and drastically reduce the
volume of low- and intermediate -level waste being sent to the Bruce storage facility."
i
Li
RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS
Beyond fuel bundles
Nuclear plants also produce other kinds of
radioactive material.
Material that has come in close contact with the
reactor is radioactive, but much less so than used
fuel. Some of this intermediate -level waste (in
particular, the ion -exchange resins and filters used
in reactors) is packed in specially designed
containers and shipped to a storage facility at the
Bruce site on Lake Huron. Other types of
intermediate waste, e.g., pressure tubes, are
currently stored at the Pickering site.
At the Bruce storage facility, intermediate level
waste is placed in thick steel containers surrounded
by concrete sleeves and set into the ground. The
containers are designed to be highly corrosion
resistant. Even so, ground water under the facility is
constantly monitored to check for any signs of leaks.
The Bruce facility also stores all of the low-level
radioactive waste from Ontario's nuclear plants,
including protective clothing and mops. This material
is stored in above -ground concrete warehouses.
A savings plan
While nuclear energy has many benefits — including a
waste output that is small and contained — the
storage and long-term management of this waste
must be financed by those who are using the
electricity that nuclear plants provide.
To cover future costs of nuclear waste disposal and
station decommissioning, Ontario Hydro makes
annual contributions to a "provision" fund to
account for these liabilities. The nuclear waste
management and decommissioning provision has
been included in Ontario Hydro's electricity rates for
all customers since 1982. The accounting provision
accumulated to the end of 1997 was $2.2 billion.
The total estimated cost of nuclear waste
management and station decommissioning is
periodically reviewed in order to ensure the
adequacy of the provision fund.

NUCLEAR ENERGY AND THE COMMUNITY
a
r
VA
Vel t A a
Measuring the Impact
To anyone who sees one of Ontario Hydro's nuclear
plants for the first time, the impact is immediate.
These are giant, complex installations. And their size is in proportion to the enormous impact they
have on the province. Together, they generate over half of Ontario's electrical power. Without them,
the province's industrial strength — and the day-to-day convenience to its citizens — would be
dramatically reduced.
NUCLEAR ENERGY AND THE COMMUNITY
Nuclear plants will continue to provide a large
share of the electricity required by the province,
with minimum impact on the environment.
Nuclear and the neighbourhood
In similar ways, nuclear plants have dramatic
impacts on their immediate neighbourhoods as
well. And the most obvious ones are economic.
Ontario Hydro's three nuclear sites directly
employ several thousand people in and around
the communities where they're located. These
employees and their families pay taxes and
purchase local goods and services — as do the
plants themselves — supporting local jobs and
the local economy.
Beyond numbers
Jobs and dollars may be the easiest ways to
measure the local impacts of nuclear plants, but
there are other contributions as well.
Sometimes those contributions are direct. Some
of the plants, for example, help fund and train
local volunteer fire departments.
Sometimes the contributions are less visible.
Employees from Ontario Hydro nuclear plants
often contribute services to the communities
where they live. For example, staff from the
Pickering and Darlington plants built a section of
Ontario's Waterfront Trail system through their
sites. The trail sections are used and enjoyed by
growing numbers of people from the community.
Hydro employees are also active as community
volunteers — coaching amateur sports, working
with home and school organizations,
participating in local service groups and
supporting local charities through Fundraising
and volunteer work.

During the Festive Seasons, Ontario Hydro employees participate in local drives by collecting food, toys
and other items, or cash donations, which are forwarded to local charities.

NUCLEAR ENERGY AND THE COMMUNITY
Another impact: the environment
Like all methods of generating electricity,
nuclear power has an impact on the
environment. In fact, compared to other types
of power production, nuclear plants are very
environmentally friendly — a big plus, especially
considering the amount of energy produced.
Nevertheless, Ontario Hydro works hard to
minimize the environmental impact of its
nuclear operations.
Diligent work practices, combined with
comprehensive monitoring programs at and
around all its nuclear plants, ensure that any
public exposure to radiation is extremely low —
in the order of 5 to 10 microsieverts. This is less
than the exposure from one chest X-ray, and a
small fraction of the amount allowed by the
Atomic Energy Control Board, the independent
federal regulator for the Canadian nuclear
industry.
When it comes to impact on fish and wildlife, all
three nuclear plants — Darlington, Pickering and
Bruce — have developed special systems to keep
the lake and surrounding lands safe for fish,
animals and birds. Darlington and its employees
have shared community and international
awards for their efforts in developing and
improving the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail.
Recycling is also a top priority for all three
plants. The Bruce plant has recycled 55,000
fluorescent tubes from its operations. And the
Darlington plant recycles 85 per cent of its
conventional waste, an achievement that has
earned an Award of Merit from Durham Region.
Weighing the impacts
There's no avoiding the fact that nuclear energy
has an impact — on the communities immediately
around Ontario Hydro's nuclear plants, and on
the province as a whole.
On balance, the impact is positive for Ontario —
and for those communities who count a nuclear
plant as a neighbour.

Plans and Partnerships
On February 22, 1995 word flashed out from
the Pickering Nuclear Plant: a nuclear incident
had occurred.
Plans that had been years in the making unfolded without a hitch in an atmosphere of calm and order.
Police and government officials were notified immediately, and over the next two days schools were
cleared, evacuation routes secured and centres set up to check for radioactive contamination.
It was, of course, only a drill. The Pickering plant is one of the safest in North America and has
had an exemplary safety record since it first started operating in 1971.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Nevertheless, all Ontario Hydro nuclear
plants and the communities around them
are prepared to deal with any kind of nuclear
incident. Exercise '95 was designed to test that
preparedness, and it was a success because of
an emergency preparedness plan that had been
developed jointly by the provincial, municipal
and regional governments and Ontario Hydro.
A co-ordinated response
Canadian nuclear reactors are designed, built
and operated with safety as a primary concern,
so an emergency involving an Ontario Hydro
nuclear plant is very unlikely. But however low
the probability of an incident, plans to respond
must be in place. (In fact, governments have
plans that cover emergencies in a variety of
industries including transportation and
manufacturing as well as nuclear.)
Response to an emergency must be carefully
organized and co-ordinated. As a result, nuclear
emergency preparedness plans have been
developed through a unique partnership.
Working closely together, Ontario Hydro,
local municipalities around the nuclear plants,
and regional and provincial governments have
put together detailed arrangements that take
into account a full range of scenarios.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
The duties and responsibilities of all the
key players and institutions are carefully
laid out by Ontario Hydro plant personnel,
police, firefighters, ambulance services and a`
government agencies at the municipal,
regional and provincial level. The plan also
provides a framework for the involvement
of hospitals, nursing homes, schools and
other institutions.
Prepared — pre -planned
Every aspect of the response has been
planned in advance so that no time will be
lost should an emergency happen.
• A communications system is in place.
• Emergency personnel receive regular,
hands-on training.
WHAT KIND Of EMERGENCIES?
The design of a CANDU reactor makes an explosion like the
one at Chernobyl next to impossible. In the unlikely event of
an incident, a more probable scenario would involve the
release of radioactive steam or other material into the
reactor buildings.
Under the emergency plan, the relative seriousness of the
incident would determine the nature of the response.
• If an incident occurred that posed no immediate threat
to the surrounding communities, local authorities would
still be alerted immediately and kept informed of the
situation. They would not be required, however, to take
any action.
• If an incident occurred that also involved a problem
with the plant's safety systems, local authorities
would put emergency organizations on standby so that
if the emergency plan were to be implemented, those
organizations would be ready to take immediate action.
• If the potential existed for the release of radiation,
the province would authorize implementation of
the emergency plan. Because of the "containment"
capabilities of Canadian reactors, even a serious incident
involving the release of radioactivity would unfold
relatively slowly — likely over a matter of several hours
or even days — providing valuable time to take any
precautionary measures and to implement the
emergency plan.
In 30 years of operation, no event at an Ontario Hydro
nuclear plant has ever required more than the first level

TALKING ABOUT TRITIUM
ve,fA4
Safe Storage and Constructive Use
Tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen
produced in a nuclear reactor during a nuclear
reaction. Trace amounts are also produced
naturally by cosmic radiation interacting with
the atmosphere.
In Canadian -designed Candu (short for "Canadian Deuterium Uranium") reactors, tritium can build up
in the heavy water that surrounds the reactor core. (Heavy water is a naturally occurring form of water
used in Candu reactors to sustain a nuclear reaction.) Unchecked, tritium buildup could result in added
radiation exposure for nuclear workers, and in an increase in the very small amount released into the
environment during normal plant operation.
TALKING ABOUT TRITIUM
That's why Ontario Hydro has built a Tritium
Removal Facility at its Darlington Nuclear Plant.
Taking tritium out of circulation
The Darlington facility processes heavy water
from all of Ontario Hydro's nuclear plants, and
from Hydro Quebec and New Brunswick Power
nuclear stations as well.
The facility extracts the tritium from heavy
water and chemically immobilizes it. The
immobilized tritium is then stored in special
containers which are, in turn, stored in a
concrete vault.
From signs to science
Most of the tritium removed by the facility
remains in storage. But some is put to use in a
variety of constructive applications.
• Tritium is used in emergency exit signs in
commercial buildings and airplanes, and in
lights for runways in remote areas. Small
amounts enable letters or numbers to shine
without electricity.
Tritium signs emit less radioactivity than a typical
smoke detector and conserve electrical power,
especially in applications where a sign must be on
constantly. Most importantly, they continue to
work in emergencies when power fails.
• Tritium can also be used as a "tracer" in
biomedical research. Small amounts of tritium
are added to drugs or other substances to
allow researchers to follow their movement
through a test subject.
• Tritium is used to advance research into
alternative fuels. One day, it could be an ideal
fuel component for nuclear fusion, a process
that produces heat in the same way as the
sun. Fusion reactors hold out the promise of
large amounts of electrical power from tiny
amounts of fuel — and tritium is playing an
important role in their development, both in
Canada and internationally

TRITIUM IN DRINKING WATER: SAFE STANDARDS
In early 1996, an accidental release of heavy water from Ontario
Hydro's Pickering nuclear plant temporarily raised levels of
radioactive tritium in Lake Ontario near the plant.
Was there any risk to health? The answer is no.
The limit recommended around the world as safe for tritium
in drinking water is 7,800 becquerels/litre; Ontario's interim
limit is 7,000. (The becquerel is a unit for the measurement of
radioactivity.) Drinking water with a concentration of 7,000
becquerels/litre would result in a radiation exposure equivalent
to one chest X-ray.
The peak reading at the Pickering water treatment plant after
the Pickering release was 831 becquerels/litre, which quickly fell
back to normal levels of 20 to 30.
Ontario Hydra is committed to maintaining annual average
tritium concentrations in the water supplies around its plants at
or below 100 becquerels/litre — less than two per cent of the
internationally accepted limit.
In fact, in over 30 years of operation, there has never been an
emission of radioactive material from an Ontario Hydro nuclear
plant that has resulted in harm to the public. Extensive research
by the federal government has also found no evidence of
radiation -related health effects in the communities surrounding
Hydro's nuclear plants.
POWER AND PEOPLE
NfNERATING S�A�`
DARLINGTON NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
EXTRAORDINARY POWER
EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE
Darlington produces 20 per cent of all the
electricity consumed in Ontario.
Two factors make it possible: advanced nuclear
technology, and a highly trained and motivated
team of people.
Designed for efficiency — and safety
The Darlington Nuclear Station is built around
four CANDU reactor units. CANDU technology —
developed here in Canada — enables Darlington to
produce its enormous output for a whole year with
no more fuel than would fill a two -car garage.
Candu technology is also designed for extraor-
dinarily safe day-to-day operation. And in the
unlikely event of an incident, safety system's
would prevent any harmful release of radiation.
The people behind the technology
Behind Darlington's advanced technology are
the men and women who make it work.
They're highly skilled and carefully trained.
A nuclear operator, for example, must train for
a minimum of nine years before operating in the
main control room.
Darlington personnel take a lot of pride in what
they do. And that's not surprising.
After all, producing one-fifth of Ontario's
electrical power — safely and efficiently — is a
tremendous accomplishment.
DARLINGTON NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
FROM FISSION
TO FRIDGES:
How Darlington
produces the electricity
Ontario needs
A furnace, a fan and a generator.
In its simplest terms, that's the chain that
produces electricity at Darlington.
At the heart of the station are four nuclear
furnaces — CANDU reactors. The reactors
produce heat by splitting atoms of uranium fuel.
Heat from the reactors is used to turn water into
high-pressure steam that is forced through a
set of specially designed fans called turbines.
When the steam hits the turbine blades, it
causes the turbines to spin at high speed.
The spinning turbines turn Darlington's four
electrical generators. Those generators produce
20 per cent of the electricity that operates
Ontario's fridges, lights, stoves and motors —
plus the hundreds of other electrical devices
we've come to depend on.
DESIGNED, BUILT AND OPERATED FOR SAFETY F;�
Safety was the key concern that guided the design and 00,
construction of Darlington.
• The CANDU system includes several ways to shut
down reactors in case of an incident — and to contain'
the release of any radioactive material. mom
• Only top-quality materials were used to build
Darlington, and the best equipment purchased to run it.
Today, safety continues to be the focus in the operation
of the station.
• Staff are trained rigorously and continuously.
• A program of inspection and maintenance keeps
y equipment in peak working order.
DARLINGTON NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WASTE?
Radiation and Darlington
A nuclear reactor produces waste products
The wastes from Darlington are the radioactive
materials the station's reactors produce during
the fission process. And because those materials
are potentially harmful, they're handled with
extreme care.
Radioactive emissions:
below three bananas
The reactor buildings at Darlington are sealed to
prevent the escape of radioactive particles into
the air. Nevertheless, very small quantities are
released in the course of routine station operation.
The amount is so small, however, that a person
living at the station fence for a year would receive
less radiation from Darlington than from eating
three bananas a month for the same period.
(Bananas contain mildly radioactive potassium.)
An effective shield: storing used fuel
The spent fuel bundles are also radioactive, and
must be carefully stored and shielded.
Water provides a highly effective barrier to
radiation and so the bundles are stored in a
specially designed pool inside a building
attached to the reactor units.
All employees at Darlington — from the
technician testing air samples to the worker
who operates equipment to store the used fuel
bundles — make it their job to ensure that
radioactive materials are handled responsibly.

TRITIUM: PREVENTING THE BUILDUP
One by-product of a nuclear reaction is tritium, a
radioactive form of hydrogen.
Tritium can build up in the heavy water that cools CANDU
nuclear reactors. A tritium removal facility at Darlington
extracts the substance from heavy water. The tritium is
then stored on the site.
4 Even though Darlington keeps tritium levels low, its presence
in the reactor cooling system means that very small
quantities are released during normal operation. Darlington
personnel constantly monitor lake water so that levels are
kept well within government -regulated standards — in other
words, the water is completely safe to drink.

DARLING -TON NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
A PART OF THE
LANDSCAPE
What is the impact?
Any operation the size of Darlington has an
impact on the landscape around it.
The question is: What kind of impact does is have?
The economic impact is certainly positive. The
station employs local people and buys over a
million dollars worth of products and services
from local businesses every year.
Beyond economics
But Darlington connects with the community in
other ways, too. Funds from the station helped
build and equip the Clarington firehall, and
train its personnel.
In recent years, Darlington has also been
opening up much of its 485 hectares as a
recreational resource. Seven kilometres of trail
that wind through grasslands, farm fields and
forests on the site are now part of Ontario's
Waterfront Trail system. Much of the work on
the Darlington section was done by volunteers
from the station and the local community.
An exercise loop makes up part of
the trail, and joggers and walkers
can pause by a thriving wetlands
area to watch some of the 200
species of birds and animals that
call Darlington home.
The trail, however, is just a
beginning. Representatives of
the community are working with
the management of Darlington to
find other recreational uses for
the site — and other ways that the
station can make a contribution
to the landscape that surrounds it.

t
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
THE MOST CAREFULLY
WATCHED STATION
j
The people who designed and built
Darlington were concerned not only
with its impact on the people
around it, but on other life as well.
One example of that concern is the
• 1 V
i
design of the structures that take
water from the lake as part of the
station's cooling system and then
return it. The structures were
specially built to minimize damage
to nearshore fish spawning grounds.
And the commitment to care for
the local environment has
continued. No other nuclear plant
in Ontario has been the subject of a
'
more intensive study of
environmental impacts on fish,
birds and animal life.

DARLINGTON NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
Darlington and the future
Darlington was a costly station to build. But it's
an investment that will pay dividends well into
the 21st century
Many of those dividends will be economic ones.
As Ontario continues to grow, so will demand
for electricity — to light our homes and run our
businesses. And because of Darlington, the
demand will be met.
Dividends for the environment, too
Darlington also represents a long-term investment
in the environment. As concerns mount over the
effects of acid and greenhouse gases in our fragile
atmosphere, Darlington will continue to produce
large quantities of power without damaging the
environment.
In fact, Darlington has already made industrial
history by becoming the first nuclear station in
North America to be certified under the tough
ISO 14001 environmental standard.
The promise of power and people
When planners at Ontario Hydro first envisaged
Darlington, their goal was to build a safe, clean
and abundant source of energy on the shores of
Lake Ontario. Today, through a unique marriage
of advanced technology and committed people,
that goal has been realized — and will continue
to be realized tomorrow.
