SUMMARY OF CORRESPONDENCE
MAY 10, 1999
CORRESPONDENCE TO BE RECEIVED FOR INFORMATION
1-1 Ontario Power Generation forwarding a report card for the Darlington Nuclear
Generating Station. Performance Report Cards are published monthly by Ontario Power
Generation (OPG) to measure the effectiveness of its operations. The performance of
OPG's nuclear stations is evaluated against nuclear industry standards. Note:
Performance listed worse than target is not an indication that reactors are unsafe. (A
copy of the report is attached to the Summary of Correspondence.)
(Receive for Information)
1-2 York Land Stewardship forwarding a Media Release entitled "Decline of World Forests
is also a Local Issue." They refer specifically to York Region and the GTA. Ministry of
Natural Resources data from 1981 and 1995 shows a continuing decrease in forest cover
throughout the area. The forest cover within York Region has dropped from about 18%
in 1981 to about 14% in 1995. Across 23 municipalities of the GTA, forest cover has
been reduced from about 19% to about 16 %. This has taken place in a mere fifteen year
period. Forest cover is important to our communities and to society as it not only
provides living areas for many plant and animal species but as our population increases,
trees and vegetation help improve the air we breathe and conserve our water resources.
They are suggesting that the public should consider attending a two day conference, June
9 and 10, 1999, at Trent University in Peterborough. This conference will bring together
landowners, municipal planners, policy makers, scientists, and naturalists to find
solutions to this growing program.
(Receive for information)
1-3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation forwarding a News Release entitled "Rainbow Trout
Spawning Habits Change Due to Low Water Levels." The Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority has received many calls from concerned citizens of the watershed
regarding the rainbow trout migrations that are currently taking place in the creeks.
Local residents have noticed the trout are unable to bypass obstructions in their path such
as beaver dams and weirs due to low water levels and are concerned about the fish's
spawning season. CLOCA advises that there is no cause for concern. Rainbow trout
will spawn downstream of these obstructions and then head back to Lake Ontario if low
water levels persist.
(Receive for Information)
1-4 The Honourable Al Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, advising that on
March 23, The Honourable Ernie Eves, Minister of Finance, advised of the government's
decision to cost share 50% of the approved municipal costs of public health and land
ambulance services, effective January 1. 1999. Since then, several municipalities have
indicated the need for more time to incorporate reduced Local Services Realignment
(LSR) program costs, particularly reduced land ambulance and public health costs as a
result of the new cost - sharing arrangements, and any recently allocated Special
Circumstances Funding into their budgetary calculations.
Summary of Correspondence - 2 - May 10, 1999
For municipalities that may need more time to incorporate this information into their
1999 decision making, the government has decided to extend the deadline for passing
upper -tier rating by -laws until June 30, 1999. A regulation will be filed shortly to give
effect to this change.

Environment ", CLOCA Board of Directors Pass 1999 Budget." At the Board's meeting
on Tuesday, April 20, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the Authority's budget for
1999. Russ Powell, Chief Administrative Officer of the Authority states that for over 40
years CLOCA has provided watershed services in Durham Region. Everyone lives in a
watershed and the financial assistance from Durham Region to the Authority contributes
to the health and maintenance of the watershed lands, streams and water quality. A few
of the environmental projects currently in progress for 1999 include:

I —11 Federation of Canadian Municipalities forwarding a Members' Advisory entitled "FCM's
Affordability and Choice Today Program Gets Funding for Three More Years." One
million, fifty thousand dollars has been committed over the next three years to develop
innovative housing solutions within the FCM administered Affordability and Choice
Today program. The aim of the Program, known as A -C -T for short, is to reduce
unnecessary regulations and to streamline municipal approval procedures. Regulatory
reform is necessary because they need to encourage innovative approaches to improve
affordability for first time home buyers, low income families, special need groups, the
homeless and address NIMBY (not in my back yard) concerns. Grants up to $20,000 are
provided to municipal governments, builders and developers to work together to identify,
test and develop innovative housing projects that respond to an aging population, a
growing number of singles, immigrants, single parent and smaller households, an aging
housing stock and emerging technologies.

1-12 Darcy McNeill, Executive Director, Aluminum Marketing Council, advises that with
over $12 billion invested in the national economy over the past decade, the aluminum
industry is a true economic force. The environmental record of the metal is sound and
the contribution aluminum has to offer to global — and local'— environmental challenges
is substantial. The Aluminum Marketing Council (AMC) has been formed with the goal
of promoting the high intrinsic value of aluminum. The AMC's membership includes
major aluminum producers and manufacturers of aluminum products. In spite of
aluminum's importance to the Canadian economy and its high recycling value, some
regulatory barriers prevent its wider use. These barriers create a playing field between
aluminum and its competitors that is not level. The aluminum beverage can is the only
packaging container that consistently covers the cost of its own collection and processing.
In fact, due to its high value as a recyclable material, the aluminum beverage can actually
subsidizes the collection of other recyclable materials.

Summary of Correspondence - 4 - May 10, 1999
1-13 Claude Cantin, President, Federation of Canadian Municipalities, forwarding a guidebook
for local governments to assist with Y2K compliance efforts. He states that since
municipal governments are primary public agents supporting Canada's quality of life, the
importance of millennium readiness to the health, safety, security and economic well-
being of Canadians cannot be understated. FCM encourages all municipalities to be
ready for the Year 2000 challenge. Readiness simply is prudent management.

reconciled, namely the position of certain Quebecers who wish at all costs
to give themselves a country where they will constitute a majority and the
position of those Canadians of Quebec who wish to live in the country that
their ancestors built and which has developed over time thanks to the co-
operation of all citizens, no matter what their origin.

He is requesting approval of the creation of an independent national

chaos, even violence. He advises that there are only seven countries in the
world that permit the detachment, dismemberment or secession of part of
their territory, but in each case, these countries have given themselves
rules to abide by, either by legislation or their constitution, and states that
we cannot in any way, tolerate that the next referendum take place without
the knowledge of what awaits us in its wake.

SUMMARY OF CORRESPONDENCE

CORRESPONDENCE TO BE RECEIVED FOR INFORMATION
I — 1 Ontario Power Generation forwarding a report card for the Darlington Nuclear
Generating Station. Performance Report Cards are published monthly by Ontario Power
Generation (OPG) to measure the effectiveness of its operations. The performance of
OPG's nuclear stations is evaluated against nuclear industry standards. Note:
Performance listed worse than target is not an indication that reactors are unsafe. (A
copy of the report is attached to the Summary of Correspondence.)
(Receive for Information)
1-2 York Land Stewardship forwarding a Media Release entitled "Decline of World Forests
is also a Local Issue." They refer specifically to York Region and the GTA. Ministry of
Natural Resources data from 1981 and 1995 shows a continuing decrease in forest cover
throughout the area. The forest cover within York Region has dropped from about 18%
in 1981 to about 14% in 1995. Across 23 municipalities of the GTA, forest cover has
been reduced from about 19% to about 16%. This has taken place in a mere fifteen year
period. Forest cover is important to our communities and to society as it not only
provides living areas for many plant and animal species but as our population increases,
trees and vegetation help improve the air we breathe and conserve our water resources.
They are suggesting that the public should consider attending a two day conference, June
9 and 10, 1999, at Trent University in Peterborough. This conference will bring together
landowners, municipal planners, policy makers, scientists, and naturalists to find
solutions to this growing program.

1-3 Central Lake Ontario Conservation forwarding a News Release entitled "Rainbow Trout
Spawning Habits Change Due to Low Water Levels." The Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority has received many calls from concerned citizens of the watershed
regarding the rainbow trout migrations that are currently taking place in the creeks.
Local residents have noticed the trout are unable to bypass obstructions in their path such
as beaver dams and weirs due to low water levels and are concerned about the fish's
spawning season. CLOCA advises that there is no cause for concern. Rainbow trout
will spawn downstream of these obstructions and then head back to Lake Ontario if low
water levels persist.

indicated the need for more time to incorporate reduced Local Services Realignment
(LSR) program costs, particularly reduced land ambulance and public health costs as a
result of the new cost-sharing arrangements, and any recently allocated Special
Circumstances Funding into their budgetary calculations.
Summary of Correspondence - 2 - May 10, 1999
For municipalities that may need more time to incorporate this information into their
1999 decision making, the government has decided to extend the deadline for passing
upper -tier rating by-laws until June 30, 1999. A regulation will be filed shortly to give
effect to this change.

I — 11 Federation of Canadian Municipalities forwarding a Members' Advisory entitled "FCM's
Affordability and Choice Today Program Gets Funding for Three More Years." One
million, fifty thousand dollars has been committed over the next three years to develop
innovative housing solutions within the FCM administered Affordability and Choice
Today program. The aim of the Program, known as A -C -T for short, is to reduce
unnecessary regulations and to streamline municipal approval procedures. Regulatory
reform is necessary because they need to encourage innovative approaches to improve
affordability for first time home buyers, low income families, special need groups, the
homeless and address NIMBY (not in my back yard) concerns. Grants up to $20,000 are
provided to municipal governments, builders and developers to work together to identify,
test and develop innovative housing projects that respond to an aging population, a
growing number of singles, immigrants, single parent and smaller households, an aging
housing stock and emerging technologies.

1-12 Darcy McNeill, Executive Director, Aluminum Marketing Council, advises that with
over $12 billion invested in the national economy over the past decade, the aluminum
industry is a true economic force. The environmental record of the metal is sound and
the contribution aluminum has to offer to global — and local'— environmental challenges
is substantial. The Aluminum Marketing Council (AMC) has been formed with the goal
of promoting the high intrinsic value of aluminum. The AMC's membership includes
major aluminum producers and manufacturers of aluminum products. In spite of
aluminum's importance to the Canadian economy and its high recycling value, some
regulatory barriers prevent its wider use. These barriers create a playing field between
aluminum and its competitors that is not level. The aluminum beverage can is the only
packaging container that consistently covers the cost of its own collection and processing.
In fact, due to its high value as a recyclable material, the aluminum beverage can actually
subsidizes the collection of other recyclable materials.

being of Canadians cannot be understated. FCM encourages all municipalities to be

Res. # 37199
Moved by: Ken Gadsden
Seconded by: John Byrne
Resolved, That, the 1998 financial statements as prepared by McColl Turner be received and
approved as presented.
CARRIED
Arising from the financial statements, it was noted that construction of the beach playground
had been deferred last year and hence the associated funding appeared as year end surplus
within the unrestricted fund balance. In order that these funds might be applied to the
playground construction in 1999, a motion was needed to take them from the unrestricted fun(
balance.
Res. # 38/99
Moved by: Ken Gadsden
Seconded by: Doc Savage
Resolved, That, $10,000.00 deferred from the 1998 budget be taken from the unrestricted
fund balance to be used for the creation of the beach playground.
_:: D
Conservation Ontario Provincial Marketing Plan
A summary of the marketing and fundraising plan, developed by Conservation Ontario was
presented. Each conservation authority is being asked to participate in this effort in order tha
promotion and revenue generation might be had. Participation involves providing seed mone
in order to get the initiative up and running. If we choose not to participate at the beginning,
there is not the option of participating at a later date. While we are being asked to contribute
$3,580.02 now, it was recognized that if other conservation authorities did not participate, we
might be able to further participate and thus receive greater revenues. On this thought it wa
suggested that we authorize more than the immediate need in order to maintain flexibility. It
was understood that funding for this year's contribution would have to come from the
unrestricted fund balance and that next year's contribution would have to be considered with
the budget process.
Res. # 39/99 Moved by: John Byrne
Seconded by: Wayne Hutchinson
Resolved, That, Kawartha Conservation participate in the province wide conservation
marketing and fundraising program, Conservation Journeys, through Conservation Ontario
and provide up to $4,000.00 in start up funding for the program in two instalments to
Conservation Ontario, the first half of this funding being contributed in July, 1999 and the
-5 -
second half being contributed in January 2000; and,
That, the July, 1999 instalment be obtained from the unrestricted fund balance; and,
Furthermore, That, if more than $4,000.00 total funding is required a meeting of the Board of
Directors will be convened.
CARRIED
GIS Presentation
Ex -officio member Noreen Kelly gave a presentation on GIS, outlining its component parts anc
applications. She demonstrated GIS usage with an example of layering information onto a
base map in order to determine cumulative constraints and ultimate potentials. This
Presentation gave everyone a better understanding of how GIS will be used for compiling
environmental information and using it with the decision making process.
Discussion on Governance
Governance was again brought forward for consideration by the membership
Res. # 40/99
Moved by: Ken Gadsden
Seconded by: Don Money
Resolved, That, the existing governance model be used until such time as another model is
brought forward by a member of the Board.
CARRIED
New Business
1. Thank you Correspondence:
Students from Ridgewood Public School sent Kawartha Conservation thank you notes for our
provision of funding to them from the Youth for Conservation Endowment Fund.
2. Vandalism:
Vandalism was a problem within the conservation areas last year and this year it appears to
be starting again. The vault privy at Pigeon River Headwaters was recently burned. This
could have caused the entire area to burn, but fortunately did not. At the same time, three
picnic tables were destroyed and beer bottles smashed. Recently at Ken Reid, three picnic
tables were destroyed and fires were set in the fields (they did not get out of hand, but the fear
that they could remains). Staff suggested that security patrols be considered in order to
hopefully apprehend the vandals, lessen the damage, and avoid the potential for wide spread
fire. This was fully discussed by the Board of Directors. It was suggested that broken items
not be replaced and that the entrance gates might be closed at the end of the work day and
on weekends. Public access would then be via walk in only. It was suggested that
advertisements be placed in newspapers, and that signs be posted in the conservation areas.
Concern was expressed over the cost of security patrols throughout the summer. It was
suggested that perhaps patrols could be had in the early summer and that this might suffice.
Res. # 41/99 Moved by: Don Money
Seconded by: Laura Whitehead
Resolved, That, Kawartha Conservation seek media coverage on vandalism, ask for
increased OPP patrol, and purchase $2,500.00 of security patrol in'order to curb vandalism.
CARRIED
3. Vehicle Replacement
Staff reported that the 1991 Cavalier needed extensive work in order to meet minimum safety
standards and that a new vehicle should be considered. Members asked if leasing were
better than purchasing. Mr. Shennett answered that from his perspective as our auditor,
purchasing was likely preferred. A member suggested that perhaps a used vehicle might be
satisfactory. It was suggested that an ad hoc committee be formed to investigate and act on
vehicle replacement.
Res. # 42/99 Moved by: John Byrne
Seconded by: Wayne Hutchinsor
Resolved, That, Kawartha Conservation replace the 1991 Cavalier with the best suitable
vehicle; and,
That, an ad hoc committee composed of Dave Marsh, Peter Young, and Ken Found
investigate and act on the purchase and/or lease of said vehicle.
CARRIED
4. Friends Dinner -roast:
John Byrne reported that preparations for this Saturday's dinner -roast of John O'Reilly are
finalized and that it should be a fun and successful evening. He urged all members to
participate.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:17 p.m.

Time: 6:00 p.m.
Attendance: David Ashcroft, Port Darlington Community Association
Mavis Carlton, Port Darlington Community Association
Glenda Gies, Port Darlington Community Association
Anthony Skinner, Aspen Spring Community Association
Lynn Davidson, Blue Circle Cement
Carol Chisholm, Blue Circle Cement

Cynthia Strike, Municipality of Clarington
Regrets: Kathlynn Hoch, Aspen Springs Community Association
Status of Cove Road Expropriation
C. Strike informed the Committee that the decision on the Cove Road
expropriation has been received. The decision is in favour of the Municipality
expropriating the lands necessary for the reconstruction of Cove Road and a
bridge over the mouth of Westside Creek. A report will be prepared,
recommending to Council that the Municipality proceed with the expropriation.
Construction will not begin until the Municipality has both title and possession of
the lands, and the timing falls within the appropriate window for constructing in
the creek, likely in July. There will be a public information centre prior to the
construction to inform the public of construction details.
ACTION: F. lerfino shall inform the Committee when the Public Information
Centre shall be held.
2. Review and Adoption of Previous Minutes
The Notes from the January 18th, 1999 meeting were reviewed. There was some
discussion related to the items in the Notes.
a) The haul road was discussed. Over the pass few months, some repairs to
the road have been made but they usually does not last long. Public
Works will monitor the road and try to maintain a level of repair.
ACTION: F. lerfino will investigate whether a solid surface can be applied
rather then just patching the potholes.
NOTES OF MEETING —
Blue Circle Cement Community Relations Committee Page 2
b) D. Ashcroft appeared before Council with comments on Mrs. Dostie's
request for input from the Community Relations Committee. His
presentation is attached hereto.
In response to the Committee's request for a noise monitoring study for the
Dostie and Coelen property, L. Davidson suggested that Blue Circle would
encourage Mrs. Dostie to contact the Ministry of Environment and request a
noise monitoring study to ensure unbiased information. Blue Circle had
monitored the noise in November and December. L. Davidson to share the
results of the noise monitoring with the Committee at the next meeting. The
Committee subsequently recommended that the Municipality ask the Ministry of
Environment to conduct the noise study in hopes that they will be successful in
achieving a study before the removal of overburden is complete, in May.
ACTION: C. Strike will request the Ministry do the monitoring.
ACTION: C. Strike will try again to get someone from MOE to discuss dust
and emissions.
c) L. Davidson requested some clarification on the tree planting proposal
from the last meeting. D. Ashcroft noted that tree planting be done over
the long term, on permanent berms, and in small sections. This would
allow the participation by the community to create habitat and create more
effective barriers.
ACTION: L. Davidson to examine what berms can be planted and when.
d) C. Chisholm provided the Committee with an update on a previous action
item regarding monitoring of dust and other air bourne materials in the
plant. C. Chisholm noted that Blue Circle monitors for silica, and according
to a recent monitoring, the silica levels are within the required limits.
e) Medical Study information that K. Hoch was to inquire about is still
outstanding.
The Notes were adopted.
3. Presentation of Fugitive Emissions
L. Davidson discussed fugitive emissions and how Blue Circle manages them.
NOTES OF MEETING —
Blue Circle Cement Community Relations Committee Page 3
The sources of fugitive emissions are limited to particulate matter rather than
vehicle exhaust emissions. Open sources tend to be the result of wind or
movement or machinery or storage piles, some sources include unpaved roads,
bare ground, fields, piles, loading and dumping of raw aggregate, dirt etc.
L. Davidson discussed how Blue Circle manages these emissions. Street
sweeping, water flushing, liquid suppressant (soil-sement), calcium chloride,
water and upgrading and paving of roads. Storage piles are treated with
vegetation, wet suppression, placement design, placement timing and the
placement of a barrier.
Water leaving the plant must be tested for pH levels, total suspended solids and
toxicity. It must meet with MOE standards. Blue Circle is required to submit
result monitoring to the Ministry quarterly. If it does not meet Ministry standards
then monitoring must be done monthly until it meets the standards, then quarterly
monitoring can resume.
If the monitoring of dust exceeds Ministry levels, the Ministry often contacts Blue
Circle and suggests that some reductions be made.
The Port Darlington Community Association has received information through the
Freedom of Information Act, which shows what type of emissions, the location of
the monitoring units across southern Ontario and levels of emissions. Blue Circle
needs to be aware of where they stand in light of Provincial findings. The fugitive
emissions control plans could greatly benefit from having the provincial data so
as to be utilized in its long-term planning and dust abatement efforts.
The discussion on fugitive emissions was informative. The presentation is
attached hereto.

PUBLIC RADIATION EXPOSURE WELL BELOW LIMITS
Ottawa — The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) now includes the Bruce nuclear
generating station in its reporting of public exposure levels to radiation. As has been the
experience over the last four years at the Darlington and Pickering stations, the public radiation
exposures in the third and fourth quarters of 1998 remained extremely low at all three facilities
— well below regulatory limits.
During the three-month period ending December 31, 1998, the public radiation doses due to the
operation of the Darlington, Pickering and Bruce stations were 0.9, 3.6 and 1.0 microsieverts,
respectively. In comparison, a typical chest X-ray produces a dose of approximately
70 microsieverts, while a person flying from Toronto to Vancouver and back would be exposed
to about 20 microsieverts from cosmic radiation.
The public radiation exposure indicated in the Radiation Index are for the most exposed persons,
typically those living just outside the boundary of the nuclear generating station. Most people in
the region would have received less, since radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance
from the stations increases.
Dosage levels are recorded in the Radiation Index, a quarterly newsletter produced by the AECB.
It is now available on the .AECB website www.gc.ca/aecb.
The Atomic Energy Control Board regulates nuclear facilities and uses of radioactive materials
in Canada for the purpose of preventing undue risk to public health, safety, security and the
environment. Later this year, the AECB will become the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
when the Nuclear Safety and Control Act comes into force.

KEEPING TRACK OF RADIATION FROM
NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN ONTARIO
The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) created the Radiation Index in 1994 as an
information bulletin to inform the public of the radiation exposure from the Pickering and
Darlington nuclear generating stations. Radiation Index now includes the Bruce nuclear
generating station in its reporting.
The Atomic Energy Control Board is an independent regulatory body which regulates the health.
safety and environmental aspects of all nuclear facilities and all uses of radioactive materials in
Canada.
Radiation is a form of energy which travels through space in the form of waves or streams of
panicles. There are many kinds of radiation, such as sound, light, heat, and radio and television
signals. A specific type of radiation, called ionizing radiation, can cause changes in the cells of
living tissue, and if enough of this form of radiation is absorbed, the cells may be altered or
destroyed. Every day, we are exposed to ionizing radiation from the sun and outer space, the
earth we walk on, the houses and buildings we live in, the food and water we consume, and from
the air we breathe. This naturally occurring radiation is known as background radiation, and it
constitutes by far our largest exposure. It cannot be controlled or regulated, and it varies greatly
from place to place.
In addition to this natural radiation, we are exposed to artificial sources of ionizing radiation such
as X-rays and radioactive materials released during the normal operation of nuclear power
stations. This artificial radiation can be controlled, and the AECB imposes strict limits on the
amount of radioactivity that can be released by nuclear stations or other facilities where
radioactive materials are used. These limits are set at levels low enough to protect workers and
the public from adverse health effects.
The Radiation Index stemmed from a health study committee in Ontario's Durham region which,
in 1990, recommended the publication of a radiation exposure index from the Darlington nuclear
station.The AECB developed Radiation Index in cooperation with representatives from
provincial and federal ministries, local health authorities, Ontario Power Generation (formerly
Ontario Hydro), and the local community. The Radiation Index contains a graphic presentation
showing the radiation doses to the public due to emissions from the station, as compared to the
doses from other sources. The radiation dose is a measure of the quantity of radiation absorbed
by the body. It is normally measured in units of millisieverts (one thousandth of a sievert) or in
microsieverts (one millionth of a sievert). The latter unit is used in the Radiation Index.

To calculate the radiation dose to the public, all the different pathways by which the
radioactivity reaches people must be determined. These pathways include eating locally grown
food or fish caught near the station, drinking water from local sources, and exposure to
radioactive material in the air and in the environment. The doses indicated in the Radiation Index
are calculated by using actual data from the analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation, as
well actual measurements of emissions from around the station.
The doses indicated in the Radiation Index are for the most exposed persons living near the
station. These doses apply to a hypothetical exposure by a person living just outside the station
boundary who are at their residence 24 hours a day, and who eat and drink local produce and
water. Most persons in the Bruce, Pickering and Darlington areas would actually receive less
than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits and live farther away from the
stations. Radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the station increases.
The AECB plans to provide similar reports for Canada's other nuclear power stations.

The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station.
They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their
residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were
calculated using actual data from routine analysis of air, water, fish and vegetation samples. as
well as station emission data.
Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because_ they have different
eating habits or live farther away from the station. nadialion doses decrease significantly as the
distance from the station increases.
Since the pathway for liquid emissions is less dominant, mcre than 9010 of the radiation dcse
received from the stations was due to air emissions.
