1.2 Subsequent, on May 2, 1994, the Director provided a confidential
verbal report updating Council of the negotiations with the
Regional staff and advised that the demolition and land exchange
may materialize this fall.
2. THE LAND EXCHANGE
2.1 The lands that will be transferred to the Municipality include the
Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plant Site and the Low Lift
Pumping Station Site (see Attachment No. 1), totally approximately
5.8 acres of land with the Region retaining several easements for
both existing and future sanitary sewers and watermains.
2.2 In exchange, the Municipality will transfer to the Region a 1.68
acre property adjacent to the existing Water Supply Plant (see
Attachment No. 2). The Region's land acquisition will facilitate
future expansion of the Bowmanville Water Supply Plant or the Port
Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant.
2.3 The value of the lands in question have been estimated at equal
value by both Regional and Municipal staff and the land swap is
considered fair and equity to both parties.

Municipality requires the following:
a) decommissioning, demolition and rehabilitation of the Soper
Creek Water Pollution Control Plan site; and
b) removal of all equipments and provision of a level concrete
floor within the Low Lift Pumping Station.
These two matters are addressed as follows.

of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station Account "A ", a reserve
fund was set up in the name of the Municipality of Clarington. The
agreement specifically identifies the demolition of the Soper Creek
W.P.C.P. as one of the items to be paid for from the fund. Access
to the fund is dependant upon the Councils of the Region of Durham
and the Municipality of Clarington passing resolutions approving
the use of the fund. According to Regional Staff, the estimated
cost of decommissioning, demolition and site rehabilitation for the
Soper Creek Water Pollution Control Plant is $160,000.
4. LOW LIFT PUMPING STATION
The Region staff are agreeable to the Municipality's request to
have all surplus equipments inside the building removed and to
provide a level concrete floor. The cost of the above works is
estimated to be $15,000. which is being borne by the Region
independent of the Hydro Reserve Fund.
5. At the time of writing of this Report, Regional staff advised that
they will be presenting a report to the Region's Works Committee
recommending the land swap as well as seeking authorization from
Regional Council for access to the Hydro Reserve Account to carry
out the demolition and clean up.
6. Assuming both Councils endorse their respective staff
recommendations, tender will be called by the Region immediately
and the actual work may commence in the fall. The legal documents
to complete the land transaction will take place after the
Municipality is satisfied with the conditions of the sites.
7. As to the future use of the land, it will be subject to a separate
staff report at a later date.
