DELEGATIONS
Bob Stevens addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 6 — Decorative
Display for Bowmanville. Mr. Stevens stated he is a long- standing citizen and
business owner of Bowmanville who would like to leave a legacy to the community
where he grew up by helping to have a decorative display depicting "Bowmanville"
constructed on the south side of Highway 401 at the Liberty Street interchange.
Mr. Stevens stated that every municipality from Oshawa to Belleville has some form of
decorative display and he would like "Bowmanville" to be recognized. Mr. Stevens
presented an artists' rendering of the concept he has in mind, together with a personal
cheque in the amount of $10,000 to help defray costs. Mr. Stevens concluded by
stating he feels this is a reasonable proposal and would like to see the project
completed within his lifetime.
Rob Maitland and David Eva, Sprott Power Corporation, addressed Council
concerning Staff Report #1 - Report PSD- 035 -13 - Industrial Wind Turbines.
Mr. Maitland acknowledged that there has been a request to declare the Municipality
of Clarington an "unwilling" host to wind turbines. Through use of a PowerPoint
presentation, Mr. Maitland and Mr. Eva addressed various aspects of the report
including health concerns and setbacks, compatibility of the project with the Oak
Ridges Moraine, economic and environmental benefits associated with wind projects
in Clarington and clarified facts related to the ZEP Wind Farm Ganaraska relevant to
the recommended action. Mr. Maitland stated that with normal construction mitigation
measures and Best Management Practices, no negative environmental impacts are
anticipated to the Oak Ridges Moraine critical features and functions. Mr. Maitland
highlighted direct and indirect economic benefits associated with wind projects in
Clarington including employment, property tax revenue and contributions towards
local initiatives over the life of the Ganaraska Wind Farm project. He respectfully
requested that Council not declare Clarington an "unwilling host" to wind turbines and
that Council reconsider the comments in the Mayor's letter to Premier Kathleen
Wynne regarding the specific siting issues with the Ganaraska Wind Farm.
Dr. Loren Knopper, Senior Scientist, Intrinsik Environmental Sciences addressed
Council concerning Staff Report #1 - Report PSD- 035 -13 - Industrial Wind Turbines
with respect to science and public health. Dr. Knopper acknowledged the contribution
of Dr. Christopher 011son to tonight's presentation noting that Dr. 011son was not able
to attend this evening. Through use of a PowerPoint presentation Dr. Knopper
discussed human health, weight of scientific evidence and setbacks.
Dr. Knopper stated that while public attitude is generally overwhelmingly in favour of
wind energy this does not always translate into acceptance of local projects. He
indicated that those opposed point to a number of issues concerning wind turbines
including self- reported health effects that a portion of people who live near wind
turbines attribute to them. Dr. Knopper stated the reason for the effects of "Wind
Turbine Syndrome ", the collection of self- reported symptoms of annoyance, sleep
disturbance, tiredness, headache, tinnitus, irritability, nausea and lack of concentration
is highly debated. Dr. Knopper stated that overall, the weight of evidence suggests
that when sited properly, wind turbines are not directly related to adverse health
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - May 13, 2013
effects and that this opinion is supported by a number of government health and
medical agencies. He further stated that he is of the opinion that wind turbine projects
operated in accordance with REA will not cause harm to human health. Dr. Knopper
also indicated that in Ontario, none of the appeals lodged in opposition to wind turbine
projects have been successful.
Heather Rutherford addressed Council, on behalf of Clarington Wind Concerns,
concerning Staff Report #1 - Report PSD- 035 -13 - Industrial Wind Turbines.
Ms. Rutherford thanked Council for their past support of the issues brought forward by
Clarington Wind Concerns regarding Industrial Wind Turbines. Ms. Rutherford
acknowledged the many residents in the gallery this evening who are requesting that
the Municipality declare itself an "unwilling host" to wind turbines. Ms. Rutherford
stated that neither the Federal Government nor the Province has conducted studies
on distance to determine what a safe distance is and what mitigation measures will be
required to ensure wind turbines are safe for the community. She expressed concern
that only three health studies were conducted on the health effects of wind turbines
and distributed a document to Members of Council providing links to professional
bulletins and papers regarding the impairment of health in relation to wind turbines.
Ms. Rutherford stated she was disappointed that the Clarington Board of Trade has
supported the projects and are not representing the interests of the farming
community. Ms. Rutherford questioned how the passing of a resolution to declare
Clarington an "unwilling host" will have a tangible impact on the economy of Clarington
as the Energy Park is still a concept and there is no promise of revenue.
Ms. Rutherford stated she has serious concerns with the process that allows projects
to proceed without a full environmental assessment and asked Council for support to
declare Clarington an "unwilling host" community for industrial wind turbines until
further studies are completed.
Randy Tamlin was called but was not in attendance.
