Darlington Information Centre. Ontario Hydro is anticipating that the
preferred route and site will be chosen by the end of 1993, Environmental
Assessment Hearings will be held in 1994 and the facilities should be in
service by the year 2002. The evaluation of alternative routes and sites will
be based on environmental, social, economic and technical considerations and
the involvement of the public. During the Environmental Assessment

and transformerl switching stations will be identifIed. The study will also
consider consolidating or rebuilding existing rights-of-way and the use of
