Report Overview
Page 2
To appoint Nuclear Security Officers, appointed under the Security for Electricity Generating
Facilities and Nuclear Facilities Act, 2014 Sec 3, to carry out the parking enforcement duties
on all lands under the authority of OPG, as Parking Enforcement Officers.
1. Background
In the summer of 2017, Staff were approached by Samantha Piane, Legal Counsel
Ontario Power Generation (OPG), regarding the management of parking. The
management related to accessibility has become a growing concern for patrons and staff
at OPG facility on 1 Holt Rd. Bowmanville. To assist in management of parking issues,
OPG Nuclear Security Officers (NSO) are required to be appointed under Section 15(1)
of the Police Services Act, RSO 1990, c. P.15 to enforce Municipal By-laws.
2. Proposal
Municipal Staff met with Stephen Prior, Security Manager and Alain Levesque, Manager
Facilities & Projects, on site at the Holt Rd OPG Nuclear Station. It was determined steps
would be taken by OPG staff to meet Clarington's Municipal Traffic By-laws criteria for
signage. Following installation of correct signage, NSO's would receive Municipal
training for issuance of Parking Notices.
NSO's are appointed as Peace Officers under Security for Electricity Generating Facilities
and Nuclear Facilities Act, 2014 Sec 3, the appointment is in accordance with Nuclear
Security Regulations SOR/2000-209 Sec18. In addition to the high level of criteria within
Federal regulation, NSO's must meet high standards of professionalism and education
through OPG hiring and training process.
Municipal staff are confident with OPG's Nuclear Security Officers program and high level
of criteria through Federal Regulations that NSO's could carry out the duties of Parking
Officers.
3. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor who concurs with the
recommendations.
4. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the proposed by-law be approved which will appoint
the employees of OPG appointed under the Security for Electricity Generating Facilities
and Nuclear Facilities Act, 2014 Sec 3, to carry out the parking enforcement duties at all
lands under the authority of OPG with in the Municipality of Clarington.
