"«One thing we've always looked at is that it would take at loast two years te construet once we get officiai approval,» said Johannsson.

If moving the lino ana pump- ing station are necessary, it wýîll not be a major job requiring shutting down the plant for any duration, said Johannsson. He added that diverting Prin- gle Creek and relocating the sewer lime, if needed, will not affect nearby homeowners. But Watson St. rosident Rues Wilde disagrees. Wilde sad plans te divert Pringle Creek will move the stream 400 ft. onte his r oerty. al Apparently this w*1lStiR alow Durham te put effluent inte the creek valley ... we don't feel we should have te put up with it,» said Wilde. Johannsson, however, was adamant this will flot occur. "Absolutely not, the sWAe plant does not dump into theè creek,» said Johannsson. Wilde initially. filed an objec- tion with the environnient minis- try over exempting the project from the assessment act. But Wilde withdrew his objec- tion on the condition that rosi-, dents' concerns about potential flooding from work on the exten- sion beé addressed by project designers. Specifically residents are wor- ried that a Lridge planned for Victeria St., east of Brock St., will remove an embankment that now serves as a dam on Pringle Creek. Removing heembankment and a 12f. culvert under the street will mean that in the event of a major sterm, nearby houses will be flooded, say rosi- dents. However, GO ofÉlcials say dvertin rnl Creek te, the east wlaleiat ny problems. The extension of GO service from Whitby te Oshawa is part of an overali $400 million project.
