An Atomic Energy Control Board Member on Thursday told the hearing -that Eldor- ado Nulear wilI be able to use its proposed Port Granby waste management facility only for temporary storage and not a permanent disposaI facility. Later in the -hearing Dr. Henry of AECB said there was no disposal sites in Canada for radioactive ma t- erial. Hé said as of now no solution bas been found that would ensure safe and envir- onmentally permanent dis- posaI. Dr. HIenry said Eldor- ado bas persisted with its proposaI as it bas felt it could sway the Board's position in. this matter. An Eldorado representative said if they were not to be allowed to use the expensive 'Bentonite' sys- tem of burial on a permanent basis they would possibly resort to a cheaper basîs for the temporary storage of wastes. Eldorado has said if they are to change the method of storage or disposal they would voluntarily hold public meetings. Councillor Bob Dykstra in a prsonal presen tation on Fni- day said he>could flot support the propùsýl for the refinery and waste disposal system and would so recommend the Town of Newcastle council that they not support the proposaI. The councillor said that many of the questons being asked by council had not been answered and that the impact'of the refinery on the municipality had remain- ed unanswered as wel]. Dyk- stra could, not supprt a proposaI that a liaison com - mittee be set up to monitor the impact to the municipal- ity. He said the, Town must have firm guarantees that the health and safety of residents in the community will not be jeopardized before such a committee could be set up.

For this reason Eldorado haspublicly said it will not attempt to comply with the Town's planning regulations. Wilîms said if the panel gives approval of therefinery they should attach planning compliance as a condition along with, a second compen- sation agreement. He sugges- ted that Eldorado should sign a similar agreement, as h as Ontario Hydro over the con- struction of the generating station in the Darlington area. Mr. Grant speaking on behaîf of Eldorado said the company could not at this time sign such an'agreement as they were unaware of the content of the agreement. Willms stated that if Eldor- ado did not agree with the municipality's points they could not give support for the proposai at Port Granby. Sister Rosalie Berteli, a cancer research scîentist and acting as an expert witness on behaîf of the panel said al health questions involving radiation should beanswered through medîcal studies before the plant is approved. She said she could not support the construction of the refin- ery. Reg. Lang, another panel member, said hie was disap- pointed at the interest shown by council members both frurn the Townî of Newcastle and the Region of Durham for not showing greater interest in the hearings. He noted that only Counc. Dkystra had made an appearance before the panel in the second phase of the hearings. active in ti According to a year end report to the Ministry of Community and Social Serý- vices by the Regional Co- ordinator of Community Care,' Richard Johnstori, the Town of Newcastle Commun- îty Cane is already saving the government money after only 3 months in operation.
