Ron Eiiis was a native of Lindsaywhere he grew up piaying hockey and hopeful of one day piaying in the NUL. by John Veldhuis The Newcastle Community' Liaison Group Update, wishes to explain why the driliing programn has taken so long to get underway. When we first set the parameters of the driliing program on site to find out more about the materiai that is there and to check on the information that we have obtained from bore holes, we were optimistic that we could get started on it right away. However, upon checking with the regulatory bodies it became apparent that bureaucratie constraints were going to slow down our optimfistic stand. The site being a low level nuclear waste disposai site is Iicensed under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Control Board. In order to do any work there, to remove even the contents of the bore holes, to do any driiling or do anything on the site a new licence had to be drafted and put into place. This takes time, is something that we overlooked, we were amiss and bad optimism drive us rather than ail the fine points of the bureaucratie process. 'Me site is owned by Cameco, and thereforetheir permission also needed to be given. Ail of these considerations took time. A shed had to be built to house the core samples. That to bas to go througb a series of approvals and again, this takes turne. We just need to make sure that ail of the i's are dotted and ail of the t's are crossed., The programn of driliing bas begun and wili continue. We are confident that -the agencies will work as fast as they can to accommodate requests for further information. We are ail workmng in this co-operativeiy, we are al working towards the same goal. The problem is simply that it needs to be looked at and deait with due consideration to the requirements of the iaw as weil as the technical requirements. Therefore it took longer than anticipated, however, we are optimistie that once the information is availabie we will be pieased to present it to you at your request. Meanwhile, the program of, tests outside the site for background levels wil proceed a. quickly as possible as weil and wý,_ wiii kecep you informed of the progress of that prograrn Once we receive it. 1The program of epiderniologicai studies bas had a set back since the person who was going to do the study bas accepted a job in Europe therefore we are looking for new personnel to complete the work that had been requested. We wiii keep you informed as soon as we have a new naine or names of person or person able to do the job correctly, effectively and efficiently. This heaitb s tudy bas been requested now for a long turne by the people o f Port Granby and we wish to make sure that it is completed according to their wishes. -The process works because you ask and we carry requests to Ottawa for implementation. Please continue to keep_ involved, informed and interested in our progress.
