The report was presented to town councillors and staff at the Hydro Liaison committee meeting on Friday, December 4. While the report concluded that generally the impacts wouldn't be significant, it did outline the financial, financial, economic and population benefits benefits to the local area since the project project started in 1978. The Town of Newcastle has grown from a population of 32,163 in 1979 to 34,817 in 1986. Population projections for 1992 predict that the municipality will grow to 43,629, according to the report.

For the same time period, the 1986 Town of Newcastle Newcastle Hydro population is expected to fall from 2,619 to 633. Frçm a survey of Hydro employees done in early 1987, the study concludes concludes that there are two ways that the out-going population will move. Scenario A is constructed using the results of the survey. Hydro workers were asked about their intentions to stay or move from their homes once employment with the Darlington Generating Station was completed. For this case it is assumed that Hydro workers intending to stay in the area could find jobs without displacing current residents from their jobs. Under Scenario A conditions, the report report says that 916 would be leaving the municipality. Scenario B is also derived using the results of the survey conducted earlier earlier this year. The one major difference difference is the assumption that Hydro workers deciding to stay in the Town of Newcastle would do so at the expense expense of other workers.

He had become Erin's favorite and was greatly missed Total Trash Pickup But the Plonks weren't the only ones who read the notice in the newspaper newspaper with interest.

They could result in the Town of Newcastle having to make a financial contribution, according according to Mr. McCorkell. Another alternative is for garbage to go to the transfer station on Ritson Road in Oshawa, where the same situation situation would occur. Councillor Arnot Wotten thinks that one solution to the problem might be to spend the money saved upon closing the transfer station on the tendering of a town-wide garbage collection contract.

"We are going to have more and more garbage piled up at the sides of roads (with the closing of the transfer station)," he added. Councillor Ann Cowman wants to know what the costs implications are for the rural and urtym collection. She also expressed concerns that if the transfer station licence runs out and an extension is denied it will be close to impossible to have it renewed. renewed.
