Do you have an interest in or specialized knowledge about wildlife, natural heritage, cultural values, tourism, business? If so, the Port Hope Area Initiative would appreciate your input. The current Environmental Assessment (EA) process is an important phase of the Port Hope Area Initiative for the long-term management of historic low- level radioactive waste in Port Hope and Clarington. As part of the EA, a preliminary list of Valued Ecosystem Components (VECs) that could be affected by the projects has been identified by consultants in various fields. For the Port Granby Project EA there are five different areas of study: atmospheric, terrestrial, aquatic, geophysical and socio-economic. Specialist consultants and technicians collect currently available information and do their own field studies to compile baseline data. In other words, they are creating a snapshot of conditions existing before the cleanup and construction begin. Now it is time to hear from you -- the people who live and work in Port Hope and Clarington. "Invitations have gone out to about 750 people who have attended other workshops, contacted the Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) for information, or have otherwise shown an interest in the clean-up project," says Sue Stickley, communications officer with the LLRWMO. "But the objective is to have a full public review, and others are certainly welcome to attend." At the workshops the consultants working on the various studies will present preliminary lists of VECs and the public will be asked for additions and comments. Affected by project The workshops are seeking to identify VECs--those elements of the natural, human and social environment that are likely to be affected by . the clean-up projects, says Ms. Stickley. Public consultation specialist, Chris Haussmann says, "Public consultation is critical to this process." "We want the-public and the people who work in the area to review the way we compiled the preliminary lists, comment on the items from their own local or professional knowledge and make suggestions for additions." How workshops work At the workshops, participants will receive information on the VEC identification method and the preliminary VECs suggested for each area. The heart of the evening will be group discussions on the various topic areas with the relevant consultant, Mr. H a u s s m a n n explains. Each participant may select the groups discussing their own areas of interest or expertise. During a brief plenary session at the conclusion, the specialists will summarize . their discussions and the next steps in the EA will be discussed. These VEC Workshops are scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 7-9:30 pm at the Newtonville Community Hall for Port Granby and on Wednesday, March 5, 7- 9:30 pm at the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge Health Unit building, 200 Rose Glen Road, for Port Hope.
