Repairs for Hampton Pond Down by the old miii stream in the village of Hampton, repairs are getting underway. According to Bob Allen, conservation area supervisor for the Central Lake Ontario Conservation authority (CLOCA), repairs to the Hampton miii pond will cost $2,500 to $3,000. Those repairs would include filling in a hole caused by erosion, repairs on the spillway and new logs for the dam. Mr. Allen described the renovations as something that couldn't wait. The four foot hole, caused, by erosion is under part of Mill street and it will have to be filled with rock s and pieces of concrete. Something that will have to wait until next year is a project that would remove a buildup of sult from the floor of the Hampton Pond and use the sult to shore up the banks. Mr. Allen said that because of the wet spring weather it isn't nnoçsible to eet. ecuinment Des cribes Week at Forum for Young Ccinadions equi pment to remove the sult. H1e said the Hampton pond is important to the village and that residents wouldn't want to have their pond empty for the next two months. In addition, Mr. Allen said that the empty pond would produce an objectional smell. Another problem relating to the drainage of the, pond centres around wildlife. Steve Russell, president of the South Central Ontario Big Game Association has suggested that wildlife in the Hampton pond may have been damaged due to the drainage. H1e said the first hatch could have already been destroyed. "I1 personally question that," Mr. Allen said. H1e added that even though the pond has been drained, ducks have been able to> nest in fiooded areas nearby., How- ever, he admits that there may not be as many ducks in the pond this year. ont te foo ofth emty The Hampton pond was pono.H esae d ?that i drained last December shortly would take two months for the after CLOCA took over, the pond to become dry enough to property. t was later refilled support equipment and for the and used as a skating rink.

The 500,000 kilowatt unit had been out of production since March 31, due to, a damaged conductor in its generator. During the shut down, Hydro also decided to repair 10 seal joints in the cooling system. Unit 4 was also out of service for about 10 months during the latter haif of 1975 and the eariy part of 1976 while 52 faulty pressure tubes were being repaired. The leaking joints were not direct- ly associated with the earier problem. There was no release of radioactivity to the atmos- phere and no hazard to the general public or station staff during either shut down. Pickering's threereang generators ran at virtually ful capacity while Unit 4, was experiencing its probiems. The station, which became the world leader in nuclear energy production in mid January, has produced more than 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. t costs about $5,000 per hour to burn alternate fuels to replace Pickering's nuclear energy.
