6- Orono WNeekly Tunes, Wednesday, januar> LSth, 19775 ee r Eldorado purchases Port Granby acreage Port Granby area environ- mentalists are preparing to step up their campaign again- st Eldorado Nulear Ltd. following the company's an- nouncement it has bought 657 acres in the area to buiid an $80-million uranium refinerv and radioactive waste dispos- ai unît. John Veldhuis, president of Save the Environment from Atomic Pollution (SEAP) said bis group wiil meet with its iawyers to explore possible ways of halting construction of the controversial plant. He also said SEAP is planning a fund-raising camn- paign to finance opposition to what he terrned "a perfectiy ridiculous" deveiopment. "We have flot yet begun to fight," added Mr. Veldhuis. "We have been 'Mr. Nice Guy' so far, but now we'll get a littie nastier." Gordon Coiborne, generai manager of operations for Eldorado, said Friday the Crown corporation hopes to begin production at the plan- ned refinery by 1980. The facility would employ 150 people on a regular basîs and 350 druing construction. Before the project can get off the ground, various levels of government will have to give their approval. The federai governînent mnust pass Eidorado's 1977 capital budget, an environ- me*l impact study must be completed and public hear- ings held~ The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) must also give approval because the plant woul produce nuclear fuel. The Port Granby site resul- ted from the purchase of four local farms, despite protest from many area residents who are SEAP members. Mr. Coîbourne said the refinery's impact on the environment "wîll be insignif- icant an~d the plant wili be of substantiai economnic benefit to this community and ail of Canada." Mr. Veldluuis accused Eld- orado and the AECB of "collusion" in settlirig on the Port Granby site. He expiained the company will likely use the area to dump radioactive waste mat- eriai that bas collected a- round Port Hope over the past 25 years, as well as from the new facility. "It appears to be a package deal," continued the SEAP president. "They soive the Port Hope problem by pas- sing it on to us." SEAP was for'med iast spring, when the Crown Corporation first began exp- loring the possiblity of expan- ding to Port Granby. Mr. Veldhuis insisted it is "1ridiculous" for the company to choose the site "when it knows full weli this is not the best location." He also said area residerits will make their objections loud and clear if public hearings are held. "This is our home and we like it the way it is," he added. "We just want to protect for ourselves and our cilîdren." SUMIMARY DAY The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and food bas announced that Jan. 24th wil be summary day for women's course.
