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. 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 arc 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 Mope 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 Sticklcy, communications officer with the LLRWMO. "But the objective is to have a lull 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 arc 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. Sticklcy. Public consultation specialist, Chris Ilaussmann 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 Iront 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. Ilaussmann 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. Th e s e VEC Workshops are scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 7-9:30 pm at the Newtonvillc Community Hall for Port Granby and on Wednesday, March 5, 7- 9:30 pm at the I-Ialiburton Kawartha Pine Ridge Health Unit building, 200 Rose Glen Road, for Port Hope. Please register with Sandy Holmes or Sue Sticklcy at 905-885- 0291 or info@llrwmo.org if you arc planning to attend. Advance information can be provided to you. Public consultation on the Port Hope Area Initiative continues this spring, with Alternative Means workshops on March 29 in Port Granby and on April 12 in Port Hope.
