"The 1200 acre Ontario Hydro nuclear electorial generating generating plant-the largest in the world-is one step closer to being located in the Town of Newcastle as the result of an Ontario Government sponsored sponsored report released this past week". This statement was made by Councillor Kenneth E. Lyall over the past week-end speaking on the findings of Harold S. Goldking, Inquiry Officer, appointed by the Ontario Government to judge the necessity of Ontario Hydro needing to expropriate key Town lands on which to site the nuclear generating station. The lands in question are a part of a 1200 acre site situated between the Mac- donald-Cartier Freeway-the 401-and Lake Ontario immediately immediately west of the lands and the buildings owned by the St. Mary Cement Company Limited. Limited. Said Mr. Goldkind in his report "The applicant (Ontario (Ontario Hydro) has determined that it requires additional electrical generating facilities facilities in this area in order to supply its projected future demands. The applicant required required that the proposed electical generating facilities be in operation by 1983. This project is part of a program encompassing similar projects projects designed to meet the electrical power demands of various sections of Ontario". Mr, Goldkind's report also states "This particular project. project. along with other new generating facilities at Pickering Pickering and Wesley ville will supply the required power for the Eastern and Central part of Ontario". The Inquiry Officer speaking speaking of possible power sites stated that there were two. The Town of Newcastle site and the other, A Whitby site, 6 miles east of the existing and new Pickering power station. "Although other reasons were given for the choice of the Darlington site (The town of Newcastle site) over the Whitby site". Mr. Goldkind reported "It appeared that the overbearing reason was that the Pickering area had already received more than its fair share of transmission lines and equipment associated associated with power generating plants. Although Hydro wanted wanted to keep these projects at least 30 miles apart for environmental reasons, it appeared appeared that the alteration of the surrounding water and air was negligible from an environmental environmental viewpoint". Mr. Goldkind concluded his report by stating "The taking of the 1200 acre site is fair, sound and reasonably necessary necessary in achievement of the objectives of the expropriating expropriating authority (Hydro Ontario)": Ontario)": Of the 1200 acres, Ontario Hydro has already accumulated accumulated 1185 acres. The remaining remaining 15 acres - a key parcel of land in the centre of the project-is owned mostingly by the Town of Newcastle and other people whom the authorities authorities can not trace. According to Councillor Lyall, Hydro was forced along the expropriation route to acquire the needed acreage when the Town of Newcastle passed a motion November 4th, 1974 moved by Councillor Kirk Entwisle and seconded by Councillor Lyall that "H.E.P.C. be advised that we are asking for an inquiry into the expropriation of properties properties for the proposed Hydro Generating Station West of Bowmanville". This motion followed an earlier Council motion that "That there is considerable apprehension in this community community about the proposal to establish a nuclear generating generating station near Bowmanville" Bowmanville" and "That this Council can lend no support to the proposal until Hydro and the Provincial Government have fully presented the proposal, and its complete implications to the public, and until a referendum of the Town's citizens demonstrate the public's public's acceptance of the proposal". proposal". According to Councillor Lyall the problem started in 1971 with short sighted action by the former Darlington Township Council when that Council passing a resolution that approved the site for a power generating facility. Following this political action Hydro started to acquire the land and were able to accumulate accumulate all that was needed save the 15 acres that had to be expropriated because of the fact that the Town of Newcastle Newcastle officials refused to sell the land under their control.
