Proposed Darlington Station Arrangement Generating plant Orono hydro rates reguires 300 workers going up 27 percent The Darlington Generating Station which is proposed to be built west of Bowmanville wll when completed produce a total of 3,400 megawatts of electrical power from four CANDU reactors. The first unit is expected to be in operation on January 1st, 1984 with the second on October 1st of the same year. The third unit would come into production production July 1st, 1985 and if the schedule can be maintained the fourth would be in service April 1st, 1986. In the recent environmental assessment report comments on environmental change due to operation and in many cases refer to actually operation operation of similar plants such as Pickering and Bruce. Tests conducted at the Pickering site over the past two years have revealed no noticeable change in the external gamma radiation background levels in the vicinity of the site. The report refers to other substances and states that they do not exist above the provincial level. The report also states that the warm water discharge, 11 C degrees, is unlikely to either stimulate or diminish algae growth, Experience at other generating stations record that the fish population is not affected adversely by increased increased temperature. Fish are either attracted to the ther- malk discharge or repelled by it. The report also points out and states that an essential part of the Canadian nuclear program is the containment system - a vacuum building and connecting pressure relief relief duct - which will collectively collectively contain any radioactivity released within the reactor Residential hydro users in the Village of Orono are faced with a 27 percent increase in their cost of hydro as of January 1st, 1976. A review of rates was presented at the Orono Hydro meeting on Tuesday evening by representatives representatives of Ontario Hydro. The average rate increase over the entire system will be 23 percent. Further to the. increase in rates Orono Hydro will seek to debenture through the Region for an amount of $10,006 in order to carry-on capital works in 1976. building following any possible possible accident to the reactor system. The operating and maintenance maintenance staff is expected to peak at almost 600 in 1984 and to level off to about 300 in 1991. The new increased rates reflect an increase in the cost of hydro to the local commission commission of twenty-five percent plus the fact that Orono Hydro has lost over $4,000 through the loss of handling the water billing and collecting for the Region of Durham. As of October 1st the local Hydro system had nothing further to do with billing and collecting of local water rates. The Region will now be sending out the bills on a three month basis. These bills can be either paid at the Regional office or at any local charter ed bank. The new residential raie structure increases by 27 percent while the general service rate for commercial and industry will increase by 17 percent. It was noted at the meeting that an attempt was being made to even out the rates between commercial and residential and thus the difference for the percentage increase. It was pointed out at the meeting that if Orono continued continued to operate under the present rates during 1976 they would have a deficit of $22,149 even with a debenture of 10,000. Further it was pointed out that Orono residents have in the past been favoured with rates under that of most neighbouring centres. ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESECRATION?

The provincial Cemeteries Act defines a cemetery as any place where there is a burial and states no one may "make removals from a cemetery or disturb a burial". The criminal criminal code makes it an offense to "offer an indignity to a body", the spokesman said. Under those terms, an Indian burial ground is a cemetery, and it's a crime to disturb the graves. But Indians complain the law is strictly enforced fork, whites and ignored when it might apply to Indians. If you can't mail il say it.
