Wednesday, June 21,2006 Ofono Weekly Times - 3 LLRWMO Continued from front relocating the waste to a newly engineered mound facility 700 metres north of its current location on the north shore of Lake Ontario, the Draft Environmental Assessment Report will be submitted for review by the federal and provincial authorities. authorities. By next summer the LLRWMO LLRWMO should be ready to present their detailed licensing submission to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and be ready for construction to begin in the Spring of2008. In April, 2005, the Municipality and their Peer Review Team recommended, that a revised design for the Long Term Waste Management Facility at Port Granby include a double, liner at the base of the proposed new storage mound. The LLRWMO at that time was promoting a design with a single single liner at the base of the mound which would contain 500,000 cubic metres of low- level radioactive waste which resulted from radium and uranium uranium refining during the 1930s to 1980s at the former Eldorado plant in Port Hope. The waste will be excavated' from its current site on the north shore of Lake Ontario to a new long term storage facility facility 700 metres north of the lakeshore. In January of this year, the LLRWMO advised Claring- ton that a double liner at the base of the mound would have no appreciable improvement on the mound's performance. They then presented a new design that included a liner on top of the waste mound, and a single liner at the base. The covered mound is intended to minimize the potential for precipitation precipitation to contact the waste and generate leachate, a design the LLRWMO felt would improve the mound's performance more than a double double base liner would. Clarington's Peer Review . Team in studying this concept concluded that an enhanced cap design meets their expectation's. expectation's. However the team still has some outstanding concerns regarding cleanup of the existing existing site. Their concerns centre around things like the residual contamination in the ground- water and exposure of containments containments left in place after the clean-up due to bluff erosion. The Peer Review Team has suggested the LLRWMO review state-of-the-art treatment treatment technologies and optimize optimize leachate treatment to reduce the contaminant's discharged discharged into the lake. While the Peer Review Team and the LLRWMO are working towards resolving a number of the outstanding issues, it is the Peer Review Team's opinion that these concerns concerns can be addressed during the detailed design stage. The team has concluded that through a number of mitigating mitigating measures, the quality of life of Port Granby residents residents will be maintained during during both the construction phase and the operational phase of the project. Clarington staff along with their Peer Review Team are satisfied that the design of the Long Term Waste Management Management Facility as proposed by the LLRWMO will provide Council and residents with a secure storage facility for the Port Granby wastes that will If seen, wish her a !

Greenfield claims Harry Millson had two cousins who fought in WWII, and he would /like the street to bear the poppy symbol in recognition of that fact. Prior to voting on the*mat- ter, Courtice Councillor, Adrian Foster, said he had concerns that Clarington not lose the history of some of its street names that were named after pioneers. "There is a rich history here and we don't want to lose it," he stated. Greenfield appeared before council in January of this year asking that criteria for the Veterans Street Naming Policy be waived so his father, Mr. Sam Greenfield could have a street with his name on it with a poppy. Greenfield's father, who lived in the Hampton area for about 15 years, never served overseas with the Canadian military. According to Greenfield, his father was injured while fighting fighting for Britain in the first World War. The matter of retroactively placing poppies on streets signs unless there is proof that the street was specifically named for veterans or soldiers killed in action was referred back to the Planning Committee so they can have a meeting with Greenfield and the Legion prior to council making a decision. ~ Happenings ~ June 22.23.24 Bowmanville Fabulous 50's Festival "Sidewalk Sale - see ad page 5 Saturday.
