With all other such sites in the pro- vince developed, the Commis- sion's engineers had to look fur- ther afield. The Otter Rapids site, 23 miles downsteram from the Abi- tibi Canyon, was chosen be- cause it offered a good fall and suffiicent water for eight gen- erators, four of which have been installed. Provision was made in construction for four more generators which. will be in- stalled when required. Ontario Hydro also found three other good power sites on the neighbouring Mattagami River. These are what is known today as the Little Long, the Harmon and Kipling sites, 42, 55 and 58 miles north of Kapus- kasing, respectively. Little Long construction com- menced in the spring of 1960 and will be producing power October 1st with one of its two units. The Harmon station was started last fall and will be pro- ducing in August, 1965. Con- struction on the Kipling plant will commence this fall and will be put in operation August 1st, 1966. All four plants will be opera- ed by remote control from a transformer station further south called Pinard, where transmission lines will converge. PORT PERRY STAR, THURS., SEPT, 26th, 1963--1% From there power will be sent south on lines carrying a half million volts. While the line is curently be- ing built to Sudbury, it will be extended to Toronto by 1966-- a total distance of 450 miles. Unitil now Ontanjo Hydro has been transmitting power over relatively short distances. at 230,000 volts. Because of the great distance between the Jas. Bay area and Toronto, power of | the four generating stations will | be boosted to 500,000 volts so | a minimum of power will be lost | in, transmission. By comparison with some of | H.E.P.C.'s other generating sta- tions, Otter Rapids is small, but | when it is considered everything | had to be taken by rail into On- tario's north, where there are only two summer months when snow does not fly, and where temperatures are subzero many months, construction of the plant was a remarkable achieve- ment. Since work started in 1958 over a third of a million cubic yards of rock and a quarter of a million cubic yards of earth were excavated. A quarter of a million cubic yards of concrete went into the dam and plant which is the equivalent to the cement used in paving 50 miles of four lanes of 401 highway. - Just taking expansion and contraction into consideration was a read challenge for the en- gineers who drew up the plang: for the 1,800-foot long concrete and earth dam. But these and other challen- ges were successfully met and when the button was pushed to set three of the plant's four generators in motion, the faces of the engineers were all smiles because they had overcome tre- mendous obstacles to assure ev- eryone of ample electricity to meet the provinces's ever-ex- panding requirements.
