WHEREAS Ontario Hydro has been plagued with numerous problems over the past month at several of their nuclear stations. The severity of problems has been so great as to require the closure of seven of the nineteen remaining reactors including four here in Pickering. This is the result of unsafe operating practices found to be below the acceptable level of operation; and WHEREAS the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS) is one of the Ontario Hydro Plants currently experiencing problems. Recent reports have indicated that as much as 40,000 gallons (180,000 litres) of liquid industrial waste oil was illegally dumped into a former construction and demolition landfill site at the nuclear plant during construction of the "B" side. The "B" side contains four nuclear reactors constructed between 1977-82; and WHEREAS Ontario Hydro's problem at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station has created great anxiety among local Pickering residents who are concerned about their safety and the safety of the environment in which they live; and SITUA TIONAL ANALYSIS 8 WHEREAS currently there is speculation that the liquid industrial waste oil could possibly contain PCB's. During the late seventies and early eighties, Ontario Hydro replaced thousands or transformers across the Province and there is a concern that some, any, or all of the dumped oil may have come from any of these transformers; and WHEREAS in order to allay fears among local citizens, it is important that an independent review be undertaken to assess the current conditions at the PNGS for landfill site; and WHEREAS in the interest of our citizens, it is imperative that Council take immediate action to ensure that our residents are not at risk. If a potentially dangerous situation does in fact exist, Council needs to ensure that appropriate measures are taken by Ontario Hydro to remediate the site to meet Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) environmental compliance; and WHEREAS depending on the extent of the problem at the site, the appropriate protocol would need to be developed for the safe removal, transportation and destruction of any hazardous material; PROPOSED ACTION 8 NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering hereby recommends that an independent consultant be appointed to co-ordinate all facets of this operation to ensure that the proper measures are taken, and to represent the interests of the Town of Pickering. As all details of the problem are not currently known, the independent consultant may require additional resources to conduct a thorough investigation and to ensure that the site is properly remediated; and THAT the consultant will report to Pickering Council as to the extent of the problem and will ensure that appropriate and timely action is being taken by Ontario Hydro to bring the landfill to MOEE compliance; and 112 THAT the independent consultant must have the ability and confidence of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy and be able to access the Minister. As well the consultant must be able to develop a working relationship with key Ontario Hydro officials. To effectively manage communications, the consultant should be adept at developing a proactive community relations strategy and have the ability to address questions of local residents. will ensure that communications with Pickering residents is ongoing during this process; and 8 THAT as Council is aware, Ontario Hydro has agreed to cover the costs of hiring an appropriate independent representative recommended by Council. The MOEE is prepared to ensure that the cost of this independent representative, and any required resources, are the responsibility of Ontario Hydro; and THAT in selecting an independent consultant, Council appreciates that this problem needs to be dealt with in an expedient manner; and RECOMMENDA TION THAT to ensure that nothing is left to chance at PNGS, and that local residents can be assured that the landfill problem at the PNGS will not negatively effect their quality of life, it is recommended that MOEE and Ontario Hydro enter into an agreement with the Town of Pickering, similar to the arrangement for the Brock North Remediation (excluding any possible use or re-opening of Brock West) which will ensure that similar measures are used to remediate the PNGS Landfill site in an expedient manner; and AND MOREOVER, IT IS RECOMMENDED: 8 That the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering recommends to the MOEE and to Ontario Hydro that the services of an independent consultant, namely Corporate and Government Consultants Canada be retained; and THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering will thereby ensure that only the highest standards of environmental remediation are undertaken CARRIED Recorded Vote: Yes: No: Councillors Brenner, Dickerson, Johnson, Pistirtto and Mayor Arthurs Councillors Ryan and Senis Council considered the following motion in conjunction with the above resolution: Resolution #393/97 Moved by Councillor Ryan Seconded by Councillor Senis 8 That the name Corporate and Government Consultants Canada be removed ITom the second last paragraph.
