Waterkeeper comments on the Draft Environmental Assessment Screening Report - Refurbishment and Continued Operation of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station
The weaknesses and omissions contained in the Report cast a shadow over the entire environmental assessment process. Neither the EIS nor the Draft Screening Report provides a reasonable or credible basis for evaluating the environmental effects of Darlington’s once-through cooling system. The Report demonstrates that OPG, the CNSC, and DFO are either unwilling or unable to mitigate harm to fish and fish habitat on Lake Ontario. In light of these failings, Waterkeeper submits that a legitimate, reasonable, and informed decision is impossible without an independent, thorough review panel process.

The proposal should be denied outright because it will cause significant adverse environmental effects that will not be mitigated and cannot be justified.
Dear FarmTech: Your ethanol plant makes us sad
It's getting tiresome saying the same things over and over and over: Jeopardizing Second Marsh is a bad idea. Protecting the watershed that houses half of the people in Ontario is a good idea. We are never going to live in communities where you can touch the water safely, drink it, and eat the fish from it if we do not start drawing the line somewhere. Gifford Hill is a good place to start.It's getting tiresome saying the same things over and over and over: Jeopardizing Second Marsh is a bad idea.
