EA PROCESS
On September 30, 2009 OPG submitted the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the OPG New Nuclear at Darlington Project. The EIS documents the work done since the fall of 2006 to methodically assess the wide range of potential Project-environment interactions identified at the beginning of the process, to a narrower range of residual adverse effects (those remaining after mitigation) identified as likely at the end of the process, and to evaluate their significance.
The EA studies were undertaken by a team of over twenty technical experts, and were subject to independent expert peer reviews prior to being finalized. OPG also sought to ensure that the study approach was grounded in the perspectives, views and values of the community within which the OPG New Nuclear at Darlington Project would be operating. Throughout the EA, OPG sought community confirmation of the work undertaken to date, and community input for the next steps in the assessment. Further, OPG sought to ensure that the Project did not have any adverse effects on the interests of First Nations, Métis or other Aboriginal communities who may have an interest in the area.
OPG’s conclusions, based on the results of this assessment and taking into account proposed design and mitigation measures, are that the OPG New Nuclear at Darlington Project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effects. Most importantly no significant adverse effects on the health and safety of workers, the public or non-human biota are anticipated. Furthermore, the Project is expected to result in a number of beneficial socio-economic effects.
