Re: Proposed Riverside Generating Station (Project Reference No. 89801)

Hi all,

As a young member of the local community, as well as a part of the technological development in the St. Clair area I am excited to hear the site is being considered for redevelopment.

That being said, based on the available information I have a couple questions specific to the project:

• Why are other grid stabilizing technologies considered incompatible with the site? Notably small modular reactors.

  • Best deployed in fleets, complementing those planned for Darlington

  • Able to handle baseload generation

  • Contributes to skilled labour in the area and nation

  • Has a future beyond 2050

  • Diversifies local grid

• Will pollution from existing local industrial regions compound with the proposed plants pollution?

  • 3/10 of Ontarios largest fossil fuel generating stations (By Watt capacity) are currently operating in the area. The proposed project will result in 4/10 being within 15KM of the Corunna-Mooretown area

  • The area contains an above average amount of industrial manufacturing

  • The area has a history of environmental concerns, especially amongs First Nations people

  • Carbon dioxide and methane gas are currently the largest human-caused contributors to greenhouse gasses

Thanks for the time and opportunity to comment!
