(Brce Miltoni) Eoisb500 WOTrriion Le (BrexMilton)i Majuors CRoas T..hp / Mpofii.. ~ Kit,.. eso 1 1 N Hydro One Networks Inc. ("Hydro One") bas initiated a Project under Ontario's Environmental Assessment Act (the "Act") to build an approximately 1 80 kilometre double circuit 500,000 volt (500 kV) transmission line on a widened existing transmission corridor connecting the Bruce Power facility ("Bruce") in Kincordine to Hydro One's switching station n Milton ("Milton"). The Bruce to Milton line will provide the capability téj reliably and safely transmit approximotely 3000 additional megawatts of electricity from the Bruce area ta southers Ontario and support the Province's climate change and dlean air initiatives. The Province's newest dlean energy corridor will deliver emission-free power from new wind generation, and the refurbished Bruce Power nuclear units. The earliest in-service date for the new lise is the end of 2011. The Ontario Power Authority (OPA), the provincial agency responsible for developing a long-term lntegrated Power System Plan (IPSP) for the Province, has determined the need for this transmission mie, the timing and the preferred route. The OPAs analysis looked at varios options to increase the capacity of the electricity transmission system in southwestern Ontario. Its final recommendation considers the technical requirements, total system capacity, provincial land use policy and the overaîl cost to Ontario electricity consumers. The OPA has recommended that Hydro One begin the approvals process required ta build the new 500 kçV line from Bruce to Milton. The new mie is expected to be located immediately adjacent ta the existing transmission mie on a widened corridor. Additional easement interests of approximotely 53 m ta 61 m (175 - 200 feet) in width adjacent to the existing corridor will be required as shown on the study area map. In a limited number of cases, property purchases will be required where homes or buildings occupy the widened corridor.

The first step lu the proceus is the preparation of a Terms of Reference. If approved, the Terms of Reference wll provide the framework for the preparatian of the environmental assessment. The Terms of Reference will set out Hydro One's work plan for addressing thse requirements of thse Act whes completing the envirosmental asseusment. Consultation Members of the public, property owners, stakeholder groupu, First Nations and Metis graups, government agencies and other interested persans are escouraged ta actively participate in the planning process including the development of the Terms of Reference by attending consultation opportunities or contacting staff directly with comments or questions. Consultation opportunities are planned throughout the planning process. A first round of Public Information Centres (PiCs) will be held in communities along the proposed transmission lise ta provide information about thse project and tise appravals processes, and ta obtain input from residents, farmers, business owners and other interested stakeholders in the area. We will also be seeking input from First Nations and Metis groups through a separate engagement process. We encourage you to attend ose of the PICs, where you will have the apportunity ta lears more about tise praject, provide your input, and discusu asy issues or coscernis with aur project team.
