Pristine ultimately bopes to .4. build a 680-megawatt, natural gas-fired power plant that could 'a'. produce power for morc than 650,000 homcs in the GTA at the terminus ol Main Street, just cast of Fîfîh Li c. The plant would encompass about 15 acres of the site and would include two approxi- mately 150-foot-taîl exhaust stacks - about the same height as the electrical towers in that area currently - and a 30-foot- taîl structure that would bouse cooling towers. Julia Ciccaglione of Pristine previously told The Champion that wbile the emissions from the plant would contain nitro- gen oxide and some particulant matter, she emphasized that nat- ural gas hurns quite cean and coal-fired plants bave bigber emissions.
