In order to provide assurance that the FDS maintains the expected level of performance, the CNSC requires OPG to monitor and report annually on the biomass of fish impinged. This document is the report for 2017. The total biomass of all species and ages impinged in 2017 was 25,217 kg, which is equivalent to a rate of 4.99 kg/million m3 of station flow. The impingement reduction performance target was not met in 2017. The results in 2017 were heavily influenced by a single event starting on November 16 and lasting several days, which was reported to CNSC and DFO. During the event, a preliminary estimate of 24,000 kg of Alewife were impinged. In the absence of this event, impingement was 1,217 kg, the second lowest on record since assessment commenced in 2010. In addition, to offset residual impingement impacts, the CNSC requested OPG implement a wetland improvement project of 3 hectares. To achieve this, OPG retained the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to plan and upgrade a portion of the Duffins Creek wetland. The restoration project design phase was initiated in 2015 and was deemed to require an Authorization under Section 35(2)(b) of the Fisheries Act. OPG received this Authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada on January 17, 2018.

A fish diversion system (FDS) consisting of a barrier net was installed in front of the PNGS intake in 2009 and was studied in 2010 to 2011 to determine it’s capability to reduce impingement (Poulton, 2011, 2012a). Study results indicated that the FDS exceeded the 80% impingement reduction target in each year. As a result, in 2012, the CNSC accepted the FDS as the permanent solution to reduce fish impingement for all species during PNGS operations (CNSC 2012a), with the exception of Northern Pike, since this species in impinged in winter months when the FDS can not be deployed. In order to provide assurance that the FDS maintained this level of performance, the CNSC required OPG to monitor and report annually on the biomass of fish impinged. This report documents observed impingement for 2017. 2.0 THE FISH DIVERSION SYSTEM A complete description of the FDS system can be found in Kinectrics (2009) and Poulton (2011). A secondary skirt was added in 2011 to further reduce fish impingement in the event the main net and primary skirt became submerged (Poulton, 2012a). PNGS replaced the net in 2017, as the former net had reached its operational lifespan. 2.1 FDS Installation and Removal In 2017, the FDS main net and the primary skirt installation were completed on May 11. Subsequent removal of the FDS was completed on November 13. No issues were reported during installation or removal of the FDS in 2017. 2.2 FDS Availability Twenty four depth loggers, recording instantaneous depth at 15 minute intervals, were installed on the FDS in 2017 to monitor retention of the float lines at surface, and by extension FDS availability. All loggers were retrieved but the reading on three were irrational (South Main Net, East Main Net and West Second Skirt North). FDS performance is deemed acceptable when the loggers on the secondary skirt are submerged at depths ranging from 10 - 30 cm. Table 1 provides a weekly summary of the availability of each FDS aspect in 2017 and indicate the secondary skirt was at the surface for the majority of time the net was deployed. As in previous years, daily visual observations of the secondary skirt by OPG security were conducted. The visual observations document if the float lines become submerged, and inform maintenance staff of net deficiencies requiring immediate corrective actions. Results of the visual observation show there were no periods

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

  • Repurposing Pickering Preliminary Assessment Report
    Repurposing Pickering Exploring the possibilities for new uses and reuses on the Pickering Nuclear site December 11, 2015 This report is made available for information purposes only. The content of this report is based on available facts, the analysis undertaken and assumptions made (the "Content"), as of the date of this report (11/12/2015). The Content may change, subsequent to the date of this report, and these changes may have an impact on the assessment results. Please note that OPG may or may not choose to either update this report or post an updated report. OPG cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of this report or its usefulness for any purpose. OPG will not be liable for any loss, damage cost or expense arising or incurred as a result of any person's use or reliance on this report. 2 Executive Summary As part of planning for the end of commercial operations of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is undertaking a study to explore future uses of the Pickering site. The reason for this is to ensure that the site will continue to be put to productive uses that benefit Ontarians during and after the decommissioning of the Pickering station. Given the transmission (hydro) corridor and other valuable infrastructure that already are in place, through Repurposing Pickering, OPG aims to identify and implement land uses that take advantage of existing assets – without interfering with decommissioning and without preventing the site’s long-term potential from being realized. As a starting point for Repurposing Pickering, the purpose of this first comprehensive study is to explore future possibilities broadly – and then narrow down and recommend a manageable number of land use options for further study.
