RE: Hydro One Application for Leave to Construct Bruce-Milton Transmission Reinforcement Project EB-2007-0050
RE: Hydro One Network’s Section 98 Early Access Application re:Bruce to Milton Transmission Reinforcement project-Application EB-2007-0051

To Whom It May Concern

Further to my receipt of the above noted Application on April 25, I wish to participate in the proceeding and request Intervenor Status.

We are the owners of the property at the above address.  We have lived here for 29 years and well past retirement. We had planned to stay in this house the rest of our lives.  The new line would cross over our property at one point being only 35 feet from our home. We feel this could interfere with our quality of life as well as the value of our property. We have read that in some countries it is not considered safe from a health aspect to reside that close to the hydro towers. These are just a few of our concerns. 

We request an oral hearing so that we can present our case to the board.  We will also seek costs from the applicant because they are forcing us to defend our property rights. 

Sincerely

C.C. Mr Glen McDonald
        Mr. James H. Smellie
