Mississauga News - June 26, 2007 - By Big boom is back on The huge powerhouse at Lakeview Generating Station is now scheduled to meet its doom tomorrow morning, sometime after 8 a.m.
The Lakeview Generating Station is scheduled to be demolished early Monday morning.
The gigantic structure will be felled by 726 pounds of dynamite in a series of 53 explosions if the weather cooperates.
The experts from Murray Demolition hired to implode the building require strong offshore winds of a minimum of 20 kms. per hour to blow the dust from the demolition out over Lake Ontario rather than over nearby residences.
The explosion was originally scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Monday but was postponed due to inappropriate weather conditions.
Ontario Power Generation spokesman Ron Osborne says that based on Environment Canada's weather predictions, "it appears that there is a window of opportunity between 8 a.m.-10 a.m. tomorrow."
Those who want to watch the demolition are invited to attend at the Roy McMillan headland park at the foot of Hampton Cres.
There is a restriction zone of 500 metres on land surrounding the plant and 2 kilometres into the water.
