Request the immediate establishment of air and water quality baseline monitoring stations specifically within the Melgund/Dyment geographic boundary.
Strategic Rationale
"The text claims risks to 'air, water, soils' are expected to be low based on studies to date. However, if baseline data has primarily been collected at the Revell site or near Ignace, the specific pre-project conditions of Melgund are not formally recorded. To accurately measure the 'releases' mentioned in the text later, we must have a verified, independent baseline of our current local environmental quality. This ensures that any future contamination can be attributed to the project without ambiguity."

Understanding the Impacts of Nuclear Waste on our Community
This digital archive houses the public comments submitted to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada regarding Project 88774: The Nuclear Waste Management Organization Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel Project. The impact assessment is led jointly by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This archive preserves community perspectives, concerns, and observations shared during the assessment process, particularly in relation to Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario and the communities of Dyment and Borups Corners who are the closest and most impacted of all in the process.
