Require detailed design specifications for the containment and treatment of liquid waste generated in the underground 'wash bay' and 'maintenance shop' to prevent groundwater contamination.
Strategic Rationale
"The text plans for an underground shop with a wash bay and welding shop. Without strict containment, industrial fluids (oils, solvents) could migrate into the surrounding rock or groundwater. This gap matters to Melgund as protecting the deep aquifer environment is critical. The expected result is a robust engineering design that guarantees zero discharge of industrial contaminants into the subsurface hydrogeology."

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.
