Request precise coordinates and baseline ecological data for the 'receiving locations for treated water discharge' which are currently vaguely defined as being within a '2 to 10 km radius' of the site.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission leaves the specific discharge points undefined within a massive 8km band. This ambiguity prevents the Environment Working Group from assessing which specific local water bodies, fish habitats, or aquifers will be impacted by construction dewatering and surface runoff. Melgund requires exact locations to ensure the baseline data reflects the actual receiving environment, not just a general regional average.

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.
