Demand the implementation of localized acoustic and vibration baseline monitoring within a 10km radius of the project site, specifically targeting the residential areas of Melgund and Dyment.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission focuses on transboundary effects at distances of 140km to 210km to justify a lack of impact, which effectively ignores the immediate environmental degradation for those living in the shadow of the Revell site. The current acoustic environment in Melgund is pristine; construction and transport noise represent a significant change. Establishing local baseline data now, rather than relying on the 'future modeling' mentioned in the filing, provides a defensive metric to hold the Proponent accountable for noise mitigation. This ensures that any deviations from the quiet character of the township are measurable and remediable."

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.
