Request site-specific noise, vibration, and air quality modeling data specifically for the residential receptors located in Borups Corners and Dyment.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission suggests that 'temporary barriers' and 'water spraying' will mitigate impacts, but it lacks specific data for the nearest residents in Melgund Township. Because this area currently experiences near-total silence and high air quality, the introduction of industrial blasting and excavation represents a massive shift. Providing localized modeling data will allow the community to understand the true extent of the 'low risk' claims. This recommendation improves the project by establishing a transparent, evidence-based baseline that can be used to hold the Proponent accountable during the construction phase, ensuring that mitigation measures are actually effective for the closest neighbors.

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.
