Challenge the Proponent to demonstrate 100% on-site self-sufficiency for industrial fire, medical, and hazmat response related to the 'welding,' 'copper coating,' and 'temporary dry storage' operations described.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission outlines high-risk industrial processes including welding and chemical coating, yet Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with zero local emergency services (no fire, ambulance, or police). Reliance on regional assets from Ignace or Dryden involves unacceptable response times for industrial accidents. The Proponent must prove they will provide full emergency capacity to avoid placing a dangerous burden on a community that lacks the infrastructure to respond to a factory fire or chemical spill."
