Request a plain-language technical bridge that translates the cited CNSC REGDOCs and CSA standards (N288.4, N288.5, N288.7) into specific, measurable water and air quality thresholds for the Revell site.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission relies heavily on federal regulatory codes that lack local context for an unorganized territory. Residents in Melgund Township rely on private groundwater wells and the pristine local environment for their livelihoods. By providing a plain-language summary of these standards, the Proponent can demonstrate how federal limits actually protect a rural township environment compared to an industrial zone. This is an opportunity to improve transparency and allow the community to verify if the proposed 'Environmental Management System' is robust enough to prevent degradation of the local watershed. The expected result is a clear set of local benchmarks that the community can use to hold the project accountable."
