Request justification for the limited two-week duration of the seasonal noise monitoring program and assess the need for longer-term continuous monitoring.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent proposes only two-week snapshots for noise data collection. In the quiet, unorganized territory of Melgund, sound propagation is highly sensitive to specific atmospheric conditions (wind, temperature inversion) that may not be captured in a short window. To protect the acoustic environment of the community, the baseline must robustly account for variability to ensure that the 'quiet' nature of the area is accurately documented before construction begins."
Source Context
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.
