Require the Proponent to conduct a specific Safety Interface Assessment regarding the interaction between Project industrial traffic and the identified 'unofficial' recreational users (ATV/Snowmobile) on forestry roads.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent identifies that the site is traversed by snowmobile trails (OFSC District 17) and used informally by residents on forestry roads. Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with **ZERO** local emergency services (No Fire, No Ambulance, No Police). Any increase in accidents caused by the mixing of heavy industrial transport and recreational users cannot be managed locally; reliance on distant regional services (Ignace/Dryden) creates an unacceptable risk profile. The Proponent must demonstrate 100% self-sufficiency in managing this safety interface and accident response, rather than downloading risk onto non-existent local capacity."

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.
