Require the establishment of specific baseline monitoring stations within Melgund Township boundaries for the 'evaluation of potential changes to air, water, land' referenced in the Impact Statement methodology.
Strategic Rationale
"The Initial Project Description focuses heavily on the 'WLON and Ignace siting area' for data collection and governance. As the immediate geographic neighbor to the Revell site, Melgund requires distinct baseline data to accurately measure future 'radioactive and hazardous releases to water and air' against local pre-project conditions. Without specific local data, impacts to Melgund's environment may be masked by regional averages or data centered on the host communities."
