Demand a 'Self-Sufficient Response Plan' for water contamination events, specifically addressing the scenario where storm events reduce 'sediment and erosion control effectiveness.'
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission admits that storm events may temporarily reduce control effectiveness, potentially altering water quality. Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with zero local emergency services or water treatment infrastructure; residents and businesses often rely on private intakes or direct surface water usage. The community cannot rely on distant regional hubs (Ignace/Dryden) to manage a water contamination crisis. The Proponent must demonstrate 100% self-sufficiency in detecting and containing water quality breaches immediately to protect the health of downstream residents."
