Request the specific geochemical sampling density and methodology used to determine that all excavated rock is 'non-acid generating'.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's assertion that residual effects on groundwater quality are 'not anticipated' hinges entirely on the claim that the rock is non-acid generating. If this baseline assumption is flawed due to insufficient sampling of geological heterogeneity, the region's groundwater could face long-term degradation. Validating this data is essential to protect the environmental integrity of the local watershed.

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.
