Request a comprehensive hydrogeological baseline study specifically for private wells in Melgund, distinct from the municipal systems described for Ignace and Dryden.
Strategic Rationale
"The Initial Project Description states that water service in Melgund is the 'responsibility of the homeowner' via cisterns and wells, and that residents manage water on their own properties. Unlike the municipalities of Ignace or Dryden, Melgund has no municipal treatment plant or distribution backup. Establishing a robust, independent pre-project baseline for private well water quality and quantity is critical. This ensures that if Project construction or subsurface activities impact the water table, there is irrefutable evidence to protect residents who rely on these sole sources for survival."
