Require a definitive methodology and specific 'stop-work' criteria for the investigation of 'potential recent fault activity' and post-glacial faulting.
Strategic Rationale
"The text acknowledges that 'uncertainties remain regarding the likelihood and potential impact of post-glacial faulting.' In an unorganized territory with no capacity to mitigate a containment failure, the stability of the bedrock is paramount. The assumption that the region has 'low seismic hazard' must be rigorously proven, not merely monitored. Establishing clear criteria for what constitutes a disqualifying fault hazard is essential to protect the long-term environmental integrity of the land and ensure the DGR does not compromise the physical safety of the area."

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.
