Challenge the Proponent to demonstrate 100% self-sufficiency for emergency medical, fire, and security response at the Revell Site and the proposed worker accommodation camp.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission discusses safety, security, and the operation of a worker accommodation camp, yet it fails to acknowledge that Melgund Township is an unorganized territory with zero local emergency services. Community has no local capacity; reliance on distant regional services in Ignace or Dryden creates unacceptable risk for both the project and the residents. The Proponent must provide 100% of the required emergency capacity on-site. This is an opportunity for the Proponent to improve the project's safety profile by ensuring that industrial accidents or medical emergencies do not drain the limited resources of neighboring municipalities, thereby maintaining regional stability."
