Request a detailed hydrogeological impact assessment for each 'Alternative Mean' regarding water supply (surface vs. groundwater) and discharge locations identified in Table 13.1.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission lists water source and discharge as variables without assessing the specific risk of aquifer depletion or contamination for the residents of Dyment and Borups Corners who rely entirely on private wells. For downstream neighbors in Melgund, the specific location and volume of these discharges are direct threats to environmental health and property value. This task forces the Proponent to prioritize the protection of local potable water over project cost-efficiency. The expected result is a selection process for water management that is backed by baseline data and guarantees no interference with local residential water security."
Source Context
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.
