Request a detailed inventory of radiological and industrial waste streams and their specific discharge points into the local watershed near the Revell site, as referenced in Sections 24 and 25 of the Proponent's submission.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission focuses on federal legislative authority but lacks granularity regarding the specific chemical and radiological releases that could impact the local environment. For Melgund residents, who rely on the local watershed for recreation and potentially well water, vague references to 'waste management' are insufficient. This task forces the Proponent to move beyond regulatory checkboxes and provide data that allows the community to assess the actual risk to their immediate surroundings. Providing this detail early improves project transparency and allows for the design of more robust local monitoring programs, which is an advantage for the project's long-term social license.
