Recommendation Detail

ENV-117

Environment Effects Assessment Medium Priority

Quantify the projected air quality and particulate emissions from the on-site 'Manufacturing of cementitious and bentonite sealing materials' and 'Concrete batch plant'.

Strategic Rationale

"The text indicates that industrial manufacturing of sealing materials and concrete will occur directly on-site during operations. This introduces a new source of industrial dust and particulate matter not typically associated with simple storage. The Environment Working Group must ensure that these manufacturing activities do not degrade local air quality for nearby residents in Dyment, requiring strict dust management protocols to be defined in the Environmental Impact Statement."
