Has NS performed environmental studies within the area proposed for placement of the BRIMF?
A. Yes, and some studies are still being conducted. The substantially completed studies include aquatic biology studies in nearby surface waters, wetlands surveys, cultural resource surveys, noise surveys, and additional data collection and modeling for air quality, socioeconomics, geology, soils, environmental justice, and other resources. After the conceptual designs of the facility have been completed, additional site-specific studies may be required.
