How will dust and noise be controlled during waste excavation and haulage?
(Back to top) Managing environmental effects was the focus of the environmental assessment (EA). For example, measures to reduce dust include watering unpaved roads and excavation areas (water to be captured and treated), minimizing disturbed ground, installing fencing or other barriers, suspending operations during certain weather conditions and covering exposed construction areas at the end of each day. Monitoring will confirm the measures are working as expected. Methods used by the LLRWMO over more than 25 years of safely handling low-level radioactive waste in Port Hope and across Canada are providing the foundation for the Environmental Management and Protection Program for the Project.
