Port Hope Area Initiative
Answer #14
How
will dust and noise be controlled during waste excavation and haulage?
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.
