Abstract/Summary

On August 26, 2010, the Corporation of the Township of Ignace expressed interest in learning more about the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) site selection process to find an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s used nuclear fuel (NWMO, 2010). This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by Golder Associates Ltd., to evaluate the potential suitability of the Ignace area against five screening criteria using readily available information. The purpose of the initial screening is to identify whether there are any obvious conditions that would exclude the Township of Ignace from further consideration in the site selection process. As per discussions between the NWMO and the Township Council, the initial screening focused on the Township of Ignace and its periphery, which are referred to as the “Ignace area”.
