Deadline extended to March 6 for comments on OPG's proposed DGR

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has extended the deadline for public comments on the additional information submitted by the proponent, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), for the proposed Deep Geologic Repository (DGR) Project for low- and intermediate-level radioative waste at the Bruce Nuclear site in the Municipality of Kincardine.

The deadline is now March 6, rather than Feb. 17. The extension was requested by the public and Indigenous groups to provide them with more time to comment on the information.

Comments received will be considered public and be taken into consideration by the agency in its analysis and technical review of the additional information.

Written comments in either official language may be sent by mail or E-mail to:

Following the comment period, the agency will prepare a draft report containing its analysis of the additional information and the comments received. The public and Indigenous groups will be invited to review and comment on the agency's report at a future date.
