To Whom it May concern:
My family and I reside in a rural area just north of Thunder Bay Ontario. From our residence, year round, we hear the noise of the trains on the CP Rail main line, and the noise of transport trucks (in their thousands) on the Trans Canada Highway. To commute to and from work in Thunder Bay we use the Trans Canada. The highway and rail corridors run right through the urban centre of Thunder Bay.
In this area , and throughout the height of land north of Lake Superior, the Trans Canada Highway could be described as "curvy, two lane, hilly, poorly shouldered, with few passing lanes". Both the railway and the highway pass through numerous hazards such as rock cuts and intersections.
The proposed tranportation corridor to the waste site is worse than an "accident waiting to happen", Television, on line, and newspaper coverage weekly heightens our concern that overturns and derailments happen regularly, and are inevitable. It is a scandal that transportation of the toxic waste from nuclear plants is not a key area of concern of any envionmental impact study.
Please recognize that these toxics should be sequestered right near their source, and not run the great risk of transporting them without any demonstrated need.
Yours truly,
Carol Bruni, family, granchildren, and future generaations who will live here.
