E-M:/ Canada moves forward with Lake Huron nuke dump, but Michigan may have no say

[Kay Cumbow <kcumbow@greatlakes.net>]

Folks,

Now is the time to contact Governor Granholm, elected officials,
especially Federal Legislators, and urge them to request a 90 day
extension of the comment period. Ask them to insist that the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Agency hold informational meetings in Michigan.
This proposed radioactive waste dump is destined to last for millions of
years, so why the rush? The state of Michigan, Anishibaabek and First
Nations all share responsibility for the waters of Lake Huron with Canada
-as well as the fate of those waters. -Kay Cumbow

Canada moves forward with Lake Huron nuke dump, but Michigan may have
no say

Critics say failure to involve Michigan may violate international
treaty 

Millions of people in Michigan get their drinking water downstream
from Kincardine, Ontario, where a nuclear waste dump is planned near the
shore of Lake Huron. But under draft guidelines for the project, Michigan
will not be considered as part of the region that could potentially be
impacted by the Canadian version of the proposed Yucca Mountain
underground storage facility in Nevada.
