Transportation of waste

I would like to see a full impact inquiry done that INCLUDES transportion. As a resident along highway 17, I know the daily risk of driving on these highways. I imagine that is why one would want to exclude transportation in an environmental impact study. Please do not exclude it. From Sault St Marie to the proposed deposit site you are near small and large bodies of water almost the entire time. Accidents happen daily in both winter and summer. Have you driven this highway? It is not like anything you will find south of Sault St Marie. What happens when a transport carrying nuclear waste goes off a 60 foot cliff and lands on a bay of Lake Superior (this happened nearby 2 years ago on a beautiful dry summer morning)? We have a lot to risk environmentally and deserve the time taken now to have a full and transparent impact study that includes transportation.
Thank you.
