Terry Grant, for the shaft, said that if there is water it would be at the upper geological layers which are separated by rocks from the repository site. The environmental effects of the exploratory shaft were addressed by Rick Moleski, also of ONWI. He said that limited fieldwork has been done with regards to vegetative mapping, threatened and endangered species, noise measurement and cultural resources of the site.

The schools are woefully short on these supplies now because of tight budgets in the past.
