In response to follow-up questions from the Commission on the practice of disposing the pond water in the test mine shaft, CNSC staff expressed the view that, although the rate of pumping to the shaft must be regulated periodically to prevent overflow, the practice does not pose a significant risk to the environment, including with respect to groundwater flow or quality.

Interrogé au sujet de la pratique d'évacuer l'eau des bassins de décantation dans le puits de mine d'essai, le personnel de la CCSN juge que, bien qu'il soit nécessaire de régulariser périodiquement le taux de pompage dans le puits pour éviter un débordement, cette pratique n'entraîne pas un risque important pour l'environnement, y compris en ce qui a trait à la qualité ou à l'écoulement de l'eau souterraine.
