Require the inclusion of 'Intergenerational Community Burden' as a Valued Component to counter-balance the Proponent's claim of 'advancement of intergenerational equity.'
Strategic Rationale
"The text argues the project advances equity by removing the need for future generations to manage waste. However, for Melgund, this 'solution' creates a permanent, localized burden (stigma, land use restrictions) for future generations of residents. This discrepancy must be captured as a Valued Component to accurately assess the long-term social cost to the specific community hosting the waste, ensuring the 'equity' argument is not used to mask local disadvantages."
