Request specific, quantifiable performance metrics for the 'best available technologies' proposed to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions and associated atmospheric pollutants.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent uses the vague terminology 'best available technologies' to describe their environmental practices. Without specific definitions, this commitment offers no guarantee of protection for the local air shed. Melgund requires concrete emission thresholds to ensure that the project's operation does not degrade the local atmospheric environment. Establishing these metrics is an opportunity to bind the Proponent to a high standard of environmental stewardship that goes beyond generic regulatory compliance, ensuring the preservation of the area's air quality."
