Human Environment (People) Alternatives High Priority

Request detailed mapping of the 'direct overprinting of land' and 'access restrictions' mentioned in the text to identify specific conflicts with local recreational trails and harvesting areas.

Strategic Rationale

"The text admits to 'unavoidable changes' and 'direct overprinting' of land where infrastructure is located. As Melgund residents utilize these specific lands for hunting, fishing, and recreation, we require a precise overlay of these 'overprinted' zones against our local trail networks. This will allow us to identify exactly which community assets will be severed or destroyed. The goal is to force the Proponent to propose alternative site layouts or specific recreational offsets (replacement lands) to mitigate the loss of our backyard."
