Contest the sufficiency of 'plain-language materials' for nearby communities and demand provision of raw technical data and independent review funding equal to the 'Involve' tier.
Strategic Rationale
"The text proposes 'plain-language materials' as the primary tool for the 'Inform' tier. For Melgund residents living adjacent to the site, simplified summaries are insufficient to assess specific risks to health, safety, and property value. The community requires the same level of technical detail and scrutiny capacity as the host municipality to ensure informed consent and safety verification. Providing raw data allows the Local Services Board to verify claims rather than relying on the Proponent's curated messaging."
