Request a site-specific Social Management Plan for the worker accommodation camp that includes dedicated security and traffic enforcement protocols for the Highway 17 and 603 corridors.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission suggests that social effects from the worker camp will be negligible due to its status as a 'dry facility' and the use of 'best management practices.' However, the filing does not address how these policies will be enforced in an area with no local police presence. Any social friction or traffic incidents involving camp residents or contractors will directly impact Melgund's safety and way of life. A dedicated management plan that includes Proponent-funded security and traffic monitoring would mitigate the risk of 'off-site' impacts in unorganized territories. This improves the project by providing the community with the security oversight that the provincial and local governments currently do not provide in this area."
