Request the Proponent conduct a comprehensive socio-economic and demographic baseline study specifically for the unincorporated communities of Melgund, Dyment, and Borups Corners to rectify the admitted data deficiencies in the Initial Project Description.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission explicitly states that current data is 'not a full representation' of populations in unincorporated communities. Without an accurate baseline of the residents living within 10km of the site, any subsequent effects assessment regarding social cohesion, health, or economic impact will be fundamentally flawed. This is a critical opportunity for the Proponent to improve the accuracy of their social license claims by recognizing the immediate neighbors who will bear the project's direct impacts. Rectifying this data gap is essential for the community to evaluate the true scale of potential disruption to their way of life."
