Request specific spatial mapping and concentration gradients for the proposed 'regulated mixing zone' where effluent dilution is expected to occur.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission notes that regulatory guidelines will be met 'within a regulated mixing zone.' This implies that within this specific zone, water quality guidelines may be exceeded. Melgund stakeholders must know the exact location and size of this zone to ensure it does not overlap with critical fish habitats, tourist lodge water intakes, or recreational areas. Clarifying this boundary is an opportunity to protect local assets and ensures that 'dilution' is not used as a substitute for adequate treatment."
