Require a site-specific noise and light pollution assessment for the Dyment and Borups Corners residential areas, specifically accounting for the proposed helipad and 24/7 worker camp operations.
Strategic Rationale
"The filing introduces industrial elements such as a helipad and a worker accommodation camp into a pristine acoustic environment. Melgund residents chose this area for its rural character and lack of light pollution. The Proponent must demonstrate how these new noise and light sources will be mitigated to prevent the degradation of the local environment. A detailed assessment will provide the community with clear thresholds for acceptable levels and ensure that the project's non-nuclear infrastructure does not result in a permanent loss of rural quietude. This study is essential for maintaining the quality of life in the nearest human receptors to the Revell site. The expected result is a mitigation plan that preserves the dark-sky and quiet-environment characteristics of the township."
