Recommendation Detail

HEP-184

Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment Medium Priority

Request a 'Feedback Integration Framework' that specifically tracks and reports on how concerns from unorganized territories are weighted and addressed in the project design.

Strategic Rationale

"The Proponent's submission claims feedback will 'inform decision-making,' but there is a significant risk that Melgund’s unique needs—such as the total absence of local emergency services and infrastructure—will be overshadowed by the concerns of larger, organized municipalities. A transparent audit trail is required to ensure that the specific safety and social risks of the Dyment/Borups Corners area are not lost in a top-down communication style. Adopting this recommendation will provide the community with a clear mechanism to see the direct impact of their contributions, moving the process from passive information sharing to accountable participation and ensuring the project design reflects the unique constraints of unorganized territories."
