Recommendation Detail

HEP-013

Human Environment (People) Baseline Medium Priority

Request verification of the '20 seasonal residents' figure and the specific inclusion of Long Lake cabin owners in the 'Community and Culture' baseline assessment.

Strategic Rationale

"The Proponent's submission estimates 20 seasonal residents based on interviews. Underestimating this population minimizes the assessment of impacts on tourism, property values, and seasonal enjoyment of the land. Accurate counts are essential to understand the full scope of the 'human environment' that will be affected by project traffic, noise, and stigma, ensuring that seasonal stakeholders are recognized as valid receptors in the impact assessment."
