Recommend the inclusion of independent, peer-reviewed public health baseline studies for the residents of Dyment and Borups Corners, distinct from the proponent's 'safety case' presentations facilitated by the Ministry of Health.
Strategic Rationale
The IPD suggests health officials were used to 'share the safety case' rather than conduct independent impact assessments. Melgund requires a neutral health baseline to monitor long-term physiological and psychological well-being.
