Recommendation Detail

HEP-102

Human Environment (People) VCs High Priority

Challenge the confidentiality of the 'Hosting Agreement' specifically regarding provisions for regional emergency response, infrastructure maintenance, and community safety definitions.

Strategic Rationale

"The text states the Hosting Agreement is confidential. However, Melgund has **ZERO** local emergency services (No Fire, No Ambulance). If this agreement defines the project's safety capacity or assumes reliance on regional assets, the confidentiality prevents Melgund from assessing critical risks. The Proponent must disclose whether the agreement provides for 100% self-sufficient emergency response or if it leaves neighboring unorganized territories vulnerable. We cannot accept a 'willingness' framework that hides safety capacity details from immediate neighbors who lack their own services."
