Request that 'Quiet Rural Enjoyment' be assessed as a distinct component of the Noise/Vibration assessment, beyond standard regulatory compliance (NPC-300).
Strategic Rationale
"The submission notes that noise and vibration will be 'measurable relative to baseline.' In the pristine, quiet environment of Melgund, noise levels that technically meet industrial regulatory standards may still constitute a significant nuisance and degradation of quality of life. Assessing impacts against a 'rural enjoyment' standard will better protect the community's character."
