Recommendation Detail

HEP-058

Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment Medium Priority

Request a detailed enforcement plan for the prohibition of non-local employees engaging in 'recreational hunting, fishing, or the use of all-terrain vehicles' on surrounding lands.

Strategic Rationale

The text proposes a prohibition on worker recreational land use to mitigate impacts on traditional and local harvesting. However, Melgund lacks a local police force to enforce this. Without a clear, Proponent-funded enforcement mechanism, the influx of workers could lead to resource depletion and conflict with local residents who rely on these resources for subsistence and lifestyle.
