Define the specific implications of 'institutional control' and the prohibition of mining on local economic development and land use rights post-closure.
Strategic Rationale
"The text notes that after closure, the site will transition to 'institutional control' which may include 'prohibiting mining in the area.' Melgund residents need to understand the exact geographic scope of these restrictions and how they might limit future local economic development or land use. Clarifying this now prevents future conflicts and ensures the community understands the long-term economic trade-offs of hosting the facility. This provides an advantage by establishing clear boundaries for future land use planning."
