Require immediate, independent baseline thermal and ecological profiling for Mennin Lake, Lowery Lake, Church Lake, and Long Lake to address stated concerns regarding 'lake temperatures' and 'aquatic ecosystems.'
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission explicitly identifies potential risks to these specific water bodies, including temperature changes and impacts on fish populations. These lakes are integral to the local ecosystem and the lifestyle of Melgund residents. Establishing a credible, third-party verified baseline prior to any site activity is essential to distinguish future Project-related effects from natural variations, ensuring that the Proponent can be held accountable for any degradation of local water quality."
