Recommendation Detail

HEP-075

Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment Medium Priority

Require a detailed assessment of how the 'civil disobedience' and 'societal breakdown' scenarios identified in Objective 5 will be managed given the lack of local policing in Melgund.

Strategic Rationale

The Proponent's submission discusses security risks including 'civil disobedience' and 'societal breakdown.' As Melgund has no local police force, the management of these risks implies either a heavy reliance on distant OPP detachments or the introduction of private security forces. The Proponent must clarify how security will be maintained without compromising the safety, freedom of movement, or resources of local residents, ensuring that the 'Security' objective does not result in the militarization of the local community.
