Mandate a baseline noise, vibration, and light pollution study specifically at the coordinates of the nearest residents in Borups Corners and Dyment.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission provides specific coordinates for the 'ERMA' and access roads, which are only 10-13 km from Melgund communities. To ensure the 'Environment' assessment is valid, the current background levels of silence and darkness—key characteristics of the local rural lifestyle—must be documented at these specific receptor locations before any site preparation or land transfer occurs. This data is essential to hold the Proponent accountable for future nuisances."
