Schedule 10 rows
| Impacts | Proposed mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Soil erosion | • Develop a Top-soil Management Plan (TMP) and ensure its implementation. • Terracing and levelling the project site to reduce run-off velocity and increase infiltration of rainwater into the soil. • Soils excavated should be used for re-filling and should not be left exposed to wind or water for long periods. • Prepare a restoration scheme to guide re vegetation of areas cleared during construction. |
| Loss of vegetation | • Only area earmarked for development should be cleared. • Plant trees, shrubs and flowers on remaining open spaces. |
| Changes in hydrology/ impended drainage/deep excavations | • Proper Installation of drainage structures. • Install cascades to break the impact of water flowing in the drains. • Ensure efficiency of drainage structures through proper design and maintenance. • Provide gratings to the drainage channels. • A geotechnical survey shall be conducted and the recommendations thereof followed. There shall be no blasting during excavation. • A methodology for excavation has been generated as required by NCA. |
| Air pollution | • Regular sprinkling of water on dry and dusty surfaces such as access roads. • Onsite dirt piles or other stockpiled material should be covered to reduce wind-blown dust emissions. • Enforce onsite speed limit regulations for construction vehicles along access routes. • All construction machinery should be regularly and promptly maintained and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. • Regularly monitor air quality levels to ensure compliance with the Environmental Management and Coordination (Air Quality) Regulations, 2014. |
| Noise pollution | • Sensitize drivers of construction vehicles and machinery operators to switch off engines or machinery that are not being used. • Activities with the greatest potential to generate noise and vibration should be planned in consultation with the neighboring community. • Use noise control devices to minimize noise levels. • The contractor should comply with the Environmental Management and Coordination (Noise and Excessive Vibration Pollution) (Control) Regulations, 2009. |
| Public health, occupational health and safety | • Train staff/workers on occupational health and safety. • Provide full protective gear & workmen’s compensation cover in addition to the right tools and operational instructions and manuals during construction. • Design of sewerage system should be as provided in the plans and should be constructed to approved size and design, standard and of approved materials. • Ensure use of standard construction materials and to the specifications. Avoid undesirable, substandard, hazardous or unauthorized materials during construction and maintenance. • Sensitized staff on social/health issues such as drugs. |
| Road traffic disruption | • Minimize haulage and transportation of construction materials during peak hours. • Flagmen/traffic marshals should be deployed at strategic points to control traffic. • Construction workers and traffic marshals should be provided with reflector jackets among other PPEs to avoid accidents. • Proper signage and warnings should be placed at appropriate places along the site road. • Work closely with the area traffic police to ensure that any incidents at the diversions are quickly cleared for continuous flow of traffic. |
| Insecurity and social impacts | • Provision of security guards, CCTV cameras, security lights and other security apparatus during the entire project cycle. • Construction work timings shall only in line with the NEMA licensing conditions. |
| Increased water usage | • An alternative water source shall be provided. The proponent shall drill a borehole at the proposed site. • Management of water usage. Avoid unnecessary wastage. • Recycling of water at the construction phase where possible. • Make use of roof catchments to provide water i.e. for general purpose. |
| Increased generation of waste | • Use of an Integrated Solid Waste Management System (ISWMS); through a hierarchy of options including source reduction, recycling, composting and reuse. • Choose building materials that are least polluting and environmentally sustainable. • Engage the services of a NEMA licensed waste handler to collect and transport waste to designated disposal sites. • Develop a comprehensive waste management plan for the construction period and ensure its implementation. • Manage all waste in line with the requirements of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Waste Management) Regulations, 2006. |
