| Impacts | Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|
| Loss of vegetation | Demarcate the project area to be affected by the construction works to avoid spill-over effects. • Re-establish vegetation through implementation of a well-designed landscaping programme. |
| Air pollution: dust and exhaust emissions | Sprinkle water on all dust-active areas including access roads to suppress dust. • Pave or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads and parking areas. |
| Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials. • Provide all construction workers with Personal protective equipment • Strictly enforce on-site speed limit regulations. • Avoid excavation works in extremely dry weathers. • Properly service, maintain and tune all equipment and machinery. | |
| Noise and vibration | Switch off machines and vehicles when they not in use. • Keep all machinery in good condition to reduce noise generation. • Avoid hooting of vehicles at the site and when passing through sensitive areas such as churches, schools and hospitals. • Keep all generators and noisy equipment in sound proof rooms or in enclosures to minimize ambient noise levels. • Carry out noisy works only during the day time when most of the neighbors are at work. • Provide workers in noisy areas with ear muffs. |
| Solid waste generation | Collect and dispose solid wastes from the site regularly. • Install double waste bins at each collection point to ensure separation of wastes into recyclable and non-recyclable. • Removed from site and/ or recycle/ re-use/ dispose all materials and equipment that will not have been used up. • Use of an integrated solid waste management system (recycling, re-use, combustion, decomposition of organic matter and sanitary land filling). |
| Traffic congestion | Place prominent signage alerting the presence of the construction site and a parking area. • Regularly service vehicles to ensure that they are in good condition. |
| Fire risks | Maintain first aid kits at the site. • Establish fire Assembly points and mark exit points. • Provide enough parking space that can give way for emergency vehicles. • Prominently display ‘NO SMOKING’ signs at the site especially in areas where flammable materials are stored or used. • Regularly train personnel in relation to fire emergencies. • Put in place a variety of fire prevention measures (fire extinguishers, fire blankets or sand buckets where appropriate). • Provide contacts during emergency |
| Safety Hazards | Implement strict safety protocols, regular maintenance checks, and advanced leak detection systems. • Provide training for workers and emergency response teams to handle potential accidents as provide in the report on chemical handle. |
| Provide adequate personal protective devices. • Ensure you strictly adhere to the safe distance from the public and settlement as provide in the report. | |
| Environmental contamination | Ensure robust containment measures, such as double-walled tanks and secondary containment systems, are in place. Conduct regular environmental monitoring and establish rapid response plans for containment and remediation in case of leaks. |
| High energy consumption | Develop integrated energy management systems that include energy storage solutions to buffer against fluctuations in renewable energy supply. • Optimize energy efficiency in production processes to reduce overall demand. • Switch off lighting fluorescent tubes during the day and all other electrical appliances when they are not in use. |
| High consumption of water resource | Employ water-saving technologies, such as water recycling and reuse systems. Assess water availability in potential production locations to avoid exacerbating local water scarcity issues. Explore more options like water pans, and roof water catchment. • Ensure taps are not running when not in use. |
| Regulatory and compliance risks | Stay informed about relevant regulations and ensure that all operations meet or exceed legal requirements. • Engage with regulatory bodies early in the planning process and maintain transparency in operations to foster positive relationships with regulators. |
| Ammonia slippage | Implement advanced leak detection systems and regular maintenance protocols to minimize the risk of accidental ammonia releases (sensors, alarms, and automated shutoff systems) to quickly detect and respond to leaks. • Use emission control technologies (scrubbers and catalytic converters) to capture and neutralize any ammonia emissions before they are released into the atmosphere. • Optimize production processes to minimize the likelihood of ammonia slip. • Effective emission control measures ensure that air quality impacts are minimized, protecting both the environment and public health. • Establish continuous air quality monitoring around production facilities to track ammonia and other pollutant levels. • Continuous monitoring ensures compliance with air quality standards and helps maintain a safe environment for workers and nearby communities. |
