| Impact | Proposed Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Soil erosion and land degradation | • Minimize clearing of vegetation and maintain buffer zones. • Stabilize exposed soil with grassing or stone pitching. • Construct well-designed stormwater channels and sediment traps. • Schedule excavation during dry weather. |
| Air pollution | • Water unpaved access roads and exposed soil during dry conditions. • Use low-sulfur diesel and maintain all machinery and vehicles. • Cover trucks transporting loose material. • Establish vehicle idling limits. |
| Noise and vibration | • Restrict high noise activities to between 8.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. • Use soundproof equipment where possible. • Notify neighbors of construction schedules. Provide workers with noise protection equipment, such as earmuffs and plugs. |
| Solid waste generation | • Sort waste at the source (recyclables, organics, hazardous). • Use labelled bins and storage areas. Contract licensed NEMA waste collectors. Train workers and residents on proper waste management. |
| Water pollution | • Construct oil/water separators in parking and car wash areas. • Install impermeable lining in storage areas for paints/oils. • Treat all wastewater through on-site waste treatment plant. • Prevent direct discharge to storm drains. |
| Increased traffic and road safety risks | • Schedule material deliveries during off-peak hours. • Provide adequate on-site parking and loading zones. • Install directional signage and traffic marshals during peak construction periods. • Liaise with traffic police when needed. |
| Occupational health and safety risks (OHS) | • Prepare a comprehensive Health and Safety Plan. • Provide PPE (helmets, gloves, boots, high-visibility vests). • Ensure first aid kits and fire extinguishers are accessible on-site. • Conduct regular safety training for all workers. |
| Fire risk and emergency response | • Install fire extinguishers, alarms, smoke detectors, and hydrants throughout the premises. • Designate emergency exits and escape routes. • Conduct fire drills quarterly. • Train staff on emergency procedures. |
| Energy consumption and efficiency | • Use energy-efficient lighting (LEDs) and appliances. • Install solar water heating systems. • Ensure buildings comply with Kenya’s Energy Regulations (2020). • Sensitize tenants on energy conservation practices. |
| Water demand and supply | • Drill and maintain borehole as supplementary source. • Harvest rainwater and store in tanks. • Use low-flow plumbing fixtures (dual-flush toilets, aerators). • Educate residents on water conservation. |
| Wastewater Generation and Management | • Construct an efficient on-site wastewater treatment system. • Regularly maintain the treatment plant to prevent overflow or malfunction. • Monitor effluent discharge for compliance with Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act Water Quality Regulations. |
| Public Health Risks | • Ensure all waste is handled hygienically to prevent disease. • Provide clean water and sanitation facilities to workers. • Carry out vector control around waste storage and treatmentareas. • Comply with the Public Health Act (Cap. 242). |
| Loss of flora and fauna | • Retain existing trees where feasible. • Replant with indigenous species post-construction. • Avoid disturbing wildlife during site preparation. • Create awareness among workers on biodiversity protection. |
| Greenhouse gas emissions | • Use fuel-efficient vehicles and well-maintained machines. • Incorporate renewable energy technologies (solar). • Offset carbon through tree planting and landscaping. • Promote walking and cycling through safe pathways. |
