| Possible Impacts | Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|
| Soil erosion | • Control earthworks; Install drainage structures properly; Ensure management of excavation activities. |
| Vegetation disturbance | • Restore/re-establish vegetation in some parts of the disturbed areas through implementation landscaping programme. |
| Air pollution | • Stockpiles of earth should be sprayed with water or covered during dry seasons; Provide dust masks for the personnel in dust generation areas; Sensitize construction workers on pollution control measures. |
| Noise pollution | • Sensitize workforce including drivers of construction vehicles; Install sound barriers for pile driving activity; Install portable barriers to shield compressors and other small stationary equipment where necessary; Display signs to indicate construction activities; Maintain all equipment; Workers in the vicinity of high-level noise to wear safety and protective gear. |
| Dust generation | • Spray stock piles of earth with water; Avoid pouring dust materials from elevated areas to ground; Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials; Provide dust screen where necessary. |
| Exhaust emissions | • Vehicle idling time shall be minimized; Equipment shall be properly serviced and maintained. |
| Increased Water Use | • Installation of motion-sensing taps, urinals, and toilets to automatically switch off once the user leaves the station. A motion sensor tap would cut up to 85% of annual water usage compared to conventional taps. Rainwater harvesting: The harvested water would be used for cleaning, flushing toilets, watering plants, etc. • Avail storage tanks. |
| Waste Management | • Special attention shall be paid to the sanitary facilities on site; garbage shall be disposed periodically. Contract a NEMA licensed waste handler. |
| Emission of greenhouse gas emission | • Installation of a solar PV system on the rooftop to supplement KPC supply thereby abating about GHG emissions. Implementing energy efficiency mechanisms to reduce energy consumption. Undertaking annual energy audits to monitor progress and exploit opportunities for energy efficiency. |
| Public health and occupational safety | • Ensure proper solid waste disposal and collection facilities; Ensure dustbin cubicles are protected from animals, rains and are well covered; Provide suitable safety gear for all personnel; Proper treatment of waste water. |
| Climate change risks and vulnerability | • Water management; The project should invest in water management strategies like rainwater harvesting, storage facilities, and efficient water use practices. These measures aim to mitigate water scarcity during dry periods and reduce flood risks during heavy rainfall events. • Infrastructure design: Incorporate resilient features to withstand extreme weather like flooding, storms, and high temperatures. • Energy efficiency: Implement technologies and practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels. • Biodiversity conservation: Protect and enhance natural ecosystems to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem services, including reforestation, habitat restoration, and sustainable land management practices. |
| Traffic disruption | • Properly plan for transportation of materials to ensure that vehicles are optimally filled to reduce the number of trips done or the number of vehicles on the access roads; Employment of formal flagmen/women to ensure the public safety; Place clear signage’s at the gate to alert drivers to be cautious about the construction and to look out for entering and/or exiting vehicles. |
| Fire risks | • Install fire alarm with smoke sensors; Have standby fire extinguishers at the site in case fire erupts; Declare places with flammable construction materials as ‘’NO SMOKING ZONES’’ and display conspicuous notices of the same. |
| Encroachment of the area | • Demarcate the project area affected by construction activities to prevent unnecessary interference with areas not meant for proposed project. • Avoid encroachment into road reserves in totality. |
