| Impact | Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|
| Loss of Biodiversity | • The project will restore disturbed areas by replanting at least 25 indigenous trees per hectare, establish buffer zones with multi-layered vegetation, and conduct quarterly biodiversity assessments to monitor ecosystem recovery. |
| Air Quality/Dust | • Regular water sprinkling, vegetative dust barriers, and covered waste transport will be implemented, alongside monthly air quality monitoring to ensure compliance with NEMA air quality standards for PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, SOx, and NOx. |
| Water Pollution | • A septic system with advanced filtration, leachate containment liners, and proper storm water drainage will be installed to prevent contamination, complemented by monthly groundwater and surface water quality tests for compliance with WRA standards. |
| Soil Pollution | • High-Density Polyethylene landfill liners, geotextile fabric, and microbial bioremediation techniques will be used to prevent soil contamination, with biannual soil testing to monitor pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and hazardous waste residues. |
| Noise Pollution | • Soundproof barriers, restricted working hours (0800–1700 hrs), use of low- noise machinery, and mandatory worker PPE (ear protection) will be implemented, with real-time noise sensors ensuring compliance with NEMA noise regulations. |
| Occupational Health & Safety | • All workers will be provided with PPE (helmets, gloves, masks, boots), undergo regular health checkups and safety drills, and have access to onsite first-aid stations, fire extinguishers, and emergency response plans. |
| Waste Management | • Waste segregation at source, recycling programs, engineered landfill cells with daily waste covering, and methane capture for waste-to-energy conversion will be implemented to ensure environmentally responsible waste disposal. |
| Climate Risks | • The facility will incorporate elevated flood-proof waste storage, heat- resistant infrastructure, windbreak tree planting, rainwater harvesting, and an automated climate monitoring system to enhance climate resilience and disaster preparedness. |
