Also taken into consideration were the requirements noted in the draft EP III document published on 13 August 2012. Based on the information contained in this report the proposed facilities are most likely Category B projects according to the International Finance Corporation and comply with the principles (although some aspects to be confirmed fall outside the scope of the EIA/EMP itself). © Aurecon (2012) No unauthorised reproduction, copy or adaptation, in whole or in part, may be made.
