site and the degree of disturbance/destruction, an impact of minor negative significance may<br />
occur.<br />
General mitigation measures include the following:<br />
• plan trails and access routes in such way that they remain at some distance from known<br />
or possible archaeological sites<br />
• create awareness amongst construction staff regarding the significance of such finds and<br />
indicators of the presence of such sites (especially exposed pottery sherds, bed structures,<br />
spots with deviating terrain and vegetation)<br />
• cease all construction activities in the area if a potential site is noticed, and cordon off<br />
area<br />
• notify the National Museum<br />
• allow that a detailed assessment of the site is undertaken by, or on behalf of, the National<br />
Museum if deemed necessary in the preliminary assessment<br />
• follow recommendations made in preliminary and/or detailed assessment as appropriate<br />
With proper execution of above measures the impact will be negligible.<br />

Potential impacts to land use in this part of the project area are related to the potential impacts to<br />
water quality. Contamination of the water in fish holes could result in a lower swamp fish catch<br />
during the fishing season (Dry Seasons). The impact is considered to be minor negative to<br />
negligible, being at a small scale and very temporary. No prevention or mitigation is required.<br />
Another potential negative impact to land use is that damage is done to canals, trenches, dams<br />
and fences in the Polder <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> area, and dams along canals and fish holes (Eastern<br />
Wayambo Swamp), and/or that canals and trenches are being dammed off, leading to changes in<br />
hydrology in the concerned area and loss of function for the structures. The impact is considered<br />
as to be moderate negative. Some preventive and mitigation measures are recommended.
