<strong>PESIA</strong> <strong>Weg</strong> <strong>naar</strong> <strong>Zee</strong> <strong>2D</strong> <strong>Seismic</strong> 2012<br />

When sited on farmland or residential area, the construction of the seismic trails and travelling<br />

over the land may result in loss of the standing crop, soil compaction and other disturbances. The<br />

impact will be moderate negative, when soil disturbance is such that the effect is experienced<br />

over a prolonged period, in which crop production is impossible or low.<br />

Some mitigation measures are recommended below that can reduce the impacts to minor<br />

negative.<br />

Preventive and mitigation measures include:<br />

• involve the local people and keep an open dialogue during all stages of the <strong>2D</strong> seismic<br />

project<br />

• do not drill explosion holes near houses<br />

The release of drilling waste and other pollutants like oil, grease and fuel in such area could<br />

result in:<br />

• an adverse effect to crops, garden plants and fruit trees with either a reduced crop yield or<br />

complete die-off of the standing crop<br />

• loss of soil production capacity due to decreased soil quality or loss of irrigation water<br />

• an adverse effect to grassland and through this on cattle<br />

• an adverse effect to ducks or fish with reduced growth or direct kill<br />

• loss of drinking water for cattle and poultry<br />

• loss of irrigation water<br />

This impact is also considered as to be moderate because it although it is limited to a small area,<br />

effect will be medium to long term (less than 1 year). Some measures are recommended.<br />

• involve the local people and keep an open dialogue during all phases of the seismic<br />

project<br />

• do not drill explosion holes near houses, or close to water reservoirs or ponds<br />
