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 />

A potential positive impact to land use is the construction of access roads and dams along canals<br />
and fish holes (Eastern Wayambo Swamp) and the rehabilitation of existing roads in residential
