Oil‐related activities started at the Staatsolie refinery site in 1988, and the refinery came into operation in 1997. The corridor is situated in a peri‐urban and industrial area. Project activities will be largely restricted to drill pads and assembly areas. The soils around most drill pads have been disturbed in the past and the land on which they will be located are not well suited for agriculture. A thick clay layer is located below the Suriname River for much of the pipeline corridor. The Suriname River has been altered by the construction of the Afobaka Dam, and river water quality is significantly impacted by runoff from adjacent residential and industrial areas. Three aquifers lie underneath the study area. Groundwater is withdrawn from the deepest aquifer. No sensitive ecological areas occur in the study area. A low marsh forest has re‐established on long‐abandoned land, while other vacant areas are covered by grasses and bushes. The pipeline will run through three Ressorten: Houttuin in Wanica District and Livorno and Beekhuizen in Paramaribo District. Historically, Houttuin was a rural farming area, but local commercial activity is increasing. Beekhuizen and Livorno are urban to semi urban areas. The northern section of the study area contains vacant land and a significant number of light industries, workshops and warehouses as well as residential areas along the main roads. Most companies located along the Suriname River have jetties for loading and unloading. The southern portion of the study area is characterized by housing developments along roads and some small industry and other enterprises. Most companies located along the river have a jetty or quay. Large tracts of vacant land lie next to the river, some used for cattle‐grazing. Thousands of commuters travel from Wanica to Paramaribo every day, resulting in moderate to high traffic intensity on Martin Luther King Road and Sir Winston Churchill Road. Many boats use the Suriname River and jetties in the study area. 6 IMPACT ASSESSMENT The impacts of a pipeline are mostly linked to the sensitivity of the environment along the route and the extent (or ‘footprint’) of the pipeline and associated facilities. The proposed route is entirely within disturbed land or deep underground, and the pipeline is relatively REUT/DALC 439414_StaatsoliePipelineEIA_Draft EIA Report_Summary June 2012
