oth seasons the iron content of the soil was considerably higher in the topsoil (15,000 and 22,080 mg/kg) compared to the subsoil (5,000.0 and 12,021 mg/kg), Vanadium, cadmium and chromium had the lowest concentrations during the dry season (0.2000, 0.4000 and 0.6000 mg/kg), with all respective concentrations recorded at a higher level in the topsoil (0.24000, 0.44000, and 0.61000 mg/kg respectively). Lead and nickel recording the lowest concentrations during the wet season (0.9000 and 0.1000 mg/kg), and there was no variation observed in the lead concentrations across both depth intervals. The only marked difference between seasons in heavy metal composition was nickel (
subsoil (15.00 - 35.00 x 10 3 cfu/g), as would be expected from the higher levels of contact with air and organic material in the topsoil. Hydrocarbon utilising bacteria and fungi were not detected during either season. Orior-Osemwende Community Please note sampling in the Orior-Osemwende community was undertaken during the wet season only. Heavy Metal Composition. Iron had the highest heavy metal concentration from the soil sampled in the Orior-Osemwende community (5,500.0 – 9,000.0 mg/kg), followed by chromium which demonstrated a narrow range of concentration (13.500 – 14.000 mg/kg). Iron concentrations were higher in the topsoil (9,000.0 mg/kg) than the subsoil (5,500.0 mg/kg) while chromium concentrations were slightly elevated in the subsoil (14.000 mg/kg) compared with the topsoil (13.500 mg/kg). Anion and Cation Analysis. Nitrate had the highest anionic concentration levels (4,500.0 – 5,300.0 mg/kg) followed by phosphate (72.000 – 101.00 mg/kg). As found to be the case at the other sampling locations, the nitrate concentrations were found to be higher in the topsoil (5,300.0 mg/kg) than the subsoil (4,500.0 mg/kg). Sulphate was not detected within the soil. Among the cations sampled, potassium recorded the highest (1,950.0 – 2,405.0 mg/kg), and sodium the lowest concentrations (14.000 – 35.500 mg/kg). The potassium concentrations were higher in the subsoil compared with the topsoil (2,405.0 and 1,950.0 mg/kg respectively), while sodium concentrations were higher in the topsoil than the subsoil (35.500 and 14.000 mg/kg respectively). Hydrocarbon Content. Oil and grease were not detected in the soil. THC was detected between 0.268 – 0.339 mg/kg in the top and subsoil respectively indicating low levels of hydrocarbon pollution. Physico-chemical properties. The soil composition was predominantly sand with the soil on average having the following composition: sand (96.980), silt (1.5200) and clay (1.5100). The percent composition of the respective components in the topsoil were recorded at 97.000, 2.1500 and 0.85000. In the subsoil the percentage compositions were recorded at 96.950, 0.88000 and 2.1700. Microbial Analysis. The total heterotrophic bacteria count ranged between 50.00 x 10 3 and 290.0 x 10 3 cfu/g. The total heterotrophic fungi ranged between 11.00 x 10 3 and 58.00 x 10 3 cfu/g. In both instances the total heterotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic count were found to be higher in the topsoil (290.0 and 58.00 x 10 3 cfu/g) compared to those observed in the subsoil (50.00 and 11.00 x 10 3 cfu/g). Hydrocarbon utilising bacteria and fungi were not detected during either season. AZURA EDO IPP 4-14 DRAFT EIA REPORT
