Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant Environmental Impact ... - IFC

• All waste shall be disposed of in line with Nigerian requirements at a
suitable and licensed waste disposal facility. ;
• Azura Power shall identify a suitable disposal site at Port Harcourt which
meets the required capacity for the disposal of general and hazardous
wastes prior to decommissioning;
• Waste shall be separated on site and waste storage areas shall be located
on hardstanding to prevent potential contamination; and
• All metal shall be sold for scrap and machinery; and infrastructure and
buildings shall be dismantled such that as much of this waste can be
reused or recycled.
With the implementation of the mitigation measures during operation, the
residual impact magnitude will be reduced to low and the significance of the
residual impact on biodiversity will be minor.
8.7 PHYSICAL RESETTLEMENT
As noted earlier, an international standard RAP is being developed for the
Project resettlement. The relevant mitigation measures will be outlined in the
RAP but encompass the following:
• Accurately define entitlement;
• Fair compensation;
• Livelihood restoration; and
• The movement of community structures.
Resettlement will disrupt the lives of the resettled communities and significant
support will be required to ensure that the affected communities are able to reestablish
their communal resources, homes and other assets lost through the
process, as well as to re-establish their livelihood.
The proposed mitigation and management measures are intended to facilitate
adjustment to the impacts of resettlement; however, such management
measures will not prevent resettlement and associated loss of communal
facilities and cultural heritage from occurring.
The negative residual impact is reduced to a moderate significance rating
following the implementation of the Entitlement Framework and
compensation measures defined in the RAP, as these will support affected
households in the re-establishment of their livelihoods to match or exceed preresettlement
standards.
