Potential impact<br />

3.5 Biodiversity<br />

impacts resulting<br />

from disturbance<br />

of fauna due to<br />

noise, dust, traffic<br />

Desired<br />

Outcome<br />

Minimise<br />

soil/ water<br />

contaminati<br />

on and<br />

disturbance<br />

to fauna<br />

Description of mitigation<br />

• Security and work lighting (both during construction and<br />

operation) will be shielded and directed downwards to<br />

prevent side-spill;<br />

• Avoid tall mast lights if possible;<br />

• Ensure driver training on ecological sensitivities and<br />

driving techniques to minimise fauna disturbance<br />

• Establish and enforce speed limits of 25 km/h on site;<br />

• Implement the BMP enlisting the services of an<br />

entymologist and botanist where necessary;<br />

• Train all staff on ecological sensitivities to ensure that<br />

they are aware of any specific migratory routes for faunal<br />

species, are able to identify species of a Threatened status<br />

and enforce an anti-poaching policy;<br />

• Mark and protect any Threatened floral species on site;<br />

and<br />

• Implement effective site drainage, and sediment/silt<br />

trapping mechanism.<br />

3.6 Waste impacts<br />

related to potential<br />

contamination of<br />

water resources<br />

and soil<br />

Reduce<br />

contaminati<br />

on of water<br />

and soil<br />

resources<br />

• The Operator to develop and implement a waste<br />

management plan which includes requirements for<br />

separation, handling and disposal of waste including the<br />

production of sludge;<br />

• Waste to be disposed of in line with Nigerian<br />

requirements at a suitable and licensed waste disposal<br />

facility. It is proposed that the services of a waste disposal<br />

facility in Port Harcourt will be used once a facility that<br />

meets the standards of the Project is selected;<br />

• Waste should be separated on site and waste storage<br />

areas should be located on hardstanding (or bunded, if<br />

suitable) to prevent potential contamination;<br />

• All waste disposal in line with Nigerian requirements at a<br />

suitable and licensed waste disposal facility;<br />

• Separate and store waste on hardstanding;<br />

• Recycle spent oils (including transformer oil); and<br />

• Regular monitoring of wastewater discharged (before it is<br />

discharged from the site).<br />
