Description of mitigation
• Demarcate work and demolition areas to avoid
unnecessary disruption to neighbouring areas;
• Minimise dust emissions using dust suppression
techniques listed in dust emissions arising from the roads
used is minimised;
• Restore species diversity and structure in the disturbed
areas through rehabilitation and revegetation of the site
using native floral species (except where non-native
species are appropriate) taking into consideration the
Threatened floral and faunal species identified in the
Study area;
• Train all staff on ecological sensitivities to ensure that
they are aware of any specific migratory routes for faunal
species, are able to identify species of a Threatened status
and enforce an anti-poaching policy; and
• Implement measures outlined in the BMP including
rehabilitation and revegetation before the wet season and
using locally indigenous species; and
• Monitor and train staff to ensure that there is no poaching
in the area.
• Update and implement a waste management plan with
requirements for separation, handling and disposal of all
wastes as part of a Site Closure and Restoration Plan;
• Azura Power should identify suitable disposal sites and
confirm capacities for disposal for general and hazardous
wastes prior to decommissioning;
• All waste disposal in line with Nigerian requirements at a
suitable and licensed waste disposal facility, and store
waste on hardstanding. It is proposed that the services of
a waste disposal facility in Port Harcourt will be used,
following the identification of a suitable facility;
• Use spoil and excavated soil for on-site levelling and
compaction as much as possible;
• All metal should be sold for scrap and machinery,
infrastructure and buildings should be dismantled such
that as much of this waste can be reused or recycled.
