Environmental Impact Assessment<br />

Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant <strong>May</strong> 20<strong>10</strong><br />

The second option is the coastal infiltration area near the sea beach. The area elevation<br />

ranges from 12m to 15m above MSL and is located 17 km from KY WWTP site. In<br />

addition, total area of this site is insufficient for infiltration of KY WWTP effluent<br />

volumes. (Figure 4.5)<br />

Khuza'a (Al Fukhari) site is the third proposed location. Al Fukhari infiltration site has<br />

available top area of (97,000 m2) with a trapezoidal shape. The top soil consists of sandy<br />

silty clayey layer with thickness between 1 to 5m above clay layer with thickness<br />

between 2 to 3 m. Thus; infiltration basins can't be constructed directly on the ground.<br />

The clay layer will be excavated an removed from the site, then the basins will be<br />

backfilled by suitable soil with high hydraulic conductivity until reach the design level of<br />

each basin.<br />
