Waste generation dueto construction activities may create visual impact.Delay or prevent access to recreational locationsLGSHVL/R/PVL/R/TN/AProper scheduling of construction activities.Develop construction management plan.Development appropriate waste managementplan which includes management of solid, liquid,hazardous waste management and are in linewith national and international environmentalregulations. Provide construction schedules andcoordinate with recreational locations to minimizeaccess issues for visitors.L/HOperation Phase:New reservoir and new infrastructure (e.g. betterroads) may positively impact on recreational activitiesLGL/IR/POperations practice should coordinate withrecreational activities so as to assure safeaccess (fishing), adequate water in bypasschannels to support in-stream activities, andprovide access to river for such activities ifproject limits access.12
