Relevant
Environmental
Components to be
affected
Disturbance to
Natural Drainage
pattern
Vegetation and Strain
on Existing
infrastructure
Existing Traffic Traffic Addition
Existing Water
Resources like
Groundwater and
surface water
Likely Impacts
Impact to natural flow of runoff due to
blockage and change of drainage course
Loss of vegetation and strain on existing
infrastructure
The area along the coast is partly intertidal
land, rocky cliff
Proposed Mitigation Measures
Port development is mostly on reclamation
Rain water/surface water harvesting pond
included in design
Existing drainage near port boundary (backup
area) will be integrated with port storm water
drainage & management plan
Existing drains Streams that are passing in
ware house area will not be closed/ diverted.
These streams will be desilted and enhanced
to improve their carrying capacities
Port development is planned mostly on
reclaimed land;
Land use at backup area, PAF Zone and
warehouse area will be mostly coconut
plantation and low mixed plantation
Adequate green belt will be developed in port
and its associated (road & rail connectivity).
Temporary workers camp with self sufficient
infrastructure facilities.
Road bypass under construction around 2.0
km m from the proposed Port site and the
transportation of construction materials will be
carried out during non- peak hours.
Regularization of truck movement
A dedicated rail network of approximately 15
km is proposed from port to next railway
station
Land to be reclaimed will be separated from
adjoining land by creating containment bund.
Return sea water will be sent back to sea
through appropriate channels.

Solid Waste
Management
Soil Quality
Impacts due to disposal of solid waste on
ground
without treatment
Construction waste will be used within port site
for filling of low lying areas.
Other recyclable wastes will be sold.
