Due to decrease in DO levels which effect
marine ecology and disturbance to
benthic communities.

quality
Impact due to discharge of runoff from
container storage and sewage from port
and port colony premises
Impact due to disposal of solid waste on
ground without treatment
8 Fishing activity Fishermen livelihood Impact on fishing due to vessel movement
conditions and modelling results quantity of
dredge negligible. Maintenance dredged
material will be dumped at the identified
offshore disposal area for capital dredged
material.
Additional Environmental Monitoring
Programme comprising of monitoring of
marine water quality, marine sediment quality
and marine ecology will be initiated one
week prior to commencement of dredging and
will be carried out during the dredging period.
Water treatment plant, storage and distribution
network developed
Separate Collection and treatment for oil and
grease for runoff from workshop area, truck
parking etc
Sewage treatment plant to be constructed
within port area and port colony area
An integrated solid waste management plan is
proposed for port and associated facilities
Composted bio-degradable waste will be
used as manure in greenbelt.
Other recyclable wastes will be sold.
Educating the fishermen about the orientation
of approach channel and movement of ships
Regular Interactions will be initiated with the
fishing community
Conflicts if any with fishing community will be
amicably resolved in all cases
A fishing harbour with all the required
infrastructural facilities (i.e.,landing terminals,
road network, fish processing as well as
auction area, ice plant, transportation
