Some of the negative impacts include: (i) loss of productive topsoil resulting from site clearance; (ii) potential pollution of the water bodies through run-off of hazardous construction waste (lubricants, cements, paint and fuels); (iii) destruction of vegetation, loss of habitat and loss of biodiversity; (iv) particulate matters emission from construction activities; (v) construction equipment will generate noise above the usual level; and (vi) deforestation and desertification. Some of the mitigation measures include: (i) residual spoil will be disposed of according to the erosion prevention plan; (ii) topsoil from all areas to be permanently covered shall be stripped, stored and used for re-vegetation works; (iii) measures will be taken to prevent the untreated wastewater produced in construction from entering into creek and streams; (iv) solid hazardous and non hazardous wastes will be appropriately stored to prevent contaminated runoff to adjacent waterways; (v) water will be sprayed on construction sites, exposed sites and earth roads to minimize dust; (vi) maintenance of machinery and vehicles should be enhanced to keep their noise within acceptable level; (vi) all works are to be carried out in such a fashion that the damage or disruption of the fauna is minimum; (vii) solid waste generated to be accumulated at one place and treated; (viii) suitable dust collectors (bag filters) shall be provided at all major emission source; and (ix) the noise emission shall conform to applicable standards.  Réduire
