 1. 7 EIA REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION DURING
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION PHASES:

Table 1 - Summary of EIA Requirements and Guidelines for Construction Works

Impact Construction mitigation measures

Topography and  Avoid heavy explosion and consequently falling rocks;
geology  Filling or capping of geological voids when and if they are
encountered during excavation and adding soil cover to
areas of exposed rocks so as to avoid any settlement
impact;
 Application of suitable cutting and embankment slopes for
example 1:1.5 or flatter in soil and 1:1 or steeper in rocks
as per the quality of the rock materials which will be
determined based on geotechnical investigations;
 During construction, it is necessary to provide an
adequate drainage system in order to prevent erosion of
earthworks;

Soil  The site should be equipped with a drainage system to

drive surface and storm water away from construction
areas into storm drains along with adequately design
sand/silt/debris removal techniques such as sand traps,
silt traps, and sediment basins.
 Proper housekeeping practices are also necessary and
include the proper storage of chemicals on site as
necessary, limiting accidental spillage as well as
prohibiting the open disposal of spent oils in the
surrounding environment

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

Page 14 of 213
 Impact Construction mitigation measures
Water  Primary source of potential impacts on the quality of
water resources will be from pollutants in site runoff
water. Therefore,
 Surface and storm water should be diverted away from
the project site and all site runoff should be directed into
site storm drains along with adequately designed
sand/silt/debris removal techniques such as sand traps,
silt traps and sediment basins.
 Any rainwater pumped out from trenches or foundation
excavations and other similar construction associated
activities should be discharged into these storm drains
with silt/debris removal facilities and not directly into the
environment.
 Silt/debris removal facilities should be maintained by
regularly removing the deposited silt and grit/debris after
each rainstorm event in order to ensure that these
systems function properly at all times
 Open stockpiles of construction materials on-site should
be covered with tarpaulin or other similar water-resistant
fabric during rainstorm events in order to prevent the
washing away of construction materials,
 Any accidental spillage of oil, fuel or other chemicals
should be immediately cleaned up and contained and
should then either be sent to the proper treatment facility
or be properly disposed of.
 Generated domestic wastewater should be stored in
special collection tanks and transported to a wastewater
treatment plant, where public sewer network is not
available and where onsite package sewage treatment
plant is not available, for further treatment to avoid any
potential contamination to the water resources in the
area
Air quality  Control techniques for minimizing PM emissions during
construction involve watering of surfaces, chemical
stabilization, and reduction of surface wind speed with
windbreaks or source enclosures.
 It would help if road surfaces were also improved by for
example: grading of gravel roads which help to retain
larger aggregate sizes on the travelled portion of the
road thus reducing emissions.
 Maintain good housekeeping practices throughout the
construction phase which includes: (i) periodic removal
of dust producing materials; (ii) covering hauling trucks
while transporting construction materials, and (iii)
regular clean-up of spillage on unpaved travel surfaces.

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

Page 15 of 213
 Impact Construction mitigation measures
 Measures to reduce truck traffic emissions include
proper maintenance procedures and the quality of diesel
used is also important to reduce emissions.
 Equipment should be turned off when not in use, which
reduces power needs and thus emission levels.
Noise and vibration  Employ good practices for equipment and machinery by:
o Selecting quieter equipment/machinery;
o Operating only well-maintained
equipment/machinery;
o Equipment that may be intermittent in use should
be shut down between work periods or throttled
down to a minimum;
o Silencers or mufflers on construction equipment
should be utilized and properly maintained during
construction works;
o Providing ear protectors to all on-site workers.
 With respect to vibration it should be ensured that high
explosives are not allowed to be used on site at any time
during this phase as these may impact the very stability
of the geological formations at and surrounding the study
area resulting in potential falling rock and thus damage
and accidents.

Safety  Provision of guards on site entrance(s) and exit(s);

 Installation of warning signs at the entrance of the site to
prohibit public access;
 Provision of training about the fundamentals of
occupations safety procedures;
 Provision of appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE) (impermeable latex gloves, brightly coloured
working overalls equipped with light reflecting stripes,
safety boots, safety helmets, and ear plugs);

Health and  Keep uniforms and PPE clean and in good condition and
Environment replace them semi-annually;
 Provision of personal ID cards for all employees;
 Provision of adequate loading and off-loading areas;
 Development of emergency response plans for the site
particularly in case of fire or explosion;
 Provision of on-site medical facility/first aid;
 Provision of appropriate lighting during night-time works;
 Implementation of speed limits for trucks entering and
exiting the site;
 Implementation of nationally and internationally adopted
safety guidelines

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

 Impact Construction mitigation measures
Visual quality  Planting of flora can be initiated in order to enhance the
aesthetics of the area.
 Once construction is over, additional planting of flora is
recommended to ensure optimum visual integration of
the water intake associated facilities.
Biodiversity  Secure fencing of areas not required for land-take prior
to
commencement of work
 Minimize the outward light emissions
 Maintain a buffer zone around the site to minimize
disturbance to animals
 Minimize litter blow by good cover, fencing and hand-
picking as necessary
 Avoid any alteration of the physical and chemical
components of the habitat surrounding the facility site
 The generated construction debris can be used for filling
purposes or may be stockpiled and stored for future use.
 The Contractor should carry out sorting of construction
wastes into various categories and adopt reuse/recycle
activities on-site whenever deemed possible.

Waste generation  General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins

separate from construction wastes and should be
collected and transported to a nearby dump site or
special arrangements should be made for their collection
on a regular basis
 Domestic wastewater should be collected in a proper
storage tank and should be transported for treatment on
a regular basis where public sewer network is not
available and where onsite package sewage treatment
plant is not available.
Socio-economics  Local communities should be given priority in terms of
job opportunities, especially to interested individuals or
families in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
 Economic incentives should be provided to the local
community by the Contractor including the employment
of locals for the associated works to the maximum extent
possible

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

Page 17 of 213
 Traffic  A properly developed and implemented traffic control
plan is
essential in order to avoid any potential traffic impacts,
especially where the distribution network will be
replaced.
 Movement and transportation of machinery and vehicles
outside the site must be restricted to off-peak traffic
hours and nighttime, in order to avoid traffic congestion.
 Adequate warning, signing, delineation and channeling
should be installed at least 500m from the facility site.
 The direct access road to the water intake structure and
water treatment plant should be rehabilitated in order to
accommodate for heavy duty vehicles and must have
sufficient width to allow trucks to pass through without
any difficulty

The summary in Table 1 is a basic general requirement for EIA. The Contractor shall
follow all necessary [MEWA – GAMEP] requirements for EIA.

Table 2 - Summary of EIA Requirements and Guidelines for Operation Phase

Impact Operation mitigation measures

Topography and  All equipment should be regularly maintained so that
geology any imbalances (to the impellers of the pumping stations
for example) are effectively corrected otherwise they
may have significant vibration impacts and accordingly
impacts on the stability of the surrounding geological
formations.
 Such vibrations could be absorbed and thus alleviated
by providing anti-vibration measures to the pumps
during the structural design.
Soil  It should be ensured that the all components of the
water intake structure, including the lower gallery, are
regularly maintained in order to ensure that any
malfunctioning is immediately observed and accordingly
corrected.
 The shaft will allow for regular maintenance procedures
to be carried out.
 Sheet piling is considered in the design of the water
intake structure at the river banks to provide stability and
protection against erosion.

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

Page 18 of 213
 Impact Operation mitigation measures
Air quality  Air emissions from the high lift raw water pumping
station of the water intake structure can have significant
impacts on air quality if not properly and effectively
maintained.
 Air emissions from the high lift pumping station and the
emergency power generation facility associated with the
water treatment plant can also have significant impacts
on air quality if not properly maintained.
 Any malfunctions resulting in air emissions above the
acceptable limits should be immediately fixed.
 Dust emissions and offensive odors from the alum
powder used at the alum building at the water treatment
plant can have major impacts on the respiratory systems
of on-site workers and their families living on site and in
addition the odors can be a major nuisance. The design
of the plant took this into consideration placing the alum
building as far as was technically possible from the
operator’s houses, in addition to planting trees all along
the outer periphery of the alum building.
 There should be compliance with all relevant air
emission standards at all times during the operation
phase.
 Accidental leakage of chlorine gas can have major
impacts on air quality and human health. Thus it is
necessary to install chlorine gas detectors in the
chlorination building at the water treatment plant which
upon detecting any leakage will immediately shut down
all operations until further corrective action is taken.
Noise and vibration  It should be ensured that ear protectors should be
provided as necessary to any maintenance staff or on
site workers that may be entering the high lift pumping
station rooms associated with the water intake structure
as well as the high lift pumping stations and emergency
power generators at the water treatment plant.
 It should be ensured that all equipment is properly
balanced by the manufacturer prior to purchase and
operation and these should be regularly monitored and
maintained to ensure that there is no malfunctioning at
any time during operation.
 In case of any malfunctioning operation should be
ceased and the back-up generator should be operated.

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

Page 19 of 213
 Impact Operation mitigation measures
Safety  Periodic monitoring and maintenance is of high priority
to limiting possible malfunctioning and associated
problems.
 Other mitigation measures that will reduce potential
safety impacts include site security, site safety,
emergency or contingency plans, as well as fire fighting.
 Potential risks may rise from the chlorine tanks in the
chlorination building at the water treatment plant. These
should be properly fixed to the foundation in order to
avoid any potential safety problems.
 Chlorine gas detectors should be installed at the
chlorination building and nearby to detect any accidental
trace emissions/leakage of chlorine gas and thus
automatically shut down all operations until further
corrective actions is taken.
 Alum should be properly handled during storage,
loading and unloading at the water treatment plant in
order to prevent health and safety impacts to on-site
workers by inhalation of any emissions.
 All chemicals used at the water treatment plant should
be properly stored and should not be easily accessible
in order to avoid any potential health and safety impacts.
Visual quality  Preservation of existing trees on site if any and
minimizing vegetation cover removal or disturbance
when possible.

00_TES_SD_002.01 Issue Date 31/10/2012

disturbance
to animals
 Minimize litter blow by good cover, fencing and hand-
picking
 Minimize the outward light emissions at the facility
 Avoid any alteration of the physical and chemical
Waste generation components of the habitat surrounding the site
 General refuse should be segregated at source if
possible
(recyclables in separate storage bins) and properly
stored and accordingly collected on a regular basis for
transportation to a nearby landfill.
 Domestic wastewater which will be generated from the
administrative buildings associated with the water intake
structure and the water treatment plant should be
collected in properly designed sewage storage tanks
and collected on a frequent basis for transportation to a
nearby treatment plant, where public sewer network is
not available and where onsite package sewage
treatment plant is not available.
 Sludge and filter backwash water will be generated from
the sludge treatment process at the water treatment
plant which should be properly handled at all times to
avoid contamination of the surrounding environment.
Sludge will be treated on site and the end product shall
be properly disposed of at a nearby landfill or
alternatively it could be discharged into a sanitary sewer
network if it exists nearby. The filter backwash water
should also be properly handled at all times in order to
avoid impacts to the surrounding environment.
 Chlorine gas tanks and alum package bags generated
at the water treatment plant should also be collected and
disposed of properly at all times as necessary.
Socio-economics  Local communities should be given priority in terms of
job opportunities, especially to interested individuals or
families in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
 Economic incentives should be provided to the local
community by the Contractor including the employment
of locals for the associated works to the maximum
