7.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Mangalore Cement Unit is fully automated terminal and located in the New Mangalore port
area at Panambur. Cement in bulk is brought to the terminal through 16000 to 18000-
tonner specially designed bulk carriers from Gujarat Cement Works. The bulk carrier’s
completely closed covers have an aerated bottom with a vertical screw conveyor system
for removal of cement from the hold and a compressed air system near the berth.

1. Chartered vessel (with self-uploading and pneumatic discharge system) carries

bulk cement from Gujarat to Mangalore.
2. Cement is being conveyed pneumatically from the ship to cyclone separators.
3. Cyclone separators and dust collectors provided to separate cement from the
conveying air.
4. Cement is discharged on the belt conveyor for onward movement to cylindrical
cement silos.
5. Negative draft is being maintained to prevent escape of dust emission to
atmosphere.
6. The packing machine received cement from the silos through air slides and bucket
elevator.
7. Silos are weather proof and equipped with aeration system at the bottom to extract
bulk cement. Dust collectors are installed to control fugitive emissions from silos.
Advantages of Pipe Conveyor
The pipe conveyor is such a design special grade belt, which will not allow dust particle to
come out and running efficiently. Compressor room are present at port end to supply dry
air in JPF for purging air inside to release cement from special filter bags installed in JPF.

Cement is being transported by pipe conveyor belt and not by bowser/ tanker. There are
good reasons that it saves HSD – fuel, conjuction in road traffic and dust proof and
operational during monsoon period.
1st of its state of art conveying system, which is functional even during monsoon because
of its pipe shape.
1. At receiving end belt will open for filling at respected Silo. There we have installed
dust collectors like JPF [ Jet pulse filter} on each silo and at the discharge end we
have cassette filter which does not allow dust to fly in air, top of the silo is fully well
equipped with latest dust collectors and covered with shed to keep dust free
operation.
2. The terminal has three storage silos of capacity 6000 M.T. each for storing cement
with the pumping huge quantity of air from the bottom of the silo through aeration
nozzle pipes for homogenization process. This cement will be extracted for bagging.
Each silo contains 16 Meters length screw conveyor with 14 manual gates. As per
the requirement the gates will be opened & cement flows to the bucket elevator
through the 40 Meters common screw conveyor & falls on to the 20-ton capacity
feed hopper through a rotary screen.
3. Cement will be received at RU12 packer for bagging through feed valve for
maintaining the packer level. The designed capacity of packer output is 95 TPH.
The cement will be bagged & weighs 50 KGs moves to the truck loader equipment
through RBC. We have JPF- latest filter for collecting cement particles from packer
area for recycling and to keep healthy working atmosphere. At truck loader area the
bags will be loaded into the trucks with JPF- filtration installation for making dust
free environment & dispatched to the required destination as per the requirement
of Marketing.

11.1 Meteorology
Under the Köppen climate classification, Mangalore has a tropical monsoon climate and is
under the direct influence of the Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon. It receives
about 95 percent of its total annual rainfall between May to September but remains extremely
dry from December to March. Humidity is approximately 75 percent on average and peaks
during June, July and August. The maximum average humidity is 93 percent in July and
Unit.
average minimum humidity is 56 percent in January. Mangalore experiences moderate to

gusty winds during day time and gentle winds at night. The driest and least humid months
are from December to February. During this time of year temperatures during the day stay
below 34 °C (93 °F) and drop to about 19 °C (66 °F) at night. The lowest temperature
recorded at Panambur is 15.6 °C (60 °F) on 8 January 1992 and at Bajpe it is 15.9 °C (61
°F) on 19 November 1974. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the
temperature in Mangalore has never reached 40 °C (104 °F). The summer gives way to the
monsoon season, when the city experiences the highest precipitation of all urban centers in
India due to the influence of the Western Ghats. The rains subside in September but there is
occasional rainfall in October. The highest rainfall recorded in a 24-hour period is 330.8 mm
(13 in) on 22 June 2003. In 1994, Mangalore recorded its highest annual rainfall at 5,018.52
mm (198 in). Past 30 years of Mangalore Meteorological data
The average rainfall of the district 3789.9 mm and is received mainly during the southwest
monsoon season extending from June to September. About 85% of the annual rainfall occurs
during the monsoon months. Post -monsoon season yields about 8% and the balance of
annual rainfall from December to March. This district on the West Coast of India experiences
a typical maritime climate. The district is marked by heavy rainfall, high humidity and
oppressive weather in hot season. Generally, the weather is hot and humid throughout the
year. In the eastern part of the district i.e., along the Western Ghats, the weather is
comparatively cooler than in the western coastal areas.

Soil observations and Interpretation:
a) Physical Properties of Soil
The physical properties of soil determine the aeration of the soil and the ability of water to
infiltrate and to be held in the soil, Color, Bulk density, Water Holding Capacity etc. Soil in
the study area is Sandy loam to sandy clay loam. The soil being of friable consistency, the
bulk density & water holding capacity of the soil in the range of 1088 to 1143 kg/m3 & 53.7-
57.2 respectively.
b) Chemical Properties of Soil
The collected soil samples were analyzed for various chemical parameters. The parameters
selected were pH, electrical conductivity, soluble anions and cations, nutrients and organic
carbon content.
pH is an important parameter indicating alkaline and acidic nature of soil. It severally affects
the microbial population as well as the solubility of metal ions that regulates nutrient
availability. The pH of the soil in the study area is Neutral to slightly alkaline having pH is in
the range of 6.9-7.5.
The soluble salts were determined from soil extract (1:2). The soluble salts are expressed in
terms of electrical conductivity (EC). The (Electrical Conductivity) of the soil extract in the
study area is in the range of 0.173-0.1.05 mS/cm. which is less than 2 mS/cm indicating no
salinity problem to be expected in the soil.
CEC is in between 25.3 and 28 meq /100g, moreover it can be interpreted that soil has
Moderate productivity & high absorption capacity.
Most of the important cations present in soluble salts in the soil are Calcium, Magnesium,
Sodium, Potassium; it was observed that the concentration levels of Calcium and
Magnesium were 98- to 106, 44 to 64 mg/kg, & Sodium, Potassium 46-62, 32-48 mg/kg
respectively.

Unit.
c) Nutrient Status of Soil
Organic matter present in the soil influences its physical and chemical properties. It
commonly accounts as one third or more of the cation exchange capacity of surface soil and
is also responsible for stability of soil aggregates. Analysis shows that the concentration of
organic matter is in the range of 0.8 to 1.1% and total organic carbon is in the range of 0.5
to 0.7 %. Table 3.3 c) on comparison with the classification it was observed that Soil samples
are Medium fertile in nature based on organic carbon contents.
Available phosphorous potassium and nitrogen, of the soil samples are found to be in the
range of 66-78, 215-278 & 111 -120 kg/ha respectively, It was observed that P2O5 content
in the soil indicates fertile soil & K20 content in the soil indicates medium fertile soil, while
Nitrogen content in the soil are adequate to classify the soil as poor fertile.
d) Heavy Metal Content in the Soil
The heavy metals occur in the solution as cations and are adsorbed by the negatively
charged soil particle. They are held strongly as complex on the surface of clay, alumino
silicates, hydrated oxide and humus. In general adsorption increases with pH, heavy metals
pollution is serious because it can persist for many decades. The heavy metals also create
problems in the nutrient utilization in plant and also marked reduction in chlorophyll content.
Soil samples were also analyzed for heavy metals such as Chromium (Cr), Zinc (Zn), Lead
(Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu)
and their concentrations are presented in the presence of heavy metals at proper pH
enhances the microbial activity. In soil the concentration of heavy metals found in the study
area is normal.

Avicennea officinalis along with other species such as Kandelia candel, Avicennea alba,
Rhizophora mucronata, Vegetation including mangroves in the study area along the Gurupur
estuary.
11.7 Socio Economic
Concerning the sex structure of the respondents, 52 percent of the respondents were males while
48 percent were females. This finding is in line with the trend of the sex structure of household
heads in India, whereby males dominate.
The average household size was found to be 5 members.
Education is one of the keys to success and development and as such, people pay much
attention to their educational status. Most of the sample respondents interviewed had some kind
of formal education. Nearly 75 % of the respondents had attained education till graduation also
Post Graduation, whereas 20 % of the respondents have completed SSC/HSC. 5 percent of the
respondents have education till primary (Class 1-5) as the formal education.
Availability of toilet is an important indicator of the sanitation. Public Toilet facility are available in
study area. Many local respondents were aware of the project, which reflects that the project
proponent has carried out regular consultation with the local resident and fisherman. All
respondents are in support of the project fully. Their only demand is to give the preference to
local people for working labour, labour contractors, transporters and raw material suppliers etc.

12.0 Marine Ecology
The entire Marine Ecology data is provided by New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) and it
was sourced from the report with titlw “Marine Ecology, Biodiversity Impact Assessment
and Environmental Management Plan for The Development of Multi-Purpose Cargo Berth
at New Mangalore Port, Mangalore” report which was prepared by “CSIR-National Institute
of Oceanography”, India. Baseline marine ecology data generated during October 2022
has been provided by NMPT and the same is used in the present report.
12.1 Microbiology
Surface water from 27 stations are collected for the study i.e. 1 to 6 is New Mangalore Port, 7 to
18, R1 & R2 (reference) is Nearshore Waters of Mangalore and 19 to 25 is Netravati-Gurupura
estuarine system. Samples were analyzed for Total Plate count (TPC), Total bacterial count (TC)
and Most Probable Number count (MPN).
Total plate count (TPC) of bacteria was estimated using plate count method after serial dilution
in physiological saline as seen in Figure-9. The TPC ranged from 1.3×103 to 23.75×103 cfu ml-1

shown in Figure-10. The highest count (23.75x103) was seen in Station 15 and lower count
(1.3×103 cfu ml-1) in station 5.
Total count of bacteria was estimated using epifluorescence microscopy (EFM) followed by
Acridine orange staining shown in Figure-11. The counts ranged from 0.45×106 to 8.72x106 cells
ml-1 are shown in Figure-12. The highest count (8.72x106 cells ml-1) was seen in Station 2 and
lower count (0.45×106 cells ml-1) in station 21.

12.2 Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton biomass (Chlorophyll a)

The New Mangalore Port waters, in general, showed an exceptionally high phytoplankton
chlorophyll a both in the surface (av. 9.78±4.56 mg m-3) and bottom (av. 5.14±3.22 mg m-3) waters
during the sampling period compared to the nearshore waters and Netravati-Gurupura estuarine
system. The chlorophyll a in the New Mangalore Port waters varied from 3.31 to 14.73 mg m-3 on
the surface and 1.81 to 10.48 mg m-3 at the bottom. In the nearshore waters of Mangalore, the
chlorophyll a concentration was ranged from 0.51 to 7.3 mg m-3 on the surface (av. 2.56 ± 1.77 mg
m-3) and 0.62 to 5.5 mg m-3 at the bottom (av. 2.17±1.55 mg m-3). The reference station R2 showed
maximum chlorophyll a concentration (7.3 mg m-3) in the nearshore waters. The Netravati-
Gurupura estuarine system sustained low phytoplankton growth, wherein chlorophyll a levels
varied from 0.29 to 6.07 mg m-3 in the surface (av. 2.53±2.49 mg m-3) and 0.24 to 3.79 mg m-3 in
the bottom (av. 2±1.59 mg m-3). The concentration of phaeophytin (degradation product of
chlorophyll a) also showed a distinctive spatial variation (0.02-2.86 mg m-3) in the study region. A
relatively higher concentration of phaeophytin was recorded in the bottom waters of all the sampling
stations and it was apparently evident in the nearshore waters of Mangalore. Chlorophyll a and
Phaeophytin, surface and bottom sampling stations are given in Table-23.

Phytoplankton abundance, composition and diversity
The results of phytoplankton species composition data showed a remarkable increase in

abundance (2 to 3-fold) in the surface waters of New Mangalore Port compared to the nearshore
waters and the Netravati-Gurupura estuarine system. The nearshore waters of Mangalore
recorded the maximum number of phytoplankton species (79) including 57 species of diatoms, 20
species of dinoflagellates and one species each of cyanophytes and silicoflagellates. The New
Mangalore port waters recorded 49 species of phytoplankton including 35 diatoms, 13
dinoflagellates, and 1 cyanobacteria. The Netravati-Gurupura estuaries encountered a total of 43
species of phytoplankton (26 diatoms,14 dinoflagellates, 2 chlorophytes and 1 cyanobacteria.
Maximum phytoplankton abundance in the New Mangalore Port was recorded at station 1 (20350
cells L-1) and the minimum was observed at station 5 (8330 cells L-1). In the nearshore waters of
Mangalore, maximum abundance was recorded at the reference station RF1 (9250 cells L-1) and
the minimum was at station 16 (1620 cells L-1). In the Netravati-Gurupura estuarine system,
relatively higher abundance of phytoplankton was observed in the Gurupura estuarine region
compared to Netravati. In all three sampling regions, diatoms were the predominant phytoplankton
Unit.
group (70-90% of total abundance). The species composition of diatoms was spatially highly
variable in the whole study region. In the New Mangalore port region, diatoms such as
Skeletonema costatum, Navicula directa, Cylindrotheca closterium, Pseudonitzschia sp.,
Coscinodiscus sp. Rhizosolenia sp. Guinardia striata etc. were dominated almost in all sampling
stations.
In the nearshore waters, although diatoms were reported to be the dominant taxa, dominance of
specific diatom species was not discernible any of the sampling stations. However, in the
Netravati-Gurupura estuaries, a distinctive dominance of Skeletonema costatum was observed
almost in all sampling stations. Dinoflagellates were the second dominant phytoplankton taxa
observed irrespective of the sampling stations. The abundance of dominant dinoflagellate
species recorded in the whole study region was depicted in the respective. Nominal abundance
of cyanobacteria and silicoflagellates was observed in the nearshore waters, in particular.
However, the upstream regions of both Netravati and Gurupura estuaries, showed the
abundance of green algal species, specifically Staurastrum sp. and Scenedesmus sp. (Fig 46a-
b). Generally, the New Mangalore port region showed the occurrence of maximum phytoplankton
species, almost in all stations, compared to the nearshore waters and Netravati-Gurupura
estuarine regions. On the other hand, phytoplankton species diversity (H’) was noticeably higher
(2.8 ± 0.4) in the nearshore waters than the other two regions. The species composition of
diatoms was spatially highly variable in the whole study region in Tables 24-25.

12.3 Mesozooplankton
Mesozooplankton range in size from 200 μm to 2 cm, and are the principal food source for many
commercially important fishes. They are important food sources for both omnivore and
carnivorous fishes. Mesozooplankton is crucial in the transfer of organic carbon along the food
chain, from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels (Anger, 2003). Even slight changes in their
physical, chemical, and biological environments cause them to react (Madhupratap et al., 1996).
Tables 26-29 and Figures-13 illustrate the total abundance and biomass of mesozooplankton
and Table 27-29 shows abundance of individual groups. In comparison to the new Mangalore
port and river sectors, the coastal region displayed significantly higher mesozooplankton
abundance (avg. 8429.36 nos./m³) and biomass (avg. 1.88 ml/m³). The sites within the New
Mangalore port (av. 12587.60 nos./m³ & avg. 2.52 ml/m³) and the riverine region (avg. 8.62
nos./m³ & avg. 0.05 ml/m³) had lowest abundance and biomass.
FIGURE-13. MESOZOOPLANKTON FROM THE STUDY AREA, WITH A DOMINANCE OF

COPEPODS
Unit.
The highest abundance was found at coastal location 9 (21526.45 nos./m³), but highest biomass
found at coastal location 15 (4.54 ml/m³). This was due to the presence of doliolids (2958.47
nos./m³) which are relatively large, gelatinous zooplankton. The lowest abundance (1.68
nos./m³) and biomass (0.02 ml/m³) found at river location 23. In total, 21 mesozooplankton
groups were observed among coastal and port stations, with a dominance of copepods and
cladocerans. Fish larvae were found abundant among the riverine locations (avg. 4.91 nos./m³).
The most dominant groups such as copepods (19954.92 nos./m³) and cladocerans (6859.91
nos./m³) were found abundant at station 9 (coastal station) and station 1 (port area),
respectively.

12.4 Benthic fauna
The organisms associated with substrata of the benthic zone of the water body are referred to
as benthos, which comprise huge diversity of species that reside in, on, or above the sediment
ranging from bacteria to large, mobile megafauna. The substrate and its interactions with the
biotic and abiotic components of the water column are fundamental factors in determining the
composition of benthic communities. They provide exclusive ecological processes from the
micro to the macro scale implying the community's overall significance in the aquatic
ecosystem. Benthos are responsible for organic matter cycling, redox conditions, associated
microbial activity, and benthic solute fluxes through feeding and digestion, as well as burrowing
activity. Based on their size structure, benthos are classified into three groups; the macro, meio,
and microbenthos. Macrofauna is the dominant group of organisms in the benthic community
large enough to be retained on a 500μm. The major taxonomic groups represented among
macrofauna are the annelids, crustaceans and molluscs, and echinoderms. The size of
meiobenthos varies from 63μm to the upper limit depending upon the mesh size of the sieve
used for separating macrobenthos from meiobenthos. Major groups of meiofauna are
represented by nematodes, foraminiferans, harpacticoid copepods, etc. Microbenthos are the
smallest size group comprised of those organisms that are not retained in the finest sieve used
for meiobenthos separation. It is represented by bacteria and most protozoans.

13.0 RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN:

Risk Assessment & Damage Control Risk assessment is the determination of quantitative and
qualitative value of risk related to a concrete situation and a recognized threat. Activities
requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and
accident are both onsite and off-site.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) The cement manufacturing industry is labor
intensive and uses large scale and potentially hazardous manufacturing processes. The industry
experiences accident rates that are high compared with some other manufacturing industries.
Following hazards may occur in grinding unit: i. Physical hazards. ii. Loading /Unloading
/Packaging operations. iii. Raw material/product storage area. iv. Cleaning operations. v.
Electrocution/electrical hazards. These mainly impact on those working within the industry,
although health hazards can also impact on local communities.
Identification of sources of Fire

i) Oil and lubricant room.
ii) Diesel Pump/storage area.
iii) Electrical faults.

Unit.
13.1 Maximum Credible Accident Scenario Analysis:
➢ Physical hazards Injuries during project operation are typically related to slips, trips and
fall; contact with falling/moving objects and lifting/ over- exertion. Other injuries may occur
due to contact with or capture in operating machinery. Activities related to maintenance
of equipment, including crushers, mills, mill separators, fans and belt conveyors;
represent a significant source of exposure to physical hazards. Such hazards may include
the following: Falling / impact with objects Transportation.
➢ Loading/Unloading operation/ Storage: Movement of heavy good vehicles for unloading

material, Work inside hopper/Silo for unblocking of mouth, Excessive dust during
loading/unloading operation, Conveyor moving parts, Cleaning of spread outs,
Unauthorized passages, travelling over transportation system, Unclean platforms causing
staggering and falls.
➢ Cement mills (Grinding unit): Failure of rotating parts of machinery, Fall of material from
height in case where protection ducting is blocked, Hurling of mill(shell) parts, Exposure
to Noise & Dust, Work Environment without sufficient ventilation, Hurling of dust or coming
into contact with hot material, Manual handling of loads, Getting hit crushed or trapped by
machinery.
➢ Silo cleaning operation: Work in confined spaces may lead to suffocation. Falling of
material can lead to an accident. Falling of personal from working platform Exposure to
dust & Heat, Use of lifting equipment, Use of hand held work equipment during cleaning.
➢ Electrical Hazard due to Dust: Electrical equipment such as motors, circuit breakers,
transformers and switchgear can produce sparks and ignite dust clouds and hybrid
dust/air mixtures in the vicinity. Reference is taken from CCPS Guidelines for safe
handling of Bulk solids. Entry of dust into enclosures with subsequent ignition causes
smouldering or burring. Dust that enters an enclosure will settle out as layers on internal
surfaces and become heated. Electrically conductive dusts cause short-circuiting when
deposited on exposed electrical components and circuits. Abrasive and/or corrosive dusts
damages components of electrical equipment.
➢ Flood, Earthquake and Other Natural Calamities: In case of a land slide, earthquake or
any other natural calamity, the Emergency Controller will immediately inform the process
in charge/director who will contact the Local Municipal Administrator, Fire brigade and
police for remedial actions. The staff on duty or other personnel as given under plant
personnel emergency notification list will be called for alertness. Emergency vehicles will
be kept ready. Supervisor/ Incharge of the site will be alerted.
➢ Rain and Storm Process in charge/shift in charge will take the following actions in case of
storm: See that all the Electrical Inventories and Machines are properly placed and away
from the contact from water. See that all the machines/material at height which is in the
rigging process is grounded. All the workers working at height are grounded. In case
people are trapped at site for long hour appropriate facilities to be provided by the service
provider. If necessary, head count to be initiated to see that someone is not missing. All
loose, light objects will be removed from the site, which could become hazardous missiles
during high winds. Buckets, ladders, maintenance materials etc are to be placed in the
safe place. Hydra, trucks, welding machines etc. are to be placed in the safe place. All
construction materials i.e. beams, pipes, power equipment’s etc. which cannot be moved
to a safe location are to be latched in place in the best possible manner known.

Unit.
➢ Riot or Civil Disturbances Procedure or Bomb Threat or Terrorist Attack If there are
persons, on or near company property with the suspected intent of causing damage to
the property, injury to the plant personnel, disruption of normal operations, etc. The
information will be given to Director of the company and the following steps will be taken:
Local police station will be informed, if required. The staff on duty or other personnel as
given under plant personnel emergency notification list will be called for alertness. In
charge/ Director will instruct to the security to close and look all the site entry gates. It will
be ensured that no unauthorized person is allowed access to the site without proper
identification. Emergency vehicles will be kept ready.
➢ Mitigation Measures Following management measures are already implemented and will
be continued to prevent the physical hazards in the plant: Work permit system to ensure
proper management control on the hazardous work activities like maintenance work
required energy isolation, work in confined space, lifting & supporting loads, work at height
and earth excavation. Any person working on equipment with moving parts is personally
ensured that the equipment is deenergized, isolated and locked/tagged out.
Any person working from a position with the potential risk for a fall height has to use fall
protection. Any person doing flame welding, cutting or brazing in the proximity of any
flammable material has to use standard hot work equipment’s. Prescribed PPE are provided
to all workers exposed to open processes or systems. In case of any accident, immediate &
proper medical care are being provided at the plant site and nearby hospital and nursing
home. To minimize traffic hazard, unidirectional vehicular movement will be implemented for
the proposed unit.
13.2 Disaster Management Plan:
There shall be adequate measures for monitoring the local site conditions.
➢ Cameras will be installed at strategic locations for monitoring.

➢ The design of the structure will be such that the water does not enter the buildings.
➢ The evacuation capacity of the transport system shall be designed in such a way that the
silo can be emptied out in minimum possible time.
➢ There will be 16 extraction gates from silo and the extraction capacity shall be 500 TPH.
Thus, the silo cane be emptied in 24 hours.
➢ The operation near silo will be automated and minimum manpower shall be engaged.
There shall be PLC based system with required instruments for automated operation. The
manpower engaged shall be around 12 – 15.
➢ The plant will be in close coordination with respective Meteorology, Data science
department of the local government for obtaining required data to monitor the climate and
to get early warnings for taking appropriate steps well in advance.
➢ Appropriate training and mock drills at regular intervals will be conducted for quick
response during any natural disaster.
➢ The Management will put in place a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for
management of Natural Disasters. The SOP will include guidelines for search and rescue
operations, medical assistance, casualty management, evacuation, restoration and other
important activities.

15.0 IMPACT OF EXPANSION & MITIGATION MEASURES
The anticipated environmental impacts of the proposed existing project would be mainly due
to the construction and operational activities. The environmental parameters likely to be
affected are related to many factors, viz. physical, social, and economic, agriculture and
aesthetic.
Unit.
The construction & operation phases of the project can disturb the environment in various
ways, such as change in air, noise level; water and soil quality of that area. While for the
purpose of development and economic up-lift of people, there is need for establishment of
industries, but these must be environmentally friendly and sustainable. Therefore, it is
essential to assess the impacts of cement packing plant expansion on different environmental
and socio-economic parameters; so that, abatement measures could be planned prevent,
minimize/reduce, mitigate, offset, or compensate for adverse impacts; and to maximize
positive impacts where practicable.
The impact assessment has been undertaken following a systematic process that identifies,
predicts and evaluates the impacts the project could have on aspects of the physical,
biological, social/ socio-economic and cultural environment, and identifies measures that the
project will take to avoid, minimize/reduce, mitigate, offset or compensate for adverse impacts;
and to enhance positive impacts where practicable. The stages of the impact assessment
process comprise of the following:
➢ Impact identification: to identify the potential impact of the project on the various
environmental parameters.
➢ Impact mitigation: to identify appropriate and justified measures to mitigate negative

impacts and enhance positive impacts.
