Some of the negative impacts are includes: (i) land disturbances and soil erosion; (ii) depletion of materials and degradation at extraction sites; (iii) disturbance or distortion of natural drainage systems and water flow; (iv) impaired air quality and climatological changes; (v) nuisance and disturbances; (vi) loss or physical damage of indigenous vegetation and contained biodiversity and species of concern; (vii) agricultural occupation health and safety hazards; Some of the mitigation measures are include : (i) contractor shall identify erosion prone areas, identify permanent erosion control measures (applicable for a particular site): avoidance or minimization of soil erosion; machinery operations; soil erosion control using vegetation; soil erosion control mechanical measures; (ii) contractor shall institute measures for controlling use of materials; avoiding losses due to spillage and leakage; (iii) fontractor shall identify types and categories of solid or liquid wastes a subproject will generate or handle i.e. soil and demolition materials, biodegradable or organic wastes; packaging materials; non-biodegradable (metallic, plastic), hazardous wastes i.e. medical wastes, chemicals, oily substances; (iv) contractor shall use best available mechanisms, practices and technologies for waste collection and transportation to designated waste treatment facilities and waste disposal sites; (v) minimize habitats or vegetation loss through i.e. avoidance strategies such as circumventing natural areas; (vi) minimize vegetation loss through avoidance cutting mature trees, use of existing cleared areas and replanting as appropriate; (vii) minimize loss or damage of valuable trees or plants through i.e. avoidance strategies such as circumventing farmed or natural areas; (viii) safety measures and procedures are adequate and correctly implemented, particularly with regards to work procedures, equipment, and materials and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
