... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: to avoid forced eviction; to mitigate unavoidable adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition or restrictions on land use by: (a) providing timely compensation for loss of assets at replacement cost and (b) assisting displaced persons in their efforts to improve, or at least restore, their livelihoods and living standards, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher; to improve living conditions of poor or vulnerable persons who are physically displaced, through provision of adequate housing, access to services and facilities, and security of tenure; to conceive and execute resettlement activities as sustainable development programs, providing enough investment resources to enable displaced persons to benefit directly from the project, as the nature of the project may warrant; and to ensure that resettlement activities are planned and implemented with appropriate disclosure of information, meaningful consultation, and the informed participation of those affected.

... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) speed limits for construction heavy vehicles should not exceed 30 kilometer per hour near residential areas; (2) the sitting of transmission facilities must seek to avoid to the maximum extent possible areas of high irrigation suitability; (3) restrict vegetation clearing and topsoil removal to the areas strictly required for construction; (4) avoid the movement of machinery on river beds and floodplain areas, as much as possible; (5) promote the selection of areas with less of a need for tree cutting for temporary work and storage areas; (6) strictly limit the clearing of vegetation to the required areas, particularly in areas of natural habitats; (7) avoid movement of heavy machinery in wetlands, river banks, river beds, and waterbodies; (8) vegetation removal activities should be accompanied by an ecology and biology specialist, to minimize as much as possible the death of tree roosting animals; and (9) develop and implement a compensation plan, to adequately compensate for any losses of crops due to powerline construction.
