THE PROJECT

PROJECT SUCH AS THE PORT DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE A NUMBER OF IMPACTS TO THE AREA IN WHICH IT IS BEING DEVELOPED THROUGH THE VARIOUS PHASES OF

DEVELOPMENT (CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION) INCLUDING ;

• BIO PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL – MARINE• BIO PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL - TERRESTIAL

• SOCIAL IMPACTS• ECONOMIC IMPACTS

HOW DO WE IDENTIFY THE IMPACTS

What could happen as a

consequence of the project activities?

Is it important/

significant?

What can be done about it?

Is an impact still significant or not reduced

To ALARP?

The current design and the

mitigation incorporated

Stakeholders can help

to decide this, eg through ongoing consultation and

workshops

Interact w ith Design(and

stakeholders)to developsolutions

For some impacts the sequence may need to be repeated

Predict Evaluate Mitigate Residual Impact

DETERMINING THE IMPACT MAGNITUDE

• Status of compliance with relevant Ghanaian legislation, policies and plans and any relevant Ghanaian or industry policies, standards or guidelines;

• the nature of the change (what resource or receptor is affected and how);

• the spatial extent of the area impacted or proportion of the population or community affected;

• its temporal extent (i.e. duration, frequency, reversibility); and

• where relevant (accidental or unplanned events), the probability or likelihood of the impact occurring.

CATEGORIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

Low Magnitude Impact

Moderate Magnitude Impact

High Magnitude Impact

Low value / low sensitivity receptor or resource, within standards

Minor Minor Moderate

Moderate value / sensitivity receptor or resource, within standards

Minor Moderate Major

High value / sensitivity receptor or resource, exceeding standards

Moderate Major Major

REMEMBER WE CAN HAVE POSITIVE IMPACTS AS WELL!

IMPACT ON TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENT

MAIN AREAS WE LOOKED AT;

• SOILS• GROUNDWATER• SURFACE WATER• PLANTS AND HABITATS• BIRD LIFE• FRESHWATER FISH• AIR QUALITY• NOISE AND VIBRATION• TRAFFIC• VISUAL CHARACTER

IMPACT ON MARINE ENVIRONMENT

MAIN AREAS WE LOOKED AT;

• IMPACT ON UNDERWATER NOISE• IMPACT ON MARINE MAMMALS• IMPACT ON SEA TURTLES• IMPACT ON FISH

IMPACT ON SOCIAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

MAIN AREAS WE LOOKED AT;

• IMPACT ON ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL DISPLACEMENT• IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEM SERVICES• IMPACT ON LIVELIHOODS• IMPACT ON SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, SERVICES AND

LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAPACITY• IMPACT ON SOCIO- CULTURAL IMPACTS• IMPACT ON HEALTH• IMPACT ON TOURISM

Mitigation Breakwater and the groyne will be built before any dredging activity is carried out. Less rocks dumped during the early stages of the construction of the break water, this will increase gradually to enable water organisms become used to the change that would be occurring in their habitatDredged soil will not be disposed off at sea It will be used as fill on the onshore siteOil monitors will be placed on vessels to monitor discharge and keep record of oil content to verify effective controls are in place.

Put up proper drainage system Silt traps to avoid choking of drainage systemsWaste from vessels would be dispose of at high deep sea making sure floating solids are taken care off.Waste generated from the camp will be disposed off at a licensed waste disposal facility to avoid contaminationCompile and implement storm water management plan for construction activities

Vessels and dredging contractors will ensure that collision is avoided and a distance of 100m is maintained between sea mammals and vessels

Fuel will be stored in a location dedicated for this purpose and tanks well-covered to avoid rain water from entering the bund.

Limit the amount of destruction to the wetland areas and pondsMinimise the siltation of pondsA complete Livelihood restoration programme will be in place,Training and skills development programme for those who will be employed by the port, Developed programmes to facilitate setting up of self –employed business.
