7.9 Potential Impacts and Mitigation

The document presents the findings of an environmental and social impact assessment for the construction of bridges and approaches on the Tamu-Kyigone-Kalewa Road in Myanmar. The assessment found that the project is unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts. Some minor impacts identified include the cutting of 158 trees, increased air and noise pollution during construction, and waste generation. Mitigation measures are proposed to address these impacts, such as compensatory tree planting, dust suppression, noise control measures, and proper waste disposal. The report recommends implementing an environmental management plan during construction and operation to avoid and minimize environmental impacts.

KD5 :Final Feasibility Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility Report for Construction of Bridges including

Report including Schedules Approaches on Tamu – Kyigone – Kalewa Road Section from km 0.00 to km 149.70 in Myanmar

To evaluate the efficiency of mitigation and enhancement measures, updating the actions &
impacts of baseline data and adaptation of additional mitigation measures (if the present measures
are insufficient) and generation of the data that may be incorporated in the environmental
management plan in future projects.
7.9 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

The finding of E & SIA indicates that project is unlikely to cause any significant adverse
environmental impacts. While some of the impacts are negative, there are many bearing benefits to
the area. Most of the impacts are likely to occur during construction stage and are temporary in
nature. Anticipated minor impacts will be mitigated through the implementation of mitigation
measures summarized in the Environmental Management Plan.

Factors contributing to minimal impacts due to proposed bridges & their approaches confined
within the available ROW, presence of no sensitive environmental issue like wildlife sanctuary,
national park, bio reserve, with 10 km from the proposed bridges & their approaches, water body
crossing road are non-perennial in nature. However, some of the impacts are unavoidable. These
impacts with mitigation measures are indicated below:

• About 158 trees need to be cut due to making approach roads along the new bridges
Compensatory Tree plantation on the basis of 1:5 will be made to compensate this loss.
Preventive measures shall be taken into consideration during construction phase especially
in rainy months, to prevent soil erosion because of tree cutting and alteration of ground
flora.
• Air Pollution due to construction activities and operation of hot mix plant will be
controlled through adoption of dust suppression measures and provision of high stack for
good dispersion of gaseous emission from hot mix plant.
• Noise levels may increase during the construction phase due to operation of construction
machineries. All the construction equipment and DG set will be well maintained and fitted
with silencers.
• Waste materials will be generated during construction phase may contaminate soil, surface
and ground water resources. Waste shall be segregated and reused or disposed off in
environmentally acceptable manner.
• The social issues need to be addressed through public participation during design and
construction stages.
7.10 RECOMMENDATIONS
Adequate mitigations shall be taken up both during construction and operation stages of the project
to avoid/minimize adverse environmental impacts due to the proposed activity as suggested in E &
SIA. Effective EMP implementation is essential for elimination or minimization of the identified
impacts. The Project proponent shall ensure that EMP and forms part of bid document and civil
works contract. The same shall be revised if necessary during project implementation or if there is
any change in the project design.
Project Proponent needs capacity building and practical exposure. Adequate training shall be
imparted as proposed under environmental management plan to enhance the capability of
concerned officials.
