Mitigation Measures for Construction Impacts

Table 4.2. Adopted Mitigation Measures.
Construction of Spur in Union Council Bait Baet Wala Mauza Bait Chin Dera Ghazi Khan.
Project Action Parameter Identified impact. Adopted Mitigation Measure(s)
Earth work.
Land and Soil.
Reduction in fertility of disposal
area.
 Re-leveling of earth disposal
area.
 The hauling route will be
away from the abadies.
 Earth disposal area be
selected with minimum
environmental hazards.
Air quality
Deteriorated air quality due to
suspended soil particles.
Smoke due to heavy earth
excavation machinery.
 Wet earth will be excavated.
 After formation of
embankment, water will be
sprinkled on the formation.
 Earth excavation machinery
must be in good condition and
smoke exhaust must be
minimum.
Noise and vibration.
Noise pollution due to machinery
deployed for the construction.
 Compact and good quality
earth excavation machinery
will be deployed to minimize
the noise pollution.
Health hazards.
Health hazards due to noise,
smoke and dust.
 Noise and smoke will be
minimized by using good
quality earth excavation
machinery.
 Dust will be controlled by
sprinkling of water.

1. Land Acquisition.
 Is land acquisition necessary?  If land acquisition is not required, proceed to Category 2.
 Will land acquisition be voluntary? 
If land acquisition is voluntary prepare the required documentation.
If land acquisition is not voluntary, implement standing IPD
procedures.
2. Displacement of Households, Assets, Livelihoods.
 Will there be displacement of households, assets
or livelihoods caused by the proposed project
actions?

If such displacement will occur, undertake a preliminary
identification of what will be affected using the checklist below in
order to scope the follow-up social assessment.
 Presence of squatters 
 Loss of structures resulting in displacement. 
 Displacement of people due to loss of
productive assets.
