The mitigations to be taken in this road maintenance and rehabilitation proeject will be included in the bidding and contract document as appropriate by the planning... Show More + or project engineers responsible for the subprojects. Their compliance and performance will be monitored by the project engineers and documented systematically. The requirements for managing construction material, chemicals, and facilities include: locating borrowing pits and quarries at a specified distance from settlement areas; avoiding overloading and covering trucks, and cleaning up spills immediately; controlling dust dispersion and silt-laden water; controlling and managing the use of fuel, oil, and toxic chemicals, as well as training workers on safety and emergency actions; preventing waste from being dumped into water streams, and collecting and storing waste oil and liquid hazardous waste until properly disposed. For public convenience and safety, warning signs, light signals, and barricades will be set up; temporary entrances will be provided as needed; and full-scale safety signs and signals will be erected at night. Properly managing construction equipment and machinery, properly handling and disposing of waste generated from maintaining machinery, and operating trucks and heavy equipment only during daylight hours will alleviate conditions for residential areas. In addition, toxic chemicals shall be located at a specified distance from communities and water bodies. Show Less -

The EGAT (Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand) Investment Program Support Project will finance investments for power generation and transmission facilities.... Show More + These environmental impact assessments cover the subprojects -- a) Ractchaburi Power Plant; b) Krabi Thermal Power Plant; c) Wang Noi Combined Cycle Power Plant Project; and d) the transmission systems. A resettlement plan has been prepared for the households affected. In terms of air quality, the impact of dust during construction will be mitigated by water sprays. Emissions from construction equipment and vehicular transportation will be controlled by reducing vehicular speed. Sulfur Dioxide will be controlled by an 80 percent efficient Flue Gas Desulfurization System (FGD). Major construction activities will be conducted in dry seasons to reduce siltation to the nearby rivers. Water quality affected by suspended solid in the nearby river will be improved by constructing temporary weir to trap sediment. Salt water intrusion into the groundwater will be mitigated by controlling the discharge rate and exploring other water resources. Noise pollution will be minimized by using noise control equipment, creating noise barriers, and publicizing the time for blasting. The threat of thermal pollution to aquatic life will be mitigated by building a water reservoir to reduce water temperature before it is discharged into the river. Wastewater will be pretreated before it is discharged into the water way. A screening structure will be placed at the inlet of the intake pipe at the water intake pump station so that young fish, fish eggs, and floating weeds will not be pumped into the intake. Show Less -
