Environmental and social impact assessment : executive summary
Kopp, Raymond J.
The objective of the Giza North 2x750 Mega-Watt electrical (MWe) Gas-Fired Combined Cycle Power Project is to assist the Government of Egypt to improve the security and efficiency of electricity supply through investment in new generation capacity based on combined-cycle gas turbine technology. Negative measures include: air quality; noise; flora and fauna; waste management; and soils and hydrology. Mitigation measures include: a) development of effective site drainage systems; b) restriction of access only to construction site areas; c) monitoring and control of spoil; d) disposal of waste materials unsuitable for reuse on-site, (e.g. for landscaping) at appropriately licensed sites; e) provision of impermeable bases in operational areas to prevent absorption of spillages; f) development of a site drainage plan which reduces flow velocity and sediment load; and g) protection of temporary stockpiles of soil from erosion by using a reduced slope angle where practical, sheeting and by incorporating sediment traps in drainage ditches.
