Indonesia - Support of Conflict-Ridden Areas Project

This is an environmental and social impact assessment of the Airport Development Project for Egypt, which increases the landside and airside capacities at Cairo International Airport and the landside capacity at Sharm El Shaikh Airport. It details expected adverse environmental impacts and mitigation measures, the majority of which will be incorporated in the project design. Further mitigation measures to dispose of construction waste; and minimize hazards to workforce and resident populations during construction include the following: Use good site practices, construct temporary noise barriers, relocate equipment, reduce number of plant items and limit equipment operating time, and require workers to wear protective gear to reduce noise impacts. Dust suppression measures include regular watering of exposed areas, site access and egress control, development of a haulage route, restriction of vehicle speed and exhaust, locating stockpiles far away from sensitive areas and using impervious sheeting as covers, or spraying with water or a suppression chemical. Maintain evaporation ponds in site drainage to manage surface run off, lock storage tanks to prevent spilled fuel oils, empty and clean oil interceptors to prevent release into the storm water drainage system, dispose of waste materials at an approved storage site, use portable chemical toilets and sewage holding tanks, and only handle and store contaminants in designated areas and ensure that a spill management plan is in place. To control excavated waste, construction waste, and general refuse, use a waste management plan that minimizes waste generated, reuses on-site materials, segregates and recycles waste, and treats and disposes of waste according to relevant regulations outlining procedures for handling, collecting, removing, and disposing of waste. Ensure that chemical waste is properly stored and contained, using impervious, corrosive-free vessels (in capsulated barrels with cement), in well ventilated areas and removed by licensed waste collectors and transported to licensed waste facilities. Ensure public safety by gating access to the construction site, reducing interaction between construction and airport traffic during morning and afternoon peak periods, and fencing to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry. Parking and pedestrian movements will be monitored to assess the need for added measures. Reduce traffic congestion by using signage, enforcing illegal parking rules, and completing a feasibility study to evaluate different options, if needed.
