Environmental and social impact assessment of Al Qatrana Power Project
Faye, Mbaye Mbengue | Ndolombaye, Josue
The objective of the Al Qatrana Power Project in Jordan is to help meet the electricity needs of the country in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. Some of the negative impacts of the project are: water resources, soil erosion, air quality, noise pollution, traffic study, and soil contamination. Mitigation measures of the project are: 1) the drastic mathematical model will be used to assess any possibility of ground water pollution due to this project. This Model will basically measure the transmissivity of water and contained pollution into soil and the possibility of reaching ground water; 2) the locations of measurement include five stations covering the four borders as well as the center of the site. Such measurement will be conducted to cover two opposite borders at the same time using two noise monitors; 3) the suitability of such roads for the use of transporting raw materials and products of the facility shall be evaluated. It will basically, analyze the suitability of existing roads and their basic design in the area to handle any traffic needed by the project; and 4) soil samples were sent for chemical analysis to the laboratories of the Royal Scientific Society and other accredited European laboratories. The results of such analysis will be analyzed further to ensure protection of ground water resources.
