Groundwaters. The extension and modernization of flood embankments will not involve any groundwater abstraction or discharge of wastewater to the environment at the works implementation site. No significant negative impacts on circulation conditions or groundwater quality are expected at the stage of conducting construction works. The water will be used for technological, construction and social-domestic purposes. Water will be delivered to the construction site with barrel transport vehicles. 21 The document is available on the website: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/wps/wcm/connect/topics_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/sustainability- at-ifc/publications/publications_policy_ehs-portsharborsterminals The risk of emission of pollutants to the soil and water environment at the stage of implementation may only result from the failure of the Contractor to meet standard environmental protection requirements applied during construction works, i.e. inappropriate waste storage, inappropriate sewage management on construction sites, use of motor vehicles and construction machinery and equipment contrary to their intended use or outside the areas designated for this purpose or as a result of extraordinary events, i.e. equipment failures, road traffic collisions or sudden adverse weather conditions or natural disasters. There is an increased risk of emission of pollutants to the soil and water environment then in the form of leakage of harmful liquid or semi-liquid substances (fuels, oil, lubricants) from vehicles and construction machinery and equipment and their infiltration into the ground or surface runoff. No mechanical lowering of groundwater levels or works that could significantly affect water conditions, e.g. by significantly changing infiltration conditions, are foreseen. A procedure that may shape the conditions of water circulation may be e.g. a segmental removal of the humus layer, which is one of the factors influencing the infiltration of rainwater, but such an impact will be minimal against the background of all hydrogeological conditions. Compliance with environmental and occupational health and safety standards will be very important, e.g. due to the shallow water table of the main usable aquifer, lack of isolating layer, as well as the important role of the Quaternary level in water supply to the northern part of the Podkarpackie region (Major Groundwater Reservoir No. 425 Dębica - Stalowa Wola - Rzeszów). During the operational phase, the impact of the Works Con...
Groundwaters. Due to the fact that the potential implementation impact of the project on groundwater (as described in Chapter 5.6) essentially overlaps impacts on the ground environment and on the surface water (described in Chapters 5.4 and 5.5), it was not stated necessary to implement additional mitigating measures in that scope, i.e. other than mitigation measures for the ground environment (see: description in Chapter 6.4) and mitigation measures for the surface water (see: description in Chapter 6.5).
