Vegetation Clearing, Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Sample Clauses

Vegetation Clearing, Soil Erosion and Sedimentation. Construction activities have the potential to clear vegetation and, loosen soils particularly on slopes which can then be washed down into the lower areas (streams and valleys) and soil quality degradation is also likely to occur during construction as a result of disposal of construction materials on the adjacent lands especially near the base of the valleys and ultimately into the rivers. Impact Scoring Severity of Impact -2 Spatial Scope of the Impact -2 Duration of Impact -3 Overall score -2 Interpretation low Mitigation measures The following is proposed to mitigate against soil erosion and, its effects and enhance vegetation cover.  Re-plant the indigenous vegetation as much as practical once work is completed.  Limit vegetation clearance unless where unavoidable circumstances appear;  Contain excavated soils so that they will not find their way into nearby water sources;  Cement mixing should be done in a designated area away at a safe distance from storm water drains;  Spilled cement or concrete should be collected and disposed away from natural water ways or storm water drainage;  Sensitise workers and enable them to properly handle concrete spillages or waste cement;  Re-vegetation of exposed areas around the site should be carried out rapidly in order to mitigate against erosion of soil through surface water runoff and wind erosion.
