Impact Justification and Mitigation
1
Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Road crossing is aligned as straight as possible to reduce impacts Due to small area of access to site, this stream cannot be avoided as it crosses
the small access route Sloping is as steep as can be allowed due to future use by diverse and often heavy truck traffic for distribution /warehouse
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Clearing and grading of stream banks will be kept to a minimum, stabilization will be accomplished as soon as possible to reduce run -off and excess
erosion
