Environmental Impact Assessment Study To Investigate Environmental Feasibility And Constraints To Commission New Ceramic And Porcelain Factory

Abstract:

“Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)” for the new “Ceramic & Porcelain Tile Factory” is been carried out as per the mandatory requirement of Kuwait EPA (210/2001). This EIA is the most significant tool and a multidisciplinary approach helps in assessing the environmental impacts of the proposed ‘Ceramic & Porcelain Tile Manufacturing Plant’. The analysis considers potential consequences which may be long-term & short term; direct or indirect; primary or secondary; individual and cumulative; beneficial and adverse; significant or insignificant. This topic for the lecture on EIA was selected with the primary objective of impart understanding on the proposed project and their associated environmental consequences for adopting alternatives, preventives, mitigations and helps as paramount scale to decision makers.This EIA study has been conducted with both on qualitative and quantitative assessment of the existing environmental conditions and predicted impacts at the project site and the surrounding study regions. Care has been taken to conduct the monitoring study at different time intervals during the study period of 2 months so as enable suggestive data collection. The EIA study explicitly presents the proposed activities at project site including construction and operation phase, proposed infrastructural facilities, the present baseline environmental & socio- economic settings of the study region, flora and fauna at the site, roads & links. To assess the existing environmental characteristics of the project such as topography, soil, air quality, noise, ecosystem of the study region (flora and fauna), socio-economic conditions, health and safety around the study site have been evaluated in the EIA.
