5. CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
• Impacts Mitigation Monitoring Plan ( IMMP) is an
important tool that can be used to measure and
check, in a continous mode the efficacy of the
proposed mitigation measures recommended by an
Environmental Assessment.
• The Mitigation measures incorporated into the
project implementation process, which is aimed at
eliminating, minimizing negative impacts and
enhancing the positive impacts are hereby
evaluated whether they are adequate or not.

6. INTRODUCTION
• Impacts Mitigation Monitoring (IMM) is
necessary to ensure that corrective actions
are taken where proposed mitigation
measures are found to be inadequate.
• Impact mitigation for this stage of the
project covers both the site preparation
and the construction phases.

12. Summary of Air Quality Monitoring : Quarter 1, 2015
• 4.2.1 Nitrogen Oxide
• Nitrogen Oxide was not detected in any other area of the project site except for the Waste segregation
area (0.2ppm) which is close to the point of source of project generator area. The impact is short term as
the diesel powered generator will only be used for the construction phase only. Appropriate mitigation
measures are however in place.
•
• 4.2.2 Carbon Monoxide
• Carbon monoxide range of (3.2 – 7.6)ppm were all within the FMEnv limit of 20.0ppm. Baseline maximum
of 4.9ppm was however exceeded at three locations which were close to the generator area and also the
direction of wind in the project area. The deviation may not be unconnected with the power generating
set in use for the construction phase of the project.
•
• 4.2.3 Sulphur Dioxide
• The maximum concentration of Sulphur dioxide (0.2ppm) was recorded in only one location, near the
waste segregation area close to the power generating set. The values is slightly above the FMEnv limit of
0.1ppm. Baseline condition also showed a maximum of 0.15 hence the marginal increase may be
connected to the site power source. The impact will be temporal and not of significant effect if all the
recommended mitigation measures are strictly adhered to.
•
• 4.2.4 Combustible Gas as Methane (CH4)
• The value of combustible methane were not detected during the baseline studies. A concentration of
1.4ppm was detected in one location during the IMM, although there is no FMEnv standard, the level is
not of any negative significance environmentally.
•
•
• 4.2.5 Percentage Atmospheric Oxygen
• The percentage atmospheric oxygen ranged between 20.4 – 20.8. Highest baseline data ranged between 21.4
and 21.6. Both values are normal and satisfactory.
•
• 4.2.6 The values of TSP for baseline conditions were all within the FMEnv standards. IMM measurements
were not determined due to calibration exercise being conducted on the meter outside the country.

14. RESULT OF GROUND AND SURFACE WATER
MONITORING
• Summary of Results
• Ground water analysis for Quarter 1
• The quality of the raw borehole water samples analyzed were both
satisfactory pH ranged between 7.0 and 7.3 for drinking water standards
except for the high Iron level of 1.4 mg/kg present in the Nestle Borehole
water sample. The same high trend was recorded as baseline. Iron removal
has been incorporated in the water treatment system.
•
• Surface Water analysis for Quarter 1
• The parameters analyzed for in the Mandereji Stream Water sample showed
satisfactory physico-chemical properties except for the high Iron level as
well. The microbiological parameters investigated showed the presence of
coliforms (17cfu/ml) and bacteria count too numerous to count.
• All the parameters measured for both surface and ground water were in
the same trend as those of the EIA baseline. There is no indication of
pollution from the on-going project activities.
•

15. SOIL EVALUATION
• Soil Analysis
• The Soil Samples are neutral with pH
values ranging from 6.96 - 7.12. Also, this
samples are considered rich in minerals. No
negative impact on the soil as a result of
on-going construction work.

16. VEGETATION AND WILD LIFE
• Vegetation
• Impact mitigation was conducted for the project construction phase that is in progress. The
identified impacts on vegetation, proposed mitigation measures and comments on the
impact mitigation monitoring are presented in Table 4.8
• Apart from basic farming activities that have been stopped in the project area, The natural
vegetation have been eliminated in the area where construction activities are on-going.
• The natural habitat of most of the plant species have been altered with some permanently
concreted for factory use.
• The trees within the project site have been cut and are being used as firewood for the
temporary canteen and also given free to the local community.
• Some economic trees were still in place as construction activities were yet to get to their
location.
• Table 4.3 is a list of economic trees still existing in the project area.
• Wildlife
• The construction of perimeter fence to secure the project site from unnecessary intrusion
has led to the displacement of wildlife identified during the baseline studies. Apart from
some of the area where the bush have been left for future development, wildlife
population have been negatively impacted., Mammals and birds have virtually migrated from
the project site. A biodiversity monitoring plan has been prepared for monitoring of the
ecology of the project area. Table 4.4.

• Compensate communities for land take and farmlands.
• Recruitment and training of locals for project’s jobs (security,
unskilled labour)
• Engagement of Local as interpreters and mediators in
compensation processes.
o Evidence of compensation with detailed of the beneficiaries available (Appendix
1)
o Engagement of local labour through construction firm effected. List of names
and post of local engaged provided in Appendix 2
o Appropriate channel of dissemination of job availability and recruitment was
followed by presenting the vacancies to the community head and assuring that
qualified locals will be engaged. List of names of local employees and their
residence. Appendix 2
• use existing access routes / ways and ensure minimum clearing
during site survey.
• Re – grassing / Flowering of Project surrounding.
• Removal of excess excavated soil for re – use (in other project –
road repairs / remediation of erosion areas etc)
• Cement concrete / paving of un – grassed area.
• Use equipment with low levels of noise and emissions that are
within the acceptable national standards and specifications
• Ensure that water be sprinkled on open surface during excavation
to reduce amount of soil particulates
• Use Power sourced from the National grid where available to
minimize burning of fossil fuel.
• Ensure movement of trucks and heavy duty vehicles are properly
timed to ensure minimal interference with local transportation as
well as that of the major highway.
• construction of screens on storm water pathway to reduce surface
water contamination
o Only the areas to be use for construction has been excavated. Thereby still
leaving some areas of natural vegetation for existing wildlife to inhabit. (See
Plates 1 &2)
o The topograghy of the land were taken advantaged of. The upland has been
slightly leveled removing majorly the topsoil and to some extent some laterites
to fill up undulating areas. (see plate 3)
o Topsoils have been piled at specific location for re-use during landscaping for
flowering and regressing purposes. Plate 4
o The structure of the land (profile) has not been significantly affected see
Table 4.7
o The generator on site were carefully chosen and strategically located. One
sound proof generator is used at the borehole site due to the proximity to the
office there. The noise level measured confirms the observation. Table 4.2
o While the construction phase is one, the storm water course is being
determined. Thus natural flow of storm water is to be followed for the
discharge into the bigger body of water. Plate 5
o The fencing has thus put into consideration the storm eater pathway and outlet
for the storm water has been incorporated into the project design. (see plate 5)

20. CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSION
• IMM CONCLUSION
• The IMM report has captured the identified and potential impacts of the
project construction stage. The report took into cognizance all the proposed
mitigation measures and proposed plan of measuring compliance in the EIA
for the factory.
• The exercise is a sum total of various activities and programmes carried out
since the project activities began late 2014 to date.
• The evaluation of magnitude and significance of the projects impacts showed
that the environmental components impacted upon are human, heath,
physical surrounding and socio – economics.
• With the exception of vegetation upon which impacts are negative and
permanent for the built up area, air quality is temporal and reversible once
the construction phase is over. The other impacts have been found to be
positive in nature and beneficial both on the short and long term basis.
• A major area of compliance is the preparation of a project phase EMP
document which is being strictly followed and will be reviewed when
necessary.
• In conclusion, the mandatory IMM Exercise for the EIA of the proposed
Nestle Waters Abaji Green Field Factory is compiled and presented with all
the mitigation measures for consideration and approval.
