Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects
Environmental Aspects No significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated. Potential impacts include vegetation clearance, storm water management, dust, noise, solid and liquid wastes generation, and increase in local traffic due to operation of construction vehicles and equipment onsite. All these are site-specific and can be mitigated with proper mitigation measures.
Involuntary Resettlement No involuntary resettlement impacts are expected.
Indigenous Peoples Impacts on indigenous peoples are not expected as there is no likelihood of concentrations of scheduled tribes occupying or utilizing the sites within the metropolitan cities.
