while the broader area of influence includes neighboring wards and ecosystems
potentially impacted by air, noise, and water pollution. Special attention will be given
to sensitive sites such as Msasani Bay located nearby and other natural drainage
systems.

Environmental Sensitivity

The area includes urbanized zones with limited vegetation cover that hosts sensitive
infrastructure, public facilities, and informal settlements. Particular attention will be
paid to compliance with Schedule 3 of the EIA and Audit Regulations concerning the
protection of sensitive habitats and urban drainage systems.

Construction Phase

This is scheduled to be within 16 months duration.

Impacts during this phase include potential land disturbance, traffic congestion, and
noise pollution.

Operational Phase

The duration is 50 years and more (Life span of the project or design period).
Following construction, the project will have ongoing impacts related to resource
consumption, waste generation, and social dynamics in the area.

Decommissioning Phase

Could take 6 months to 1 year, depending on the extent of restoration or


redevelopment required, especially if the site must be rehabilitated to urban planning
standards or environmental requirements.

environmental regulations.

Stakeholder and Neighboring Areas

Neighboring properties, businesses, and community representatives in Mikocheni will


be consulted as part of the public participation process outlined in the EIA regulations.

with institutions operating in the area, such as schools, hospitals, and commercial
centers.
