Possible cause

Impacts

1.

Dust deposition on vegetation and tents

Fine and ultra-fine particles from drilling activities and vehicles travelling on dusty roads

Dust especially from radioactive minerals is very dangerous if inhaled

3

Scrap metal left unattended for long periods of time

No specific policy on disposal of scrap metal

Rust increases the amount of iron in water streams and underground water

4

Waste piles of oil-contaminated soil in plastic bags

Lack of a bioremediation plant

Oil spills add hydrocarbons to soil

5

Effluent water discharge into underground water sources and water wells.

By-pass and negligence of environmental procedures during Uranium exploration activities at site

Water pollution especially from metallic minerals and its associates is very harmful to human, plant and animal lives

6

Land, flora and fauna disturbance.

Improper supervision by the concerned authorities

Soil erosion, death and disturbance of vegetation and animals occur

8

Noise

Heavy equipment in operation and generators while working

Disturbs human and animals’ mental equilibrium

9

Acidic water from the uncovered pits and trenches

Effect of acid rock drainage if acidic rock is present in the project area

Acidic water changes the pH of water which makes it difficult for normal use unless neutralized
