a)The primary stakeholders-residential owners, owners of agricultural lands, owners of housing lands
constructed, owners of commercial establishments
Secondary stakeholders-Divisional Secretaries of related DS Divisions, Grama Niladharies of related
GNDs, Officials of Mahaweli Authority and Urban Development Authority, District Secretaries and
officials

Nearest schools
c) Project Name

Project Approving Agency
Report requirement
Date of issue of the ToR
d)The people who take part in the given project.
Civil engineers
Mechanical engineers
Biologists
Geologists

e) Study Area
The study area for the assessment shall include the following;
i) Project site and 100m either side of the project
site
ii) Any area beyond the above boundary, where there is potential for environmental
impacts due to the project
2)
a) Analysis of alternative is done to heve the most environmental friendly, financially reasonable option
for observing project goals.
b)finding better alternatives
Considering some possible alternatives helps us to determine the best method of doing the project
while minimising environmental and be most environmental friendly,and more creatively in a less cost.

 demand alternatives - using energy more efficiently rather than building more generating
capacity
 supply alternatives –choosing the right energy source
 activity alternatives-providing public transport rather than increasing road capacity
 location alternatives-the location of the site for a perticular part of the project(dam of a
irrigation process)
 process alternatives- use of wastes and minimising or energy using efficiently

3)
a)• Loss and destruction of wildlife habitats
• Impacts on biodiversity because of loss of forest lands and
• disturbances to flora and fauna
• Changes in surface and ground water hydrology
•Impacts on wildlife
•The movements of animals especially elephants will be restricted
•Disruption of ground water flow
• Disruption of the cross channel ground water flow can create lateral hydraulic pressure to the
up slope side
• Change of ground water table
• Ground water will be low and quality will be adversely affected
b) Lowland rain forest habitat
Kalubovitiyana forest peak
Kakanadura forest
Mulatiyana forest
Wilpita forest
Dediyagala Forest

c)
• Paddy lands located in the project area will go out of cultivation-This is a huge problem for the farmers
employed by paddy cultivation
• Some of the chena lands and lands with mixed crops will be affected-Chena holders gets unemployed
• Change in economic infrastructure-Changes the normal economic circle which is ongoing throgh the
area currently
• Due to the new construction the existing irrigation facilities of the Walawe Left Bank Project will be
disrupted-some farmers may face difficulties Due to the construction
• Construction in the Walawe left bank area-Disruption to the existing transport in the Walawe Left Bank
area

a)
Impact
construction of the expressway will case
migratory behaviors of animals
Damages to buildings and structures due to
blasting works
Scrub forests will be lost due to the
construction of the road
Due to land clearance, surface run off will
cause much soil erosion
Dust from construction
Construction noises will be severe
Rank Justification
A The attacks from the animals to the villages
can be controlled by the electric fences.And
if too much animal lose their houses,they
can be transported and relocated in some
other habitats
B Initial survey shall be done before the
blasting work commence and the final
survey after the blasting works completed.
Sample measurements at the initial stage of
the project and if complaints received from
the public as and when these complaints
are made
C A plant planting project can be started after
the project to minimize the loss of trees by
the construction.
D Fences have to be made in the risky
areas.And planting trees and grass as much
as possible in the cleared areas after the
project
E Spreading water on the excavating surface
so it reduces the dust.And all the workers
should be instructed to wear dust
masks.And excavation should keep some
distance from residances
F construction shall not produce more noise
than 75 dB during daytime (06.00 – 21.00)
and 50 dB during night (21.00 – 06.00).
Therefore, the boundary of the site should
be kept at a minimum of 100 m away from
residences. No work should be carried out
in the night (21.00 – 06.00) which makes
noise over 50 dB.
b)
Impact Rank Justification
The expressway will block the movements of A Directing animals through new
animals routes.Relocate the animals ifthe number is
too much
noice of the vehicles will disturb animals B Keep the animals away from the highway.

Air polution from the gas of the vehicles C Planting trees as much as possible around
the area.Emission test result should be
tested of every vehicle entering the
highway
