This document summarizes potential environmental and social impacts of a development project without mitigation measures. It identifies 16 impacts across 4 categories: 1) impacts due to project location, 2) impacts relating to design, 3) impacts during construction, and 4) impacts relating to operation. Many impacts are expected to be significant negative effects, such as requiring land that disrupts forests and wildlife habitat, disrupting hydrology and river ecology, and causing sedimentation concerns in the water source during operation. Positive impacts are also noted, such as the natural water quantity and quality being suitable for water supply.
