 INTRODUCTION:

The Mega City status of Lagos-state has continually increased human migration to the State and
that has overtime geometrically increased her population thereby creating a housing deficit
especially in some selected axis of the state and this has made it imperative for the State
Government to make concerted efforts towards addressing the obvious housing deficits and
meet the aspirations of the citizenry for decent, quality and affordable housing facilities. This
obviously is a task that cannot be left for the State Government alone in the face of other
competing demands, thus requiring the partnership of individual and corporate investors in the
real estate sector. It is in this light, that the Lagos State Government has continued to
encourage private investors to participate in the development of the State through the
provision of decent and affordable housing Units and other amenities.

In response to this call and the quest of the Lagos State Government to meet the obvious housing
deficit in the State, Messrs Kaizen Properties Bourdillon 39 Limited intends to develop a
Twenty-nine (29) Floor residential apartments project on her parcel of land measuring
about 5169.625 m2 at Plot 39A & 39B, Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi in Eti-Osa Local Government
Area of Lagos State.
 As part of the regulatory requirements, the proposed development is subjected to an Environmental
Impact Assessment in order to evaluate the baseline situation of the proposed project area and
identify the likely impacts (positive or negative) that could arise from the planned project.

 To ensure sustainable implementation of the proposed project and compliance with statutory
regulatory requirements, the proposed project is to be subjected to Environmental Impact
Assessment.

 The EIA included well-planned site visits, field survey and samples collection, laboratory analyses,

Site Condition:

At the time of site assessment, the piling phase had already commenced with

some pilling equipment and machinery mobilized to the site. The nearest water

body is the Five Cowrie Creek which is located at an estimated 700m away from

the sites on the northern side. Based on the state of the site during assessment,

and at the present, there were no pristine environment that could promote thriving

and existence of species of conservation concern as per IUCN and CITES standard.

Furthermore, there were no cultural or archaeological objects that were reported

earlier during the pilling work in respect of the project development within the site

and likewise during the assessment or found at site.

 PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION /OVERVIEW:
The project is to develop a state of the art 29-floor residential building apartment with a top class amenities

with the intention of selling the various apartment to interested buyers who shall then own and live there.

The building is a two- wing structure with a continuous vertical wall constructed from reinforced concrete

and consists of Forty-five 45 units of 4-bedroom luxury apartments. The proposed building when

completed is expected to be the tallest building in the whole of Ikoyi and by extension, Lagos State.

The building shall have the following essential features:

Swimming pools,
Gymnasium
Spa
Minimart/pharmacy
Minicrèche
Salon
Water treatment room
Bar
High speed elevators

In addition to the basic component of the proposed building as listed above, the project shall have other

complimentary and recreational services such as parking facilities with provision for disabled car parking

space, generator house a lush greenery area, basketball and tennis courts.
 
 Pile Design for the building:
The proposed Twenty-nine (29) floor residential building apartment will incorporate a total of Two
hundred and Nineteen (219) piles that will be drilled to between 48m to 60m depth below the soil
surface. The piles range from 800m to 1400 in diameter. The 1400m diameter piles shall be installed at
the middle of the building essentially to provide firm support to heavy load area such as lifts facility. The
piles designed according to the British standard are closely spaced but do not over-lap with the top of the
pile capped near the ground level with Integrity tests (Slump test and comprehensive strength test)
are then conducted on the drilled piles to ensure that they are capable of carrying the expected load
building loads.

 Effluent Treatment System:

The proposed Twenty-nine (29) floor residential building apartment project is designed to include an
efficient effluent Treatment System with Grease interceptors to be installed in all the kitchen drains to
traps oil and grease. After removing all and grease, waste water will be discharged directly into the
Sewage Treatment Plant the basement of the building where it will undergo necessary treatment before is
evacuated by LASWAMO for final disposal.
Sewage Treatment Facility:

The proposed Twenty-nine (29) floor luxury residential building apartment project will incorporate a
sewage treatment plant to take care of all sanitary waste and grey water. It is generally assumed that
one person produces 0.1m3 /day of sewage effluent (including flushing). It is anticipated that an
estimated 30,000m3/day of effluent shall be generated mostly from the toilet, bathroom and
restaurant water with traces of solid matter during the residence phase of the project. Saliently,
Sewage generated from each floor will be discharged into the treatment plant through piping system.

Water Treatment System:

The proposed Twenty-nine (29) floor luxury residential building apartment project whose primary
source of water supply shall be via a Borehole System to be sunk within the site will incorporate a
high-grade water treatment system. preliminary geophysical investigation of the properties of the
under-laying of the site, the site and the proposed project area implies the area is of high water table
and the water bearing aquifer will yield the required quantity of water sustainable for the project. An
estimated daily water consumption rate of 110,685Liters is projected for the residency phase of the
project.

The water treatment system will be in-form of cooling circuits with each cooling water circuit provided
with automatic water treatment systems that will minimize corrosion, scaling and microbiological
growth. Anti-scaling chemicals shall be fed into the system by monitoring raw water make-up.

 AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT RESULT:

Air Quality assessment was carried out at the proposed project site with respect to gases and TSP and these results as

well as the concentration of air quality parameters sourced from the secondary data were compared with the Nigeria Air

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and World Health Organization (W.H.O) Air Quality Guidelines adopted

by the World Bank. :Generally, the gases were detected, the concentration are within background levels and below

regulatory limits.

Particulates:

The recorded value during the wet season range from 10.8 to 118.0µg/m3. This is consistent with the relatively low

level of activities around the project area. Particulate matter can be of great concern to human health if present above

permissible level in an environment (WHO, 2000). Particulates are ubiquitous in the troposphere and of special interest

since they contribute to both light scattering and absorption of radiation with consequential visibility and climate effects.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx):

For the proposed Twenty-nine (29) Floor Luxury Apartments development project, The value of NO2 recorded were below

the detection limit of 0.1ppm of the equipment used for the analysis across all the sampling locations; the obtained values

ranks within the safe limit levels as exposure to NO2 emitted from varieties of outdoor even at low concentration sources

could cause chronic irritation of respiratory tract. Headache, loss of appetite and corrosion of the teeth.

Sulphur Dioxides (SO2):

As in NOx emissions, SO2 is usually released anthropogenically when Sulphur-containing materials are involved in

combustions. Sulphur dioxide was not detected in any of the sampling locations around the project area during the

sampling periods.
RESULT: NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENTS AT THE PROPOSED PROJECT AREA:

The noise level recorded ranged from 43.9dB(A) to a maximum of 65.3dB(A), crucially, the values
recorded were generally below the permissible noise level set for residential areas by both NESREA and
LASEPA for day time. However, a breach of the limits were recorded at the sampling location along the
bourdillon road and this can be attributed to noise from vehicles plying the road; the major sources of noise
around the site are from vehicles plying the road Bourdillon road and other connecting streets in the area.
 GROUNDWATER QUALITY
ASSESSMENT:

The ground water samples for the proposed project location were analyzed and results of the analysis of
samples depicted that there were no Salmonella Sp, Shigella Sp, faecal Coliforms nor heavy metals
contamination of the groundwater for the season analyzed. The samples were odourless, clear and
colourless but acidic both in dry and wet seasons.

The conductivity of all the groundwater samples including control (GW1 –GW3) were within the WHO and NIS
limits of 1000µS/cm.

The water samples were analyzed for the PTM (presence of toxic metals ) and some of the toxic metals
screened for include Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. The presence of toxic metals in groundwater
when present above their natural or background levels could indicate contamination from anthropogenic
influences or influences from the surrounding geologic formation of the soil. If present in high
concentration in water, these metals pose health risks to living organisms including humans who
consume the water.

Crucially, the Concentrations of Pb, Cu, Ni, Cd and Cr were all below detection limit of <0.001 mg/L. The
observed concentrations of Fe in the groundwater at Station 1 at 0.31 mg/L was slightly higher than
the recommended limit of 0.30 mg L-1 while those of station 2 at 0.06 mg/L was within range.
Iron was not detected at Station 3 (GW3) at all.
The observed Mn concentration was 0.48mg/L, 0.14mg/L and 0.02 mg/L Station 1 (GW1), Station 2 (GW2)
and Station 3 (GW3) respectively.

The Mn level at Station 1 (GW1) was higher than the SON recommended limit. Other metals were all below the
threshold prescribed by SON. Generally, the results indicate that the ground water sources have not been
contaminated by heavy metals.

Microbiology Parameters of Groundwater:

Microbiology Station 1 Station 2 (GW2) Station 3 Mean Std. Dev. SON Limit (NIS 554:2015)

Faecal Coliforms Count (cfu/ml) <2 <2 <2 <2 - Nil

E.Coli (cfu/ml) <2 <2 <2 <2 - Nil

Clostridium perfringens spore <2 <2 <2 <2 - Nil

The water samples were analyzed for microbial parameters including Total Plate Count, Total coliform, faecal
coliform, Clostridium perfringens spore and E. Coli and results obtained indicated that the total coliform counts were
all below the S.O.N threshold of 10. While the Total Plate Count were 3.0 x 101 cfu at Station 1 and 4.0 x 101
cfu at Station 3 respectively, the count at Station 2 was < 2.

Total coliform, faecal coliform and E. Coli were all less than 2 indicating that the groundwater resources at the
proposed project location have not been contaminated by microbes, most especially human feacal coliform.
 SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDIES:

Consultation Exercise:

 Focused Group Discussions (FGDs), Semi- Structured Interviews (SSIs), and Key Informant Interviews

(KIIs), all participatory rural appraisal techniques were used for the socio- economic data collection.

 Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) on the socio-economic and health conditions of the community were

held separately amongst the various interest groups viz: cluster of trader groups, youths, women

groups, amongst other stakeholders in the project area

 This entailed the administration of well-structured survey instrument (questionnaire) to Thirty (30)

respondents who were selected through stratified random sampling technique.

 Self-administered questionnaire technique was used for certain respondents who could read and write

while interviewer-administer questionnaire technique was used for those who could neither read nor

write, a 100% return rate for the administered questionnaire was achieved.
 POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS:

Construction Phase Impacts;

 Impacts on Air Quality:

Air-borne particulates would result from disturbances to the soil during construction activities of the
proposed luxury residential apartment project. For instance, a lot of dust would be generated during
foundation works which includes pilling. All diesel-powered facilities such as electricity generators and
heavy-duty equipment as well as project vehicles would emit SO2,CO2,NOx and other gases. Degradation
of air quality could occur due to emissions from vehicles. The emissions are short-termed and localized
within the immediate project environment.

 Impact on Noise Level and Vibration:

During construction, a lot of noise will be generated particularly during foundations works, iron cutting and
welding works as well as vehicular movement. Foundation works such as pilling for the Building
construction is expected to cause some level of vibration. Noise levels arising from these activities though
expected to exceed ambient levels at times will be transient and localized.

 Impacts on Geology:

Only minimal geological impacts are expected in the construction phase of the project, as there will be no
topographic or geologic alteration due to the construction of the proposed housing units. The landscape is
flat and needs no sand filling. Soil erosion is not anticipated as the adequate control measures will be put
in place.
  Potential Positive Impacts of the Proposed Project:
The proposed twenty-nine (29) Floor luxury residential apartment project shall come with some

attendant positive impacts and some positive impacts likely to arise from the proposed project include

the following:

Impact on Employment:

The proposed project will create employment opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labour.
Hundreds of temporary and direct employment opportunities will be created during the construction
phase of the project. Indirect employment opportunities will be created through of contractors and
suppliers of construction materials. Some direct permanent employment will be created during
operational phase particularly for facility maintenance and security.
 
Impact on Economic Growth:

The injection of over eighty percent of the project cost into the local economy will help in stimulating
the economy particularly with the current economic challenges in the Country.

 
Impact on Housing Sector:

The implementation of the proposed project will impact positively on the Housing sector. It will
provide decent and affordable housing units for the citizens, thereby helping to address the obvious
challenge of housing deficit in the State and by extension the country.
Impacts on Soil:

The potential impacts on soil resources are closely related to site clearing, site preparation and
construction. These could manifest mostly as soil erosion, land degradation and fugitive dust released into
atmosphere. Other significant potential effects on the soil include compaction, changes in drainage patterns
and contamination from discharges, leakages and accidental releases.

Impacts on Groundwater:

The Construction activities of the proposed a twenty-nine (29) Floor luxury residential apartment project is
not expected to disturb the flow of groundwater in the area, as only the topmost layer of the earth
materials would be involved during construction. The only possibility of impact on the groundwater is
expected to occur in the remote case of percolation of materials, oils and grease and wastes if not properly
stored.

Impacts on the terrestrial Ecosystem:

The components of the terrestrial ecosystems likely to be affected during any construction work of this
magnitude include vegetation and wildlife associated with the area. However, the project area and
environment is an already built-up area. The vegetation to be affected are likely to be grasses/weeds
growing on the site.
 
 Impacts on Transportation

In the course of site preparation activities, there will be need to transport materials

and men to the project site at various times. The increased presence of trucks

associated with the site preparation activities may further worsen the sometimes

difficult traffic situation in the area.

 
Impacts on Waste Management

A lot of wastes are expected to be generated during the site preparation phase of this

project. These would include metal cuttings, packaging material, tins, welding

electrodes, etc. Human wastes generated from the construction work could constitute

aesthetic issues for the project area. Wastes if allowed to accumulate could lead to

contamination of soil and groundwater as well as the existing water body, particularly

if percolation and run off into the waters is allowed.

 
Impacts on Public Health and Safety:

The site preparation phase of the project would definitely bring about the movement

of different people including skilled and unskilled labour force and service providers.

This has its own attendant health and safety problems.
