3. WATER AND SANITATION
An optimum mix of Fresh Water and Recycled water have been proposed to minimise the ecological
footprint of the project. For sustainable resource management, especially water management, the
tourism projects shall not consider the groundwater extraction for any purposes. Additionally,
maintaining the quality of drinking water is equally important for ensuring healthy and hygienic
conditions for tourists. To ensure safe drinking water, both saline water and/or harvested rainwater
have to be treated before its consumption at varying levels depending on the water quality of the
source and its intended use.
Demand Assessment Owing to topological challenge of setting up rain water harvesting reservoirs in the project site, the
proponents shall attempt to meet the water demand from the desalination plant as well as from waste
water recycling and reuse. The developer shall have the benefit of exploring rainwater harvesting as
more efficient means of water supply.

Proposed Desalination Network & CRZ Zones
The proposed desalination plant (Sea Water Reverse Osmosis) will be established with a capacity of
240KLD. The plant is proposed on the shore towards east side with a footprint of 300 sq. m with
facilities of intake and storage tank with a capacity of 240KLD each.
Sea water will be drawn from the intake well located at a distance of 400m from the shore at a depth
of 20m with a diameter of 2.5 diameter. Diameter of the pipeline will be 150mm. The outfall pipe
from desalination plant discharges at a distance of 600m from the coast where the dilution is high,
and salinity reaches ambient salinity of sea water within in 25m radius.
The proposed network maintains a 500m buffer from the coral seabed found in the area so as to
ensure minimum impact on the marine life. All precaution will be taken to ensure no damage to

desalination plant. The dilution of any return water released in a natural water body takes place in 2
stages, viz., i) initial dilution due to jet mixing, and ii) secondary dispersion due to turbulence. The
extent of initial dilution is controlled by the engineering design of the diffuser. For a proposed design
of the diffuser port the behaviour of the return water jet plume is designed and estimated using
CORMIX model. Once the return water rises to the water surface as the water moves away from the
outfall location the subsequent dilution takes place by larger scale turbulence in the horizontal
direction. This second stage is controlled by the prevailing currents and turbulence that exist in the
coastal region. Such secondary dispersion is estimated using a Hydrodynamic-Advection-Dispersion
model. The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a software module for the analysis,
prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into diverse water
bodies.
The mixing behaviour of any brine reject discharge is governed by the interplay of ambient conditions
in the receiving water body and by the discharge characteristics. The ambient conditions in the
receiving water body are described by the water body's geometric and dynamic characteristics such
as: plan shape, vertical cross-sections, and bathymetry, especially in the discharge vicinity. Dynamic
characteristics are given by the velocity and density distribution in the water body, again primarily in
the discharge vicinity. The discharge conditions relate to the geometric and flux characteristics of the
submerged outfall installation. For a single port discharge the port diameter, its elevation above the
bottom and its orientation provide the geometry; for multiport diffuser installations the arrangement
of the individual ports along the diffuser line, the orientation of the diffuser line, and construction
details represent additional geometric features; and for surface discharges the cross-section and
Page 8
orientation of the flow entering the ambient watercourse are important. The distinction between
near-field and far-field is made purely on hydrodynamic grounds and it is unrelated to any regulatory
mixing zone definitions.
The volume of brine discharge from the desalination plant released into the sea will be ~293KLD per
peak day = ~7L/second = 0.007 m3/s. The salinity of the return water released into the sea will be 60
ppt, which will have the salinity difference of 25 ppt higher than the seawater ambient salinity of 35
ppt. The various input parameters to the CORMIX model to determine the behaviour of the return
water jet plume around the proposed diffuser port are given in the annexure 3.

This study shows that the impact of the discharge of the brine water, on the marine environment
would be insignificant. Hence, it is recommended that the brine discharge from proposed outfalls of
the desalination plant at Lalaji Bay, Long Island can be discharged into the open sea at the identified
location.
Sewage Treatment Plant 80% of the domestic water usage (i.e. 80% of 220 KLD) and water for flush-toilets (i.e. 28 KLD) could
be considered for sewage treatment. For the treatment of the wastewater as per the aforementioned
standards, an STP of about 255 KLD capacity would be constructed for the treatment of about 204
KLD wastewater.

Treatment System Process Flow
The waste water generated during the construction phase of the project would be treated through
onsite sanitation facilities
a) Regulatory Framework Andaman and Nicobar Pollution Control Boards lays out guidelines for treatment of effluent and
sewage. Any hotel restaurant generating waste water over 100 KLD falls under Red Category. They
shall
1. lnstall Effluent Treatment Plant / Sewage Treatment Plant to treat the entire waste water
generated.
2. Treat the waste water up to tertiary level for reuse of the treated effluent at least for Cooling
Tower/ AC Plant and in Horticulture and in flushing of Toilets wherever possible/ applicable as
prescribed in the Environmental Clearance/Consent Conditions. The treated effluent shall be
reused up to the maximum extent possible to achieve the objective of zero discharge. They shall
submit water mass balance chart regarding consumption of water, waste water generation and
use of treated effluent (in the given format annexed).
3. Provide Rain Water Harvesting System.
4. lnstall Solar Water Heating System.
5. Provide Organic Waste Convertor for composting of organic waste or waste to Bio-fuel Plant.
Page 12
6. Convert/Switch Over from Oil Fired Boiler to Natural Gas Based Boiler wherever Gas Supply is
available.
7. Develop Green Belt to create Buffer Zone from main roads.
Rainwater harvesting Rain water harvesting can be explored on Long Island project. Considering the proposed built up
area, the potential for rain water catchment from the rooftops is 76 ML annually. The storage
solution for this water collected can be explored via on ground ferro-cement tanks situated within
clusters or with individual keys.
Other Management Measures • The proponents will use low-flow fixtures for the water supply system in the project. The
use of low-flow fixtures shall significantly support in the reduction in the amount of water
needed for activities like bathing, flushing, washing, etc., and also to optimise the water
losses, which would help in reducing the demand for potable water. The flow rates of all WCs
will have to be at least 3/6 lpf or less, lavatory and kitchen faucets will have a flow rate of 6
lpm or less, urinals will have a flow rate of 3 lpf or less, and flow rate of showers will be at
least 10 lpm or less.
• Water auditing and monitoring are critical aspect in water supply chain. Water audits will be
undertaken for at least once every year. Water audits on-site will help in identifying any
leakages during the supply, illegal withdrawals, etc. Conducting a detailed audit helps in
facilitating a better management of the water supply system with improved reliability.
Systems, like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), may be installed for this
purpose. Such systems help in the easier extraction of data for any future analysis and
monitoring.
• Another important aspect of ensuring water efficiency of the potential development would
be to constantly monitor water usage from different sources and at different locations.
Metering for monitoring the water consumption will enable the project proponents to assess
the performance of various systems and would support in identifying any leakages or
problems that would require any repairs or rectification(s).
• Besides water monitoring and audits, it is also extremely important to have a well-established
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) protocol and trained personnel on-site for performing
basic operations and maintenance on the installed treatment system. For effective
functioning of the STP, it is essential to have an effective O&M plan in place. It will help to
achieve efficiency and consistency in the performance of the treatment system, economising
the running cost of the system, ensuring the recycling potential of the treated discharge, and
maintaining the desired quality of the surrounding environment.

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Solid waste produced by the proposed beach resort is a potential source and cause of environmental
degradation if not scientifically treated and disposed. There is currently no facility in the island to
segregate, collect and recycle waste generated by households and tourists.
Summary of waste generation and disposal in the proposed facility.
Waste generation Quantity (tonnes/month) Disposal
Construction Phase 38.4 • Inert recyclable waste to be handed over to licensed vendors
• Construction debris to be used for back filling/levelling
• Waste oil barrels to be handed over to licensed vendors
Operation Phase 17.15 • Organic waste to be
composted using Organic
Waste Processor
• Recyclable waste to be
handed over to authorised
dealers
• Residue waste to be
transported to Port Blair or
mainland for safe disposal
Regulatory Framework a) Andaman & Nicobar Pollution Control Committee (ANPCC) has notified following guidelines for
solid waste management and good environment management practice in the Hotels/ Resorts:
AII Hotels, Resorts & Restaurants shall make necessary arrangement far segregation of waste at
source as prescribed under Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 and related rules notified by
the local bodies.
1. Facilitate collection of segregated waste in separate bins, handover recyclable material to
either the authorized waste pickers or the authorised recyclers of Port Blair Municipal
Council or by the Local Body.
2. The bio-degradable waste should be processed, treated and disposed of through
composting or bio-methanation within the premises as far as possible.
3. The residual waste shall be given to the waste collectors or agency as per the rules notified
by the local body.
4. AII the plastic waste should be disposed as per the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016
and the rules made and notified by the Local Body.
Page 14
5. The hazardous waste generated, if any, should be disposed of as per the Hazardous and
Other Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
6. As and when renovation of work is undertaken, the construction and demolition waste
should be disposed of as per the provision of Construction and Demolition Waste
Management Rules, 2016.
b) Solid Waste Management Rules 2016 mandates source segregation of waste in order to
channelize the waste to wealth by recovery, reuse and recycle.
1. Waste generators are to segregate waste into three streams- Biodegradables, Dry (Plastic,
Paper, metal, Wood, etc.) and Domestic Hazardous waste (diapers, napkins, mosquito
repellents, cleaning agents etc.) before handing it over to the collector.
2. Hotels and restaurants have been directly made responsible for segregation and sorting
the waste and manage in partnership with local bodies.
3. They are also required to segregate biodegradable waste and set up a system of collection
to ensure that such food waste is utilised for composting / bio methanation.
4. Shall store separately construction and demolition waste, as and when generated and
dispose-off as per the Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016
c) Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 mandates the waste generator to
segregate construction and demolition waste and deposit at collection centre or handover it to
the authorised processing facilities.
Moreover, the project proponents would also have to comply with the following waste management
rules during and post-construction phase:
d) The Port Blair Municipal Council Solid Waste (Handling and Management) Bye Laws 2017
e) Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016.
f) E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016.
g) Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 1998 and 2016.
h) Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
Solid Waste Generation
a) Construction Phase Construction activities can lead to solid waste generation including sand, concrete, gravel, stone,
bricks, plastic, paper, wood, metal and glass. However, since the project adopts green building
principles for complying to GRIHA standards, eco-friendly, prefabricated materials and semi-
permanent structures will be used for construction, and hence the waste generation during
construction would be minimal. The entire construction waste, masonry & plastering debris will be
used for land filling and lower grade of concrete, excavated soil will be used filling up low lying areas.
Glass, wood, aluminium, broken tiles, boxes, cans, etc. will be handed over to authorized vendor for
disposal. Excavated earth material shall be used for refilling. Adoption of precast structures and
prefabricated concrete are proposed for the project and it will help reduce construction waste by
50%.

waste is generated per capita per day by the commercial sector (including tourism sector), but recent
assessment of hotel industry in India2 indicates that a minimum of 1 kg per capita per day of solid
waste is generated by the tourists. 25% is added to this considering the contingency factor arising
from island ecosystem.

Proposed Solid Waste Management Solution The resort will have following onsite facilities-
I. Segregation chamber where waste is separated into paper, plastic, metal, glass, organic waste
and toxic waste.
II. Organic Waste Processor to compost food waste and garden waste. The decomposed soil
produced from the system can be used for landscaping and gardening.
III. Compactor to reduce the volume of the waste before it is sent for processing.
IV. Shredding machine for shredding garden waste which can be then sent to organic waste
processor.
The following flowchart exhibits the process of waste management adopted under holistic
development project led by the local panchayat. It also quantifies the segregation of waste at each
head.
Waste Management Process Flow Diagram
The resort operator shall handover the segregated, compacted waste to scrap dealer(s)/trader(s) in
Port Blair, from where the waste is further processed and segregated into different grades of plastic,
paper, metal, and glass. Non-recyclable waste is to be transported to Port Blair or mainland for safe
disposal. The waste can be transported by sea or by road to Port Blair, either directly by the project
proponent or through scrap dealer(s) at a periodic interval as per the requirement.
a) Other Management Measures Alternatively, the concessionaire will be mandated to reduce waste generation by:
• promoting efficient packaging and decreasing import of plastic in to the island.

5. POWER
The total energy required by the projects has been considered to be the total energy demand on the
project. In the conventional scenario, this demand would be met through electricity supplied to the
project by the utility grid and/or on-site diesel gensets. However, for this project, it is imperative to
have a captive energy generation and management system as the Islands do not have a Grid
connectivity to the Mainland Andaman at present. In order to achieve this, the project will have to
maximize the renewable energy potential on site. The energy generated by the on-site renewable
energy system would reduce the overall energy that the project would require from the non-
renewable sources, such as diesel gensets.
Technology Selection The following table summarises some basic details for each of the renewable technology options for
the proposed energy facility projects in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Renewable Technology Options Analysis
Technology CUF / PLF (%)
Generation Capacity (MU per MW)
Capital Cost (INR cr per MW)
Price per Unit Generated (INR per kWh)
Solar (PV on Land) 16.21% 1.48 4 - 5 5
Solar (Floating PV) 16.21% 1.48 15 16-18
Ocean (Wave - Faraday) 30 - 50% 2.62 - 6.13 28 - 30 15 - 25
Solar - Wind Hybrid 25% 2.19 7.5 5 -6
Solar - Battery Hybrid 16.21% 1.48 25 - 30 14 - 15
Owing to the following factors, a mix of Solar PV and Diesel Generator has been selected as the most
suitable technology option for the power supply in Long Island Project.
Capacity Estimation It is proposed that for the 220 keys premium luxury island resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island3, a solar
power facility of capacity 2.4 MW would be installed within the project premise to cater the energy
requirement of 785 kVA. The diesel power requirement for this hospitality anchor project is estimated
to be ~0.6 MW. The following table captures the solar and diesel split for this energy facility project:
3 The cost of the power and energy facility is only for the first phase of this anchor project which includes the development of 100 keys in a 3 year time frame
Page 20
Solar / Diesel Power Split for Long Island Project
Type Division Capacity (MW)
Solar Plant 50% 2.4
Diesel power 50% 0.6
System Voltage and Electrical Load Requirements
The alternating current frequency for power system will be 50 Hz with the nominal system voltage
and grounding will be as mentioned below in the table:
Nominal Voltage Phase Configuration Phase Configuration
For Hotel rooms 230 Volts Single Two Wires + Earth
For Hotel rooms and Common Services 415 Volts Three Four Wires + Earth
a) Electricity Metering and Lighting System Energy meters shall be provided for monitoring and recording of consumption of energy of all the
common amenities and common services. This will aid in monitoring and minimise the electrical
energy consumption.
There would be separate meters for the utility services like staircase, corridor & parking area lighting,
lifts (elevators), water pumps, STP, etc. from which all common services would function. These meters
are proposed to be installed in the Electrical room of the individual building if found feasible in the
detailed design.
For internal and external lighting system, Efficient lighting system is proposed for indoor and outdoor
areas through Energy efficient light fixtures such as CFL and LED and Fluorescent luminaries fitted with
electronic ballasts.
However, the light fixture selection would be in accordance with the requirements of the Interior
Designer or the Architect(s). The Lighting of various areas will be provided with the illumination level
as per IS Code, NEC & NBC 2005. For outdoor areas, solar lighting system feasibility would be
examined, as also energy efficient LED luminaries for the entranceway, parking areas etc.
b) Earthing System Standard Earthing system shall be provided in accordance with IS: 3043 with its latest amendments
and other statutory regulations. The Earthing system should be TNS type (i.e. separate neutral and
protective conductor). The separate earthing system would be provided for substation LT switchgear,
Transformers, DG sets, etc. Distribution earthing would be carried all along the LT distribution system
or through local earth station/Earth Mat for effectively bonding of the equipment.
Page 21
Each block would have a dedicated earthing station and all these stations shall be looped and to
connect with the existing retaining clusters. Each hotel room would be supplied with separate earth
wire through a common bus at the Main panel. The earthing for light and power points would be
carried out with insulated copper earth wire running throughout the length of the circuit and would
be terminated at the equipment, fixtures etc., with effective bonding to the main earth.
Solar PV Based on a detailed assessment with respect to all
the renewable energy technology options and a
detailed understanding of the specific requirements
of the project island, the most suitable renewable
energy source for the islands has been identified as
a mix of on-ground and rooftop solar PV.
The proposed solution combines advantage of solar
and diesel providing reliable and affordable
electricity.
The PV system complements the diesel gensets. It
can supply additional energy when loads are high or relieve the genset to minimize its fuel
consumption. In the future, excess energy could optionally be stored in batteries, making it possible
for the hybrid system to use more solar power even at night. Intelligent management of various
system components ensures optimal fuel economy and minimizes CO2 emissions.
In addition, PV systems are flexible and can be expanded on a modular basis as the energy demand
grows. Compared to pure gensets systems, a photovoltaic diesel hybrid system provides advantages:
• Lower fuel costs
• Reduced risk of fuel price increases and supply shortages thanks to optimized planning Minimal CO2 emissions (protects the environment and facilitates CO2 certificate trading).

6. FLOATING JETTY
Currently, there are no embarkation and disembarkation facilities at for project site and the boats are anchored
in the shallow waters. Hence, it is prudent to provide floating jetty as a component of the anchor project to
facilitate smooth transition of visitors and guests.
Salient advantages of providing floating jetty:
• Environmental impact of floating jetty is not same as permanent jetty. While permanent jetties call for
concrete construction, piers etc., floating jetty does not require permanent construction of any nature, nor
does it require pier foundations which would damage the sea bed below water surface.
• Surface area occupied by floating jetty would also be negligible, which would not hamper light penetration
and hence would not adversely affect sea weed/grass beds or corals.
• A suitably identified floating jetty in the area would ensure minimal damage to the fragile landscapes
thereby inhibiting any such informal beaching activities.
• The floating jetties shall be permitted only to small boats for meeting local and tourism needs and not for
commercial vessels. These small boats would not affect the seabed as adequate depth is available.
• Currently, floating jetties are used in multiple sites in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and across coastal areas
and islands across India as well.
• Floating jetty proposed at Lalaji Bay, Long Island are in sheltered waters and the wave action is very minimal.
• To further counter wave action and provide stability to the floating jetty, adequate suspended anchors
would be provided below the approach platforms and berthing decks.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PREMIUM ISLAND RESORT AT LALAJI
BAY, LONG ISLAND, ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS
1. Project Background
Long Island is located in the Middle Andaman district, nearly 12.5 kms from the nodal town
of Rangat. Long Island has a significant history. Being a former focal area of timber logging
and plywood factory, the island, until 1989-90 was the headquarters of the Divisional Forest
Office. The island had once been the timber extraction point for the Forest Department as
well as for timber Industries. Subsequently infrastructure had been developed on the island
to enhance connectivity, basic services and social welfare of the workers. Forest quarters
and residential units for industrial workers were setup in the island. In 2001, the Hon.
Supreme Court imposed a ban on timber extraction, leading to shutdown of timber extraction
in Long Islands. Long Island has two villages – Long Village at its southern edge and
Sigmundera in the middle part of the island.
NITI Aayog, the premier policy ‘think-tank’ for the Government of India, intends to implement
the process of holistic development of Indian Islands of Andaman & Nicobar and
Lakshadweep. NITI Aayog has entrusted Andaman and Nicobar Islands Integrated
Development Corporation Limited (A Government Undertaking) as a Nodal body for
development of Andaman & Nicobar Islands under PPP mode and IPE, Global for Expert
technical assistance. ANIIDCO with the technical expertise of IPE, Global Limited identified
Long Island as an existing bag packer’s destination with potential to support perfect luxury
tourism development and prepared a Report on Infrastructure requirement and Management
Measures for Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island.
ANIIDCO on behalf of NITI Aayog has entrusted WAPCOS Limited., a government of India
Undertaking under Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga
Rejuvenation and a NABET Accredited EIA Consultant for Building and Construction
Projects as a consultant for preparation of Environment Management Plan (EMP) for
obtaining integrated EC and CRZ clearance for Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long
Island.
2. Project Components
The proposed project of development of Premium Island Resort at Lalaji Bay, Long Island
broadly includes the following components listed in Table-1 spread over an area of 42.2 ha
(39,600 sqm proposed built up area) at an envisaged capital cost of Rs.379 Crore.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
4.1 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) For Construction Phase
4.1.1 Land Environment
All the construction activities shall be carried out within the project area. Preparation of site
will involve excavations and fillings. The earthen material generated during excavations and
site grading periods, shall be properly dumped and slope stabilization shall be taken. The
topsoil generated during construction shall be used for filling the low level area and will be
reused for plantations within the proposed project site.
The natural drainage pattern shall not be disturbed as far as possible. The approach road to
project site shall be appropriately widened and strengthened to facilitate vehicular
movement. The greenbelt area shall be delineated before start-up of earthwork and tree
plantation shall be taken up during construction stage itself.
Soil Erosion Control
The runoff from the construction site shall mainly consist of high suspended solids. It is
proposed to channelize the surface runoff through garland drains around the construction
site. The collected water can be stored in a storage pond, which will also act as storage
pond as well. The capacity of the storage tank shall be based on the natural rainfall in the
area. The decanted water form the tank can be reused for spray of unmetalled stretches of
roads or stock piles of construction material. During monsoon months, the garland drain
shall carry monsoon runoff. In rest of the year, however, the drain shall remain dry or carry
ANIIDCO Premium Island Resort At Lalaji Bay, Long Island

very little runoff. The silt settled in the drain can be periodically cleaned and used for land
filling or disposed along the construction waste material
Prevention of soil contamination
Vehicle/machinery and equipment operation, maintenance and refueling will be carried out in
such a fashion that spillage of fuels and lubricants does not contaminate the ground. Oil
interceptors will be provided for vehicle parking, wash down and refueling areas within the
construction camps. Fuel storage will be in proper bunded areas. All spills and collected
petroleum products will be disposed off in accordance with CPCB guidelines.
Solid waste management
The labour colonies will generate substantial amount of municipal wastes. In view of the
condition that normally exists in the labour camps of such projects, the solid waste is likely to
contain mainly vegetable waste followed by paper cans and glasses. About 200-250 persons
are likely to congregate during the construction phase at various construction sites resulting
in generation of about 0.13 tonnes of solid waste/day. Adequate facilities for collection and
conveyance of municipal wastes generated to the disposal site shall be developed. A
budgetary provision of Rs.26 Lakh shall be earmarked for solid waste management. The
breakup of budget is shown in table-2.

4.1.3 Restoration and landscaping of project area
The construction of the proposed project would disturb the existing topography and
physiography. Although no major alteration of the area is expected as the layout has been
ANIIDCO Premium Island Resort At Lalaji Bay, Long Island
WAPCOS Limited 7
so conceived that no major impacts on this account are anticipated. It is proposed to
landscape the area, so that it integrates with the natural surroundings. It is proposed to clear
construction waste material from entire area. It should be made mandatory for the contractor
involved in construction activities to remove all the construction waste and restore the
original topography of the area. In addition, following measures are recommended.
Garden Complex: A garden/park with local ornamentation plants and trees shall be created
in the project area. All plants will be properly labeled with scientific and/or common names.

Monitoring of nutrient levels including micro and macro algal blooming symptoms
during the entire period of construction must be ensured.
In case of any such symptoms, suitable changes in the construction activities
(including stopping pilling activities) for short durations must be implemented.
However, there will be not by issues in continuing above water construction activities
during those phases.
Regulated loading of pilling materials in the planned tract must be ensured without
causing much damage to adjacent 100 m grids, i.e, only the grids with the planned
tract of laying inlet and outlet pipes can only be used for the transportation purpose of
piling and construction materials.
Should avoid any disposal of solid wastes including of construction materials in and
around the planned tracts so as to reduce solid waste accumulation in the mangrove
area.
Monitoring of the coral reefs area of the region during dry and wet seasons should be
continued so as to ensure the health of the coral reef in the region.
A short term awareness session must be conducted to the laborer involved in
construction of the inlet and outlet pipes before the start of the project so as to
ascertain the importance of coral resources and to conserve coral reefs its habitat.
