ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT1New Power Plant:There are various methods by which we can mitigate the impacts of the new power plant.There are various impacts associated with the development of the new power plant like the airpollution due to emission of different air pollutants, noise pollution, congestion in the traffic,water pollution, effects on the historical monuments, safety related issues, waste managementand, employment related issues many more (Drbal Westra and Boston 2012). The various waysof mitigating this risks are listed below:a. The power plant should aim at reducing the different the different air pollutants that causesharm to the environment. These pollutants include SO2, NO2, different particulates and carbonmonoxide (CO). the power plant should aim at improving their efficiency on the production so asto reduce the pollutant emissions along with that they should also aim at shifting to the use of thenuclear power plant as there is no emission of sulphur oxide from this type of plants(Phoenix etal. 2012). They can also use fuels with low sulphur content rather than using fossil fuels.Emission of these harmful elements can be avoided by the use of solar energy or pipeline gradegas made from coals.b. The best way of reducing noise pollution is to contact the manufacturers of the turbine so as toreduce the problem. The manufacturers of the turbine are able to change the turbines operatingparameters so as to mitigate the problem. The plant should hire experts capable of evaluating theproblems and can suggest certain ways so that a potential solution is obtained (Goto Yogo andHigashii 2013). They can introduce baffles so that changes can take place in the acousticalresonance modes. Stiffening elements can also be added to strategic locations so that the changestake place and the resonant frequency is taken away from the problem frequency.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT2c. The plant has to look into the matter of dumping their waste water into the river. They have tocheck that the water coming out from there is plant is not too much hot. Along with that theyhave to check that there are no harmful pollutants present in the water which can affect theaquatic life and the peoples residing near the plant. They should adopt a proper way of removingthe pollutants from the water or any type of liquid that they are dumping into the river(Sueyoshiand Goto 2012). Pre-treatment needs to be done of any type of liquid coming out from the plant.d. Avoiding the problems with the traffic should be done by the plant. They should limit thenumber of cars entering and leaving the plant(Drbal Westra and Boston 2012). The plant shouldconsider the making of new parking slots for the cars entering and leaving the plant. Propertimings should be fixed for the cars to enter or leave the plant like allowing the heavy vehicles toenter the plant only at night time or in the early morning so that the busy timings of the day arenot affected due to the plants.Sea Defence:Option A or the hard defence can be recommended as the best option. According to thetwo development solution for the problems faced in a seashore has been compared on the basisof the magnitude and the significance. The actions or factors and the impacts of the costaldefence system has been provided below.Identification ofImpacts orfactorsImpact areasSoil erosionThe beaches , mudflats or saltmarshes are affected.Loss of site forspecific scientificinterestas the materials of the project will be coming by roads and Parkston Quayport so it will lead to loss of 1.4HA of the SSSI(Abanades Greaves andIglesias 2014).Change ofthe plan of pumping the water together with the degraded material will
