contaminate the air, soil and water.
 Install all measures and equipment
to control harmful effects.
 Goals targeting zero environmental
infringement.
 Effective environmental management

Spilling of liquid chemicals and contaminated
water into the nearby water bodies.

constructed water storage. The waste disposal
technology helped in the reduction of
environmental pollution.
Reduction of air pollution Established greenhouse
gas emissions reduction, efficient use of
energy.
 Boral has a an effective layout
design, orientation and is located in
places with minimal breezes that in
turn do not transport the gaseous
carbon dioxide far
Focus should be given on implementing the
framework.
Water management Water contamination and shortage of supply
 Maintain three lined bunding system
to retain water and avert
contamination.
 Settling floors to capture grey and
black water
 Completely covered
 Adjacent creek and riparian zone is
protected from runoff contamination
and wind-blown dust and grain from
storage unit
Noise Reduction of production and machine
generated noise
 Continuous monitoring

protected area surrounded by trees
 Effluent is captured and reused, whilst
sludge is contained and sent to drying
beds
 Utilising permaculture principles
 Complete detachment from farming land
Dust Control Gas and dust emissions to the environment established greenhouse
gas emissions reduction, efficient use of energy,
Large potential for environmental hazard
considering proximity to protected
Community Protection
land use, urbanization and development
destruct natural ecosystems in turn
threatening biodiversity
Possible overlap between natural
environments, industrial areas and the
community
 The zoning instructs conditional
utilization of the land thereby giving
room for urban development while
constantly protecting and advancing
natural environments
 prevents any development from
affecting the industry’s operation
