With only a 575 ha footprint, the mine's contribution to regional losses was considered negligible, temporary and mitigable. |
The issues at hand include the extent of that influence, the expected sensitivity experienced by various organisms and whether the measured effects are mitigable. |
These actions are subject to a cursory or screening level review because they are relatively small in size and cause predictable and mitigable effects. |
All impacts were found to be mitigable to levels of insignificance. |
After the panel review, the environmental effects were seen as being largely predictable and mitigable. |
Development proposals where the effects are well understood and readily mitigable using standard measures, fit into this category. |
