SOIL MONITORING LOCATIONS
The objective of soil monitoring is to identify the impact of ongoing project activities on soil quality and also
predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of various constructions and allied activities and in
consonance of the above, take corrective measures. Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil quality has
been carried out.
To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the physic-chemical characteristics of
soils were examined by obtaining soil samples and analysis of the same. One sample of soil was collected from
back side of the site office from a depth of approximately 6’’ to 9” below the earth surface for studying soil
characteristics, the location of which is listed in Table 3.10.
