GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 5432

PURSUANT to regulation 21 of the Environmental (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an environmental impact assessment study report for the implementation of the proposed sea submarine system.' The project in Kenya is made up of two components: Marine and Terrestrial. The marine components consist of the marine fibre optic cable from the point at which it enters Kenya's Territorial waters (12 nautical miles offshore), to landfall at Mombasa, and to the point of connection with the terrestrial component of the project at Swahili Cultural Centre. The landing site is to be located in-coastal town of Mombasa and the exact location of the onshore terrestrial component will be 04 03.707 S, 39 40.814E, at Swahili Cultural Centre. - The project anticipates the following impacts and mitigation measures. The laying of the cable will be conducted in a professional manner to reduce sentiment disturbances to - as minimal as-possible. The burial technique of the cable will ensure that the trench excavated by a sub- sea plough is able to support the excavated-material until the cable is positioned 'in the trench, thereby allowing the seabed material to fall back into trench, covering the cable minimal sediment disturbance. •The project proponent will liaise with the Kenya Ports Authority and the Kenya Maritime Authority to inform all ships plying the route of the cable laying vessel, of the activities taking place along the route. 3.Electromagnetism • The cable manufacturers will ensure that the cable is designed so that these electromagnetic field emissions are minimum. 4.Visual impact • The onshore cable station will be architecturally designed to blend in with the surrounding'environment. 5.Seafloor trenching impacts • The trenching effect and associated impact is unavoidable. However, the trench will not be of such magnitude as to cause excessive sedimentation, benthic disruption or siltation The trench will be shallow, one or two metres depth and approximately one metre width. Possible impacts 1.Sea floor disturbance 2.Maritime traffic Mitigation measures • Possible impacts Mitigation measures 6.Noise impacts • Noise reduction will be undertaken by ensuring that all the equipment in use like generators, fleet vehicles are equipped with noise mufflers to reduce noise disturbances. 7.Sub sea cable strumming • When crossing hard bottom areas where burial is infeasible and anchoring or bottom-fishing gear is expected, typically "armoured" cable will be used to reduce the "scumming effect" of rhythmic lateral movement of the cable across seabed. 8.Loss of cultural assets • An archaeological survey has been conducted by National Museums of Kenya archaeologist and the results will be used to avoid or minimize any damage to any such artifacts and the relic underground structures during construction. 9.Impact on anchorage • Through the Kenya Maritime Authority, fishing trawlers and other vessels will be informed of the co- ordinates of the marine cable, allowing them to avoid it and prevent damage from anchors and fishing gear. 10.Impacts on fishing • The timing of construction activities to avoid peak tourist seasons, protecting and restoring coastal areas (including trees), and avoiding fisheries areas will all be considered, to the extent feasible. The Kenya Maritime Authority will also be contacted and informed of planned construction or operations activities, so that they can plan adequately.
