The environmental situation of the quarry area in Gharyan Municipality
الملخص
Urban development and expansion have contributed to increased demand for building materials to meet the growing needs and requirements of urban and population growth. This demand has fueled the rapid expansion of industrial areas, particularly those providing raw building materials such as sand and gravel of various sizes. The area to be assessed for environmental conditions is located in the northeast of Gharyan, an open, non-residential area. Air quality in the area, particularly dust and noise levels, will be assessed, along with plant and animal biodiversity, ensuring the absence of rare or threatened species. The study reveals: A field survey of the environment in the area targeted by the study revealed that it is a non-residential and non-agricultural area with numerous quarries and crushers.
- The area is characterized by the presence of some sections of black stone, which consists of igneous rocks of volcanic origin, giving it greater hardness and, consequently, less dust generated by the project.
- The assessment methodologies used indicated that the negative impacts of the crushers, provided that environmental procedures, standards, and controls are followed, will not pose significant risks that would cause severe damage to the surrounding environment.
