Volume C Preface
The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Ambatovy Project (the project) is
intended to meet the information requirements outlined in the Terms of
Reference (ToR) in an easily understood and comprehensive package of
information. Information is presented in 11 volumes that address specific subject
areas. The volumes are as follows, and the structure of each volume is depicted
in Figure 1:
Volume A: Introduction
Volume B: Environmental Assessment - Mine
Volume C: Environmental Assessment - Slurry Pipeline
Volume D: Environmental Assessment - Process Plant
Volume E: Environmental Assessment - Tailings Facility
Volume F: Environmental Assessment - Port Expansion
Volume G: Environmental Assessment - Cumulative Effects
Volume H: General Appendices
Volume I: Physical Appendices
Volume J: Biological Appendices
Volume K: Social Appendices
Volume A introduces the EA and contains study area and methodological
information pertaining to all disciplines and all project components.
For the convenience of readers who wish to read only specific parts of the EA,
each of the assessment volumes B through F include descriptions of the project
component being addressed. Therefore, a reader who is interested in one
particular component may read the corresponding assessment volume.
Volume G contains a cumulative effects assessment that addresses the combined
effects of the project components and cumulative effects of the whole project
plus other foreseeable developments in Madagascar.
Where appropriate, the EA refers to separate documents in volumes H through K
called Appendices, which contain additional technical and baseline information.
These volumes also contain environmental assessment appendices for some
disciplines with information of relevance to the environmental assessment for
multiple components of the project. The glossary, acronyms and references for
all volumes are listed in Volume H Appendices 12 and 13.
