Examine the compatibility and complementarity of the development with the surrounding land uses. Assess the impacts of the development on power demands, water demands, and access road congestion as well as possible impacts on surface run-off and ground water qualities and quantities, if any. Develop an Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP) that would mitigate the possible impacts on the environment. 10. Consultations and Public Participation Public participation and consultative forums were held at the site that included primary stakeholders, quarry and transport drivers. These are not PAPs but are those who stand to benefit from the rehabilitation and improvement of Quarry roads. The aim of the consultative meetings was to obtain data related to the project for environmental and social analysis, both present and that are significant to the future environmental and social status of the area for management of the project both during and after implementation. The primary stakeholders responded positively to the development as long as mitigation and mending up measures are developed and implemented simultaneously with the project. The key concern that was raised during the consultations was if the project was to include the whole road to the quarries. The other stakeholders included the County Government of Machakos that was represented by its officials in CPP meetings. The record of the consultations is presented in this report in the form of questionnaires, attendance sheets and minutes of meetings held that had been administered to the
