FORESTRY AND WILDLIFE ECOLOGY


Wildlife

Parameter: Survey of wildlife around the project area including species, status and abundance.

Location: Within a radius of 5 km around the project site.

Duration: Six months from the beginning of the construction. The measure specified the survey of wildlife be conducted around the project area for

species, status and abundance in the area within 5 km radius of the project site for six months after the

project construction.

From the results of environmental impact surveillance on wildlife resources in the area

during this early part of the construction phase of Nong Saeng Power Plant Project, it was found that the

conditions of wildlife habitats and ecology in the area were changed very slightly and no impact was

imposed on the local wildlife resources and the associated diversity, abundance and status of wildlife in the

project area. The observed resultant change was found to be naturally seasonal-based, which was considered

as normal. Therefore, the results implied that the mitigative measures for wildlife resources were effectively

implemented as specified in the EIA report of Nong Saeng Power Plant Project. Details are presented in the

Environmental Measures Report, No.2/2011.


Parameter: Survey of wildlife around the project area for the study of their diversity, species, abundance

and all survival in the project area.

Location: Within a radius of 5 km around the project site.

Duration: At the beginning of the project operation and every 3 years thereafter with a survey in each

of the rainy and winter seasons of the year and for a total time period of 10 years. If the

findings do not indicate any tendency of the project-induced impact, the survey will be

determined.

AQUATIC ECOLOGY AND FISHERY


Aquatic Ecology

Parameter: Phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos

Location: Klong Huaiba (Klong Nong-Ngu-Loem); (i) 500 meters upstream of Nong Saeng Power Plant Project Site; (ii) Discharge point of the project and (iii) 500 meters downstream of the project’s discharge point.

Duration: Every three months throughout the construction period.

Sampling Method:

- Phytoplankton : Vertical plankton tow with plankton net mesh size 20-60 µm.

- Zooplankton : Vertical plankton tow with plankton net mesh size 100-200 µm for zooplankton and mesh size 300 µm for fish eggs and larvae.

- Benthos : Ekman Grab used to collect samples from the bottom layer of sediment.

The programme of aquatic ecology monitoring specified that the types and densities of

phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos be monitored every 3 months during construction phase in the area

of Klong Huaiba (Klong Nong-Ngu-Loem) at 3 locations, i.e., 500 meters upstream of Nong Saeng Power

Plant Project Site, Discharge point of the project, and 500 meters downstream of the project’s discharge

point.

0019254-0000566 TY:2432489.23 18

of 3,655 cell/l. The predominant species was found to be Strombomonas sp. and the

diversity index of phytoplankton was 1.9562.

- Zooplankton : Only 1 species in Phylum Arthropoda was found, i.e., Copepod naupil. The

density was found to be 430 ind./litre. The diversity index could not be determined since

only one species was found.

- Benthos : Three phyla of benthos were found, i.e., 1 species (Lumbriculidae) in Phylum

Annelida, 1 species (Chironomus sp. ) in Phylum Arthropoda and 1 species (Indonaia sp.) in

Phylum Mollusca with the density of 89, 134 and 45 ind./m2 respectively. The diversity

index of benthos was 1.0123.

point



of 16,400 cell/l. The predominant species was found to be Dictyosphaerium sp. and the


- Zooplankton : Only 1 species in Phylum Protozoa was found, i.e., Coleps sp. with the

density of 200 ind./litre. The diversity index could not be determined since only one species

was found.

- Benthos : No benthos was found in this area.

Second Monitoring Results (December 20, 2012)

(1) Klong Huaiba at 500 meters upstream of Nong-Saeng Power Plant Project Site


Cyanophyta, 10 species in Chlorophyta and 3 species in Chromophyta with the total

density of 56,945 cell/l. The predominant species was found to be Aulacoseira sp. and the


- Zooplankton : Only 1 species in Phylum Rotifera was found, i.e., Polyarthra sp. with the

1species (Chironomus sp.) in Arthropoda, and 2 species (Indonaia sp. and Scabies sp.) in

Mollusca. The total density was 268 ind./m2 and the diversity index of benthos was 1.3314.

Summary of Monitoring Results of Aquatic Ecology

- Phytoplankton : The monitoring results revealed that Divisions mostly found in all 3

monitoring areas were Division Cyanophyta (blue green algae), Division Chlorophyta

(green algae) and Division Chromophyta (diatom). These Divisions are generally found in

surface water resources or freshwater. The diversity index indicating the variety of lives

was found to be close to or more than 1 implied that the environmental conditions and

surface water quality were not imposed by any impacts. The results of diversity index were

mostly found to be more than 1 in all 3 monitoring areas, so the surface water quality was

considered to be good.

- Zooplankton : The monitoring results revealed that the phyla found in the monitoring areas

were Phylum Rotifera, Phylum Arthropoda and Phylum Protozoa. Only one species were

mostly found in the monitoring areas, thus the diversity index was not determined.

No zooplankton was found at Station No.3 on December 20, 2012.

- Benthos : The monitoring results revealed that Phylum Annelida, Phylum Arthropoda

(larvae), Phylum Mollusca (quahog) were mostly found in the sampling areas. Comparing

the monitoring results on September 3, 2012 and December 20, 2012, the density and

diversity index at Station No.1 and No.3 were found to be increased indicating better water

quality. However, the monitoring results at Station No.2 were decreased.
