How many sampling point for water
surface?
The species diversity indices of the
phytoplankton and
zooplankton are generally low, which
may be as a result the
source of tile composite samples.
River Jemison may be more authentic as
stated on tables 3.12 & .
3.13 for surface water samples. Page 3-
13,
Table 3.9 on wildlife
should be roused to include a column on
rare und endangered spp.
Page 3.2.3 “soil studies" lines 1-3, the statement that
"the dominant
texture is loamy sand with a mean
percentage sand of 83.2% (Table 3.3)
but from table 3.3 "physiochemical
characteristics of soil in the Oben field"
the particle size analyses (sand, silt and
clay) and not loamy soil it
is better to say that “sand” is the dominant
component of 83.2%" instead
of loamy sand.
The source and date of data acquisition of
tables 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9,
3.10, 3.11. 3.12, 3.13 should be stated.
Result for stations BH2 and BH3 on page
3-14. table 3.10 not shown.
The aspect of the report reviewed contain
most of the essential
components of an EIA study and
reasonably well executed. However,
in addition to the observations stated
above (under Ecology) many
typographical errors were noted in the
report.
