At a level <strong>of</strong> detail appropriate to the scale <strong>of</strong> the project, describe the relevantgeomorphology, supported by illustrative mapping highlighting any significant featuresassociated with environmental values.Potential impacts and mitigation measuresDescribe the potential beneficial and adverse impacts <strong>of</strong> the project on landscapecharacter and visual qualities <strong>of</strong> the site and the surrounding area. Address the localand broader visual impacts <strong>of</strong> the project buildings, jetties and berths, and otherstructures during all stages <strong>of</strong> the project as it relates to the surrounding landscape.This should include views from:• places <strong>of</strong> local residence, work and recreation• road, cycleways and walkways• other sensitive social places, such as educational and childcare facilities• the air• other known vantage points.Use sketches, diagrams, computer imaging/simulation and photographs wherepossible to portray the near and far views <strong>of</strong> the completed structures and theirsurroundings from local residential areas.Provide an assessment <strong>of</strong> all potential impacts <strong>of</strong> the project’s lighting, during allstages, with particular reference to objectives to be achieved and managementmethods to be implemented to mitigate or avoid impacts including, but not limited to:• the visual impact <strong>of</strong> night operations and maintenance• the effects <strong>of</strong> lighting on residents• the potential impact <strong>of</strong> increased vehicular traffic• the effects <strong>of</strong> lighting on terrestrial and marine fauna and wildlife habitats.Detail the measures to be undertaken to mitigate or avoid identified adverse impacts.5.2.3. Topography, geology and soilsDescription <strong>of</strong> environmental valuesProvide maps locating the project in state, regional and local contexts. The topographyshould be detailed with contours at suitable increments, shown with respect toAustralian height datum. Include significant features <strong>of</strong> the landscape and topography,and accompanying comments on the maps.Provide a description, map and a series <strong>of</strong> cross-sections <strong>of</strong> the geology <strong>of</strong> the projectarea relevant to the project components, including <strong>of</strong>fshore structures and areasproposed to be dredged.Describe the geological properties that may influence ground stability, occupationalhealth and safety, or the quality <strong>of</strong> stormwater leaving any area disturbed by theproject.- 28 - Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement
