Wafi-Golpu Environmental Impact Statement, Papua New Guinea

BMT was engaged as part of a specialist team to prepare the aquatic ecology, water quantity, hydrology and geomorphology chapters for the Wafi-Golpu Environmental Impact Statement in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.

Background

Client: Advisian for Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture

BMT was engaged as part of a specialist team to prepare the aquatic ecology, water quality, hydrology and geomorphology chapters for the Wafi-Golpu Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. 

The project involved preparing a detailed site selection and sampling plan, and conducting field surveys within a tight timeframe to meet overall project deadlines. BMT worked with on-site WGJV staff across a project area that extended between the lower Watut River and the Wampit River.

Outcomes and Benefits

Due to the remote location of the project, BMT undertook detailed logistics planning to ensure the field survey was completed without interruption to the site staff, and met projected timelines and budgets.

A range of modelling was undertaken to assist with the project design and assess hydrology and water quality impacts to receiving environments. The EIS has been submitted for government review.
