A car washing and lubricating company has been operating for several years (more than 10 yr) in a terrain with the following characteristics: porous, filterable with a phreatic level near to the surface (1.5 m depth). The company is located close by to an estuary branch which is quite useful for them since they discharge all the disposals and waste generated by this activity directly into the estuary. These waste disposals contain a high level of oils and greases. All the dumping from the car maintenance goes directly into the soil since there are not palettes or gutters. The lubricating company operates for 20 hours for seven days per week. The local people have complained to the Municipality which has arranged the execution of an EIA and you are part of it. (i) What type of environmental evaluation has to be performed by the Municipality according to this case? (ii)What type of professionals will be part of the consultancy group performing the EIA. (iii) Mention three positive and three negative environmental impacts of this activity. (iv) Mention three mitigation measures you will propose as part of your EMP to mitigate the impacts identified
