It would also imperative to mention here that EIA as a tool was created to be used at the planning stage in line with the precautionary principle – a principle initiated by the Rio Declaration for better and sustainable development. This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been conducted with above objective to collect information about environmental effects of the project. For Baseline information the project area was surveyed to collect primary data. During the field visits, information was collected on environmental sensitivities in the areas, existing roads, neighborhood attributes, and public services. Information on ambient air quality, ambient noise quality, traffic assessment, adjoining roads, specific geotechnical conditions were obtained from the primary sources; whereas, the weather historical data was obtained from secondary sources. Pre-construction Period: Environmental assessment documentation and the Environment Management Plan (EMP) are prepared and approved during the pre- construction period and The EMP’s mitigation (EmiT) Table-18 and monitoring (EmoT) Table 19, identify actions to be undertaken by the PPS management. Prime Properties management will provide a briefing to Staff on the implementation requirements of the EMP. Most of the environmental impacts during design phase such as dislocation of peoples, change of land use, loss of trees and vegetation, relocation of existing utilities, and impacts on archeological sites are neutral and do not require mitigation measures. Construction Period: The Construction phase EMP actions focus mostly on project activities for construction and the management of worksites and equipment and people. Specifically this part of the EMP focuses in defining ways to minimize effects November, 2018 ii Construction of Jinnah Heavens Building Project Environmental Impact Assessment such as top soil erosion, wastewater discharges, air emission release, noise, disposal of demolition / construction debris, disturbance to traffic flow, water consumption and demand, fuel storage, safety of workers and public during construction, employment and business opportunity. Appropriate mitigation protocols are defined in this EIA report. By applying careful building design all other potential impacts can be avoided. However, care will need to be taken during construction activity. Operation Period: Operation period actions focus on confirming that the PPS management has completed the EMP tasks required and that the after residence /occupancy of the building will improve lifestyle of the residents of the building and basic issues like solid waste management, wastewater discharge, provision of sustainable energy, provision of utilities and their consumption, and any fire hazard, sustainable plantation, exhaust ventilation in parking and employment generation will be managed and monitored and per EMP provided in the report. A schedule of activities associated with construction has been prepared and the potential environmental impacts of each activity assessed. For each activity, recommended mitigation and monitoring actions have been identified. These are covered in the EMP. All impacts are minor and able to be mitigated. This EIA study authors concluded that the proposed building project will not lead to significant adverse environmental and social impacts. Careful implementation of the EMP will ensure that environmental impacts are managed and minimized. The project meets all statutory requirements. The environmental safeguard implementation will have to be monitored by concerned persons, including the Project Manager and EHS Officer of PPS. Due diligence, with mandatory coordination among various stakeholders will further ensure mitigation of any adverse impacts.

    Manora Field Notes & Beyond: a Conversation With

    Manora Field Notes & Beyond: A conversation with Naiza Khan In 2019, Naiza Khan became the first British-Pakistani artist to represent Pakistan for the country’s inaugural pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale. Titled Manora Field Notes, the multimedia archival project was inspired by the artist’s twelve years of expansive research and documentation of the maritime trade and histories she unearthed on the island of Manora, situated on the southern part of the Karachi Peninsula. From 1986–1987, Khan studied at Wimbledon College of Art, before going on to receive her BFA in printmaking and painting from the Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford. She recently graduated with an MA in Research Architecture from Goldsmiths’ Department of Visual Cultures. Khan’s work has been widely exhibited internationally, including the Kochi- Muziris Biennale (2016) and the Shanghai Biennale (2012), as well as in exhibitions such as ‘Desperately Seeking Paradise’, Art Dubai, UAE (2008); ‘Hanging Firse: Contemporary Art From Pakistan’, Asia Society, New York (2009); Manifesta 8, Murcia, Spain (2010); the Cairo Biennale, Egypt (2010); ‘Restore the Boundaries: The Manora Project’, Rossi & Rossi Gallery and Art Dubai, Dubai, UAE (2010); ); ‘Art Decoding Violence’, XV Biennale Donna, Ferrara, Italy, (2012); and ‘Set In A Moment Yet Still Moving’, Koel Gallery, Karachi (2017). The artist has been selected for a number of fellowships and residencies, including Gasworks, London; the Rybon Art Centre, Tehran; and the Institute for Comparative Modernities, Cornell University, among others. As a founding member and long-time coordinator of the Vasl Artists’ Collective in Karachi, Khan has worked to foster art in the city and participated in a series of innovative art projects in partnership with other workshops in the region and beyond, such as the Khoj International Artists’ Association, New Delhi; the Britto Arts Trust, Dhaka, Bangladesh; the Sutra Art Foundation, Kathmandu, Nepal; and the Theertha International Artists’ Collective, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

This study was aimed to measure the water quality of eight different creeks around Port Qasim. Samples were collected and analyzed using standard procedures during February and March, 2009. The parameters including pH, Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphate, Chloride, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron, Cobalt, Chromium, Manganese and Cadmium were determined. The result shows that Bakran creek and Gharo-Phitti creeks are heavily polluted compared to other creeks. This study recommends that wastes from the industries or sewerage should be treated before being discharge into the creek system. Key words: Creeks, Port Qasim, nutrients, Gharo-Phitti, Bakran INTRODUCTION Pollution of water bodies is a major concern in the developing nations.
