Abstract

Construction project of ports, jetties and other marine structures have more negative environmental effects than other projects. In this study, we investigated Environmental Impact assessment for the construction and exploitation of Yard-Valiasr Jetty in Khorramshahr Port using corrected Leopold and RIAM Matrices. Corrected Leopold Matrix results showed that none of the calculated effects and consequences are not at the threshold of the -3.1 degree. The RIAM Result also revealed that negative effects change more between neglected negative effects to moderate negative effects, but for exploitation phases, Water Ecosystem tolerates noticeable negative effects that confirmed corrected Leopold Matrix results. So base on two Matrices result and based on developmental impact of project on industry and transportation and also its compatibility with land use of area, the project could be run by incorporating mitigation plans and monitoring measures.
