DESCRIPTION
EGAT’s coal-fired power plant in Krabi is powered by mined lignite with an expected total production of 15.34 million tons from 4 main deposit basins. There are 9 reclamation areas of 2,085 rais where the mining has changed the topographic condition and land use into pits and spoils.
The reclamation master plan comprises of top soil restoration, spoil piling and replantation, implementation plan, cost estimation and the development of guidelines for project monitoring and evaluation.
After the 5 stages of reclamation, most of the reclaimed areas were proposed to become para rubber plantations with 2 pits utilized as reservoirs and aquaculture development. Four new villages and land allocation with the priority to original residents or government agencies are proposed. Recreation area such as public park and golf course is also provided. Existing EGAT’s infrastructure and building is to be developed as Training institute for government officers and small urban communities.
