Mitigation is only a means to minimise the environmental costs. Two kinds of approaches are being adopted for mitigation planning of this project namely `ameliorative mitigation' and `avoidance mitigation'. Ameliorative mitigation would mean adopting strategies and approaches for minimising the resource inputs into project (eg. land), reducing the duration of certain activities (eg. earthwork & use and heavy machinery) in the life of the project and lowering the quantities of undesirable outputs (eg. noise pollution).

Avoidance mitigation would demand enforcing certain `stringent controls' on the resource use and the happening of certain events in the life of project (eg. mushrooming of residential buildings around the site).
