Dear Sir/madam

Request for an EIA due to potential negative environmental and social impact due to
proposed LEGO Amusement Park in Kaduwela

I like to bring in to your concern the negative impacts which could arise due to the construction of the
proposed construction of the LEGO amusement park in Kaduwela. Address to the proposed site is No: 16
Isurupura Rd Kothalawala, Kaduwela. It was brought to my concern by the people around the site that there
are many negative impacts due the proposed construction. According to the local residents the location is a
very calm environment and is habitable. But during and after construction of the LEGO amusement park
the environment and the residents will be adversely effected mainly those who live within the 100 m buffer
of the proposed facility. As this proposed construction greatly affect the residents around the site it is
requested to carry out an EIA (public hearing), instead of IEE (no public hearing) which is carried out for
similar constructions.

I would like to present the negative impacts in two sections divided as during construction and operation
stage. This site is a wild life habitat with variety of trees and animals and clearing the site would damage
these habitats. During the construction phase there is a large movement of heavy vehicles which will cause
many problems such as traffic congestion as Isurupura road is a narrow road and also the main road will be
blocked due to increase in vehicle conflicts. Conditions of the roads will deteriorate soon and residents will
not be able to carry out their daily work during construction. From the movement of heavy vehicles there
will be vibrations causing damages to the existing buildings besides the roads. Due to emission of dust there
will be health effects to the same people. Excess concrete may be washed to the surrounding which damages
the environment. As the water consumption is high during construction and water is supplied by the national
water supply and drainage board there will be a drop in water supply to the residents. There will be
compaction machinery even piling maybe needed these could create very large vibrations which could
result in cracking of walls of the surrounding buildings and also these could create sounds which are loud
which may disturb the surrounding residents.

During operation there will be harm to the environment and residents in ways such as, floods may occur
after the construction as this site was informed as a flood plain and this area gets inundated frequently so
after the construction it is believed that the area around the site may get flooded as for the construction
there will be a land fill which will make the elevation of the land higher which will make the surrounding
lands to get inundated which will affect the residents. There will be many people around the area after the
construction therefor safety issues will arise and the area would be commercialize making residents feel
uncomfortable in their own homes. Light pollution will occur as there will be lights on during night time
as well. After the construction a lots of people visit to this amusement park. But the road is too narrow. So
daily there is a huge vehicle traffic problem. And the residential people faced the traffic problem in the
working time. And they irritated by the Ferris wheel sound, timber train sound and visited people’s voice
etc. And the birds and animals which are attracted by amusement park’s waste mostly damage the
surrounding environment. Cultural changes will occur because of the recreational park as there are
visitors which have different perspectives and as there is attraction of tourists.
Concerning the all above potential negative environmental and social impacts I kindly request for an EIA
as this take the opinions of residents who are adversely effected
Thank you
Yours faithfully
