4. DEFINITION
4.1 Body of Water
A body of water is any significant accumulation of water such as an ocean, a lake, or a river.
Some bodies of water can be man-made, or artificial, such as a pond, lake or harbor, but most
are naturally occurring geographical features. Bodies of water that are navigable are known as
waterways.
4.2 Landfill
A landfill, also known as a dump, is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is
the oldest form of waste treatment. Landfills have been the most common methods of
organized waste disposal. Landfills are used for waste management purposes, such as the
temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or processing of waste material (sorting,
treatment, or recycling).
4.3 Environmental Impact Assessment
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the likely influence a project
may have on the environment. “Environmental Impact Assessment can be defined as: The
process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other
relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and
commitments made. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision-makers
consider environmental impacts of the project during the project site mobilization for
construction up to operation.
4.4 Hazardous Material
Any gaseous, liquid, or solid, which due to its quantity, physical, chemical or infectious
characteristic has, the potential to harm health or the environment when improperly handled,
treated or disposed of hazardous materials are classified into the following categories:
Flammables, Explosives, Pesticides, Chemicals and Hospital waste. Others are
Pharmaceuticals, non-ferrous metals, corrosive chemicals/materials/wastes that may react
with other materials dangerously (e.g. Glue, paints, paint thinner, Air freshener, detergents
and nail polish).
4.5 Waste
Waste is an unwanted or undesired material or substance (solid or liquid). It is also referred to
as rubbish, trash, garbage, or junk depending upon the type of material and the regional
terminology.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 Site Manager
He is the main responsible person in the implementation of the Environment Management
Procedure. He shall create an Environmental team through HSSE Manager that will make

(4) Collect and dispose off waste promptly


(5) Stringent housekeeping standards
(6) Monitoring and inspection of all construction activities to ensure environmental
compliance.
(7) Thorough record keeping
(8) Recycle/recovery by conversion of wastes into usable materials and/or extraction of
energy or materials from wastes such as recycling scrap metals.
(9) Identify and evaluate new technology or methods applicable to waste reduction,
recycling and disposal.
(10) Enhance employee and subcontractors awareness of waste minimization techniques.
(11) Effective training
6.1 Waste Analysis
Waste shall be analyze depends on his physical characteristics as well as its chemical
composition; proper waste analysis shall be the basis in waste segregation, disposal and
containment.
(1) Types of Waste
(1.1) Hazardous Waste
Waste materials are classified as hazardous wastes when they exhibit one or more of
the characteristics shown below or are hazardous by definition. The rules for handling
hazardous materials may be different from the rules for handling a non-hazardous
waste.
Hazardous Wastes exhibit one or more of the following characteristics.

 Explosive

 Flammable

 Spontaneous Combustion Potential

 Oxidizing Potential

 Toxic

 Corrosive
A hazardous waste may be made non-hazardous by removal of the hazardous
characteristic. Thus oily wastes- may be made non-hazardous by incineration of the oil,
providing, of course, the ash is non-hazardous. Wastes that have too high or too low of
pH may be made non-hazardous by neutralization, if that is their only hazardous
characteristic.
(1.2) Non-Hazardous Waste
Non-hazardous-wastes are all wastes that are not hazardous wastes and are not inert
construction wastes. This includes common garbage, office wastes, construction
JL56-PP-08-P49 Rev A, Sheet 6 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

wastes that are burnable such as boxes, and treated sewage effluent and sewage
sludge.
(1.3) Inert Construction Wastes
Inert construction wastes are wastes that are solid and on disposal in a landfill are not
reasonably expected to undergo physical, chemical, or biological changes to such an
extent as to produce substances that may cause an adverse effect. Such wastes
include but are not limited to demolition debris, concrete, asphalt, glass, ceramic
materials, unpainted scrap metal, and dry timber or wood that has not been chemically
treated, but does not include hazardous wastes.
Note that hazardous or non-hazardous wastes, herein, cannot contaminate the scrap
metal and other wastes defined. Wastes contaminated with hazardous substances are
hazardous by definition.
(2) Waste Identification and Categorization
The followings are some of the identified wastes types expected for most of the MD
projects and the waste categorization. Please refer to Waste Management Procedure
(JL56-PP-08-P52) for brief description and proper disposal procedure for each waste.
(2.1) Oily waste
(2.2) Paint waste
(2.3) Cement and concrete waste
(2.4) Vegetation debris
(2.5) Scrap metal
(2.6) Wood waste
(2.7) Glass
(2.8) Plastics

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

(1) Waste Inventory


The HSSE Manager will maintain a waste inventory to keep record of the types and
quantities of waste present at the job sites. This record shall be used to monitor the
effectiveness of the waste management program. The waste inventory shall be
submitted to MD management and client on a monthly basis if requested.
(2) Waste Segregation
Given the complex nature of the waste, MD will undertake a waste segregation exercise
involving sorting and separating waste on the basis of its characteristics. Waste
materials shall be segregated at source by providing colored and marked (with
universal symbols and written in English) bins for storing the waste.
(3) Waste Collection and Storage
All waste generated on site will be removed promptly to the waste depot. Sufficient
numbers of colored and labeled collection bins shall be located, in all waste producing
areas. Each of these containers shall have a tight sealing lid. No waste collection bin
shall be allowed to overflow before it is emptied, and waste storage receptacles shall be
replaced promptly, in the event of damage.
The main waste depot will be located in a central position. The depot collection facility
will be made of concrete, lined with polyethylene and fitted with an appropriate drainage
line. (From time to time any leaching will be analyzed if hazardous or if it can be
rendered non-hazardous). The waste depot shall be kept tidy, free of vermin, and
continuously fumigated and sanitized with appropriate disinfectants.
Hazardous wastes shall be segregated from non-hazardous wastes and shall be kept in
a separate lockable fenced area.
(4) Waste Transportation System
Solid wastes will be collected regularly and transported to the appropriate disposal site.
Sanitary wastes will be transported to the designated sewage plant by an underground
sewer collection system where possible. Construction sanitary wastes in camps will be
handled in chemical toilets. Contaminated soils will be collected by earth moving
equipment, loaded into trucks, and transported to remediation or disposal site.
(5) Waste Disposal Options
All disposal options will be contracted out to waste contractors approved by the
appropriate organizations and recognized by the client. Please refer to Waste
Management Procedure (JL56-PP-08-P52) for brief description of waste disposal
options. This could be in the form of;
(5.1) Landfill
(5.2) Surface discharge
(5.3) Land application
(5.4) Neutralization/stabilization
(5.5) Reclaiming/re-use
(5.6) Burial

ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

6.3 Waste Handling, Training and Monitoring


Any worker or subcontractor employee who handles any type of waste will use Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate to the type of waste involved.
MD will develop and implement a waste tracking mechanism to monitor waste from the point
of generation to final disposal. This tracking mechanism shall be subject to daily checks to
ensure that all waste generated for a given day are effectively tracked, collected and treated.
Environmental Policy & concerns, including waste management, will be a part of the HSE
Induction training that every employee will undergo. MD will give further training in project
environmental procedures and requirements to the workers assigned to the environmental
management team.
Environmental Awareness Training shall be conducted annually to all employees while a bi-
annual training shall be conducted to all personnel that will be working or near hazardous
substances.

7. SITE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL


7.1 Dust Pollution during Construction Phase
MD shall adequately spray the area with water especially the road under construction to
prevent or minimize dust. Water spraying construction areas shall be done twice a day,
morning and afternoon in a regular basis.
7.2 Body of Water and Drinking Water Station
MD shall protect all forms of body of water around the site that will be affected during the
construction period this includes river, sea, swamp or lakes.
HSE Supervisor shall conduct regular inspection and waste water sampling & analysis in all
waste water collection and temporary storage area; all finding shall be documented and to be
reported to HSE Manager. No waste water coming from the construction site will be discharge
to this body of water without proper treatment or tested to be safe and will not harm any form
of living things living in the environment.
Waste water that does not classified as safe to disposed to environment shall be collected by
designated waste subcontractor and to be treated according to local environmental procedure.
Waste subcontractor shall be monitored by HSSE Manager if it is complying with the
environmental standard by regular audit and inspection of its waste water treatment facilities
and dumping area (Subcontractors Safety Management Procedure – JL56-PP-08-P08).
Lack of culverts across road, lack drainage along the road, road junction and slit
sedimentation will result to flooding. MD will provide proper culverts and drainage systems to
continuously allow free movement of water across the road. To prevent siltation, properly
designed silt trap shall be provided. The drainage shall go along gentle slope so as to avoid
erosion and siltation at the inlets and shall be linked to the existing drainage system.
The impacts of storm water runoff will result in accumulation of pollutants in the collection
system and could have an unacceptable impact on the receiving water body.
General guidelines are as follows:
 Environmental Supervisor shall monitor potentially contaminated storm water and skim
JL56-PP-08-P49 Rev A, Sheet 9 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

free oil;
 Contaminated storm waters which run off from areas within the project shall be
directed through appropriate treatment facilities
 Runoff water’s solid particle shall be allowed to subside before discharged.
Drinking water locations should be provided with hard standing area to prevent the
accumulation of water on ground & same should be connected to sewage sump to be
tankered away. As the ground is rocky & water does not percolate into earth, it accumulates
on surface leading to unhygienic conditions; hence water should not be allowed to collect on
surface of earth.
7.3 Noise Control
MD shall administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program, as described in this
section, whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted
average sound level (TWA) of 85 dB(A) decibels measured. For purposes of the hearing
conservation program, employee noise exposures shall be computed in accordance with the
applicable standard formula, and without regard to any attenuation provided by the use of
personal protective equipment and other hearing protection program as required in Table 2.
(1) Hazards of Exposure to noise sequences are as:
(1.1) Causes annoyance and irritation
(1.2) Affects concentration and efficiency
(1.3) Causes fatigue and accident proneness
(1.4) Prevents ear from registering other sounds, instructions and warnings
(1.5) Short exposure to excess noise causes damage to the inner ear and permanent loss of
hearing
(2) Limiting Exposure to noise can be reduced by:
(2.1) Engineering and control methods (e.g. installation of silencer, sound controlled
equipment enclosure, replacing equipment with a low noise producing equipment if
possible)
(2.2) Job rotation
(2.3) Providing rest rooms or acoustic refuges
(2.4) Re-arranging work locations
(2.5) PPE (ear plug, ear muffs)
(3) Noise Values associated with Construction Equipment
The below Table 1- Noise Level of Construction Equipments - features approximate noise
levels associated with general construction equipment.

8. COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL


8.1 General Hazards
Project team should implement risk management strategies to protect the community from
physical, chemical, or other hazards associated with sites under construction.
Risks may arise from inadvertent or intentional trespassing, including potential contact with
hazardous materials, contaminated soils and other environmental media, buildings that are
vacant or under construction, or excavations and structures which may pose falling and
entrapment hazards. Risk management strategies may include:
 Restricting access to the site, through a combination of institutional and administrative
controls, with a focus on high risk structures or areas depending on site-specific
situations, including fencing, signage, and communication of risks to the local
community
 Removing hazardous conditions on construction sites that cannot be controlled
effectively with site access restrictions, such as covering openings to small confined
spaces, ensuring means of escape for larger openings such as trenches or
excavations, or locked storage of hazardous materials
8.2 Noise impact in the Community
Construction noise in the community may not pose a health risk or damage peoples' sense of
hearing, but it can adversely affect peoples' quality of life. To some degree, construction noise
can be a contributing factor to the degradation of someone's health in that it can cause people
to be irritated and stressed and can interrupt their ability to sleep - all of which may lead to
higher blood pressure, anxiety, and feelings of animosity toward the people or agencies
responsible for producing the noise.
In fact, several of the traditional definitions of "noise" (i.e. unwanted or undesirable sound) can
be associated with construction noise. Construction noise can be perceived or considered to:
 be too loud
 be impulsive
 be uncontrollable
 contain annoying pure tones
 occur unexpectedly
 occur at undesirable times of day
 interrupt people's activities
Construction noise has the potential to disturb people at home in their residences, in office
buildings or retail businesses, in public institutional buildings, at locations of religious services,
while attending sporting events, or when on vacation.
Noise impacts can occur on any project involving the construction of any project. While the
magnitude of the impact construction noise may have on a community may not be known early
in the project development stages, measures can be implemented during the design phase
that can help to reduce the anticipated noise impacts at sensitive receptors.
8.3 Mitigating the effects of noise to Community during construction
JL56-PP-08-P49 Rev A, Sheet 13 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

The level of detail in a contract required to address construction noise mitigation is dependant
on the complexity of the project, the amount and type of work required, and the sensitivity of
the area beyond the project boundary. Therefore, not all projects require the same amount of
detail.
The effective control of construction noise can be achieved in much the same manner as the
control of operational traffic by considering the following techniques:
 Alternative design options
 Mitigation at the source
 Mitigation along the path
 Mitigation at the receiver

8.4 Air Emissions


Construction activities may generate emission of fugitive dust caused by a combination of on-
site excavation and movement of earth materials, contact of construction machinery with bare
soil, and exposure of bare soil and soil piles to wind. A secondary source of emissions may
include exhaust from diesel engines of earth moving equipment, as well as from open burning
of solid waste on-site. Techniques to consider for the reduction and control of air emissions
from construction and decommissioning sites include:
 Minimizing dust from material handling sources, such as conveyors and bins, by using
covers and/or control equipment (water suppression, bag house, or cyclone)
 Minimizing dust from open area sources, including storage piles, by using control
measures such as installing enclosures and covers, and increasing the moisture
content
 Dust suppression techniques should be implemented, such as applying water or non-
toxic chemicals to minimize dust from vehicle movements
 Selectively removing potential hazardous air pollutants, such as asbestos, from
existing infrastructure prior to demolition
 Managing emissions from mobile sources
 Avoiding open burning of solid
8.5 Wastewater Discharges
Construction activities may include the generation of sanitary wastewater discharges in
varying quantities depending on the number of workers involved. Adequate portable or
permanent sanitation facilities serving all workers should be provided at all construction sites.
Sanitary wastewater in construction and other sites should be managed as per Waste
Management Procedure.
8.6 Traffic Safety
Construction activities may result in a significant increase in movement of heavy vehicles for
the transport of construction materials and equipment increasing the risk of traffic-related
accidents and injuries to workers and local communities. The incidence of road accidents

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

involving project vehicles during construction should be minimized through a combination of


education and awareness training. Road re-routing shall also be implemented.
8.7 Community Complaint Control
MD will establish a community complaint control procedure that will handle all the process and
requirements in dealing with the complaint that will be raised by the community during the
construction period.
The following shall be the guidelines to be followed in handling community issues;
1) Consultation and information with the community regarding the effects of the
construction in the area.
2) Discussed the action to be taken by the Project management to lessen the impact of
the construction to the community.
3) Establishing an external environmental committee compose by the community leaders
and project management.
4) Collect and record in the Community Complain Log book all the complaint raised by
the community.
5) Discussed during project management meeting all the issues; immediate action shall
be done by project management for the items that can be handled easily or needing
immediate attention.
6) Head Office and external agencies shall be sought for critical Items that cannot be
handled easily by the project team.
7) All legal requirements shall be followed.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)


An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) shall be carried out and may be linked to the cost-
benefit analysis. The objective of the EIA is to ensure that environmental aspects are
addressed and potential problems are foreseen at the appropriate stage of project design and
construction. EIA shall be envisaged as an integral part of the planning process and initiated at
the project level from the start. Various guidelines on EIA are available. The following main
steps will be applied;
(1) Preliminary activities include the selection of a coordinator for the EIA and the collection
of background information. This should be undertaken as soon as a project has been
identified.
(2) Impact identification involves a broad analysis of the impacts of project activities with a
view to identifying those which are worthy of a detailed study.
(3) Baseline study entails the collection of detailed information and data on the condition of
the project area prior to the project's implementation.
(4) Impact evaluation should be done whenever possible in quantitative terms and should
include the working-out of potential mitigation measures. Impact evaluation cannot
proceed until project alternative has been defined, but should be completed early
enough to permit decisions to be made in a timely fashion.

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
ENVIROMENT MANAGMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P49

(5) Assessment involves combining environmental losses and gains with economic costs
and benefits to procedure a complete account to each project alternative. Cost-benefit
analysis should include environmental impacts where these can be evaluated in
monetary terms.
(6) Documentation is prepared to describe to the work done in the EIA. A working
document is prepared to provide clearly stated and argued recommendations for
immediate action. The working document should contain a list of project alternative with
