Waste Management Plan

Task 1 – Desktop Review

PetroRisk will conduct a desktop review of the relevant project documentations to establish understanding of the scope of the construction activities and identify their sources of waste generation.

This task will also enable PetroRisk to understand the following:

• Roles and responsibilities
• WMP related matters profile and visibility
• WMP training and awareness (if any)
• Lines of Communication

PetroRisk will also undertake a thorough regulatory review and an assessment of the environment management system (EMS) as part of the desktop review.

A classification of the waste will be undertaken during this stage as well as a general description of the waste streams.

Task 2 – Waste Inventory

PetroRisk will undertake a comprehensive waste inventory for the construction and operational phase of the project.

The waste inventory will developed in an Excel format and will be updated regularly throughout the life of the project.

Task 3 – Assessment of Operation Processes

PetroRisk will conduct a review of the current and planned operations of the project in order to identify means of reducing waste at source. This review will include all proposed operations and logistic and procurement practices.

Task 4 – Waste Management Strategy

PetroRisk will develop a waste management strategy for the project is underpinned by the following sound environmental management principles:

• Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) – Waste management options would be chosen based on their environmental sustainability
• Best Available Technique Not Entailing Excessive Cost (BATNEEC)
• Proximity Principle – As far as is reasonably practicable, waste would be handled and disposed within the vicinity where it is generated to reduce risks involved in waste transportation
• Precautionary Principle – All waste generated by Company would be handled, treated, temporally stored and eventually disposed with due consideration for environmental protection
• Polluter Pays Principle – Company take responsibility for managing any waste generated by its operations, products and services

The overall approach to waste management strategy will be to apply the principles of the ‘waste hierarchy’.  This refers to the ‘3Rs’ of reduce, reuse and recycle, which classify waste management strategies according to their desirability.  The overall aim of this waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste.

Whilst the overall approach would be to prevent or minimise waste, ultimately the project construction programme will lead to the generation of certain waste streams. COMPANY may be constrained on options for Third Party reuse or recycling of wastes within the area, based on what facilities are available at the time of construction and operations.

Task 5 – Waste Management Plan

PetroRisk will develop a WMP for the project bearing in mind that the priority for Company shall be the prevention/ minimisation of wastes at all times.  Secondary to this, Company shall temporarily store, handle, label, and segregate wastes types as described in this framework WMP to facilitate reuse/ recycling of wastes as far as practicable by Third Parties.

Company WMP will also keep abreast of existing and emerging opportunities for re-use or recycling of wastes and seek to minimise waste disposal in landfills, so long as the selected reuse/ recycling approach conforms to the legal requirements within the country.

The WMP will present the following:

• Roles and Responsibilities
• A summary of the legal requirements
• Waste Management Principles
• Waste inventory and classification
• Waste segregation
• Waste Reduction
• Waste handling and temporary storage
• Waste Transport
• Waste Training
• Waste management procedure monitoring

Deliverables

The following reports shall be delivered:

• Waste Inventory
• Waste Management Strategy
• Waste Management Plan
