This plan has been developed to ensure adequate response to the potential environmental impacts of the wastes produced by the operations. This plan is designed to achieve and maintain environmentally sound practices for sanitation and for conservation of the environment. To achieve these goals, JUCHI NIG LTD will emphasize the following: - Ensure SPDC standards are implemented. - Optimize the use and reuse of materials. - Analyse the environmental implications of all works activities. - Collect and dispose of waste promptly - Good housekeeping standards - Monitoring and inspection of all activities to ensure environmental compliance. - Good record keeping - Effective training 2.0 WASTE ANALYSIS 2.1 Types of Waste A waste material, for the purposes of this section, is a non-gaseous material with no further primary use, which requires disposal. Hazardous Wastes 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. Recycled hazardous materials and reused hazardous materials are not hazardous wastes because, by definition, they are not waste materials. Hazardous Wastes exhibit one or more of the following characteristics. - Explosive - Flammable - Spontaneous Combustion Potential - Oxidizing Potential - Toxic - Corrosive Non-Hazardous Wastes Non-hazardous-wastes are all wastes that are not hazardous. This includes garbage, office wastes, rags etc. 2.2 Waste Identification and Categorization The following provides a brief description of the waste types expected as a part of this Inspection and the waste categorization and selected disposal option for each waste. Oily Waste Oily waste shall be collected in properly marked container and disposed by appropriately. Wood Waste, and Packaging Materials This category includes small scrap wood, plywood and wood shavings, cartons, planks, thick cardboard, pallets and waste materials generated during the inspection. These materials will be placed in appropriate containers and disposed properly. Plastics Plastic waste includes - polyethylene bags, plastic scraps, plastic bottles, etc. This waste material will be collected in a container painted BROWN and transported for disposal properly. Domestic Waste This consists of materials such as garbage, ashes, litter, grass, wastepaper and spoiled or leftover foodstuffs. This waste shall be collected in designated and labelled closed containers painted GREEN. Refuse will be collected and disposed of promptly, in order not to attract predators and scavengers. All components of this domestic waste shall be sorted at source and the recyclable, non-biodegradable items shall be separated. Hazardous materials and wastes shall not be disposed of with this waste. Recycling and/or reuse may minimize the volume of wastes to be disposed of. All refuse wastes not recycled or reused, including non-burnable wastes, shall be sent to a landfill approved by the Nigerian Regulatory organization. Used Solvents The volume of solvent used will be minimised, as far as possible, by reusing solvents or returning them to the supplier. Note: Solvents will not be drained onto the ground or buried. Solvent spills to the ground are to be remediated. Drums, Barrels, and Containers Drums, barrels and containers may be disposed of by returning them to the vendor for recycling, or by crushing them. Other Wastes All other wastes shall be disposed of accordingly. 3.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND DISPOSAL OPTIONS All the wastes generated during the operations, ranging from the most inert to the most toxic shall be collected and managed in accordance with this plan. 3.1 Waste Inventory The HSE officer 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 JUCHI NIG LTD management and SPDC on a monthly basis or as demanded. JUCHI NIG LTD EHS staff will use the waste inventory each day to record the types and quantities of waste generated. Similarly, the JUCHI NIG LTD will keep a log of all wastes that is disposed. 3.2 Waste Segregation Given the nature of the waste expected during this operations, JUCHI NIG LTD 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 writing in English) bins for storing the waste as follows: - Red: hazardous wastes - Green: refuse - Brown: plastics - Blue: glass Placing sufficient bins for each type of waste at each waste collection point, depending on the variety and quantity of the wastes expected from each location. Proper storage of the segregated waste. Effective and timely delivery of the segregated bins to the waste disposal points. 3.3 Waste Collection and Storage All waste generated on site will be removed promptly to the waste depot as designated by SPDC. Sufficient numbers of coloured and labelled 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 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. 3.4 Waste Transportation System Solid wastes will be collected in specially marked containers, as previously identified. Solid wastes will be collected regularly and transported to the appropriate disposal site. Waste Disposal Options All disposal options will be carried out by JUCHI NIG LTD 4.0 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. The HSE officer will supervise the assessment, monitoring and handling of the waste generated during the inspection. JUCHI NIG LTD 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. 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING Environmental concerns, including waste management, will be a part of the orientation training that every employee will undergo. 6.0 INSPECTIONS AND REPORTING JUCHI NIG LTD HSE staff will conduct inspections of the waste producing sites and the waste storage and report the findings.
