ADDITIONAL IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION MEASURES

3.6.1.1 Vehicle Maintenance Facilities

Service and minor repairs to equipment will be performed at maintenance depots by mechanics or field crews. Waste oil and solvents have the potential to contaminate soils and other environmentally sensitive areas. Waste oil and used solvents will be stored for recycling or disposal in accordance with RLC requirements and the Waste Management Plan.

An emergency spill response kit will be available in any hazardous materials storage area. As well, an emergency spill response kit will be located in areas of concentrated equipment use. The contents of these kits will include, as a minimum, a suitably drum with removable cover, absorbent / containment booms, absorbent pads, blankets and particulate, and disposal bags and ties.

The following protection procedures will minimize the potential environmental effects of maintenance of

equipment.

• The primary maintenance depot site will have access to oil-water separation.

• Washing of specialized equipment (i.e., paint trucks, engines, etc.) will only take place at the primary maintenance site that is properly equipped to contain and treat the contaminated wastewater.

• Oil, hydraulic fluids, coolants and other hazardous materials will be prevented from entering floor drains.

• Dirt and debris from pits and pit drains will be disposed of as per the Waste Management Plan. • All maintenance depots will maintain a supply of absorbent materials to pick up spills and

personnel will be familiar with the Spill Response Plan.

• Not more than 500 litres of waste oil will be stored in individual temporary storage containers. All containers, drums, pails, etc., will be closed and provided with a drip pan.

• Liquid levels and water levels in waste oil tanks will be dipped and levels recorded weekly. • Oil water separators will be dipped and levels recorded weekly or any time a spill is known or

suspected.

Vehicle maintenance facilities will be established during the Construction Phase in the Laydown Area. Guidelines on the provision of suitable vehicle maintenance facilities and the storage of waste oils and chemicals are discussed in CMP and SCP.

3.6.1.2 Fuelling Facilities

Refueling of vehicles will take place throughout the duration of the Construction Phase. Fuels will be stored in designated storage tanks and appropriate oil drums as per the CMP.

Fueling and lubrication of equipment will occur in an equipment staging area as much as reasonably practicable and will therefore minimize the possibility of contamination to soil or water.

Regular inspections will be made of hydraulic and fuel systems on machinery, and leaks (i.e., rupture of hydraulic hose, leaks from radiators or fuel tanks, etc.) will be repaired immediately. Servicing of equipment will not occur in or near any environmentally sensitive areas.

All refueling vehicles will either be of a double skinned tank or constructed with an integral bund of 110% capacity of the tank.

3.6.1.3 Fuel Storage Areas

Fuel and chemical storage tanks, refueling and maintenance points will be located at least 50m away from any watercourse. Such fuel and chemical storage areas will be designed and constructed in accordance with the Spill Management Procedure as discussed above. Basic spill cleaning kits will be provided at such storage areas.

3.6.1.4 Refueling Areas

Wherever refueling takes place, drip trays and absorbent pads will be placed beneath any potential spill point before refueling begins. Soiled absorbent pads will be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of accordingly.

When refueling equipment, operators will:

• Use leak free containers and reinforced rip and puncture proof hoses and nozzles;

• Be in attendance for the duration of the operation; and,

• Seal all storage container outlets except the outlet currently in use.

Basic oil spill clean up equipment (absorbents etc) will be provided all such locations. Spare drain pumps will be made available to ensure the protection of watercourses and sensitive areas at all times.

Fueling attendants will be trained in the requirements under the Spill Response Plan and Chemical Management Plan.

3.6.2 Air Emission Control

Air Emissions from Stationary Construction Plant

Stationary construction plant will typically include power generators and water heaters. Such plant established as part of the construction camps will be in accordance with SCENR and RLC standards for safety and emissions.

Emissions standards are summarized in Appendix 16.

Dust Emissions

Dust could enter environmentally sensitive areas and could affect people in immediate surrounding areas. Uncontrolled application of water will result in sediment-laden effects on water quality, aquatic ecosystems and environmentally sensitive areas.

JGC will employ dust reduction measures adequate to prevent erosion and local pollution to include: • Proper storage and handling of materials that will give rise to fugitive particles.

• Stabilizing of stockpile area.

• Control of dust generation during site preparation work with wetting methods and water trucks. Water trucks will be used to apply water on construction areas and unsealed thoroughfares for dust control. Dust control practices will be applied throughout all work areas as required.

Water will be applied by means of a pressure type distributor equipped with a spray system of nozzles that will ensure a uniform application of water. Minimal amounts of water required to control dust will be applied such that potential for surface runoff of sediment is minimized.

Waste oil, or other petroleum products, will not be used for dust control under any circumstances.

3.6.3 Noise Control Boundaries

The following noise limitations indicated in Appendix 16 apply to the limit of the industrial facility.

Every endeavor will be made to limit the sound level at these boundaries to a level that is within the permissible limits:

Industrial Areas (construction areas) - 75 dBA

Small Business and Commercial Areas (service and support areas: i.e., within RLC, Al Khor, etc) - 65 dBA

Residential (i.e., camp) - 50 dBA

Noise Preventative Measures

If any limit is exceeded, or if there is a significant risk of exceeding such limits at the boundaries of the nearest facility, noise screening will be provided.

Noise screening will consist of:

• Earth mounds such as spoils between the affected construction activity and the nearest facility. • Solid fencing of a height to screen line of sight between the nearest facility and the affected

construction activity. Such fencing will be placed close to the site or close to the facility, whichever offers the most effective screen

Only genuine reasons for complaint will be dealt with by providing such noise screening.

Construction Noise Monitoring

Noise measurements will be taken from time to time on any noisy activity, vehicles and construction plants. If any of such activities or construction plants are found to have exceeded the limit, all affected site personnel will wear ear defenders as a short-term measure.

3.6.4 Protection of Archaeological Resources

In the event of the discovery of an archaeological artifact or site, the following procedures will apply: • All heritage resources, including archaeological objects and sites of archaeological or historical

interest or significance, discovered on the site will be deemed to be the property of the State of Qatar (coordinated through RLC), and must not be disturbed. All reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent employees or other persons from removing any artifacts or damaging sites. • All work will cease in the immediate area of the discovery until such time as RLC advises those

involved as to the disposition of the discovery and authorizes a resumption of the work. Archaeological materials encountered will be reported to RLC along with the following information: • Nature of activity resulting in the discovery;

• Nature of the material discovered; • The precise location of the find; and,

• Names of persons witnessing the discovery.
