GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 11394

PURSUANT to section 59 of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, 1999, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project. The proponent, Lido Beach Conference Inn Limited, proposes to construct a fifteen storey (Basement, ground plus 15 floors) conference and serviced hotel apartments consisting of (multipurpose halls and 5 meeting rooms on the 1st floor, 8 office rooms on the 2nd floor, typical 3rd -12th floor with 18 hotel room rooms on the 13th floor and two and three-bedroom duplex units on the 14th and 15th floor)parking, 3 bio-digesters, 2 septic tanks, swimming pool, restuarants, electrical infrastructure, associated amenities and facilities on plot No. 1551/1/MN, Milele Area, Malindi Road, Mombasa County. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Impacts Mitigation Measures Emergencies • Design suitable documented emergency preparedness and evacuation procedures to be used during any emergency. • Such procedures must be tested at regular intervals. • Ensure that adequate provisions are in place to immediately stop any operations where there in an imminent and serious danger to health and safety and to evacuate workers. • Ensure that the most current emergency telephone numbers posters are prominently and strategically displayed within the construction site. • Provide measures to deal with emergencies and accidents including adequate first aid arrangements. Destruction of flora and fauna • Protect as possible indigenous trees and other surrounding vegetation. • Minimize site clearance to only areas needed for excavations. • Plant trees and landscape appropriately. 5616 5616 Impacts Mitigation Measures Soil degradation • Adherence to existing laws and regulations including L.N 121: Environment Management and Coordination (Waste Management) Regulations, 2006. • Drainage system to be maintained • Areas dedicated for hazardous material storage shall provide spill containment and facilitate clean up through measures such as dedicated spill response equipment. • In case of soil pollution, subsurface investigations should be conducted which should involve the collection of subsurface soil and groundwater samples for laboratory analysis. Safety & health incidents and accidents) • Comply with Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2007. • Adherence to Fire Safety and Reduction Rules L.N.59. • Implement emergency, preparedness and response plan. • Periodic fire drills shall be undertaken. • Provision of firefighting equipment in strategic and well labelled areas. • Train workers on safe work practices, and provide appropriate and adequate PPE. • Implement access control to high-risk areas to authorized personnel only. • Provide a high-performance fire resistance wall. • The facility to be secured and signs to be posted which include hazard warning, access restrictions and under whose authority the access is restricted will be posted. • Engage contractors with a well- developed EHS management system. • Adhere to Permit to Work System. Waste generation • Minimize waste generation, segregate general and hazardous waste. • Proper management of storm water. • To use sewer system or septic tank system to manage the sanitary waste. • Install Oil Water Separator. • Implementing a system for the proper metering and measurement of water usage. • The provision of adequate access to toilet and bathroom facilities that meet both numerical standards (to prevent workers from using the neighbours’) and treatment standards. • The separation of sewage and grey water streams to reduce sewage effluent volumes. • The employment of on-site treatment of wastewater. Traffic and pedestrian safety • Creating and implementing awareness programs, use visible safety advice, barriers, traffic diversions and warnings signages. Impacts Mitigation Measures • Developing and implementing traffic management plan. • Abnormal loads will be timed to avoid times when traffic volumes are likely to be high. • The Site Engineer and Contractor should choose traffic routes to reduce the impact to other road users. • Introduce segregated pedestrian walkways, speed limits, minimize reversing vehicles. • Clearly designate loading/off-loading areas. Increase energy demand • Ensure that all lighting system are switched off when not in use. • Design the office infrastructure to maximize the use of natural light. • Install metering system for monitoring for electricity consumption. • Carry out facility energy audit. Air quality • Adherence to existing laws and regulations including L.N 34: Environment Management and Coordination (Air Quality) Regulations, 2014. • Construction site and transportation routes to be water sprayed on dry and windy days. • Haulage trucks to be covered. • Use of well-maintained equipment to minimize the emissions during construction. • Quarterly Monitoring of air/ambient emission’s for conformity. • Dust generation on-site should be controlled through the following activities: • The imposition of speed limits for vehicular movement on dust sources. • The enclosing of raw material dumping and stockpiling areas to contain generated dust. • The controlling of wind movement of exposed materials through the use of frequent wetting or the use of dust stabilization products. • Preventing fugitive dust from exiting the construction site through the use of containment barriers at the site’s periphery. This mitigation would work in tandem with noise mitigation measures to prevent sound releases into the external environment. • Controlling fugitive dust generation from sources external to the construction site, such as at Concrete Batching plants and from trucks transporting raw materials to the site – using the containment methods. Noise pollution • Comply with the provision of the Environmental Management and Co- ordination (Noise and Excessive Vibration Pollution Control) Regulations, 2009. 15th August, 2025 THE KENYA GAZETTE Impacts Mitigation Measures • Provide contacts (telephone number, email, etc.) to handle complaints. • The use of hearing protection gear by workers when exposed to noise levels above 85 dB (A) and use of signages in high noise areas. • Use of well-maintained machineries with minimal noise emissions. • The use of the lowest noise-emitting equipment appropriate for the given task should be opted for, since this will result in less noise generated on-site. • Time limits should be imposed to limit the periods during which construction noises can be generated. The following times are proposed: - Mondays to Fridays 0800hrs to 17hrs. Saturdays 0800hrs to 1300hrs. Sundays and Holidays – no noisy activities are to be permitted. • Physical noise barriers should be considered for the property. Impact on water quality • Adherence to existing laws and regulations including L.N 121: Environment Management and Coordination (Waste Management) Regulations, 2006. • Provide adequate sanitary waste disposal facilities. • Controlling and reducing at source the production of wastes and hazardous waste. Spillages and leakages • The source of the spill/leak should be isolated and contained appropriately. • The contractor should notify the relevant authorities of any spills or leakages. • Avail leak and spill containment equipment and material. Social impact • Constant review of the Grievance Redress Mechanism to address complaints and issues from community and other stakeholders.
