GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 478

PURSUANT to regulation 21 of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact Assessment Stuay Report for the above proposed project. The Proponent, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperative Development in KisiiCounty Governmentis proposing to construct a sugar factory that will have a milling plant, spirit distillery for local and international market as well generation of electricity for both the factory use and sale to the national grid. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Impact Proposed Mitigation measure Objective • To minimize solid waste, generation ensuring efficient solid waste management Increased solid waste • Use of an integrated solid waste generation management system i.e. through a hierarchy of options like: Source reduction, Recycling, Reuse, and Land filing. • Use of durable, long-lasting materials to reduce, the amount of construction waste generated Overtime. • Use construction materials containing recycled content where possible and in - accordance with accepted standards. • Reuse packaging material such as cartons, cement bags, empty metal and plastic containers. • Dispose waste more responsibly by dumping at designated dumping sites or landfills only. • Waste collection bins to be provided at designated points on site. • Provide facilities for proper handling and storage of construction materials. Objective ' , To minimize impacts of dust and exhaust emissions Dust emission • Avoid excavation works in extremely dry weathers • Personal protective equipment to be worn • Post signs that limit vehicles speed Onto unpaved roads and over disturbed soils. • Cover stockpiles of sand, soil and similar materials or surround them with wind breaks. • - Ensure strict enforcement of on-site speed limit regulations. • Sprinkle water on access routes when necessary to reduce dust generation by construction vehicles. Exhaust emission • Vehicle idling time shall be minimized • Sensitize truck drivers to avoid unnecessary racing of vehicle engines at loading/offloading points and parking areas. •. Construction equipment to - be maintained properly tuned and maintained as per the manufacturers specification. • The engine size of the construction 10th June, 2016 equipment shall be, the minimum practical size. • Construction equipment operating simultaneously to be minimized through efficient management practices. Objective • To minimize impacts of . noise and vibration Noise and vibration • Prescribe noise reduction measures if appropriate e.9 restricted working hours, transport hours and noise buffering. • Consult with the surrounding community on the permissible noise levels and best working hours. • The noisy construction works will be planned to be during the day. • Use best available technology. • Sensitize construction vehicle drivers and machinery operators to switch off engines of vehicles or machinery not being used. • Ensure that construction machinery is kept in good condition to reduce noise. generation. Objective • To minimize of energy consumption Increase energy • Monitor energy use during construction consumption and set targets for reduction of energy use. • Ensure electrical equipment and appliances are switched off when not being used. • Ensure planning of transportation of materials to ensure that fossil fuels (diesel, petrol) are not consumed in excessive amounts. • Install energy saving fluorescent tubes and bulbs at all lighting points instead of bulbs which consume higher electric energy. Objective • To minimize water consumption and ensure efficient water use Increase water demand • Ensure that water is sourced from a sustainable source and from licensed water vendors. • Recycling waste water and using if for other purposes. • Harvesting rain water during rainy seasons. Objectives • To minimize incidences and accidents Increased incidences and Registration of all workplaces by the accidents Director, Directorate of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHSS). • Comply with all standards and legally required health and safety regulations as set out by the occupational Safety and Health Act (Part XI: Section 96) as pertains to construction activities. • Demarcate all woks which may pose a employee and other site workers. * Erect warning signs • Place portable fire extinguishers at suitable locations. • Training all staff on fir safety policy and procedures • Allocate a fire assembly point and mark • all fire exits within the site. Objective • To minimize impacts of hazardous waste Hazardous waste • Incorporate all potential contaminants in the construction environmental management plan (CEMP). • Maintain vehicles and machinery routinely inspected to minimize the risk of fuel/oil leaks. • All fuels, chemical and hazardous liquids would be stored away from drainage lines, within an impervious banded area. • Refuel construction plant, vehicles and equipment at off-site, or in a designated • refueling area Objective • To minimize on community Community impacts • Initiate good public relation between the proponent, contractor and the community. • Erect and maintain information boards in the position, quantity, design and dimensions of the proposed sugar factory. • Keep "Complaints Register" on Site.
