GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 6021

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 Study Report for the above proposed project. The proponent, Dry Docks Logistics Limited, is proposing to install a 1100 metres cubic (LPG) storage tank, pipe works (LPG) jetty, paint works, weighbridge installation, fire hydrant station, an office and construction of a filling plant on plot on L.R. number Mombasa/Block XLVII/173, Comarco Supply Base, Ganjoni, Mombasa County with the main purpose of providing more (LPG) stock for sale. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures Increased storm water, • Surface run-off and roof water shall be runoff and soil erosion harvested and stored for reuse. •A storm water management plan that minimizes impervious area infiltration by use of recharge areas and use of detention and/or retention with graduated outlet control structure will be designed. Increased solid waste • Use of an integrated Solid Waste generation Management system i.e. through a hierarchy of options: 1. Source reduction 2. Recycling 3. Composting and reuse 4. Combustion 5. Sanitary land filling. •Through accurate estimation of the sizes and quantities of materials required, order materials in the sizes and quantities they will be needed, rather than cutting them to size, or having large quantities of residual materials. 23rd June, 2017 •Use of durable, long-lasting materials that will not need to be replaced as often, thereby reducing the amount of construction waste generated over time. •Provide facilities for proper handling and storage of construction materials to reduce the amount of waste Caused by damage or exposure to the elements. •Strict Adherence to Waste Management Regulations, 2006. Dust and exhaust • Ensure strict enforcement of on-site emission speed limit regulations. •Avoid excavation works in extremely dry weathers. •Sprinkle water on graded access routes when necessary to reduce dust generation by construction vehicles. •Personal Protective equipment to be worn. •Vehicle idling time shall be minimized •Alternatively fueled construction equipment shall be used where feasible equipment shall be properly tuned and maintained. •construction materials on site to be covered to prevent to be blown off by wind. •Strict adherence to Air Quality Regulations, 2014. Noise pollution • Sensitize construction vehicle drivers and machinery operators to switch off engines of vehicles or machinery not being used. •Sensitize construction drivers to avoid gunning of vehicle engines or unnecessary hooting especially when passing through sensitive areas such as churches, mosques, residential areas and schools. •Ensure that all generators and heavy duty equipment are insulated or placed in enclosures to minimize ambient noise levels. •Adherence to Noise and Excessive Vibration Pollution (Control) Regulations, 2009. Increased energy • Ensure electrical equipment, appliances consumption and lights are switched off when not being used. •Install energy saving fluorescent tubes at all lighting points instead of bulbs which consume higher electric energy. High water demand • Promptly detect and repair of water pipe and tank leaks. •Ensure taps are not running when not in use. •Install a discharge meter at water outlets to determine and monitor total water usage. •proper recycling of water from other uses for sprinkling dusty pavements. Occupational health and • Ensure the general safety and security at safety all times by providing day and night security guards and adequate lighting within and around the premises. •Construction of a perimeter wall around the project area. •Suitable overalls, safety footwear, dust masks, gas masks, respirators, gloves, ear protection equipment etc. should be made available and construction personnel must be trained to use the equipment •Well stocked first aid box which is easily available and accessible should be provided within the premises. •Regular inspection and servicing of the equipment must be undertaken by a reputable service provider and records of such inspections maintained. •Fire escape routes and assembly point to be marked. •Comply with the provigions; Qf QSRA, 2007. 11,, The full report of the proposed project is, available for inspection' during working hours at: (a)Director-General, NEMA, Popo Road, off Mombasa Road, P.O.
