Final- Rievised Chapter 9

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

AND MONITORING (Revised by EGCB as an addendum according to the requirement of

Senior Environmental Specialist, World Bank)

9.1 SCOPE OF EMP

EMP encompasses the obligation of contractors and operators for good industrial activities, the

EMP will include the following measures:

(a) the measures will be taken during both construction and operation phases of the

project to eliminate or offset adverse environmental impacts, or reduce them to

acceptable levels, which is delineated in bid documents of the 2x 150 MW peaking power

plant project;

(b) a monitoring plan is proposed, and will be finalized in association with contractor to

assess the effectiveness of the management I mitigation m.easures.

(c) the contractor will prepare necessary maps to show the locations for environmental

monitoring points.

(d) currently the EGCB does not have any corporate environmental guidelines and

therefore, the contractors will follow their own corporate guidelines1 rules, WB and

DOE'S environmental guidelines and international guidelines (where applicable:).

Environmental management and monitoring activities for the proposed power plant project will

be accomplished in to two separate phases (a) construction and (b) operation phase. The monthly

environmental monitoring report will be submitted to the World Bank and DOE accordingly.

9.2 Environmental Management Unit (EMU) of EGCB

Currently the EGGB has one Manager Environment [(Environment Management Specialist)

(EMS)] at the corporate office, he is supervising the environmental monitoring activities under

taken by BHEL India, for demolishing and construction of ADB (2x120 MW Peaking Power

Plant, Siddhirganj, Narayangonj) financed power plant, which is now in progress. The

Siddhirganj 210 MW power plant has one water treatment facility along with infrastructure and

some equipment.

The EGCB management will endow this facility under EMU to under take the necessary

environmental monitoring for all three power plants within Siddhriganj Power plant premises.

(210MW, 2x120 MW and proposed WB financed 2x150 MW) during the operation phase of

Siddhirganj 2x120 MW Peaking Power Plant project (financed by Asian Development Bank) the

environmental monitoring parameters will be accomplished in house, but at this moment the

environmental monitoring equipments are not in place. The comparative monthly environmental

monitoring cost (if out sourced) and the current cost for necessary equipment1 monitoring

machines are summarized in table 9.7 to take the logical decision within this stipulated time line.

An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) will be constructed during the construction of Asian

Development Bank (ADB) financed 2 ~ 1 2 0 M W Peaking Power Plant during 2008. It may be

mentioned that the whole Siddhirganj Power Plant complex has been taken over by EGCB Ltd.

therefore, the ADB financed ETP will be used for the treatment of effluent generated from other

existing and proposed power plants within this premises.

9.3 WORK PLANS AND SCHEDULES

9.31 Construction Phase

The environmental management program is an integrated part of the project planning and

execution. It will evolve dynamically as project implementation proceeds, dealing flexibly with

environmental impacts, both predicted and unpredicted.

The turnkey contractor1 EPC contractor will take over all responsibility for implementation of

environmental monitoring during construction phase which will be clearly elucidated in bid

documents. The Project Director (PD) and Environment Manager (Environment Management

Specialist) EGCB for this specific project will supervise the implementation of the specified

environmental monitoring parameters through EGCB's owner's engineers. The Manager

Environment of the EGCB corporate office with required man power, expertise and find will

ensure proper environmental monitoring and also occupation health and safety as specified in this

chapter under section 9.5. Appropriate measures will be taken to mitigate any adverse impacts

and to enhance beneficial impacts, resulting from the project activities. Manager environment will

report to Director (Technical) and Project Director (PD) about the contractual obligation and

other national and international regulations (where applicable) regarding the environmental issues

need to be fulfilled by the contractor. It may be mentioned that, contractor will also follow their

corporate Health Safety and Environment (HSE) policies, incase of any non-addressed issues in

their HSE policy, only in that case the World Bank EHS policy will be followed, which are

available on the IFC website.

The environmental management during the construction phase will be focused on the following

aspects:

(a) Creationlgeneration and disposal of sewage, solid waste and construction waste

(b) Increased traffic

(c) Creationlgeneration of dust (particulate matter)

(d) Creationlgeneration of noise

(e) Oil spillage from construction equipment and vehicle

For better environmental management the local workforce may be employed during construction

work to avoid un-necessary creation of temporary wastes from construction workers' camp.

Table- 9.1 summarizes the potentially significant environmental impacts during construction

phase, the measures will be taken for elimination of adverse impacts and enhance positive

impacts. The monitoring plan and monitoring schedule has been briefly discussed in this chapter.

Implementation Schedule In accordance to the provision of the Contract document, the Contractor shall prepare an

"Implementation Schedule" for the measures to be carried out as part of the environmental

management and monitoring. Table 9.2 shows a tentative plan for environmental reporting.

9.3.2 Operation Phase

The environmental management during the operational phase the O&M contractor will take care

of the environmental issues and their management and EGCB EMU will supervise: the whole

process. After the expiry of the O&M contractor's tenure, the EGCB will be solely responsible for

all sorts of Environmental Monitoring and other associated issues like occupation health and

safety. The important issues are being addressed in the following way:

(a) Emission from the power plant

(b) Generation of noise

(c) Generation of industrial waste at the plant (Solid and Liquid)

(d) Generation of domestic waste (Sewage and kitchen waste)

The following table (Table 9.1& 9.2) summarizes the potentially significant environmental

impacts during operation phase, the measures need to eliminate or offset adverse impacts and

enhance positive impacts and their reporting. The monitoring plan and monitoring parameters

schedule has been presented in this chapter.

9.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

The turnkey contractor will prepare a details plan about the environmental parameters and

protocol for taking the environmental monitoring data in consultation with EMS, EGCH along

with owner's engineer.

9.4.1 Monitoring Parameters

The typical environmental monitoring parameters of power plant are briefly described iin this section.

9.4.2 Construction Phase:

Ambient air quality monitoring: Measurement of air quality parameters e.g., NOx, CO, PMlo,

PM2.5 (if required) and temperature will be carried out during the construction period in

accordance with the monitoring plan presented in the table- 9.5. Measurement will be carried out

at locations which are sensitive with respect to air quality, near the school and residence and other

vulnerable locations. The number of locations for monitoring shall be agreed by the EMS, EGCB.

One stationary monitoring station will be installed at a strategically viable location within the

Siddhirganj premises where the greatest impact of the power plants can be expected. This station

will continuously monitor the environmental parameters for all three power plants within this

premises.

Emission: In general at least two diesel cranes, two diesel generators, one forklift, four general

transport and miscellaneous tractor-trailers will be used on site (more specified number will be

provided during preparation of contract documents of EPC contractor). The emission from these

vehicles and equipments to atmosphere would be properly maintained to ensure that their

emissions will be kept within WB and DOE standard.

Drinking water quality monitoring: Drinking water quality will be monitored during the

construction phase if necessary. During construction phase excess water will not bt: produced,

and waste water will not be drained in to the natural stream for this particular project.

Soil quality monitoring: Representative type of agricultural sample will be monitorecl seasonally

around the impact zone; this soil sample will be collected and sent to Soil Resources

Development Institute (SRDI), Dhaka. The parameters of analyzed according to their set

guidelines.

Noise level monitoring:

During construction, diesel generators, heavy construction equipments and vehicles will create

higher noise level affecting human health and the wildlife within the close vicinity of the project

area. The noise level drops along the distance, and barriers so the temporary noise barrier and

indigenous tree plantation will be considering the availability of the plantation area to protect the

school children from the noise. The locations for monitoring of noise level shall be agreed by the

EMS, as stated earlier. Based on regular monitoring the design 1 location etc of the temporary

barrier would be altered if necessary.

Therefore, comprehensive noise monitoring during different stages of construction will be

accomplished regularly and the mitigation measures will be taken. The noise level at the

construction site would be kept within DoE's permissible limit. The cost of these barriers will be

estimated during EPC contract. The cost of this mitigation of noise will be borne by the EPC

contractor.

Waste Management: Records of generated process wastes if any will be recycled and will be

kept separately according to the WB and DoE's guideline. Chain of custody for hazardous waste

and for process non-hazardous waste will be maintained. The schematic flow chart is shown

below. This flow chart will also be used during the operation phase with few changes when ever

necessary.

The present project activities will involve establishment of camps, transport, site development

and construction and operation of power plant. For each activity, various types and quantity of

wastes will be generated. The Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor and

owners engineer will prepare a comprehensive list of waste types, sources and plans to manage all

of these wastes in an environmentally friendly manner. The major sources are identified as:

o Camp waste

o Construction & operation waste, and

o Emission

The EPC contractors will implement wastes segregation strategy as a first step of their waste

management program where the hazardous and non-hazardous materials will be separated out

following the waste management flow diagram as shown in Figure 1. The non-hazardous

materials will then be further sorted out into bio-degradable and non-biodegradable groups.

Among the bio-degradable materials, EPC contractor and EGCB will recycle the recyclable

materials and will send the compostables in municipal designated site. In Dhaka few NGOs

(Waste Concern) are preparing bio-fertilizers so those NGOs may be informed for these activities

(Figure 1). Preparation of bio-fertilizer is not any part of this project. But the segregation process

is essential in this project.

Figure. 1 Waste Management flow diagram for the EPC contractor to be followed up to segregation.

Camp Waste Management

The EPC contractor will prepare a list of all identified source and type of wastes that would be generated in their campsite (Table 9.3) and is committed to minimize waste generation as much as possible. Siddhirganj is well communicated area where municipal waste disposal facilities is available therefore, the EPC contractor will facilitate the corporation authority to collect, manage, treat and dispose off the wastes on its own initiative.

Table- 9.3 Types and sources of domestic wastes

The EPC contractor will setup selective waste collection facilities at the site. Special areas for

short-term waste storage will be designated to facilitate the program. The EPC is committed to

comply with the applicable environmental and sanitary norms and have been equipped in due

manner at the proposed facilities, including arrangement for disposal of hazardous wastes (if any)

and the environmental impact of waste generated at the Company's facilities will be minimized.

Type of wastes

Drainage

Emission

Domestic sewage

Domestic refuse

Kitchen waste

Washroom

The EPC contractor will follow regulations and guidelines for wastewater discharges into

surrounding waterways. Liquid wastes that could damage the environment will never be released

or allowed to drain directly into a watercourse. The campsite is provided with septic tank with

closed sewage systems.

Construction and operation Waste Management

Main components

Bathing water, Rainwater

Construction equipments, vehicles, cranes etc.

Biodegradable organic matter

Garbage, packing materials, paper, batteries, paper bags, cartoon, plastic, plastic bottles, cans, wrappers, organic waste, waste, glass bottles etc. Waste vegetable, wastes during processing of vegetables, waste food, soap and detergent, fishes scales, meat's scales and wastes etc produced in kitchen

Bathing and water

The principal industrial wastes arising from construction and operation are domestic waste, some

solid and liquid wastes filter cartridges, various discarded chemical products, empty drums, pipe

Potential constituents of the released wastes Trace amount of oil and grease, soap

Emission of smokes, CO, C02 etc.

Semi-solids, used detergent, coliform bacteria

Plastic, organic waste, batteries, glasses

Protein, bio-degradable organic matters

Soap, detergent, trace amount of oil and grease

dope buckets, household types trash, discarded chemicals, wood pallets, lime, cement and mud

sacks. A list of typical wastes types and sources are shown in table 9.3 & 9.4.

The produced effluent will be treated in the ETP as described in section 9.2 therefore, no further

installation of ETP will be required for WE3 financed 2x 150 MW peaking power plant. 21OMW

and WB financed 2x 150 MW power plants' effluent will channeled up to ADB financed 2x 120

MW power plant.

9.4.3 Hazardous Material Handling and Storage

During construction of the plant, commercially available chemicals (paints, thinners etc) will be

used and stored in the construction area. Hence small amount of unused or spent chemicals (used

paints, motor oils) will be generated. Hazardous wastes likely to be generated during routine

project operations include oily water, spent catalyst, lubricants and cleaning solvents. Operation

and maintenance of the plant also generates some hazardous wastes. These include: waste oil,

spent solvents, batteries, fluorescent light tubes, lubricating oils etc.

The project will also involve the construction and operation of gas pipe line and handling of large

amount of natural gas. Natural gas poses some risk of both fire and explosion. Used lead acid

batteries contain lead, sulfuric acid and several kinds of plastics which are hazardous to human

health. Therefore the ideal place to store used lead acid batteries is inside an acid resistant sealed

container to minimize the risk of an accidental spillage.

The following set of typical storage guidelines will be adopted:

the storage place will be protected from rain and storm water, this place will also be

provided with a good shed.

the storage place will be protected from any sources of heat hazards

the storage place will have a ground cover

the storage place will have an exhaust ventilation system in order to avoid gas

accumulation

the storage place will have a restricted access and be identified as a hazardalus material

storing place

any other lead materials which may eventually arise, such as plumbing, should be

conveniently packaged and stored in accordance with its characteristics

The store premises will be provided with fire protection and fire fighting equipment. These

equipments will be installed, tested and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's

guidelines. The employer will ensure that a procedure for dealing with emergencies is in place,

implemented, maintained and communicated to persons on the premises who may be affected by

or respond to an emergency.

Ignition sources in hazardous areas will not be allowed. The facility staff will be trained and

equipped with personal protective gear such as rubber gloves, boots, hard hats, apron or splash

suit and a face shield with safety glasses or goggles, as per corporate safety guidelines.

Toxic chemicals will be handled by using protective gear. Volatile toxic chemicals will be

handled in a well ventilated place. Sufficient and suitable lighting will be ensured.

Safe access within and to and from the premises will be ensured. Unauthorized access and

activity on the premises will be prevented. These measures will reduce the chances of accidents

and facilities a safe environment for the workers, the staff and the plant.

Table 9.4 Wastes from construction and operation of power plants

The EPC contractor will reduce the quantity and toxicity during construction and operation of

power plant in the first place thus the impact and cost of environmentally acceptable disposal will

be reduced. EPC and EGCB's proposed approaches are:

o Recycle of recyclable materials

o Proper disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous solid and liquids;

o Minimization of water use in kitchen and worker camp;

o Monitoring and maintaining chain of custody for the disposal wastes and construction

debris;

o Monthly environmental reporting to the concern authorities;

o Involvement of DOE regarding any disposal of wastes, which are not specified in the

environmental guidelines (ECR 1997)

9.4.4 Operational Plzase:

Meteorological measurements: Seasonal meteorological monitoring data will be collected from

the Meteorological office of Agargaon, Dhaka to monitor the wind direction and speed,

temperature, humidity and precipitation as and when is required.

Atmospheric emissions monitoring: One diesel crane, one fork lift, several transport and

miscellaneous equipments will be used on site. The emission from these vehicles to atmosphere

would be negligible. The continuous emission of CO, SO2, NO,, PMlo, oxygen content and

temperature of flue gases will be carried out around the plant sites and up to impact zone.

The DOE may be requested to monitor the illegal emission of gases and dust from the surrounding

areas of the proposed power plant which will facilitate to operate this plant smoothly.

Ambient air quality monitoring: Monthly monitoring of the following air quality indicators

e.g., NOx, SO2, PMlo, PM2,5 (if required) and temperature will be monitored. One monitoring

station will be installed at a strategically viable location within the Siddhirganj Power Plant

premises. This station will be used as continuous monitoring station for ambient air quiality.

Drinking water quality monitoring: Drinking water quality will be monitored during the

operation phase. During operation phase excess water will not be produced, and waste water will

not be drained in to the natural stream for this particular project.

River water monitoring: Although the proposed plant is not expected to be a contrilbutor to the

deterioration of water quality of the Sitalakhya River, a water quality monitoring program during

the dry periods may be conducted for other projects (210MW combined cycle power plant).

Water temperature and dissolved oxygen along with BOD5, COD, Oil, Grease and heavy metals

during March - May and October - December may be tested as and when is required.

Noise level monitoring: Indoor noise levels in the generator and turbine facilities along with the

outdoor noise at the school premises and near the air condenser system will be monitored

regularly. The noise level drops along the distance, and barriers therefore the convenient

temporary noise barrier and indigenous tree plantation will be taken place to protect the school

children from the noise. The previously built barrier during construction will be maintained by

the O&M contractors and EGCB respectively.

On top of the regular monitoring, the comprehensive noise monitoring during operation will be

accomplished regularly and the mitigation measures will be taken. The noise level during

operation on site would be kept within DOE'S permissible limit. The cost of these barriers will be

estimated during EPC contract and will be included in bid documents and DPP which will be

implemented by the EPC contractor.

the contractor and EMU, EGCB respectively. During construction phase, the contractor will

follow their own corporate Occupation Health and Safety (OHS) procedures, that procedures will

be produced to the EGCB prior to the construction work.

The state of art OHS practice will be followed by the contractor, in case of any lapses in

definition and understanding of the environmental parameters and tests, the Engineering

Procurement Construction (EPC) contractor will be obliged to follow the Bangladesh (DOE) and

World Bank Group's EHS policy which is available on IFC website.

OHS committee will monitor and train the workers. Weekly1 fortnightly training will be

conducted to aware the workers under the contractors obligation. The cost regarding those

activities will be borne by the executors.

9.5.1 General Requirements

Bangladesh Labor Law encompasses the related occupational health and safety obligations.

Labour Law 2006. The labor law itself a huge volume so to avoid this volume of papers only the

labor law has been referenced in this chapter. The labor laws could have been included in review

of law chapter of EIA. This law has focused on occupational hygiene, occupational diseases,

industrial accidents, protection of women and young persons in dangerous occupation. The salient

features of the general requirements for the workers' health and safety stated in the refixed law is

presented in Table 9..9. This law is commonly followed in Bangladesh by employer, incase of

noncompliance there may have some problem during labor dealing.

9.5.2 Workplace Environmental Quality

The proposed power plant project has two main phases - (i) the construction of infrastructure,

installation and commissioning of plant equipment, (ii) operation of the plant etc.

9.5.3 Health Hazards

The construction phase includes site preparation, plant construction and access road construction

etc. The health hazards associated with these activities are mainly due to dust and noise pollution.

Excessive noise can cause loss of hearing and psychological changes. Dust pollutioni can cause

eye and respiratory irritation and in some cases allergic reactions. The inhalation of exhaust gases

from construction vehicles and machinery can also cause harmful effect to the health. Stress can

also be caused by working in shifts, high work load, poor living condition of workers etc.

A quantification of the measures of severity in health hazards is not well defined. They are slow

acting and cumulative, their effects may not be visible for years. During plant insta.llation and

commissioning exposure to the chemicals (paints, solvents, thinners etc.), batteries, welding

materials, lubricants etc., may cause hazardous effect to the workers, which ultimately could

cause anemia, liver and kidney damage, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorder.

9.5.4 Remedial measures

To minimize the hazards arising from the activities at different phases of plant constiruction and

operation, the following measures will be taken:

the employer (contractor during construction phase and in turnkey period) will inform his

employees to submit full scale medical report (if possible) to the authority prior to join in

to the company and medical board of the company will take decision on this report.

works with volatile toxic chemicals will be undertaken in a well ventilated place and as

per the corporate OHS guideline.

laborers handling, toxic chemicals will be provided with protective gear a.nd will be

relieved frequently from their posting.

workers exposed to an excessive noise should be provided with protective gear and be

relieved frequently from their post

workers exposed to dust will be provided appropriate musk and other protective gear.

frequent spraying of water will be undertaken to minimize dust pollution and dispersion.

persons undertaking construction and installation works shall have access to amenities for

their welfare and personal hygiene needs such as sanitary toilets, potable drinking water,

washing facilities, shelter sheds etc.

proper disposal of waste and sullage will be in practice.

health education and information on hygiene will be provided to the workers

regular checks on drinking water quality (if the water supplied by the contractors1

maintained and tested to eliminate the risk of electrical shock, burns, fire or explosion in

general.

construction site will be kept orderly and tidy. Access ways will be kept clear of materials

and debris. Access ways shall be maintained as non-slippery condition. All materials will

be stored in an orderly manner so that it does not pose any risk to the health or safety of

any person

arrangements of first aid facility will be me made accessible during construction and

operation work.

9.5.6 Work in Confined Spaces

In the operational phase, noise pollution may pose risk to health. Baseline study measured the

noise level near the generators and turbines ranged from 90 dBA to 110 dBA, which may cause

hearing impairment of the workers if exposed 2-4 hourslday.

Supervisors, inspectors and related personnel who work in this area will be provided ear plugs or

ear muffs.

Areas where people may be exposed to excessive noise will be sign posted as "Hearing; Protection

Areas" and their boundaries will be defined with red line. No person will be allowed to enter this

area unless wearing personal hearing protectors.

The confined work spaces will be provided sufficient air to avoid any health risk.

Adequate care will be taken to minimize stress and ergonomic design will be improved in course

of time to minimize health hazards.

First aid facilities will be kept in place and evacuation plans for emergency situations will be

facilitated with adequate drills, instructions and signs. Adequate fire fighting arrangements will

be installed and maintained in workable condition on a regular basis. In case of emergency,

firefighters from district level will be called on.

9.5.7 Training Training is an integral part of a preventive strategy. The training will be provided .to manager

environment, supervisors and technicians and related staff who are responsible for environmental

monitoring activities.

The following issues will be addressed in training of the managers, staff and workers:

Workers will be trained to understand the environmental monitoring issues and

parameters,

Concern officers and staff will be trained how to monitor and operation of the

environmental monitoring equipments

Arrange workplace consultation on noise control

Workers will participate in training and contribute to the noise management strategy

Persons likely to be exposed to risks will be provided with information and instruction in

safety procedures associated with the plant at the work place.

Relevant health and safety information will be provided to persons involved in

installation and commissioning, use and testing of the plant.

Information on emergency procedures relating to the plant will be displayed in a manner

that can be readily observed by persons who may be affected by the operation of the

plant.

Training will be provided to use fire fighting equipment as and when is necessary.

Facility staff will be trained in the safety procedures those are to be implemented during

unloading, transfer and storage of hazardous materials.

9.5.8 Record Keeping and Reporting

Reporting will be regularly communicated to the higher authority as a routine work. Records of

construction, installation, training, equipment maintenance, operation, fault detection and remedy

will be maintained. Records will be maintained for the propose plant in following the corporate

guidelines of the contractors and the owners.

9.5.9 Plant Construction

A person with control of a construction project or control of construction work will retain records

for a reasonable period after the completion of the construction project of the occupational health

and safety induction training and any other training given to persons directly engaged or trained

by them to undertake construction work on the project.

9.5.10 Plant Operation

During operation of the plant, arrangements will be made to keep records on any relevant tests,

maintenance, inspection, commissioning and alteration of the plant, and make those records

available to any employee or relevant health and safety representative.

9.5.11 Noise

Audiometric test records of employees should be kept during the employee's period of

employment and longer as necessary, as they may provide a useful reference for workers'

compensation. The records will be kept in a safe, secure place and held as confidential

documents.

9.5.12 Hazardous Substances

Assessment reports which indicate a need for monitoring and/or health surveillance together with

the results of monitoring and/or health surveillance shall be kept as records in a suitable form for

at least 30 years from the date of the last entry made. Retention for a period of at least 30 years is

necessary because some health effects, such as cancers, may take a long time to become evident.

The information kept will be valuable in epidemiological studies and for developing effective

control strategies.

All other records, including assessment reports not indicating a need for monitoring andlor health

surveillance and records of induction and training, shall be maintained for at least twelve years

one month in a suitable form.

10. Storage Facilities for Chemicals, Fuel, Oil and Grease

10.1 Oil Storage Facilities

In the main EIA report storage facilities has not been clearly addressed has not been adldressed

under this circumstance a briefly described oil and fuel storage facility for constructiorl and

operation is elucidated in this chapter. During construction and operation in site; fuel, lubricants

and other chemicals will be required for heavy equipment, vehicles etc. small portion of which

will be stored on site. The schematic diagram of chemical storage facility may be used by the

EPC contractor and O&M contractor.

Conceptual storage facilities are shown in Figure 2 &3. The bermed or bunded area would be big

enough to hold 1.5 times the volume of the largest tank in the storage facility in the event of spill

or leak. The containment berm will have a mechanism to separate out rainwater and treatment of

oil contaminated water.

Figure 2. Bermed containment facility

The EPC will design a catchments system to minimize spill damage. There is always a risk of fuel

leakage either as the result of an accident, failure to close valves or failure of equipment or

materials. Leaks caused by corrosion in oil storage tanks will be prevented to the maximum

extent possible with coatings and cathodic protection (both interior and exterior). The :EPC

contractor will employ early leak detection monitoring system where personnel will be aware and

trained on oil spill prevention, mitigation and management of the situation such as how to stop

further loss, isolate the source, contain the spread of contamination, clean up spills, and file an

incident report.

Further at each stage of the construction and operation, the EPC and O&M contractor will

maintain an inventory along with Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of hydrocarbon and

chemical sources up-to-date and include fuel tankers, fixed fuel dumps and their locations. The

EPC and O&M will maintain this practice and well developed contingency plan throughout their

construction and operation up to final commissioning and handing over the power plant to the

owner. Contingency plans will be based on the location and volume of potential spills.

Figure.3 Conceptual drawing for the separation of spillage

SUP Oillwater Separator

10.2 Oil Leaks and Drainage Systems

The main fuel is natural gas so there would not be any big types of oil spillage. To maintain a

good industrial practice the EPC and O&M contractor will develop a leak minimization strategy

as an integral part of facility design and maintenance procedures. Oil sumps will be provided for

all drains to prevent contamination of rainwater drainage. Drip pans will be used where needed.

>

The EPC contractor will construct separate storm water drainage systems for rainwater so that oil

and chemical will not contaminate the natural stream. Suitable absorbent material will be

available onsite for immediate prevention.

Oil contaminated water to treatment

11. House Keeping

The EPC and O&M contractor will maintain housekeeping practice to ensure safe working environment for the workers where waste generation and environmental damage will be minimized. The house keeping will include the following:

o Chemical usage o Erosion minimization o Emission reduction o Segregated waste handling o Periodic chain of custody inspection

12. Emergency Fire Fighting

For emergency situation or fire fighting the Siddhirganj Power Plant (210 MW Combined Cycle)

has its own fire fighting equipment intact under Assistant Director Security (table 9.10:), in

addition to the internal firefighting facility the Siddhirganj premises has the provision of taking

help from the Civil Defense Office of the Narayangonj district. The emergency numbers are

printed in front of the Chief Engineers office at Siddhirganj Power Plant site.
