1 OBJECTIVES OF THE EMP ENGEN Namibia (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as ENGEN Namibia) operates an existing bulk fuel

storage facility in Walvis Bay. Their environmental management plan (EMP) provides management

options to ensure impacts of operations and potential maintenance (construction activities) are

minimised. An EMP is a tool used to take pro-active action by addressing potential problems before

they occur. This should limit the corrective measures needed, although additional mitigation measures

might be included if necessary. The EMP acts as a stand-alone document, which can be used during

the various phases (planning, construction, operational and decommissioning) of any proposed activity

or development. All contractors and sub-contractors taking part in the operations and site maintenance

of this facility should be made aware of the contents of the EMP, so as to plan the relevant activities

accordingly in an environmentally sound manner.

The objectives of the EMP are:

to include all components of the various activities;

to prescribe the best practicable control methods to lessen the environmental impacts associated

with the operations and maintenance of the bulk fuel storage facility;

to monitor and audit the performance of operational and maintenance personnel in applying such

controls; and

to ensure that appropriate environmental training is provided to responsible operational and

maintenance personnel.

ENGEN Namibia implements an environmental management system based on the ISO 14001

standard. At the heart of an EMS is the concept of continual improvement of environmental

performance with resulting increases in operational efficiency, financial savings and reduction in

environmental, health and safety risks. An effective EMS would need to include the following

elements:

A stated environmental policy which sets the desired level of environmental performance;

An environmental legal register;

An institutional structure which sets out the responsibility, authority, lines of communication and

resources needed to implement the EMS;

Identification of environmental, safety and health training needs;

An environmental program(s) stipulating environmental objectives and targets to be met, and work

instructions and controls to be applied in order to achieve compliance with the environmental

policy; and

Periodic (internal and external) audits and reviews of environmental performance and the

effectiveness of the EMS.

2 THE EMP The following general guidance for the EMP is based on the findings of the EIA and risk assessment

carried out by Geo Pollution Technologies (Botha et al. 2014).

2.1 Land Use, Planning, Design, Operations – Identified Impacts The following is the summary of the key findings of the EIA:

The current zoning (industrial) still designates the area as suitable for the continued operations

of the bulk fuel storage facility;

The immediate neighbours constitute like industry;

The risk of an accident/incident causing fires or explosions is still considered to be high.

Human factors are still being considered and the best engineering still goes in to maintaining a

very safe depot. If a fire or explosion was to occur, and the necessary engineered structures

were not in place, there would be a significant possible impact on the adjoining industrial

properties.

Soil and groundwater pollution is possible where fuel spills occur and are not contained.

2.2 Land Use, Planning, Design, Operations – Mitigating Measures The following is a summary of the proposed Management Plan, which will make the bulk fuel

storage facility safe taking into consideration all the risk perceptions raised by all stakeholders:

To prevent product loss through ruptures of pipeline or hose during the offloading operations,

all nozzles on the rail tankers, road tankers and storage tanks are fitted with excess flow check

valves. These are designed to allow only specific flow rates and the moment it exceeds this,

the process is stopped. Small quantities lying in the hose that could leak would be captured by

spill containment structures.

Fire and explosion events are prevented through adherence to South African National

Standards (SANS).

The existence firefighting equipment and emergency water reservoir are deemed adequate to

meet with possible emergencies. Refer to the company’s emergency plan for bulk fuel storage

facilities.

The bulk fuel storage facility does not cause any substantial ecological threat to the

environment in the vicinity of Walvis Bay. Contamination of soils or groundwater is

prevented through safe work practices, engineered safety devices and spill containment

structures.

3 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EMP Tables 1 to 4 outline the management of the environmental elements that may be affected by the

different activities, grouped in each phase of development. These groups are as follows:

Planning Phase

Operational Phase

Maintenance Phase

Decommissioning Phase

The EMP is a living document that must be prepared in detail, and regularly updated, by the proponent

as the project progress and evolve. The tables below act as a guideline for the EMP to be established

by the proponent. Impacts addressed and mitigation measures proposed are seen as minimum

requirements which have to be elaborated on. Delegation of mitigation and reporting activities should

be determined by the proponent and included in the EMP.

All monitoring results must be reported on as indicated and submitted to the Ministry of Environment

and Tourism as per their regulations and requirements. These are required for any future renewals of

the environmental clearance certificate.

4 CONCLUSIONS The above Environmental Management Plan, if properly implemented will help minimise adverse

impacts on the environment. Where impacts occur, immediate action must be taken to reduce the

escalation of effects associated with these impacts. To ensure the relevance of this document to the

specific stage of project, it needs to be reviewed throughout all phases.

The Environmental Management Plan should be used as an on-site reference document during all

phases of the proposed project, and auditing should take place in order to determine compliance with

the EMP for the proposed site, and Parties responsible for transgression of the EMP should be held

responsible for any rehabilitation that may need to be undertaken.

Monitoring reports must be kept available for possible submission with future renewal applications for

environmental clearance certificates. Prior to clearance renewal a summary report based on all

monitoring and reporting must be prepared for submission to MET.
