JUJA/JUJA EAST BLOCK 1/2748 IN NYACABA, JUJA SUB-COUNTY IN KIAMBU COUNTY INVITATION OF PUBLIC COMMENTS 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, Tranbiz Enterprises Limited is proposing to install a waste handling incineration plant equipped with; self-balancing door, a clean-out door, a sideway connection, 2 burners, the stack beside the furnace, standard flanged sections, the reaction chamber-integrated in the stack, ventilator, control panel, hand adjustable time-clocks, digital displays, one layer of zinc silicate and a layer of heat resisting paint on plot L.R. No. Juja/Juja East Block 1/2748 in Nyacaba, Juja Sub- County in Kiambu County. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures Dust • Employees involved in the construction work to disturbances be provided with dust masks. • Project management and contractor to enforce strict use of personal protective clothing. • Complains of dust related aliments among employees given access to medical attention. • Sprinkle water on site. Noise • All construction work to be limited to daytime disturbances only. Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures precipitation • Vegetation cover of all open area to reduce surface run off. • Revegetation of all open areas to reduce surface run off. Increased • All users of said roads to always observe traffic vehicular rules. traffic • Speed limits to be strictly observed. Plant operators and worker training in hazardous-material management and annual refresher courses. All workers should be provided with protective gear. • A first aid kit should be provided within the site. • The • proponent should have workmen's compensation cover (WIBA). Increased • Approximate volumes of water to be required demand for for use at the site be computed. water and electricity Occupational • hazards or injuries to works, visitors and general public • Water saving devices such as push taps to be installed.
