GAZETTE NOTICE NO. 501

PURSUANT to Section 59 of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project. The proponent, Sparkling Mansion Limited Liability Partnership, proposes to construct a single mixed use block of 21No. storeys (ground, 6No. podium floors, 1st – 21st floors plus roof floor) comprising a total of 260No. units (80No. two bedroom, 140No. one bedroom and 40No. studio apartment units) with a restaurant, residents lounge, swimming pool, terrace, bar, a gym and drying area on the roof floors, parking slots, associated facilities and amenities on plot L.r. No. Nairobi/Block 25/17 on Prof David Wasawo Drive, off Riverside Drive in Chiromo Area, Nairobi County. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Possible Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures Waste management • Waste minimization by ordering right/accurate quantities and sizes rather than cutting to sizes leaving wastes or ordering excess quantities leaving residuals. • Reduction and segregation of waste at source and suitable bins properly labeled to facilitate recycle and/or sound disposal. • Engage the services of NEMA registered waste collector for disposal of solid waste. • Sound waste management system by incorporating suitable facilities for collection, segregation and safe disposal of solid wastes to support recycling and reuse. • Proper storage, handling and disposal of new & used oil. • Installation of sanitary systems that use less water. • Connection to sewer for wastewater disposal. • Ensure compliance with Waste Management Regulations, 2006 and the Sustainable Waste Management Act. • Connection to sewer. Constraints to infrastructure and services • Liaise with respective service providers for installation/expansion. • Adequate provision for infrastructure and services. • Installation of internal infrastructure (drainage, water, roads, sewer, parking, rain water harvesting and storage etc) to best standards. • Installation of transformer(s) and supplementary sources such as solar systems. • Adoption of green building technologies. Soil disturbance and erosion • Control earthworks and compact loose soils. • Install drainage structures properly. • Landscaping on project completion. • Control and manage excavation activities. • Provide soil erosion control and conservation structures/means where necessary. • Ensure standard appropriate practices. • Efficient drainage structures by proper design, construction and maintenance. Air pollution • Enclose the site with suitable double dust screens. • Sprinkle water to dry soils in excavated areas and earth roads to suppress dust. • Covering friable material loads during transportation. • Sound condition of machinery and equipment. 16th January, 2026 THE KENYA GAZETTE Possible Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures • Strict adherence to Air Quality Regulations, 2014. Noise pollution • Erect suitable barriers to control noise. • Maintain machinery, plant equipment. • Construction activities to be restricted between 8am – 5pm. • Workers exposed to high-level noise to wear safety and protective gear. • Adherence to Noise and Excessive Vibration Pollution (Control) Regulations, 2009. Increased pressure on resources • Adoption of green building technologies. • Conservation of resources; use of renewable resources; rain water harvesting and storage; installation of solar energy systems. • Sourcing materials from environmentally compliant suppliers/sources. • Use of recyclable materials; Installation of water conserving taps and facilities; waste water recycling and reuse. • Installation of transformer(s) and supplementary sources such as solar systems and standby generators. • Ensure electrical equipment, appliances and lights are switched off when not being used. • Design to provide for adequate natural lighting and ventilation. Public health, occupational health and safety • Train staff/workers on occupational health and safety; Provide full PPEs and workmen’s compensation cover in addition to the right tools and operational instructions and manuals. • Design and disseminate appropriate emergency response plans. • Installation and maintenance of fire prevention, control and management measures. • Ensure machinery and equipment servicing and maintenance as per schedules and legal requirements • Ensure adherence OSHA, 2007. • Ensure use of standard construction materials and to the specifications. Avoid undesirable, substandard, hazardous or unauthorized materials during construction and maintenance. • Provide fully equipped First Aid kits and train staff on its use. • Provide bill boards at the site/entrance to notify motorists and public about the development. • Waste water management installations (e.g. Sewers) be isolated from water pipes to avoid contamination of domestic water. • Design to include adequate circulation. Traffic Management • Conduct a traffic Impact Assessment and generate a traffic management plan. Possible Impacts Proposed Mitigation Measures • The Traffic management plan should be followed throughout the project cycle 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.
