GAZETFE NOTICE No. 9333 THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND CO-ORDINATION ACT (No. 8 of 1999) THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY REPORT FOR THE PROPOSED 10 TON/24H WASTE TYRE PYROLYSIS PLANT ONPLOT NO. KAWALA "A"/399 SITUATED AT KOKOTONI MAZERAS IN KILIFI 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, Monarch Petrochemical Limited is proposing to construct a 10 ton/24H waste tyre pyrolysis plant on plot No. Kawala "A"/399 situated at Kokotoni; Mazeras in Kilifi County. The primary objective of the plant is to derive Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO), carbon black powder, steel wire and gas. Pyrolysis involves subjecting tyres to high temperature of 400 to 450 degree Celsius, in the absence of oxygen. During the process scrap steel is produced while tyre breaks down into smallei molecules of pyrolysis oil, pyrolysis gas and carbon black. TPO is used as liquid fuel in industrial burners. Carbon black is a valuable feed stock for the manufacture of tyres, rubber products, paints, pigments, ink, powder coating, toner, etc. The gas generated by tyre pyrolysis will be effectively used to fuel the process. The scrap steel generated will be sufficiently clean to be sold to scrap metal processors. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: Impacts Mitigation Measures Noise pollution • Construction work and delivery of raw materials will be limited to day time hours only. • Delivery of raw materials will be done so as to exclude weekends. • Locate concrete mixers as far as practical from neighboring properties. • Zone the areas and mark them with paint and signage as high noise areas where ear PPEs are needed. • Inform neighbors in writing prior to commencement of the development so that they are prepared psychologically at least two weeks in advance. • Employees using equipment that produce peak sounds shall be provided with ear protection PPEs. • Comply with the provisions of Noise Regulations (Legal Notice No. 61 of 2009). • Register the site as a workplace with the Directorate of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHS). Dust and fumes • Secure the site using appropriate dust screens. • Ensure strict enforcement of on-site speed limit regulations. • Avoid excavation works in extremely dry weather periods. • Ensure all construction equipment is serviced regularly to avoid excessive fumes. • Insist on use of low sulphur diesel and other environmentally friendly fuels. • Provide dust masks to all employees and ensure their proper utilization. Sprinkle building materials that are likely to produce dust such as ballast with water before use to suppress dust. • Access road and dust surfaces at the construction site should be sprinkled with water twice a day. • Provide PPE to employees. Air emissions • Burn the pyrolysis gas as fuel in the process or bum it in a flare. • Tyres will not be pyrolyzed with other materials. • Undertake air quality monitoring and implement best available control technology e.g. the use of a scrubber. • Undertake periodic maintenance of valves and joints that may potentially leak. • Install gas detectors at strategic points to sense/check the presence of any harmful gases. • Position portable gas detectors at strategic locations to monitor pyrolysis gas leak. • Make available and train staff on the use and operation of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). • Avail SCBA to handle any emergencies in case any harmful gases are detected. Health and safety of • Provision of adequate and appropriate employees at the PPE including safety shoes, dust masks, workplace helmets, gloves and overalls. • Train them in the use of all equipment that they will be required to operate. - Ensure that all chemicals used in are appropriately labeled or marked. • The contractor to implement the - provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, No. 15 of 2007. The farm site to be registered as a workplace with the Directorate of Occupational Health and Safety. Solid waste management • Use of an integrated solid waste management system i.e. through a hierarchy of options: I. Source reduction 2. Recycling 3. Reuse 4. Disposal. • Dispose of waste at the designated dump sites. • Transportation of wastes from the site to be done by a NEMA registered solid waste handler who will use appropriate vehicles for conveyance of wastes from site to designated Sites. • Sell, utilize, or recycle the materials to avoid disposing them as wastes. • Comply with the Waste Management Regulations, 2006. Oil spills • Oil to be stored in properly sealed above ground storage tanks inside a containment wall. • Waste oil to be sold to a NEMA licensed waste oil recycling plant. • Prepare and implement an Oil Spill Contingency Plan. • Engage services of a NEMA licensed waste oil handler to dispose of the sludge or re-use the waste oil in other activities. Build capacity of staff to manage oil movements and potential spills. Effluent from workforce) • Procure a portable toilet facility to be emptied at appropriate intervals by - licensed contractors. Traffic management . Heavy commercial vehicles delivering raw materials shall observe designated speed limits for the area. Personnel shall be deployed at site entry and exit to direct traffic in and out of the site. Security personnel could double in this role. • Proper signage and warnings to be placed on the access route to forewarn other motorists on the use of theroad by heavy commercial vehicles. Possible fire outbreak • Display warning signs e.g. "No Smoking', 'Highly Flammable', etc. to mitigate lighting fire on or near flammable substances. • Create awareness among workers on safety (Train in fire safety). • Designate a storage area for fuel/highly flammable substances that will be guarded to limit access. Increased water demand • Ensure sources of water for use meets the standards specified under schedule I of Legal Notice No. 120 of 2006 (standards for domestic supply) • Create awareness among workers on the importance of conservation of water (resources) Seek water extraction permits from WARMA before the proposed boreholesare sunk to supplement the reticulated supply.
