Chapter One Introduction, Administrative & Legal Framework • Limit the nature and extent of any residual negative impacts, however caused, such that they are as low as practicable; • Consult relevant stakeholders; • Leave the environment at the end of the useful life of any operation in a condition suitable for future use; • Routinely monitor the environmental status of each operation and take corrective action as necessary. 1.4.23 SPDC’s Waste Management Policy It is the policy of SPDC to: • Take all practical and reasonable measures to minimize the generation of solid and liquid wastes, as well as emissions from flares and otherwise; • Not use mineral oil-based mud in drilling; • Manage and dispose of wastes in an environmentally responsible manner; • Track and maintain records of waste streams and provide an auditable trail as to their management and disposal. 1.4.24 SCiN Biodiversity Policy Which states that in Shell, we recognise the importance of biodiversity. Therefore, we are committed to: Work with others to maintain Ecosystems Respect the basic concept of Protected Areas Partner with others to make positive contributions towards the conservation of biodiversity in our areas of operations Conduct Environmental Assessments with increased focus on impacts on biodiversity Engage and collaborate with other stakeholders to manage biodiversity responsibly especially in sensitive environments 1.4.25 SPDC’s Flares-Down Policy SPDC is committed to the elimination of routine flaring and venting as means of disposal of associated gas, and to a continuous reduction in the proportion of gas wasted as a result of operational or equipment failures. By 2008, all SPDC operated flowstations and processing facilities will be provided with equipment to gather and harness a Associated Gas (AG), and SPDC and its customers will be able to utilize this gas under normal operating conditions. Continuous venting of gas shall be eliminated by 2003. Also by 2008, facilities shall be installed to utilize more than 90% of AG and by investing to achieve continuous improvement to the level of best Group practice thereafter. To implement this policy, SPDC shall carry out the following: • Gather High Pressure (HP), Low Pressure (LP) and Surge Vessel (SV) gas, unless SV volumes are fully required for flare purge; • Upgrade flares systems with Knock Out (KO) pots and clean-combustion tips. Low-purge flare tips shall be considered when units are replaced; • Consider shielded flares for sensitive locations; • Standby spare compressors shall not be provided; 1.5 Structure of the Report The EIA report of Western Domestic Gas Supply (WDGSP/WAGP) Project at Oben Field is divided into eight chapters as follows: Chapter 1 introduces the project, presents the legal and administrative framework, while Chapter 2 provides the project justification, objectives, design considerations and project description, Chapter 3 1-9
Chapter One Introduction, Administrative & Legal Framework describes the existing environment. Chapter 4 highlights the associated and potential impacts of the proposed project, Chapter 5 is on the mitigation measures of the envisaged Impacts, Chapter 6 provides the Environmental Management Plan. Chapter 7 talks about the consultation programme embarked upon for the project. while. Chapter 8 gives the conclusion and recommendations. 1.6 Terms of Reference SPDC commissioned an EIA of the Western Domestic/WAGP Gas Supply Project at Oben Field in order to comply with statutory requirements. The EIA will establish the environmental issues associated with the project, predict their impacts and magnitudes; suggest and evaluate project alternatives with regard to cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness and recommend mitigation measures. The summary of the scope of the EIA is as follows; Literature review Baseline Data Collection: • Field Work • Laboratory/Data Analyses Assessment and Prediction of Potential Impacts Determination of Appropriate Mitigation Measures Environmental Management Plan The workscope of the baseline data acquisition was; Biophysical Climate and meteorology Air quality and noise Vegetation Land use/cover Wildlife Geology and hydrogeology Soil/sediment quality Aquatic studies Groundwater quality Hydrobiology and fisheries Social Demography Social conditions of communities Socio-economic condition of the communities Socio-political structure/organisation, political/dispute resolution institutions and mechanisms Archaeological and historical data Social structure/trends and social groups Social facilities Social needs of the communities and Community perceptions/view/opinions/benefits of the projects Health Socio-economics/vital health statistics Individual/family/community health determinant Health outcomes Environmental health determinants Institutional health determinants Knowledge, attitudes and practices 1-10
