management<br />

38. • Consider staggering the planned release of the surplus drilling mud<br />

over time, and at different locations, preferably in fast-flowing<br />

conditions and deeper river sections to aid the rapid dispersion of the<br />

bentonite.<br />

• Monitor first release of drilling mud and evaluate observations<br />

regarding dispersion rate and any observable impacts on aquatic life<br />

to improve subsequent release methods.<br />

• If significant impacts on aquatic life become apparent, identify<br />

alternative methods of drilling mud disposal.<br />

39. • Consider disposing of at least some surplus drilling mud on land.<br />

40. • Continuously monitor the position of the drill head relative to river side<br />

structures.<br />

• Stop operations and realign drill path if it gets too close to piles.<br />

41. • Investigate requirements to allow for the compensation of businesses<br />

if they are affected by damage to their jetties as a result of driling.<br />

42. • Limit the use of heavy machinery and construction activities<br />

associated with high noise levels to 07h00 to 19h00 from Mondays to<br />

Saturdays, particularly where residential areas or sensitive institutions<br />

are situated close to the road.<br />

• Notify any nearby residents if construction work is planned outside of<br />

those times.<br />

43. • Reduce airborne dust at construction sites through e.g.:<br />

- Damping dust-generating areas with freshwater;<br />

- Use of cloth or brush-barrier fences; and<br />

- Covering dumps or stockpiles of lose material with plastic sheeting<br />

or netting, especially during windy conditions.<br />

• Apply appropriate measures to suppress dust generated by<br />

construction vehicles on dirt roads that service the construction sites.<br />

44. • Maintain all generators, vehicles, vessels and other equipment in<br />

good working order to minimise exhaust fumes and excess noise.<br />

45. • If complaints regarding noise are received from residents, consider<br />

installing partial screening around the noisiest activities and/or<br />

mufflers on noisy equipment.<br />

46. • Develop a waste management plan or implement the waste<br />

management plan applied to the entire Refinery Expansion Project.<br />

47. • Aim to minimise waste through reducing and re-using (packaging)<br />

material.<br />

• All contractors<br />

operating<br />

machinery<br />

• Before and at each<br />

planned release of surplus<br />

drilling mud<br />

• Throughout drilling<br />

operations<br />

• Discussion of planned<br />

release with <strong>Staatsolie</strong><br />

project manager<br />

• Keep written and<br />

photographic record of<br />

each release<br />

• Record of incidences and<br />

any compensation<br />

• Throughout construction • Visual assessment of dust<br />

plumes<br />

• Random machinery<br />

checks<br />

• <strong>Staatsolie</strong> • Before site establishment • Availability of plan<br />

• All contractors • Throughout construction • Visual inspection of waste<br />

collection and disposal<br />

• Extent of silt plume in river<br />

• Rate of dispersion<br />

• Smothered animals or<br />

plants<br />

• Number of registered<br />

complaints<br />

• Number of days that dust<br />

plumes are visible<br />

• Visibility of dust coming off<br />

construction site<br />

• Dust mitigation measures<br />

in place<br />

• Presence of litter<br />
