Summary of Mitigation and Enhancement Measures<br />

• Develop and implement of a waste management plan;<br />

• No open ground left unpaved or rehabilitated;<br />

• The use of gravel (or similar material) across the plant area to<br />

minimise surface run-off;<br />

• Effective operation of the wastewater treatment plant with<br />

effluent flowing offsite comply with FMEnv requirements.<br />

• Update and implement waste management plan, to be updated<br />

as part of the Site Closure and Restoration Plan; and<br />

• Minimise transportation and excavation and rehabilitate before<br />

wet season.<br />

• Develop a waste management plan including waste separation,<br />

waste storage on hardstanding/ bunding;<br />

• Effective site drainage, and sediment/silt trapping mechanism,<br />

cut-off drains, oil/water separators and silt traps and drainage<br />

installations for heavy rainfall events;<br />

• Bund storage areas for hydrocarbons, fuels, lubricants;<br />

• Regular maintenance of all plant and machinery;<br />

• Use manual positive lift pumps to remove water from bunds;<br />

• Staff training on rapid spill response and cleanup techniques;<br />

• Minimise vegetation clearing and re-vegetate before the wet<br />

season;<br />

• Minimise stockpiling, 10 m buffer between drainage channels<br />

and stockpiles and placement to minimise exposure;<br />

• Adequate sewage collection and treatment; and<br />

• Line all areas for concrete mixing.<br />

• Develop Spill Control and Response plans;<br />

• Develop a waste management plan including waste separation,<br />

waste storage on hardstanding/ bunding;<br />

• International standards for diesel storage tanks, cathodic<br />

protection, if required, periodic inspections, alarms, automatic<br />

shut-off devices and oil/ water separators in diesel storage area;<br />

Bund storage areas for hydrocarbons, fuels, lubricants; and<br />

• Waste water and groundwater monitoring programme to<br />

ensure adherence to Nigerian, WHO and World Bank limits.<br />
