Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant Environmental Impact ... - IFC

• Bitumen shall not be overheated and where possible, bitumen shall not be
heated with open flame burners; and
8.1.2 Operation
• Pots and tanks containing hot bitumen shall be covered to minimise fume
production.
With the strict implementation of the mitigation measures listed above, the
magnitude of the dust impact will be reduced such that the residual
significance is considered to be minor-moderate.
The turbines will use a dry low NOx combustion system which will form a
key mitigation measure during the Operation phase. In addition all vehicles
used shall be regularly maintained.
The impact significance air emissions during operation will remain minor
(NO 2) and insignificant (CO) and significant (greenhouse gases).
8.1.3 Decommissioning
Whilst there are no significant impacts identified associated with the
decommissioning phase of the Project, it is recommended that best practice
measures are implemented to minimise the potential for dust to be generated
and escape off-site. These mitigation measures shall be developed as part of
the decommissioning plan and shall be broadly similar to those identified
during construction and the remainder of the above section describing
management of dust impacts during construction. For example also, sulphur
hexafluoride, a greenhouse gas, from the transformers should not be released
to the atmosphere, but be reclaimed for reuse, if possible.
On the basis of the potential impacts identified for the decommissioning
phase, a dust mitigation programme shall be developed in the Site Closure
and Restoration Plan.
The implementation of mitigation measures will reduce the dust produced as
part of the decommissioning activities and prevent the dust from leaving the
site. The residual impacts during decommissioning are likely to be minormoderate
after the implementation of mitigation.
8.2 NOISE
8.2.1 Construction
The construction contractor shall implement the recommendations set out in
the British Standard 5228: 2009 or similar standards as well as the IFC
Guideline Noise Levels. The following general noise control strategies shall
be adopted and enforced where practicable:
