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

During operation, the major solid waste stream will be waste chemicals from
the demineralisation plant and office waste including paper cardboard, glass,
food wastes and cans. It is anticipated that small amounts of hazardous waste
will be generated in the form of fuel oil residues, cleaning solvents and sludge
from oil tanks.
All solid wastes generated will be disposed of at an appropriately licensed
landfill site. Azura Power will identify appropriate landfill sites during the
detailed design phase.
3.3 UTILITIES AND ANCILLARY SERVICES
3.3.1 Electrical Systems and Transmission Line
The transmission line (330 kV) will link the power plant to the Benin North
Substation that is being built adjacent to the Site. The transmission line will be
placed aboveground and require one pylon. Details of the additional electrical
systems are described under Section 3.2.6.
3.3.2 Gas Pipeline Spur
The gas pipeline spur will be constructed (by the gas supplier) along the
cleared existing right of way for the spur constructed for the neighbouring
NIPP plant to the ELPS line. This right of way runs for 1 km along the
southern boundary of the NIPP site to the ELPS pipeline. A separate spur line
comprising a 1 km 18 inch pipe will be buried parallel to the existing line used
for the NIPP plant and will be for the sole use of the Project.
The gas supplier may also consider a route which runs a maximum of 50 m
directly from the eastern corner of the Project site to the ELPS line Error!
