Addendum to <strong>EMPR</strong> for Concessions 8(a), 9(a) and 8(b) 37- Clearly mark any exclusion zone(s) using light buoys and/or radar reflectors.- Maintain ongoing communication with the lobster fleet when they are operational inthe area where mining is being conducted.Management Actions in the case of lost equipment should include:- Maintain a database of any equipment lost off the dredger.- Wherever feasible, every attempt should be made to recover lost equipment.4.3.4 Onboard Waste and Materials ManagementThe types of wastes generated by the dredger will include:- gas emissions from engine/generator exhausts utilising bunker fuel and/or gas oil;- various hydrocarbon substances (including bunker fuel, gas oil, hydraulic oil,lubricating oil and solvents), which collect in the bilges;- sewage and organic wastes; and- domestic refuse.The contracted dredging company Dredging, Environmental and Marine Engineering (DEME) isISO 14001 certified, and stringent waste management systems are thus in place on all vessels.This includes oil spill management plans and the relevant insurances in the event of a vesseldisaster. The impacts of wastes generated by the contracted dredger are thus of lowsignificance.Waste disposal Status NegativeExceeding MARPOL international air Probability Improbable; only IMO-approved shipboardpollution guidelines/requirementsincinerators are installed and only generalfor shipboard waste incineration -waste will be incinerated.SO 2 , CO 2 , Volatile Organic Carbons Confidence Medium(VOCs), metals, particulates, ashemissionsExtent Site-specific; limited to immediate areaaround the dredger.Duration Short-term; dilution of emissions will berapid.Intensity NegligibleSignificance LowOrganic waste disposal Status NegativeViolating MARPOL standards for Probability Improbable; due to proceduresdisposal of organic wastes (foodwaste) at seaimplemented to ensure that food waste ismacerated before disposal to sea andadherence to MARPOL requirementsregarding disposal in relation to distancefrom shore.Confidence HighExtent Site-specific; limited to immediate areaaround the dredger.Duration Short-term; dispersal and dilution ofmacerated food waste will be rapid.Intensity NegligibleSignificance LowNamagroen Prospecting & Investments October 2008
