Page 7emergency shutdown events <strong>to</strong> ensure the safety of the facility. Greenhouse gas emissions(“GHG”) will be generated from eng<strong>in</strong>es, burner fuel consumption, and fugitive emissions ofassociated gas. The <strong>Jubilee</strong> Field EIS estimated the <strong>to</strong>tal GHG emissions dur<strong>in</strong>g the<strong>in</strong>stallation of the <strong>FPSO</strong> <strong>to</strong> be approximately 75,000 <strong>to</strong>ns of CO2-equivalent. The annualGHG emission dur<strong>in</strong>g production operations was estimated at approximately 150,000 <strong>to</strong>nsCO2-equivalent per year. As required by PS 3 for projects with GHG emissions greater than100,000 <strong>to</strong>ns CO2-equivalent per year, MODEC will ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> a moni<strong>to</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g program forGHG emissions from its activities, and will establish programs <strong>to</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imize the emissions,based on the moni<strong>to</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g data.Waste: Waste streams associated with <strong>Jubilee</strong> <strong>FPSO</strong> activities will <strong>in</strong>clude hydrotest water,produced water, cool<strong>in</strong>g water, gray water and sewage, bilge water, deck dra<strong>in</strong>age, ballastwater, cool<strong>in</strong>g water, and solid waste. Hydrostatic test<strong>in</strong>g water discharge will be reduced,by implement<strong>in</strong>g an extensive pre-commission<strong>in</strong>g and commission<strong>in</strong>g test<strong>in</strong>g of the <strong>FPSO</strong>equipment at the conversion yard <strong>in</strong> S<strong>in</strong>gapore. Hydrostatic test<strong>in</strong>g of equipment and l<strong>in</strong>esoffshore will <strong>in</strong>volve pressure test<strong>in</strong>g typically with filtered seawater <strong>to</strong> verify equipmentand pipel<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>tegrity. For the test<strong>in</strong>g that will rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>to</strong> be conducted offshore <strong>Ghana</strong>,MODEC will develop hydrotest<strong>in</strong>g procedures, consistent with the relevant requirements <strong>in</strong>the Phase 1 Development Hydrotest<strong>in</strong>g Plan.Produced water will <strong>in</strong>clude formation water, <strong>in</strong>jection water, and process water. Producedwater is likely <strong>to</strong> be the largest effluent discharge dur<strong>in</strong>g production. It is anticipated thatquantities will be low dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>itial production, but may <strong>in</strong>crease as the <strong>Jubilee</strong> fieldmatures. The design throughput capacity of the <strong>FPSO</strong> is for handl<strong>in</strong>g up <strong>to</strong> 160,000 barrelsof <strong>to</strong>tal fluid (i.e., oil and produced water), out of which a maximum of 80,000 barrels ofproduced water per day can be processed. Produced water will be treated through oil waterseparation <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>IFC</strong> guidel<strong>in</strong>es (oil and grease not <strong>to</strong> exceed 42 mg/L daily maximum or29 mg/L monthly average) before be<strong>in</strong>g discharged overboard. A produced water dischargesampl<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>t has been <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> the <strong>FPSO</strong> and relevant procedures will be developed <strong>to</strong>moni<strong>to</strong>r compliance with the <strong>IFC</strong> guidel<strong>in</strong>es.Only limited non-contact cool<strong>in</strong>g water will be discharged <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> the mar<strong>in</strong>e environment.Tanker vett<strong>in</strong>g procedures will be responsibility of the <strong>Jubilee</strong> Field Unit Opera<strong>to</strong>r. The<strong>FPSO</strong> has separate ballast water tanks that will only allow for rout<strong>in</strong>e discharge of cleanballast water, conducted <strong>in</strong> accordance with the Operation Manual for Ballast System.Sewage will be treated us<strong>in</strong>g mar<strong>in</strong>e sanitation devices that will produce an effluent with am<strong>in</strong>imum residual chlor<strong>in</strong>e concentration of 1.0 mg/L and no visible float<strong>in</strong>g solids or oil andgrease. Treatment sludge will be transported <strong>to</strong> shore for disposal at an approved facility.Food waste will be ground prior <strong>to</strong> discharge, <strong>in</strong> accordance with MARPOL requirements.The <strong>FPSO</strong> <strong>in</strong>cludes design features that will conta<strong>in</strong> runoff and prevent oily dra<strong>in</strong>age frombe<strong>in</strong>g discharged: potentially contam<strong>in</strong>ated deck dra<strong>in</strong>age, collected by an open dra<strong>in</strong> system,is diverted <strong>to</strong> oil-water separation systems. The <strong>FPSO</strong> is designed <strong>to</strong> only allow for dischargeof water meet<strong>in</strong>g the criteria of 42 mg/L and 29 mg/L oil, daily maximum and monthlyaverages respectively. It will also not allow the discharge of free oil <strong>in</strong> deck dra<strong>in</strong>age thatwould cause a film, sheen, or discoloration of the surface of the water, or a sludge oremulsion <strong>to</strong> be deposited beneath the surface of the water. The dra<strong>in</strong> system on theprocess<strong>in</strong>g deck will <strong>in</strong>clude a closed dra<strong>in</strong> system, collect<strong>in</strong>g oily fluids, which will be sent <strong>to</strong>a cargo tank.All solid waste generated aboard will be managed accord<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> a Waste Management Plan
