1 BACKGROUND, INTRODUCTION AND JUSTIFICATION Geo Pollution Technologies has been appointed by Triple J Energies (Pty) Ltd (the Proponent) to

update their Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for their existing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

bulk storage facility and filling operations, GasIt, in the Southern Industrial Area, Windhoek (Figure

1-1). Land use on the property is Formal Open Space with a railway servitude as the property is leased

from TransNamib. There are residential areas between 100 and 200 m from the site

This EMP is based on potential impacts and risks identified during a desktop study and site visit

carried out by Geo Pollution Technologies, and recommends guidelines and measures to help mitigate

these potential impacts and risks.

Triple J Energies has been operating the LPG bulk storage facility and filling operation known as

GasIt since 2014. Prior to 2014 the facility was operated by Autogas. Two bulk LPG storage tanks on

site are filled by tanker trucks, travelling via road from South Africa. The railway siding is currently

not being used for deliveries. On average, two trucks per week deliver gas to the facility. From the

bulk LPG storage tanks, the gas is dispensed to smaller cylinders and supplied to clients. In addition to

the LPG operations, a small mobile carbon dioxide (CO2) tank is located underroof at a CO2 filling

and storage area. See Figure 1-2 for a site layout map.

Figure 1-2. Site layout

The area is located in a previous disturbed land area and no ecological impacts are expected. In terms

of climate, precipitation is sporadic and unpredictable, high intensity, highly localised storm events

between October and April. The dominant wind direction in the area is north-northwesterly and south-

southeasterly winds. Table 1-1 summarises the main climate characteristics of the area.

2 OBJECTIVES OF THE EMP The EMP provides management options to ensure any negative impacts during any construction and

operational activities are minimised. An EMP is a tool used to take pro-active action by addressing

potential problems before they occur. This should limit the corrective measures needed, although

additional mitigation measures might be included if necessary. The EMP acts as a stand-alone

document, which can be used during the various phases (planning, construction, operational and

decommissioning) of any activity or development. All contractors and sub-contractors taking part in

the operations of this facility should be made aware of the contents of the EMP, so as to conduct

relevant activities accordingly in an environmentally sound manner.

The objectives of the EMP are:

to include all components of the various activities;

to prescribe the best practicable control methods to lessen the environmental impacts associated

with the operations of the facility;

to monitor and audit the performance of operational personnel in applying such controls; and

to ensure that appropriate environmental training is provided to all operational personnel.

Triple J Energies may choose to implement an environmental management system for the GasIt

facility. At the heart of an EMS is the concept of continual improvement of environmental

performance with resulting increases in operational efficiency, financial savings and reduction in

environmental, health and safety risks. An effective EMS would need to include the following

elements:

A stated environmental policy which sets the desired level of environmental performance;

An environmental legal register;

Page 3 of 23

Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) LtdGasIt - Updated EMP - Sept 2021

Page 10: UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ... - eia.met.gov.na

An institutional structure which sets out the responsibility, authority, lines of communication and

resources needed to implement the EMS;

Identification of environmental, safety and health training needs;

An environmental program(s) stipulating environmental objectives and targets to be met, and work

instructions and controls to be applied in order to achieve compliance with the environmental

policy; and

Periodic (internal and external) audits and reviews of environmental performance and the

effectiveness of the EMS.

3 THE EMP The following general guidance for the EMP is based on possible impacts and risks associated with the

facility, as identified by Geo Pollution Technologies.

3.1 Land Use, Planning, Construction, Operations – Identified Impacts The following is the summary of the identified impacts:

The current zoning designates the area as suitable for the continued operations of Triple J

Energies’ GasIt facility;

Page 4 of 23

Geo Pollution Technologies (Pty) LtdGasIt - Updated EMP - Sept 2021

Page 11: UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ... - eia.met.gov.na

The immediate neighbours constitute mixed land use;

The risk of an accident/incident causing fire or explosions is possible. Human factors are still

being considered and the best engineering still goes in to maintaining a very safe facility. If a

fire or explosion was to occur and the necessary engineered structures were not in place there

could be a significant impact on the adjoining properties.

3.2 Land Use, Planning, Construction, Operations – Mitigating Measures The following is a summary of the proposed management plan, which will make the facility safe

taking into consideration all the risk perceptions identified:

To prevent product loss and the possibility of fires and explosions the facility must adhere to

SANS standards or better. Regular inspection of all pipelines, tanks, valves, connectors, etc.

should be performed and records kept thereof.

Adequate firefighting equipment should be present on site.

The LPG storage tanks are pressurised tanks and designed not to open to the atmosphere like

liquid storage tanks. There is absolutely no chance of LPG vapours being released from the

storage tanks during normal operations or at any other time, except during emergencies where

there is a build-up of pressure, exceeding a set threshold.

The risk of ecological threat and the contamination of soils or groundwater is prevented

through safe work practices and waste management plans.

Strict operational procedures and emergency measures are implemented and enforced by

Triple J Energies to manage potential risks.

All personnel working on site to receive annual training on handling of gas and safety

procedures. This will be applicable to Triple J Energies employees as well as contractors.

4 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EMP Table 4-1 to Table 4-4 outline the management of the environmental elements that may be affected by

the different activities, grouped in each project phase. These groups are as follows:

Planning for Operations and Future Decommissioning of the Project

Future Construction/Maintenance Phase

Operational Phase

Decommissioning Phase

The EMP is a living document that must be prepared in detail, and regularly updated, by the proponent

as the project progress and evolve. Impacts addressed and mitigation measures proposed are seen as

minimum requirements which have to be elaborated on where needed. Delegation of mitigation and

reporting activities should be determined by the proponent and included in the EMP.

The EMP and Environmental Clearance Certificate must be communicated to the site manager. All

monitoring results must be reported on as indicated. These are important for any future renewals of the

environmental clearance certificate and must be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and

Tourism during any renewal application.

With renewal of the environmental clearance certificate a summary report based on the monitoring

prescribed in this EMP must be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Tourism together with

the application for renewal.

Page 29: UPDATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ... - eia.met.gov.na

5 CONCLUSIONS The above Environmental Management Plan, if properly implemented will help minimise adverse

impacts on the environment. Where impacts occur, immediate action must be taken to reduce the

escalation of effects associated with these impacts. To ensure the relevance of this document to the

specific stage of project, it needs to be reviewed throughout all phases.

The Environmental Management Plan should be used as an on-site reference document during all

phases of the proposed project. Auditing should take place in order to determine compliance with the

EMP for the site, and Parties responsible for transgression of the EMP should be held responsible for

any rehabilitation that may need to be undertaken.

Monitoring reports must be kept available for possible submission with future renewal applications for

environmental clearance certificates.
