2. IFC Environmental, Health and Safety

Guidelines for Offshore Oil and

Gas Development (April. 2007)

Covers development and production activities, pipeline delivery of products, tanker loading and unloading, ancillary and support operations. The guidelines are intended to be used as a standard in project conception and design whilst project operations may be evaluated against the guidelines.

An Environment, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS) is required for Category A projects.

In terms of solid waste, packaging material, containers, discarded and damaged pipe and drill bits, and leftover construction materials are to be taken ashore and appropriately reused, recycled or disposed. Hazardous wastes (e.g. paint residues, solvents, batteries, pig-cleaning sludge, etc) are to be taken ashore to facilities for treatment and disposal with efforts made to eliminate, reduce or recycle hazardous wastes.

Sakhalin Energy uses a “hierarchical approach” to select appropriate waste management solutions. This prioritises waste minimisation and is consistent with RF and international best practice.

Sakhalin Energy has a strategy for dealing with all items mentioned in the IFC guidelines, as specified in Waste Management Standard 0000-S-90-04-O-0258-00.

Wastes generated offshore including hazardous wastes shall be stored in secure containers on platforms until viable economic quantities are accumulated and then shall be handed over to a licensed contractor for further disposal ashore.

residues (amended by: 2002/84/EC;

2007/71/EC; Regulation (EC) № 1137/2008 of 22

October 2008)

Protection of the marine environment can be enhanced by reducing discharges into the sea of ship-generated waste and cargo residues. One way this can be achieved is through improving the availability and use of reception facilities and enforcement.

The upgraded landfill facilities can receive the Hazard Class 4 and 5 wastes from ships on a contingency basis.

4. Directive 2000/76/EC of the

European Parliament and of the Council on the

incineration of waste (amended by

Regulation (EC) № 1137/2008 of 22 October 2008)

This Directive is intended to fill the gaps in existing legislation pertaining to incineration i.e. Directives 89/369/EEC and 89/429/EEC (new and existing municipal waste-incineration plants) and 94/67/EC (incineration of hazardous waste).

Repealing of the latter Directives came into force on December 28, 2005.

Apart from the incineration of non-toxic municipal waste its scope extends to the incineration of non-toxic non-municipal waste (such as sewage sludge, tyres and hospital waste) and toxic wastes not covered by Directive 94/67/EC (such as waste oils and solvents). It is also intended to incorporate the technical progress made on monitoring incineration-process emissions into the existing legislation.

Small capacity incinerators not exceeding 25kg per hour are used by the Company’s contractors for the disposal of selected waste streams such as oily rags, oil filters, oil sludge where no feasible management option currently exists on Sakhalin.

A limit of 90 tonnes per year sets on the total waste that may be disposed of to such incinerators during operations phase. Such activities are limited to Sakhalin Energy operations, controlled and performed by trained personnel.

Sakhalin Energy carries out a compliance audit (to RF standards e.g., air emissions and waste incineration permits are required) for any such incinerator used by contractor.

5. Council Directive on hazardous waste

91/689/EEC (amended by

94/31/EC; Regulation (EC)

№166/2006 of 18 January 2006; 2008/98/EC)

Member States ensure that hazardous waste is recorded and identified; and that different categories of hazardous waste are not mixed and that hazardous waste is not mixed with non-hazardous waste (except where the necessary measures have been taken to safeguard human health and the environment).

Any establishment or undertaking which carries out disposal operations must obtain a permit.

Establishments or undertakings which carry out disposal operations or operations which may lead to recovery and producers of hazardous waste are subject to periodic inspections covering in particular the origin and destination of the waste. Transporters, producers, establishments and undertakings keep a record of their activities and make this information available to the competent authorities designated by each State.

Does not cover domestic waste.

Sakhalin Energy record, identify and segregate all hazardous from non-hazardous waste classes.

The amount of waste volumes in Classes 1-3 shall be relatively small compared with the non-hazardous classes 4 and 5. The majority of Class 1 and 2 wastes shall be recycled by returning it to the manufacturers, and shall largely comprise LNG filters, mercury lamps and lead acid batteries. Class 3 waste, which largely comprises waste oil, shall be stored in secure containers on assets sites until economic quantities for viable resource recovery and thus have a minimal direct environmental impact.

As part of the landfill upgrade programme, the Landfill Code of Conduct shall stipulate separation and storage of Class 1 to 3 wastes coming from non-Sakhalin Energy sources at the landfills. Waste segregation and checking for compliance is under the landfill Operator's responsibility. Sakhalin Energy shall provide PPE and appropriate training to Landfill operator's personnel to ensure no Hazard Class 1 to 3 wastes are disposed of in the landfill cells.

Landfill operation is permitted through Russian State

Sakhalin Energy complies with EU Directive 91/689/EEC except that the waste classification required under RF law differs in detail from that of the EU waste classification.

6. Council Directive concerning urban

waste water treatment

91/27/EEC (amended by 98/15/EC);

The objective of the Directive is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of discharges of urban wastewater and of wastewater from the agro-food industry.

In terms of SWM, EU states must provide general rules or registration or authorisation for the sustainable disposal of sludge arising from wastewater treatment and phase out dumping or discharge of sewage sludge into surface waters.

Council Directive on the disposal of waste

oils (amended by 87/101/EEC; 91/692/EEC; 2000/76/EC; 2008/98/EC)

These Directives apply to any mineral-based lubrication or industrial oils which have become unfit for the use for which they were originally intended.

EU Member States must ensure that waste oils are collected and disposed of (by processing, destruction, storage or tipping above or underground). They must give priority to the processing of waste oils by regeneration i.e., by refining.

Where this process is not used, other methods may be considered: combustion, destruction, storage or tipping. The Directives stipulate the conditions under which this must occur; in particular, they allow undertakings to collect and/or dispose of waste oils.

Used oils shall be stored in secure containers on assets sites until viable economic quantities are accumulated and then shall be handed over to the licensed contractor for further disposal (processing).

Article 4

Class of Landfill

Each landfill shall be classified in one of the following classes:

- landfill for hazardous waste;

- landfill for non-hazardous waste;

- landfill for inert waste.

The applicable class is “landfill for non-hazardous waste” regardless of waste origin.

Sakhalin Energy utilises municipal landfills in Korsakov, Nogliki and Smirnykh.

Municipal landfill operation is regulated by RF Sanitary Rules SP 2.1.7.1038-01.

Municipal landfills can accept all Class 5 (practically non-hazardous waste) and Classes 3 and 4 waste under a site and waste specific exception justified by evaluation of the impacts on the specific location involved. While the specific requirements and methodologies may differ the general principle is consistent with what the EU is targeting to achieve.

Annex II.3

General Procedures for Testing and Acceptance of Waste

Requires a tiered system of waste assessment covering basic characterisation, periodic compliance validation and inspection upon delivery. In fact at this time only on site verification is currently mandatory (Annex II.4) and sapling procedures are yet to be promulgated (Annex II.5).

Sakhalin Energy’s requirements respecting source based segregation and collection, waste tracking and documentation, and manifest verification on delivery to the landfill provide the basic check on acceptance. Classification is in accordance with Russian regulations.

RF regulations apply analogous requirements with respect to waste characterisation through the unified classification system and catalogue system as well as the establishment of waste limits by waste generators and annual reporting requirements. The main differences lie in the term over which the basic characterisation can apply

Annex III Control and Monitoring Procedures in Operations and Aftercare Phases

Annex III.2

Meteorological Data

Requires daily (operations) and periodic (post closure) meteorological data to be collected covering precipitation, wind, humidity and evaporation.

Sakhalin Energy has not made any provisions for collection of this data on a site-specific basis.

No meteorological data collection requirements are applied under Russian regulations.

Every Municipal area under RF legislation collects meteorological data from the RosHydroMet website according to the RF legislation.

Emission Data: Water,

Leachate and Gas

Control

Requires emission sampling and analysis on a monthly or quarterly basis during operation for surface water and leachate (volume and composition), and potential gas emissions (CH4, CO2, O2, H2S, H2)

Sakhalin Energy’s upgrade programme provides for regular sampling of sampling and analysis of surface water and leachate. The frequency is dictated by the capacity of the operator and local authorities having jurisdiction.

According to the RF legislation the Scope of work of environmental monitoring is defined by SanPin 2.1.7.1038-01 (Sanitary Norms and Rules).

None of the upgraded landfills initially (prior the landfills upgrade work) had monitoring provisions.

Every 2 years Operators of the landfills review Monitoring program and approve it by RTN and RPN which in their turn check the normative against RF requirements. After obtaining approval landfill Operators conclude contracts with the certified laboratory for sampling and analysis.
