1...................................INTRODUCTION TO IMPACT ASSESSMENT An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) means an examination, analysis and assessment of potential environmental impacts of new projects and major modifications of existing operations, with a view to ensure environmentally sound and sustainable development. In the EIA process all relevant significant environmental issues must be identified and duly addressed. Likewise, the possible impacts on employees, neighbouring communities and continued operation of ADNOC Group facilities must be addressed by including Health and Safety issues. This Health, Safety and Environmental Impact Assessment (HSEIA) will provide a true evaluation of all project Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) aspects. All efforts must be made to identify these issues at the conceptual stage of the project. For new projects it must be determined whether or not a project will require a complete HSEIA or be deemed deminimis. If assessed deminimis, it may proceed with the approval of the Group or Affiliate Company HSE Manager/Department Head. Otherwise, for those major, new projects an HSEIA will be required. The screening process to make a deminimis determination is based mostly on environmental impact assessment criteria. For such deminimis projects it is presumed that the existing company Occupational Health, Safety and Community Awareness Programs are sufficient. However, if the project fails the deminimis screening criteria and is deemed to be a major project, a full HSEIA is required. This issue of deminimis determination and the threshold values for the determination will allow flexibility while complying with the impact assessment requirement of Law Number 1 of 1997 on the revision of Law Number 4 of 1996 on the Establishment of Environment and Natural Life Research and Development Authority (ENLRDA). Likewise, it will satisfy the U.A.E. Federal Environment Agency (FEA) requirements. The deminimis and new project criteria are described below in this document.

2..............................................................REQUIREMENTS FOR HSEIA Unless otherwise specifically stated in this guideline: A Health, Safety and Environmental Impact Assessment (HSEIA) will be required for new hydrocarbon related projects and projects involving modifications to existing operations. This will include, for ADNOC, its Group Companies and Affiliates, at least the following: a)

Seismic surveys

b)

Exploration drilling

c)

Field development

d)

Well testing

Chalr/Rnc/18-2-97





e)

Producing operations

f)

Pipeline construction

g)

Terminaling and Loading operations

h)

Gas Processing & LNG facilities

i)

Petroleum distillation, refining, reforming, recycling

j)

Chemical and Petrochemical operations

k)

Marketing and Sales

l)

Power Generation and other utilities

m)

Potable Water Production

n)

Owned and leased buildings

o)

Waste treating, handling, storage and disposal operations

p)

Other projects with potential to cause significant harm or impacts to the environment or health and safety of our employees and neighbours.

HSEIAs are to be prepared for each of the four phases of a project. Each phase may be considered separately or two or more phases combined into an integrated document. Each HSEIA phase must be satisfactorily completed and approved before the project may proceed. It is intended that Phase I must be approved before the project moves to final design and tender. Phase II must be approved before construction starts. Phase III should be approved before construction starts and must be approved before operations begin. Phase IV which comes at the end of a project’s life should be addressed and approved before shutdown. Planning must allow for the time required to accomplish the HSEIA preparation, review and approval by ADNOC. For some projects it may be necessary for the Abu Dhabi ENLRDA and /or FEA, as appropriate to review and approve the HSEIA. The HSEIA is to be prepared by a third party that is independent of the project contractor or sub-contractor. This independent contractor should not be hired by the project contractor. The HSEIA Contractor should be hired directly by the Operating Company or Projects Directorate to avoid any conflict of interest. Projects addressed in previously approved HSEIAs or that are deemed deminimis (not major) as described in Section 4 may be exempted from this process.

Chalr/Rnc/18-2-97





3...................................................................................PROJECT PHASES For the purpose expressed in this document, it should be considered that a project consists of four stages. These are termed as Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV. These phases describe certain time periods during the conception, design, tender, construction, operation, decommissioning and site restoration of a project. Phase I: Conceptual Design and FEED stage (Front End Engineering and Design) of the project - included is all work up to the decision to go to final design and/or tender for the project. The Phase I HSEIA must be approved before the project may proceed to Phase II. Phase II: Construction phase of the project - commences at the end of the FEED stage and encompasses tender and award, mobilisation, construction, performance testing, acceptance of the finished project and demobilisation of contractor. The Phase II HSEIA must be approved before the actual start of construction. Phase III: Operational phase of a project - commences at acceptance from contractor of finished project for continuous operation. The Phase III HSEIA should be approved before construction starts but must be approved before normal operations begin. Phase IV: Shutdown phase of a project - the shutdown, mothballing, decommissioning, and/or removal or discontinuation of an operation, including site restoration. The Phase IV HSEIA should be approved before such decommissioning starts. Phase IV should be addressed in the Phase I and Phase II HSEIAs to assure the “design out” of decommissioning and site restoration issues. By addressing Phase IV up front, total project costs can be evaluated.

4........................................................DEMINIMIS DETERMINATIONS For purposes of this section a project may be deemed to have no impacts or to have minimal impacts. Such projects will be termed “deminimis” and will not require a HSEIA. To qualify for a deminimis determination a project must meet the following conditions of sub-sections 4.1 to 4.5. A project can be deemed to have “no impact” if all of the conditions of subsections 4.1 and 4.3 are met. A project can be deemed to have “deminimis impact” if all of the conditions of subsections 4.2 and 4.3 are met. A project can be deemed to have “deminimis impacts” if a procedure is developed, approved by ADNOC Group HSE Committee, and the procedure, which is to be strictly followed, is listed in subsection 4.4.

4.1.......................................................................................................................No Impact 4.1.1. There will be no change in the quantity or quality of existing emissions, effluents, or wastes will not result from the operational phase of the project. An increase in the amount or a change in the type or components of the discharges will be considered “new”. 4.1.2. No new infrastructure such as building, rebuilding or enlarging of camps, utilities, government services, roads, etc. will be required. [This does not include routine maintenance and refurbishment.] 4.1.3. All criteria of the ADNOC HSE Guidelines must be met for discharges to the air, land, surface water and groundwater during the project phase.

4.2.................................................................................Deminimis Impact Determination 4.2.1.........................................................................................................Construction During construction, reconstruction, plant turnarounds and start-up of a project that will create new emissions, effluents or wastes, the discharges to the air (excluding exhaust emission from construction vehicles), land, surface water or ground water shall not exceed: 4.2.1.1.

Noise

Maximum cannot exceed 115 dB(A) at worksite, weighted average cannot exceed 85 dB(A) 1m from equipment. Weighted average cannot exceed, at the closest point of public contact or the fence line, 60 dB(A) during day light hours or 40 dB(A) during non-daylight hours.

4.3.

Other Requirements of Deminimis Projects 4.3.1. The project, when combined with emissions to the air from other nearby sources within a 16 km radius, during normal operation, will not contribute to degradation of the ambient air by more than 5% for any one pollutant, nor will combined impacts from all area sources exceed ADNOC HSE Guidelines. 4.3.2. The project, when combined with discharges to surface water from other surrounding sources within a 5 km radius, during normal operation, will not contribute to degradation of the ambient surface water quality conditions by more than 1% at the perimeter of a 500 meter radius from the outfall and must meet ADNOC HSE Guidelines for discharges to surface water. 4.3.3. Any wastes injected to underground formations in onshore areas shall be injected to Dammam, Simsima or Umm El Radhuma or deeper formations. In offshore

Chalr/Rnc/18-2-97





areas these same formations may be used. Alternate formations may be used. However, the formation must have a seal /cap so as to prevent possible migration upward to usable groundwater as defined in the ADNOC HSE Guidelines. Offshore, the seal/cap must prevent migration upward to the sea. Alternate formations must be approved by ADNOC E&S Division. 4.3.4. On site construction shall not last more than 90 consecutive calendar days. 4.3.5. An existing building that is purchased or leased and was not purposely built for ADNOC, Group Companies or Affiliates and will require only minor refitting or decorating will be considered deminimis. [The intent here is to avoid the commissioning of buildings that have not reviewed and approved under the ADNOC HSEIA and ADNOC HSE Guidelines.] 4.3.6. The project is located more than 1.5km from a home, business, park, wildlife refuge, archaeological site, public road or other public accommodation area. [This distance criteria does not include other ADNOC industrial facilities, camps and housing. Likewise, it does not include a project that would be located within a designated industrialised park] 4.3.7. The project will not destroy local specimens of a threatened or endangered species or impact unnecessarily flora and fauna directly or indirectly through excessive discharges and/or habitat degradation.

4.4.

5. OVERALL IMPACTS: Each project must be reviewed for all four Phases for its contribution to the degradation of air, land, surface water, groundwater and flora and fauna when combined with all other sources within a 16km radius. It will be reviewed to establish the impacts and risks to employees, the community and ADNOC continued operations.

6. ADDITIVE IMPACTS: 6.1 For projects deemed deminimis, the contribution of that project to air, surface water, groundwater, and waste discharges as well as its impact upon social infrastructure, employee and community risk shall be considered additive. This data shall be provided to ADNOC E&S Division for inclusion in baseline data. 6.2 Multiple deminimis projects within a 8km radius that together exceed ADNOC HSEIA Guideline criteria shall require a HSEIA. For this purpose projects are additive regardless of calendar date built or ownership.
