2.01 INTRODUCTION

A. Criteria values are developed for air and water quality for disposal of solid, liquid
and/or hazardous wastes, dredging, for noise control and reporting to the Royal
Commission.

B. The criteria, limits or levels are considered to be realistic, based on current

information and environmental control technology. Future developments could
necessitate significant modifications. These criteria limits or levels will be reviewed
and refined as background knowledge and experience at Jubail and Yanbu Industrial
Cities (JIC & YIC) are accumulated.

C. The criteria values presented in this environmental regulation for JIC & YIC have
been reviewed in order to be in compliance with the criteria values stated in the
"Royal Commission Environmental Regulations" Volumes I and II prepared by the
Environmental Control Department, The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.

D. The criteria limits or levels identified are specific to the site of JIC & YIC and the
types and extent of industry to be established there.

E. Industries and other operational entities are required to report any violations of the
criteria contained herein to the Environmental Control Department of the Royal
Commission.

2.02 AIR ENVIRONMENT CRITERIA

A. General

1. The basis for the establishment of air environment criteria at Jubail and Yanbu
includes:

a) Existing air quality;

b) Climatology and dispersion meteorology;

c) Review of air quality standards for other countries;

d) Potential effects of air pollution on health and welfare of residents; AND

e) Projected amounts, types and locations of air emission sources.

B. Ambient Air Quality Criteria

1. Table 2-A-1 summarizes the air quality criteria for JIC & YIC. As the table
indicates, ambient air quality criteria have been established for ammonia
(NH3), benzene, carbon monoxide (CO), chlorine (Cl2), fluorides (F-),
hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), lead, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone
(O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and inhalable suspended particulate. The criteria for
each pollutant consist of one or more concentration limits, each with an
associated averaging period. For some pollutants, allowable exceedance
specifications permit a specified exceedance frequency and exceedance
concentration limit. Table 2-A-2 lists the ambient air quality guidelines value

Rev 0 2-1
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

for additional compounds with health impact and odor annoyance on World
Heath Organization (WHO) guidelines.

2. Table 2-B lists air pollutant emission criteria that apply to individual facilities or
point sources in JIC & YIC. As shown in the table, emission limits for asbestos
and particulate have been established for all facilities. In addition, emission
limits have been set for certain specific types of industrial sources. Control
methods to achieve the emission limits given in this table shall be included in
plant designs.

3. In cases, where an emission limitation for a given source is not specified in

Table 2-B, the source must apply Best Available Technology (BAT). BAT shall
be determined on a case-by-case basis taking into account control efficiency,
energy requirements, and capital and operating costs.

4. Chlorofluorocarbons

a) The operator of a facility shall phase out chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and

halons or any other substances defined by the Montreal Protocol (and
subsequent amendments) which are capable of depleting stratospheric
ozone. The total phase out of ozone depleting substances shall be
completed in accordance with the schedule and deadline stated within
the protocol. Venting of CFC's and other ozone depleting substances to
the atmosphere is prohibited except in the case of fire fighting.

C. Fugitive Emission

1. All affected components in Volatile Organic Carbon (VOC) or organic

Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) service shall be individually identified by a
specific number, service and location (e.g. metal tags, bar code). An updated
master list containing all the affected component shall be kept on site at all
times.

2. Open-ended valves shall be equipped with a cap, blind flange, plug, or a

second valve. The second valve shall always be closed except during
sampling.

3. Pressure relief valves equipped with rupture disks shall be equipped with a
sensor between the valve and the disk to detect leaks.

4. The operator of a facility shall monitor all affected components in VOC service
or in organic HAP service, except as stated in Table 2-D, on a minimum of
semi-annual basis, starting within 180 days of initial start-up of operations.
Following 2 consecutive semi-annual leak detection periods when the number
of leaking components is found to be less than 2% of the total, the operator
revert to annual leak detection monitoring. If the total number of leaking
components ever exceeds 2%, the facility shall revert to semi-annual
monitoring.

5. All components in VOC service or organic HAP service that register more than
10,000 ppm VOC and valves, flanges or connectors in organic HAP service
which register more than 500 ppm VOC shall be defined as leaking
components.

2.03 WATER ENVIRONMENT CRITERIA

A. General

1. The water quality criteria have been developed to protect the long term
resources of marine life and water supply in the Jubail and Yanbu areas.
These criteria have been established to minimize the impact on Gulf and Red
Sea water quality, the ecosystem and the local fishing industry.

Rev 0 2-5
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

2. General guidelines are as follows:

a) Industrial and municipal wastewater shall be segregated to increase the

potential for use of each stream;

b) Industrial wastewater streams shall be pretreated, to comply with

applicable standards, before discharging to a central treatment facility to
assure that the central facility receives only those wastes which can be
effectively treated;

c) The in-plant or overall pretreatment facility may be required to meet a

specific pretreatment effluent criteria. If required, the pretreatment
effluent criteria will be specified in terms of mass and/or concentration,
and the performance level will be based on the best available treatment
technology.

d) Direct discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater not meeting

the discharge criteria - see TABLE 2-F, TABLE 2-I and TABLE 2-J
(including polluted ballast and ship wastewater), hazardous materials,
and contaminated storm water is prohibited; AND

e) Only after reuse possibilities are fully exhausted, the discharge of

treated wastewater to the Gulf and Red Sea is allowed; this does not
pertain to waters drawn from the sea or cooling water canal for the
purpose of non-contact cooling water.

3. A situation may arise in which the condition of the cooling water drawn from
the sea exceeds or violates a criterion level for a controlled substance/pollutant
parameter for reasons beyond the control of the Royal Commission. In this
case, the industry would not be expected to remove or reduce this pollutant or
condition in order to comply with these guidelines. In other words, the user
would not be required to return cooling water to the canal or sea in a better
condition than which it was received. However, in the event an amount of a
controlled substance/pollutant parameter is added during the use of cooling
water, removal of this substance according to best available technology shall
be required. The treatment and monitoring of such a controlled
substance/pollutant parameter may be required on an individual wastewater
stream rather than on an overall combined wastewater stream.

4. 2 sets of receiving water guidelines and criteria, one for within the
Jubail/Yanbu Industrial Harbor and the other for sea water outside the Harbor
are described below.

B. Quality Criteria for Sea Receiving Water

1. The quality of sea waters adjacent to JIC & YIC shall be adequate to maintain
marine life, fisheries, human health, and other amenities. Criteria to achieve
and maintain these objectives are described as follows:

a) All waters in the sea shall be free from substances attributable to

wastewater or their discharges that:
1) Settle or form objectionable deposits;
2) Float as debris, scum, oil or other matter to form nuisances;

Rev 0 2-6
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

3) Produce objectionable color, odor or turbidity;

4) Injure or are toxic or produce adverse physiological responses in
humans, edible marine animals or plants; AND
5) Produce undesirable or nuisance aquatic life.

b) To achieve these goals, quality criteria for sea receiving water are
presented in Table 2-F.

C. Sea Water Intake Design Criteria

1. Sea waters will be used at JIC & YIC for industrial cooling and production of
desalination water. To minimize the environmental impact of the withdrawal of
this water and assist in reducing maintenance, the following intake guidelines
are presented:

a) The intake should be in an area of low density and/or diversity of aquatic

life;

b) Intake structures and approaching currents should not modify existing

hydrographic conditions significantly;

c) A complete fish and shrimp by-pass system should exist at the intake to
return live fish and shrimp to the Sea. If a complete bypass system is
not provided at the intake, approach velocities at the mouth shall not
exceed 30 cm/s to allow fish and shrimp to return to the sea by their own
swimming ability. The intake shall include provision to incorporate a
bypass facility at some later date;

d) Biocides shall not be added to the cooling water stream ahead of the
fine screens;

e) Intake structures shall include provisions for access ways to ports to

allow monitoring during operations;

f) Biological material that is screened and filtered should be placed in a

designated solid waste disposal area and not at the shoreline; AND

g) Artificial lighting shall be minimized within 100 m of the entrance to the

intake channel, if practicable.

D. Storm Water Runoff Criteria

1. The impact of storm water runoff may be significant because the dry period
proceeding precipitation is usually very long, potentially resulting in a large
accumulation of pollutants in the collection system. Accordingly, the "first-flush"
from this system could have an unacceptable impact on the receiving water
body.

2. The criteria for storm water runoff are as follows:

a) The first flush of rain (the first 30 mm) in process and storage areas
shall be collected and analyzed. If the water analysis is within the criteria
listed in Table 2-I, the water may be discharged into the storm water

Rev 0 2-7
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

drainage system. Otherwise, the water should be sent to the collection

pond for industrial wastewater system, or treated prior to sending it to
the storm water system. Collection ponds for the first flush from process
and storage area shall be independent of any other treatment ponds,
and they shall be empty and ready to receive the first rain at any time of
the year.

b) Clean storm waters which run off from grassed or recreational areas
outside the confined drainage area of the process and transportation
section of JIC & YIC may be discharged to the storm water drainage
system leading directly to the sea if such clean storm waters meet
criteria listed in TABLE 2-I.

c) Potentially contaminated storm waters originating from bermed storage

areas and from drainage along transportation routes within industry
property shall be contained and analyzed for acceptability before
discharging to the storm water drainage system as set out in TABLE 2-I.
If they do not meet these criteria, then the water shall be directed
through appropriate treatment facilities to meet pretreatment criteria.

d) Contaminated storm waters which run off from areas surrounding

process units and from areas around shipping points shall be directed
through appropriate treatment facilities to meet pretreatment criteria
before discharging to the storm water drainage system.

E. Pre-Treatment Criteria

1. Unless meeting the requirements of Table 2-F (Cooling Water Criteria), all
wastewaters must be discharged to the Royal Commission's Central Industrial
Wastewater Treatment Facility. All such discharges shall be pretreated as
necessary to comply with the wastewater pretreatment criteria specified in
TABLE 2-G and 2-H. If deemed necessary by the Royal Commission,
additional criteria limits and monitoring requirements on the combined or
individual wastewater streams from a pretreatment facility may be imposed.

F. Cooling Water Criteria

1. Waters drawn from the cooling water canal for use as once-through
non-contact cooling water may be returned to the cooling water canal provided
that the chemical characteristics of the water are not altered above the
background characteristics, except for temperature and residual chlorine.
Background characteristics are defined as constituent levels in the seawater
inlet canal at the point of intake from the canal.

2. The maximum temperature increase shall not exceed 5°C above the canal
intake water temperature, and the maximum and monthly average chlorine
residual shall not exceed 2 and 0.5 mg/L respectively in Jubail, and 0.3 and
0.2 mg/L respectively in Yanbu.

G. Marine-Related Discharge Criteria

1. With the establishment of a marine terminal at Jubail and Yanbu, there will be
a resultant impact in the area from ships calling at the port. To minimize the
impact that these ships will have on the surrounding marine environment, the

Rev 0 2-8
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

marine discharge guidelines are:

a) The discharge of untreated contaminated shipboard wastes and refuse

from vessels into coastal waters shall not be permitted. Retention and
storage of refuse aboard ship for later transfer to onshore facilities is
required.

b) Contaminated ballast water shall not be discharged into coastal waters.

Treatment shall be accomplished with either an on-board treatment
system or acceptable onshore facilities. The wastewater discharge from
these facilities shall conform to the criteria presented in TABLE 2-J.
Ballast sludges shall not be discharged to the sea. There is no
restriction on discharge of clean segregated ballast water which meets
the criteria listed in TABLE 2-J.

c) Slop oils or machinery drippings shall not be discharged into coastal

waters. These wastes shall be collected and discharged to appropriate
onshore facilities.

d) Special care shall be exercised to prevent oil spills. Catch pans shall be
installed under valves and hose connections. Supervision of the loading
or unloading operation shall be carried out at all times.

e) Floating booms shall be available for containment of spills from tankers

or barges at all times. Cleanup equipment, such as skimmers and
sorbent materials, shall be readily available to enable immediate
removal of spilled petroleum from the water and shore. Trained
personnel, familiar with various spill cleanup techniques, shall supervise
and direct cleanup operations.

f) A spill contingency plan shall be prepared for the Jubail and Yanbu
areas. This plan shall encompass the possible types of spills, and shall
detail alternate clean-up strategies and tactics in relation to both the
type of spill and the prevailing environmental conditions. The plan shall
also clearly identify the responsibilities of the organizations and
individuals contributing to the effort, and shall define the precise role of
each.

H. Groundwater Criteria

1. The operator of a facility shall not discharge to the sea, harbor receiving
waters, cooling water canals, surface water drainage channels or on open
ground any extracted groundwater which contains contaminants in
concentrations exceeding the limits in TABLE 2-I without prior authorization
from the Royal Commission. Such authorization will only be granted in
exceptional circumstances.

2. The operator of any new facility handling hazardous materials in quantities

exceeding 5000 kg at any one time, shall install a minimum of 3 permanent
groundwater monitoring wells prior to facility operation. These wells shall be
located so that representative samples of the groundwater that may be
impacted by the proposed facility operations can be obtained. The design and
installation of any groundwater monitoring wells shall be subject to review and
approval by the Royal Commission.

Rev 0 2-9
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

3. The operator of a facility with groundwater monitoring boreholes installed shall

monitor the groundwater quality annually (unless otherwise stated in the EPO)
and report the results to the Royal Commission. The specific parameters to be
monitored and reported shall be approved by the Royal Commission.

I. Potable Water

1. Desalination plants used for the generation of potable water shall abstract
water from the sea. The water quality criteria for the desalination intake water
are specified in Table 2-F.

2. The operator of the potable water system shall ensure that all potable water
distributed through the potable water system shall meet the potable water
quality standards in TABLE 2-K at the point of use.

3. The operator of the potable water system shall prepare and submit a report to
the Royal Commission documenting the potable water quality at representative
locations across the potable water system. This report shall be prepared and
submitted on a monthly basis. The information which shall be included in the
report is as follows:

a) Date and time of sample collection. The location of sample collection

shall be as specified in the EPO.

b) Analytical results for the potable water quality parameters as specified in

the EPO.

c) The number, frequency and explanation for the non-compliance events.

2.04 CRITERIA FOR MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES

A. Liquid and Sludge Discharges to Land

1. Irrigation Practices Criteria

achieved. All structures containing or contaminated with
hazardous wastes/residues shall be decontaminated or removed
at the closure of the impoundments.
7) The tracking of waste within or outside the site by equipment and
machinery shall be eliminated or minimized.
8) Surface water shall be diverted away from the surface
impoundment.

B. Hazardous Material Handling and Storage Criteria

1. These criteria apply to all hazardous materials, including liquid, solid and
semi-solid hazardous wastes. Hazardous materials are defined as those
which, because of the quantity involved, the concentration, and/or the
biological, physical, chemical or infectious characteristics, poses a hazard to
human health and/or the environment if they are improperly managed.

2. Hazardous materials have characteristics as listed in TABLE 2-Q.

3. The following guidelines apply to the storage and handling of hazardous

human health and/or the environment if they are improperly managed.
The characteristics that render waste hazardous are listed in TABLE
2-Q. The concentrations of the constituents that render waste hazardous
are listed in TABLE 2-P. Further, any solid waste considered to be
hazardous by MPE shall also be classified as requirements by the Royal
Commission.

b) non-hazardous waste: These wastes include solid and liquid, semi-

liquid or contained gaseous materials or wastes resulting from industrial,
mining and agricultural operations, and sludge from industrial,
agricultural or mining, water supply treatment, wastewater treatment or
air pollution control facilities, provided that they are not hazardous
municipal or inert waste.

c) municipal waste: Include garbage, refuse, food waste, office waste,

waste vegetation and other decomposable material resulting from
operation of residential, commercial, municipal, industrial or institutional
establishments and from community activities.

d) inert waste: Those waste which are not biologically or chemically active
in the natural environment, such as glass, concrete and brick material,
broken clay and manufactured rubber products.

2. Waste generators shall, through testing of the waste or knowledge of the

process by which the waste is generated, classify the waste according to
Section 2.05B.

C. Collection Criteria for Non-Hazardous Waste, Municipal Waste and Inert Waste

1. General

a) Collection criteria for non-hazardous solid waste, municipal waste and

Rev 0 2 - 18
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

a) Ignitable wastes with a flash point of less than 69°C; a material which is
liable to cause fire through friction, absorption of moisture, spontaneous
chemical change or retained heat from the manufacturing process; an
ignitable compressed gas; or an oxidizer.

b) Corrosive wastes with a pH less than or equal to 2, or greater than or

equal to 12.5.

c) A reactive waste which is normally unstable; reacts violently with water;

forms an explosive mixture with water; generates toxic gases, vapors or

l) Undigested raw municipal sludges.

2. The Generator of the waste shall always be responsible, if necessary, for the
retrieval, treatment, storage and safe disposal of the waste at his own cost.

F. Classification of Disposal Sites

1. Sanitary landfill sites shall be classified in terms of the wastes that may be
deposited in them and the degree of security that they provide against the
escape of pollutants. Sites may affect containment through natural soil and
geological characteristics, and/or they may be engineered to prevent the waste
constituents from entering the environment via surface water, groundwater or
the air. The following describes the features of the 3 landfill types:

a) Class I-Disposal Site (Hazardous Waste)

1) A Class I disposal site isolates solid wastes from surface water or
groundwater by means of a double liner system. Leachate and
runoff water from the fill sites are collected and treated before

Rev 0 2 - 19
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

being allowed to leave the boundary limits of the fill area. (The
tested leachate/runoff effluent must meet the criteria given in
Section 2.03). Surface water runoff is prevented from entering
the landfill cell. Each landfill cell is equipped with leachate
monitoring wells. The disposal site is required to have
impermeable and stable foundations and embankments, the site
must be fenced and designated as off limits to the public.
Additionally, the site is surrounded with a minimum of 1 up
gradient and 3 down gradient groundwater monitoring boreholes.
Primarily, a Class I disposal site is to be used only for the disposal
of hazardous wastes which are physically, chemically and
biologically compatible (see Section 2.05) with the wastes
deposited in the landfill and the landfill liner. The disposal of any
liquid wastes (or wastes containing free liquids), biodegradable
wastes, or hazardous wastes that may generate leachate shall be
prohibited. Drumming of some hazardous wastes may be
required.

b) Class II-Disposal Site (Municipal Waste and Non-Hazardous Industrial

Waste)
1) A Class II disposal site must be above the highest groundwater
elevation and be lined with an impervious material to prevent
direct contact of the wastes with surface water or groundwater.
Surface water must be diverted from entering the landfill cell. All
runoff and leachate from the cell must be collected and treated
prior to being allowed to leave the boundary limits of the site.
Separate landfill cells shall be established to segregate
non-hazardous industrial waste from municipal waste. Before
being discharged from the disposal site, leachate must satisfy the
criteria for wastewater discharge (including treatment if
necessary) given in Section 2.03. Each landfill cell is equipped
with landfill gas monitoring and venting system. The site must be
fenced and designated as off limits to the public. The disposal site
is required to have stable foundations and embankments. The site
is surrounded with a minimum of 1 up gradient and 3 down
gradient groundwater monitoring boreholes. Primarily, a Class II
disposal site is to be used for municipal waste and non-hazardous
industrial solid wastes which are physically, chemically, and
biologically compatible with the waste deposited in the landfill and
the landfill liner. The disposal of liquid wastes or wastes
containing free liquids in a Class II site shall be prohibited.
Industrial solid wastes may be required to be segregated from
municipal wastes in order to abate or eliminate leachate
generation.

c) Class III-Disposal Site (Inert Waste)

1) A Class III disposal site is above the highest groundwater
elevation. Surface water adjacent to the disposal site may contact
the waste material. No provision to divert, contain, or treat surface
runoff from the site is needed. The site must be fenced to prevent
small objects from being blown away from the site and is
designated as off to the public. Only Class III solid waste material

Rev 0 2 - 20
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

may be disposed of in a Class III disposal site, i.e. inert solid

waste.

G. Pollution Control

1. Sanitary landfill site shall be selected, designed and operated to alleviate the
following hazards:

a) Contamination of surface water and groundwater.

b) Air pollution from unauthorized burning, careless handling of fine

material, dust from equipment operation and disposal of unauthorized
volatile material.

c) Nuisances created by noise, dust, blowing debris, odor and careless

transport and handling procedures.

d) Health hazards created by the breeding of vectors.

e) Occupational hazards to site workers as a result of careless practices

and disposal of unauthorized wastes.

2. Landfill sites shall incorporate the following design and operating features:

a) Comprehensive geologic and hydrologic studies to ascertain the

character of the underlying strata, including permeability and porosity,
groundwater gradients and level fluctuation, potential for leachate
migration, groundwater quality, and current and potential utilization of
aquifers.

b) A superficial survey, including stormwater run-off run-on, permeability

and attenuation potentials of soils, hydrology, availability and suitability
of cover material.

c) Screening of the site operations from public view; adequate space for
waiting vehicles on site; weighing, reception and control facilities; and
security.

d) Leachate containment, monitoring and collection facilities; groundwater

monitoring system; gas monitoring system (Class I and II sites only).

e) Diversion of runoff around the active site zone; facilities to collect runoff
from the active zone; prevention of waste contact with groundwater
(except Class III sites).

3. Class I and Class II landfill sites shall be operated so that:

a) No burning is allowed (Class III included).

b) Restricted materials, as defined in Section 2.04, are not deposited at

these sites.

c) Incompatible wastes are not placed in common cells (see TABLE 2-M).

Rev 0 2 - 21
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

d) Authorized hazardous wastes are accompanied by a manifest

document, and the deposit location of each type will be recorded by
accurate survey. Deposit is restricted to Class I sites and will conform to
criteria for hazardous waste handling (see Section 2.05 D).

e) Operating procedures including monitoring, safety and emergency

procedures approved by the Royal Commission are followed.

f) Surface runoff from the active part of the site is collected for point
discharge and is held for monitoring and treatment, if required. The
quality of water discharged must conform to point source criteria (see
TABLE 2-I).

g) Leachate is to be collected and recycled to the fill area by underground

distribution systems; and/or treated on site; and/or discharged to the
sewerage system, provided pretreatment criteria are observed
(TABLE 2-G and 2-H). Leachate holding ponds are to conform to the
criteria for hazardous waste impoundments (Section 2.05) and shall not
create odor nuisance.

h) Refuse is to be spread and compacted as received, and is to be covered

with soil daily.

i) Sludges and other wet materials will be mixed in an appropriate ratio

with dry waste to absorb moisture.

j) Class I sites shall comply with the contingency plans specified for
hazardous materials handling.

k) Completed portions of the landfill are to be finished with final cover to

support vegetation, and vegetation is to be established (Class II and
Class III only).

l) Post-closure control will include maintenance of fill areas and vegetation

to minimize erosion (Class II and Class III only). However, Class I sites
will be capped with an impermeable liner and stone mulched to prevent
erosion. Monitoring of groundwater for 30 years, or as required by the
Royal Commission, is to be conducted to ensure that any subsequent
leachate escape is detected and corrected.

4. The operator of an industrial and hazardous waste treatment or disposal

facility shall develop and follow written schedule for inspecting all waste
storage and treatment areas and associated monitoring, safety and emergency
equipment. The schedule of inspection shall address the probable risks that
are associated with the type of industrial and hazardous material storage and
treatment.

5. The operator of a treatment or disposal facility shall report to the Royal

Commission every month, the following information:

a) Name of facility generating the waste.

b) Description of the waste disposed.

Rev 0 2 - 22
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

c) If required by the Royal Commission, analysis or literature data on the

physical and chemical composition and hazardous properties.

d) Quantity of waste disposed for the time period in question.

e) Dates of disposal.

f) Method of treatment and disposer of the waste streams.

H. Other Disposal Methods

1. General
1) Other methods of treatment and disposal may be utilized either as
complete disposal or reclamation techniques, or as pretreatment
to make wastes suitable for discharge to sewers or disposal in
landfill sites. These procedures shall be governed by the current
Royal Commission Environmental Regulations Criteria
established for air and water pollution, noise abatement and solid
waste handling and disposal. In no case shall raw waste be
dumped onto the land, be discharged to the water courses,
disposed of in coastal waters, or be burned under uncontrolled
conditions. For disposal of dredged materials, see Section 2.05 I.

2. Thermal Decomposition

a) Wastes may be destroyed or reduced in volume, using incineration or

pyrolysis equipment and procedures which conform to the foregoing
criteria. Incineration must be used for the disposal of:
1) Wastes containing organic solvents in excess of 5% by weight.
2) Wastes containing in excess of 50 mg/kg PCB or 1000 mg/kg
halogenated organic compounds.

b) The incineration of hazardous wastes shall be proven effective by

means of a trial burn, which shall be monitored and subject to analysis
of ash residue, exhaust gases, fugitive emission, combustion
temperature, residence time, combustion efficiency and other physical,
chemical and biological characteristics. Subsequent operation of a
proven destructive burn shall be monitored and shall meet the criteria
listed in Table 2-B.

c) The operator of an incinerator shall only burn hazardous materials

specified in the facility Environmental Permit to Operate.

d) The operator of an incinerator shall operate such a unit with a system

that automatically cuts off the hazardous material feed when operating
conditions deviate from those established in the Environmental Permit
Operation for the specific unit.

e) The operator of an incinerator shall keep record of the composition and

quantity of all hazardous material burnt in these facilities.

Rev 0 2 - 23
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

3. Composting

a) Composting may be employed to reduce the volume of organic waste

for subsequent disposal and to reclaim cellulose material as a soil
conditioner. The process utilized shall be compatible with local
conditions and shall ensure that nuisance is not created by blowing
debris and compost, or odor. Hazardous wastes shall not be
incorporated in compost.

b) Residual material from the composting process shall be land filled and is
not allowed to accumulate and create nuisance.

4. Resource Recovery

a) The reclamation and reuse of scrap and waste material shall be

practiced to the greatest extent feasible. Particular priority shall be given
to:
1) The use of scrap vehicles to supplement the charge for the steel
plant; utilization of steel production slag as construction
aggregate; manufacture of sulfuric acid from waste sulfur;
reclamation and reuse of solvents; reclamation of metals from
sludges; reclamation of lead from accumulators, and recycling of
catalysts. Waste products requirements as storage tank sludges
shall be returned to the industrial processes as much as possible,
to make full use of resources and reduce the quantities for
disposal. Where feasible, waste oil should be utilized as fuel or
feedstock.

b) Resource recovery operations shall be subject to the appropriate criteria

established for air and water pollution, noise abatement and solid waste
management.

I. Dredging Criteria

1. General

a) Dredging and dredged material disposal activities originating within the

Royal Commission boundaries will be subject to criteria for protection of
the natural environment, both in the short and long term. These criteria
serve two basic purposes, as follows:
1) They assure that physical features, sediment qualities, and
biological communities are identified, so dredging can proceed
without irreversible and significant detriment to the natural
environment.
2) They assure that offshore and onshore disposal sites are
identified which can accept dredge material with minimal
environmental impact.

2. Pre-Operational Screening of Sites for Dredging and Placement of Spoils

a) The likelihood that an environmentally significant community will be

damaged in a particular dredging or dredged material placement will be

Rev 0 2 - 24
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

assessed in advance of any dredging operations.

b) Alternative locations for dredging and/or placement of dredged material

may be put forth by the Royal Commission, in order to establish relative
costs during the bidding process.

c) If it is assessed that an environmentally significant community is likely to

be damaged, or that materials to be dredged are likely to be polluted,
pre-operational site screening of alternative sites to determine baseline
site conditions, and/or characteristics of the dredged material shall be
conducted.

d) This operational screening will be carried out in a manner which will:

1) Determine the practicality of optional dredging and disposal sites,
methods and equipment;
2) Establish whether the dredged material is to be considered
"clean" or "polluted," as discussed below;
3) Determine the seasonal factors requirements as weather,
spawning, migration and so forth, that could influence the timing
of dredging and disposal;
4) Establish the estimated volume of dredged material and the
duration of the proposed activity;
5) Determine the physical variables which will affect the distribution
of sediments during the proposed dredging and disposal
operations, including water currents and circulation, stratification,
and wave action wherever these are appreciable.

e) Materials may be considered clean, if they meet one of the following

conditions and pass the TCLP test a:
1) The dredged material is composed essentially of sand and/or
gravel, or any other sedimentary material composed of particles
larger than 0.50 mm.
2) The water at or near the dredging site is capable of supporting
fish, shellfish and other wildlife, and the biota associated with the
material to be dredged is of a healthy ecosystem (taking into
account the normal frequency of dredging).
3) The material has been subjected to a series of chemical and
bioassay analyses, and based on test results is not likely to be
detrimental to the environment at the disposal site.

f) Material which is obviously polluted or is of questionable quality (e.g.,

from areas with a history of pollution) shall be analyzed as follows, if it is
to be considered for dredging and placement:
1) Chemical Analysis
(a) Using total acid dilution and partial extraction or leaching
techniques, the fraction of the pollutants that may be

a
if the extracts concentrations are lower the limits listed in Table 2-O when conducting the Toxic Characteristic Leachate
Procedure, as established in U.S. EPA 40 CFR Part 261 Appendix 2.

Rev 0 2 - 25
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

released in the physical and chemical environments at the

dredge and disposal sites will be determined (see TABLE
2-R for typical pollutants).
2) Bioassay Analyses
(a) Tests will be conducted on organisms which are natural to
the sites, to establish toxicity. Toxic levels should be those
which result in a 50 % mortality rate over a 96-hour test
period.
3) Biostimulation Analyses
(a) Due to release of nutrients and other compound from the
dredged material, the potential for biostimulation will also
be considered.

g) This information on polluted sediments will, in turn, be used to determine

if:
1) Dredging of an area can be carried out without irreversible
damage to significant marine communities; AND
2) Dredged materials can be placed on land in accordance with
Sections 2.04 and 2.05 (with the exception that ponding of water
is permitted during settling of sediments).

h) Material which cannot be both removed and placed in accordance with

1) and 2) above shall not be disturbed.

3. Specific Criteria for Sediments and Supernatant Water

a) The numerical values presented in TABLE 2-R are to serve as

guidelines in evaluating the state of pollution in sediments to be
dredged, although the conditions actually existing at the ultimate
placement site will be significant in these determinations.

b) The levels of pollutants in dredged material shall either not exceed those
at the placement location, or not exceed 10% of the toxic levels as
determined by bioassay. The permitted levels of pollutants not contained
in TABLE 2-R will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

c) Supernatant (decant) water containing high levels of suspended fine

material, even if not polluted, shall not be disposed of directly to the
near-shore water (near-shore being defined as water within enclosed
bays or inlets, or within the 20 m mean low tide depth contour). Such
water either shall be retained with impermeable dikes until obtaining a
visual clarity of at least 0.5 m and then returned to the coastal waters, or
disposed of at or beyond the 20 m depth contour. Diked sites, and the
liquids contained, must conform to the criteria set forth for the discharge
of liquids and sludges on the land (see Section 2.04A), with the
exception that ponding of waters is permitted during settling of
sediments.

d) Silts or muds which will not be used for construction also will not be
disposed of directly to the near-shore water (as defined above). They

Rev 0 2 - 26
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

are to be handled in much the same manner as with the supernatant

waters described previously. A variance may be granted by the
Environmental Control Department to dispose these materials in near
shore water.

e) Offshore sites shall not generally be considered for the disposal of

polluted materials. In the case of disposal of materials determined to be
clean in accordance with TABLE 2-R, consideration shall be given to
the physical and visual effects of the operation, including but not limited
to, factors such as foaming, turbidity, discoloration, and floating material.

2.06 NOISE CONTROL CRITERIA

A. General

1. Criteria values given here are designed to protect the general public from
physiological or psychological impairment resulting from excessive levels of
noise. These criteria include environmental noise exposure limits to protect the
general public and to provide guidance for land use planning.

2. Occupational noise exposure limits to protect workers are given in the Royal
Commission Program Procedure for Public Health.

B. Environmental Noise Criteria

1. Environmental noise criteria have been established to protect sensitive human

receptors from physiological and psychological harm or annoyance. These are
summarized in TABLE 2-S. As noted in the table, the criteria do not pertain to
roadside areas affected by traffic noise. A separate set of criteria has been
established for roadside areas. This is given in TABLE 2-T.

2.07 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING, TESTING AND MONITORING GUIDELINES

A. General

1. For the benefit and well being of the present and future residents of JIC & YIC
and the surrounding communities, the Royal Commission has established
criteria to preserve and protect the quality of the environment.

2. The procedure described herein is designed to enable the Royal Commission

to assess the impact of sources of environmental pollution, and to ensure that
the environmental control criteria promulgated in earlier section will be
achieved.

3. In general, this procedure calls for sources of environmental pollution to:

a) Submit information prior to initial construction and before making any

modifications to existing facilities.

b) Submit information prior to initial operation of new facilities, and

changing of operation of existing facilities.

Rev 0 2 - 27
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

c) Perform emission and/or environmental monitoring.

d) Report monitoring data.

e) Prepare data analyses.

f) Provide quality assurance procedures, testing, documentation, etc.

4. The primary factors which have guided the development of this document were
the practicality of implementing the requirements and the costs which will be
incurred by the industries, by other affected entities and by the Royal
Commission. Particular emphasis has been given to pre-construction review,
as it is generally cheaper to forestall a problem than to fix it after the fact.

B. Environmental Consent to Construct (ECC)

C. At least 6 months prior to any new construction of an existing facility, the facility
owner/operator shall prepare and submit an application to the Royal Commission
regarding Environmental Consent to Construct. This application shall completely
describe the facility; the fuels and raw materials used and finished products
manufactured, and the waste streams generated.

1. The operator/owner shall notify the Royal Commission when process

construction of the facility is approaching 30 days to completion.

2. Certain facilities are exempted from the ECC requirements. These are:

a) Residential properties.

b) Retail outlets.

c) Office buildings.

d) Hotels and restaurants.

e) Existing facilities.

f) Modified facilities not requiring any construction.

D. Environmental Permit to Operate (EPO)

1. At least 6 months prior to operating new facilities, the facility owner/operator

shall prepare and submit an application to the Royal Commission regarding
Environmental Permit to Operate. This application shall be in accordance to
RCEG Volume 2.

2. The operator of an existing facility shall not operate the facility without a valid
EPO. Former Environmental Approvals shall be considered as EPO until a
new EPO is issued.

3. The operator of a modified facility shall apply for a new or amended EPO for
the following modifications:

Rev 0 2 - 28
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

a) Production increases above the previous approved value by 10% or

design of ground water monitoring wells will be determined
during the pre-construction design review stage of the
facility planning. The ground water monitoring program
shall, as a minimum, consist of the following:
(i) Samples shall be collected annually and analyzed for
all parameters identified in TABLE 2-V. Samples
shall be collected and analyzed (9 replicates) at least
semi-annually for the indicator parameters identified
in TABLE 2-V.
(ii) Water level measurements shall be recorded during
all sampling activities to determine ground water flow
direction.

d) Disposal of Solid Residue

1) Prior to disposal, all sludges and residues shall be listed for
characteristics and disposed of accordingly. Should the sludge
and residues be considered hazardous waste, requirements set
forth in subsequent sections shall be followed. In all cases, a
complete record shall be maintained of the results of testing and
final destinations of sludges and residues.

e) Inspection of the Facilities

1) The facilities shall be inspected on a monthly basis for general
integrity of the system (such as for leakage) as well as for safety

prevention of grazing.

T. Operational Data Analysis

1. In order to determine if significant changes in the environment have occurred

over time, the facility owner/operator shall compare monitoring data (as
specified by the Royal Commission) gathered during the operating life of a
facility to background (baseline) data gathered prior to the facility's start-up.

a) Ground Water
1) In order to determine whether a significant change in ground
water quality has occurred during the operating life of the facility,

Rev 0 2 - 44
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

the facility owner/operator shall perform a data analysis for

indicator parameters semi-annually. Should the data indicate a
significant change, the facility owner/operator shall notify the
Royal Commission within 30 days in the form of a Monitoring
Response Report. An "insignificant" result shall support continued
use of the standard ground water monitoring program.
2) Annual ground water quality monitoring data shall be compared to
background (baseline) data for each monitoring well. Should the
analysis indicate a significant change, an additional 5 samples
shall be collected from well(s) in question and analyses
conducted for those parameters identified as having changed
significantly. The results of this data shall be combined with
previous data gathered indicating a significant change of data
analysis. Should the re-evaluation of the data still indicate a
significant change, the facility owner must notify the Royal
Commission within 30 days in the form of a Monitoring Response
Report. An "insignificant" result shall be in continuation of the
standard ground water monitoring program.

b) Soil
1) The analytical data on soil samples (mean of 4 replicates)
collected and analyzed during the operating life of the facility shall
be compared to design calculations for the build-up of
constituents (e.g., metals, salts, and pesticides).
2) Should the mean concentration of constituents exceed the design
levels, 5 additional soil samples shall be collected for analysis for
those parameters shown to have been changed significantly.
3) Should the mean concentration of all 9 constituents exceed the
design levels, a Monitoring Response Report shall be filed with
the Royal Commission.

c) Runoff
1) The mean concentration (from 4 replicate sample analyses) of
parameters shall be compared to the criteria for discharge to the
central treatment facility, irrigation system, cooling water canal,
sea, etc.

U. Emergency Response Report

1. The owner/operators of facilities discharging wastewater to the land surface,

subsurface, or to land for irrigation purposes, facilities disposing of sludges on
the land surface, or facilities using solar evaporation ponds for disposing of
liquid waste, shall submit to the Royal Commission a written report within
10 days of an accident. The report shall include:

a) The name and location of the facility,

b) The time and exact location of the incident,

1. Quality assurance (QA) is a necessary component of any monitoring analytical

program. Field and laboratory personnel responsible for implementing the
monitoring program must guarantee the reliability and validity of the field data
and sampling procedures, data handling and reporting, and analytical
performance. Although responsibility for the quality assurance program rests
with the facility owner/operator, the Royal Commission or its authorized
representatives reserves the right to verify the data either by periodically
splitting samples or by analyzing a percentage of the samples and inspecting
the owner/operator's laboratory.

2. In the field, a QA program must include an evaluation of appropriate sampling

procedures, maintenance of a field notebook, collection of representative
samples, and proper use of containers, labels, and preservatives. In the
laboratory, a QA program must include instrument calibration; preparation of
glassware reagents and standards; analysis of field and laboratory blanks and
replicate samples; and recording and reporting of the data.

X. Hazardous Material Management

1. It is the objective of the Royal Commission to develop procedures and

programs to ensure that hazardous materials, including hazardous wastes,
generated or located within JIC & YIC are properly handled and accounted for,
and that their on-site storage, transportation and final disposition onsite does
not result in contamination of soils, surface water or groundwater, nor pose a
threat to either human health or the environment. This section establishes
monitoring inspection and reporting requirements to fulfill the above objectives.

II. Noise Control

1. To ensure compliance with environmental noise criteria set forth in earlier

criteria, pre-construction review and operational noise monitoring programs
have been established. This Section describes the reporting, testing, and

Rev 0 2 - 54
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

monitoring requirements for noise.

JJ. Environmental Information Report

1. The noise control section of the Environmental Information Report shall

include, as a minimum, the following:

a) Number and type(s) of equipment to be used during construction.

b) Description and location of all planned major sources b of noise,

equipment and/or processes.

2. Depending on the size, location, and nature of the proposed facility, the
owner/operator may also be requested to include:

a) A noise monitoring plan that will be followed during construction and

operation of the facility, inclusive of a quality assurance program; AND

b) Estimated operational noise levels at the industry's boundary line, and at

several representative distances from the boundary line into residential
and/or other noise sensitive areas (these levels are to represent noise
due to that particular industry).

3. The estimated noise levels shall take into account the effects of source
directivity, atmospheric attenuation, structural barriers, earth berms, and
meteorological conditions. Noise estimates shall be made using a multiple
point source noise propagation model in conjunction with measured noise level
data and plant construction and operating noise source characteristics.

KK. Noise Monitoring Plan

1. As specified in Section 2.07 JJ, some industries may be required to prepare

and submit a Noise Monitoring Plan as a part of the Environmental Information
Report. During construction and operation, industries subject to this
requirement shall monitor noise from individual sources and at property lines.
The monitoring requirements for these industries are set forth in TABLE 2-DD.
The objective of the monitoring program is to determine the noise level while a
particular source is operating under normal conditions. The monitoring location
at property lines should be at the center of each property line facing the noise
source.

2. In equipment set-up, calibration, and monitoring, an industry shall follow the

manufacturer's operation manual and the general standard operating
procedures, as outlined in the Quality Assurance Section
(see Section 2.07 MM). All noise monitoring equipment used by an industry
shall meet the Specifications approved by the Royal Commission. [The Royal
Commission approves instruments with Specifications similar to the Bolt,
Beranek, and Newman Inc. (BBN) Model 614 Sound Level Meter, and the
Genrad Model 1982 Precision Sound Level Meter and Analyzer].

LL. Data Reporting

b
A major source is any source which would emit noise in excess of applicable criteria under uncontrolled conditions at a
distance of 1 m.

Rev 0 2 - 55
 CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL

1. All data collected by an industry should be reported to the Royal Commission

no later than 1 month from the completion of the data collection program. This
report should include analysis of the data with respect to compliance with the
established guidelines. Should an industry's monitoring program indicate
non-compliance, then that industry is required to submit an action plan to
correct the situation. Upon correction of the situation and having achieved
compliance, the industry will inform the Royal Commission, who may conduct
its own monitoring program to verify the compliance.

MM. Quality Assurance

1. Industries required to submit noise monitoring plans and obtain subsequent

noise measurements must provide appropriate quality assurance procedures.
Field operating procedures will follow appropriate instruction manuals as well
as the following operating procedures for environmental noise measurements:

a) Microphones at the measurement locations will be mounted on tripods

approximately 1.2 m above ground level. Tripods will be positioned at
least 7 m from all reflecting interfering surfaces, such as walls, parked
vehicles, trees or bushes.

b) Each microphone will be connected by a cable at least 10 m in length to

the sound level meter. Under normal conditions, the recording
instruments will be placed inside a vehicle to record data by a single
operator, to prevent operator activities from interfering with sound level
incidents on the microphone and for environmental (temperature)
control. The 10 m cables will allow sufficient distance between the
vehicle and the microphones to prevent significant sound reflection off
the vehicle.

c) Measurements will be made using "Slow" response.

d) The instruments will be calibrated immediately before and after use at

each sampling site, using the appropriate sound level calibrator.

2. The following supplementary data will also be recorded at each sampling site:

a) Dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, wind

speed, wind direction, and general weather conditions. In addition,
clearly distinguishable noise sources will be noted. Standardized data
sheets will be used to record all appropriate data.
1) Any hardcopy data obtained from the equipment used shall be
immediately stapled to the data sheet after monitoring at each
location.
2) Measurements will not be taken during adverse meteorological
conditions (rain or high wind speeds).

3. Each facility shall prepare a standard operating procedure (SOP) manual for
its noise monitoring activity. A laboratory and field activities log book will be
maintained. The log book shall also record activities such as; unusual
occurrences, calibrations, maintenance and repair of instruments.
