“Positive Impact” Program
Doc. # MGS-011

1. Management Standard
Global Asset Operations has developed and implemented and supports a “Positive Impact”
(Continuous Improvement) Program for those assets operated by Enron. The “Positive Impact”
program encompasses knowledge-based management using validated knowledge and experience
from operations and maintenance activities. The program does not grade success or failure but
instead focuses on weaknesses to improve and strengths to sustain. Personnel from all operating
assets actively participate in and sustain the process. Asset Operations with the assistance from
Global Development and Learning, provides training and oversight of the program to ensure the
longevity.

The “Positive Impact” (Continuous Improvement) Program is an internal, “learning from


experience” program that collects, analyzes and disseminates information from experiences into
lessons learned. The process is a self-discovery initiative that in the end state results in shared
knowledge, organizational learning, organizational change, improved performance and profit
improvement. It is designed to allow the operating facility team to evaluate projects using a
“critical path approach” to determine the successfulness of the project and the potential for
improvements. The results will generate “best practices” that will be shared across all assets.

2. Scope
This management standard applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its
contractors except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Corporate Resource Commitment


Enron Corp business units shall provide the resource required to build and maintain a “Positive
Impact” (Continuous Improvement) Program. The program will build on existing
programs/information systems, such as the Intranet and the auditing process, to actively
disseminate best practices and achieve continuous improvement.

This guideline establishes the requirements to be followed for providing a general outline for the
cleanup of spills and releases.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Depending on the nature of the spill, removal (remediation) of contaminated materials
(soils, etc.) may require a detailed plan, environmental monitoring and/or oversight from
an experienced professional. Operating Company Managers are encouraged to consult
with an environmental professional for additional guidance regarding the cleanup of
specific materials.

3.2 Considerations

Definitions
Doc. # ENV-004

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirement to be followed for establishment of the use of
common definitions and clearly communicated acronyms that enable personnel to communicate
clearly and succinctly.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Many terms are used as part of environmental management. Clearly understood
definitions are essential for assisting environmental communications. As used in the
following guidelines, certain words shall have limited meanings but shall have the same
meaning wherever they appear.

3.2 Considerations

Definitions
General Procedure is a procedure that is applicable to the entire facility.
May/Might indicates a suggested or permissible action that, if taken, will be acceptable
but which is possibly only one of several acceptable actions available to the line
organization in satisfying a given requirement or recommendation.
Pollutant is any substance or groups of substances whose release to the environment may
create an environmental detriment.
Noncompliance Incident is the actual or suspected release or discharge of a pollutant to
the environment in an amount or concentration that violates one of the discharge
limitations or general protection guidelines contained within the Company’s legal
requirements. This definition also includes the failure to comply with all permit
requirements including procedural requirements.
Procedure Effective Date is the date on which a procedure was implemented.
Must/Will, when used in a procedure, indicate a requirement that is mandatory. These
statements are usually written in terms of the final result to be achieved and are a direct
reflection of either a legal requirement or a specific company policy. Failure to comply
with such a procedural requirement will therefore result in a noncompliance condition.
Shall/Should, when used in a procedure, indicate a recommendation that is to be
followed unless there is an alternative action that will provide the same end result.
Generally, a "shall/should" statement is written in support of a mandatory requirement
(must/will statement) and offers a proven means of satisfying that requirement.
Specific Procedure is a procedure specific to a particular facility but having the same
importance as a general procedure.

Inspections
Inspections shall be conducted as follows:
Opening Conference: The formal part of the inspection begins with an opening
conference. This should be conducted in an office or conference room. This
conference sets the tone for the whole inspection and should be considered very
important. During the opening conference, the following should take place:
• Verify that the inspector is a true agency representative by requesting to see an
official identification card. If needed, confirm authorizations through the
agency’s office. Document all names and agencies present.
• Obtain information about the qualifications and experience of the inspector so
that appropriate information and explanations can be provided during the
inspection.
• Establish and document the purpose of the visit. If the inspection follows a
complaint, ask the inspector to provide a copy of the complaint (with the
complainant’s name concealed).
• Inform the inspector about the Company’s requirements concerning tape
recording, photocopies and the presence of Operating Company personnel during
the inspection.
• Establish an agenda and document who and what the inspector needs to see.
Photographs during the Inspection: The inspector may desire to take photographs.
If so, the representative should follow the following minimum precautions:
• Request duplicates or negatives of any photographs taken.

clarify the reason those areas or equipment were being photographed. Make
notes regarding what was photographed and why.
• Obtain acknowledgment from the inspector that notes describing the reasons for
the photos are accurate.
• Make notes about any unusual circumstances or weather conditions that may
negatively impact the visual interpretation of the photographs.

• Recalibration of monitoring equipment
The representative should show evidence of good faith by immediately responding to
these minor problems. Any responses by the representative to such problems should
be recorded.

Closing Conference: The closing conference provides an opportunity to obtain the


initial conclusions of the inspector and to correct any misunderstanding about the
facility’s operations. The representative should encourage the inspector to provide as
much feedback as possible by requesting a verbal summary of the inspection
including the inspector’s initial conclusions and probable follow-up actions.

facility environmental issues and performance including anticipated abnormal operating
conditions that may result in unusual conditions or environmental impacts. Examples of
events that should lead to communication initiatives are increased traffic, intermittent
noise (steam vents), responses to complaints or requests for information, permit renewals
or unplanned activities that may have impacted the local community.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
The following should be considered when developing site-specific environmental
procedures for community relations and communications:
Complaints
Complaints shall be referred to the Operating Company Manager and should be
responded to promptly. If a more thorough investigation is required and a delay is
anticipated, inform the party that additional time will be needed and provide updates as
necessary.
Depending on the nature of the complaint, additional assistance such as legal staff, media
relations, etc. may be sought from Asset Management (Houston).
Information Requests
It is common for local citizens and interest groups to occasionally request information
from industrial facilities regarding the environmental issues and risks associated with the
facility including requests for Material Safety Data Sheets, data reports on effluent
quality and emissions and general information regarding the environmental impact of the
facility. The Operating Company Manager or his designee should honor such requests in

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirements to be followed for providing general guidance for the
cleanup of spills and releases.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
The Operating Company is responsible for identifying potential spill events and
preparing plans to mitigate these accordingly. Such plans may include but are not limited
to the following:
• Procurement of containment equipment (booms, pumps, etc.)
• Formation of spill response teams and assignment of specific responsibilities
• Conducting routine mock drills
• Providing routine training for personnel commensurate with their responsibilities in
such an event
3.2 Considerations
Depending on the nature of the spill, removal of contaminated materials (soils, etc.) may
require a detailed plan, environmental monitoring and/or oversight from an experienced
professional. Operating Company Managers are encouraged to consult with an
environmental professional for additional guidance regarding the cleanup of specific
materials.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
In the event of a spill, determine the nature and extent of the spill or release using
Guideline ENV-015, Spill Response Actions. Before proceeding, ensure that all response
personnel have received appropriate safety training and are wearing appropriate personal
protection equipment. Stop or reroute operations of the affected equipment. Stop pumps
and close valves.
Notification
Contact with external agencies, the public and senior management should be routed
through the Operating Company Manager. The following entities shall be contacted:
• Notify the appropriate agencies or officials (Coast Guard, environmental agency or
ministry, etc.) and Enron management as outlined in the Emergency Action Plan or

3.3 Expectations/Requirements (Continued)


Spill Containment
Contain the spill as follows:
• Within a secondary containment structure, ensure that secondary containment valves
are in the closed position.
• On land, construct terrace dams or ditches and/or scatter absorbents, sand or hay to
absorb the spill.
• On concrete or metal work surfaces, scatter absorbents, sand or hay to absorb the
spill. If feasible, hydrocarbon spills may be routed to an oily water separator or
sump.
• On water, surround the affected area with containment booms. Sensitive areas
(beaches, estuaries, mangroves, etc.) and/or other structures (rocky tide breakers,
erosion barriers, piers, etc.) may require additional protection.
• In a public or shared ditch or trench, block drainage systems, sewer connections,
and overflow devices with covers if not equipped with mechanical valves.
Spill Cleanup
Conduct spill cleanup as necessary and/or as directed by the Operating Company
Manager or designee. Recover and collect the spilled material as follows:
• From a Secondary Containment Structure: If the secondary containment structure is
connected by a drain or valve to an oily water separator system (for fuel oil) or
neutralization tank (for acids/caustics) or sump, the material may be drained directly
to the separator or neutralization tank. However, consideration should be given to the
type of material and treatment rate (capacity) of the system. If the secondary
containment structure is not connected to a separator system or neutralization tank,
the spilled material may be pumped to approved drums or other storage vessels for
treatment or reuse. Never mix incompatible materials or activate drainage valves if
unfamiliar with drainage systems.
• From Land, Concrete and Metal Work Surfaces, remove soaked dirt, sand, hay or
other sorbents with nonspark shovels and other tools as appropriate. Collect
contaminated materials in approved drums or place materials in an approved
landform.
• From Water, use skimmers, pumps or sorbents to recover the spilled material and
store recovered material in approved drums or other storage vessels such as
temporary holding tanks.
Request the services of a spill response contractor, if necessary. A list of qualified
contractors is available in the Emergency Action Plan or Crisis Response Plan. Contact
the environmental professional in the Emergency Action Plan and/or Crisis Management
Plan for assistance.
Disposal of Contaminated Material
Arrange for disposal or treatment of contaminated material by an approved method
and/or contractor. Seek assistance from an environmental professional as needed. (See
Guideline ENV-051, Selecting Transportation and Disposal Services, for additional
information.)
Seal and label the drum or storage vessel with the name of the contaminated material
(i.e., Oil-Contaminated Sand) and the date.
Transfer storage containers to the designated waste storage area.

3.2 Considerations
Definition of Terms
Incineration is the controlled process in which combustible solid, liquid or gaseous
wastes are burned and changed into non-combustible gases.
Medical Waste includes disposable equipment, instruments and utensils such as latex
gloves or other protective clothing and hypodermic needles that may have been exposed
to a communicable disease through contact with blood or other body fluids as well as
pathological specimens. (See SAF-005 “Bloodborne Pathogens Control” for details).
An Open Dump is a land disposal site where solid wastes are disposed of in a manner
that does not protect the environment, are susceptible to open burning and are exposed to
the elements as well as scavengers.
Open Burning is the burning of solid wastes in the open, such as an open dump.
Reclaimed Material is material that is processed or regenerated to recover a usable
product. Examples are recovery of lead from spent lead acid batteries and the
regeneration of resin beds in water treatment systems using reverse osmosis.
Recycled Material is material that is used, reused or reclaimed.
Scrap Metal is bits and pieces of metal parts (i.e., bars, turnings, rods, sheets, wire) or
metal pieces that may be combined with bolts or soldering (i.e., radios, scrap
automobiles, etc.) that, when worn, can be recycled.
Sludge is the accumulated semi-liquid suspension of settled solids deposited from
wastewater or other fluids in tanks or basins. It does not include domestic sewage or
dissolved solids in water resources such as silt and dissolved or suspended solids in
industrial effluents.
Solid Waste is any garbage, refuse, sludges and other discarded materials resulting from
industrial and commercial operations and from community activities. Discarded
materials include but are not limited to materials that are collected for purposes of
recycling.
Spent Material is any material that has been used and as a result of contamination, can no
longer serve the purpose for which it was produced without processing.
Used or Reused Material is material that is either employed as an ingredient in an
industrial process to make a product or in a particular function or application as an
effective substitute for a commercial product.

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirements for determining if a waste is hazardous or
non-hazardous. The process of making such a determination is called waste characterization.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guidelines

3.1 General
The following recommendations for storage, treatment, transportation and disposal
practices are intended to supplement local regulations especially in countries where waste
classification systems are unavailable and transportation and disposal services are
limited. For more detailed information, refer to U.S.-D.O.T. Hazardous Waste
Identification Table 172.101 and the isolation and segregation tables.

3.2 Considerations
In lieu of using the U.S. EPA Hazardous Waste classification system, consideration shall
be given to regionally acceptable waste classification systems. Operating Company
environmental procedures should reflect local regulations and identify waste storage and
disposal alternatives specific to the Operating Company and location. This guideline
outlines terminology and reviews basic principles for the development of procedures to
ensure safety and efficiency.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
Classification of Hazardous Wastes
Waste shall be designated as U.S. EPA hazardous if it exhibits any one of the following
characteristics or definitions:
• Ignitability means the waste material has a flashpoint less than 140°F and/or is an
aqueous solution with an alcohol content greater than or equal to 24%. Typical
wastes exhibiting this characteristic are waste solvents and paint.
• Corrosivity means the waste material is a liquid and has a pH less than 2.0 or greater
than 12.5. Typical wastes exhibiting this characteristic are acids and caustics.
• Reactivity means the waste material undergoes rapid or violent chemical reaction
when mixed or exposed to water, shock, heat or pressure. Examples include
perchlorates, peroxides, and cyanides.
• Toxicity means that the waste material contains one or more of the toxic substances
listed in Table 3.1.1-1 in concentrations equal to or greater than the level indicated for
each substance. Concentrations are determined by the Toxicity Characteristic
Leaching Procedure (TCLP).
• Listed: A partial list of materials that have been specifically listed by the U.S. EPA as
“hazardous” is provided in Table 29.1. The complete list is available by request to the
Environmental, Health and Safety Department, Enron Global Asset Operations
(Houston).

3.3 Expectations/Requirements (Continued)


Determining if a Waste is a Hazardous Waste
Following are steps to be followed to determine if a waste is hazardous:
• Determine what, if any, hazardous characteristics are exhibited by performing a
process and/or laboratory analysis.
• A process analysis shall consist of an evaluation of the process from which the waste
is generated and a review of the material’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• This analysis shall be performed whenever the process or feedstock changes.
Non-Hazardous Wastes

A non-hazardous waste is any waste that is not a listed waste or does not possess the
characteristics of a hazardous waste as described in Table 29.1. Following are some
examples of methods of classifying wastes:
• Used oil is considered a non-hazardous waste unless it is mixed with a hazardous
waste.
• PCB-contaminated oil or debris is considered a toxic waste. Consult the section
entitled “PCB Management” for further guidance.
• Friable asbestos is considered a hazardous air pollutant. Consult the section entitled
“Asbestos Management” for further guidance.

Treatment Guideline Doc. # ENV-048

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirements to be followed by Operations personnel when
evaluating and implementing in situ treatment methods for waste materials generated during
routine operations.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
In situ treatment of certain waste materials is appropriate and encouraged provided that
they are designed, maintained and monitored in accordance with good environmental
management practices.

3.2 Considerations
The Operating Company Manager is responsible for ensuring that the design,
maintenance and monitoring activities of land farms and other in situ treatment methods
follow good management practice.
Land farms shall consider the following:
• Type of soil • Runoff control
• Depth of groundwater • Fertilization methods and techniques
• Type and amount of contaminants • Maintenance techniques
• Local maximum precipitation • Monitoring techniques and schedule

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
Applications
Small, superficial hydrocarbon spills and equipment leaks can be treated in situ.
Removing or excavating the contaminated soil may not be necessary and in some cases,
may be cost prohibitive. In these cases, the affected area should be routinely aerated and
fertilized. The soil may be periodically sampled and analyzed to determine the total
petroleum hydrocarbon concentration.
Larger land farms may be constructed on a designated area of land for more long-term
use. In these cases, it should be specifically designed so that its base has an impermeable
liner (either natural clay or geotextile membrane). Runoff shall be controlled, collected
and treated, as necessary, and periodic impact monitoring shall be conducted to ensure
that no groundwater impact has occurred.
These land farms may be used to dispose of routinely generated hydrocarbon sludge and
large volumes of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils for which other acceptable disposal
methods are costly, unavailable or otherwise unacceptable.

responsibilities for managing process wastewater.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Process wastewater is defined as any water used in the facility’s operations that comes
into direct contact with a raw material, product or pollutant. Contacted materials include
gas, oil, chemicals, heat, solid wastes, sewage and garbage. . This guideline outlines and
reviews basic principles for the development of procedures to ensure safety and
efficiency.

3.2 Considerations
Examples of process waters are as follows:
• Cooling water
• Filter backwash
• Boiler blowdown
• Cooling tower blowdown
• Wash water
• Oily water separator effluent
• Condensates
• Other gas processing, fresh water and brine used in the injection and withdrawal of
hydrocarbons from underground salt caverns
3.3 Expectations/Requirements
Identify process wastewaters generated at the facility and the method by which they are
disposed of or managed. At a minimum, all process water shall be discharged in a
manner consistent with the applicable local regulations. Management options may
include:
• On-site deep well injection
• Direct discharge into surface waters
• Discharge to facility-owned land surface
• Discharge directly to a publicly owned treatment works or municipal treatment
system
If an on-site method for managing a process wastewater is not available, the material can
be transported off site to a commercial facility for proper treatment and/or disposal (i.e.,
permitted, commercial injection well or municipal system). Water that is disposed of in
this manner must be disposed of as a solid waste and shall be handled in accordance with

3.3 Expectations/Requirements (Continued)


Some other considerations when managing process wastewater are as follows:
• Determine the quality and quantity of process wastewater discharges based on actual
analytical testing or the processes from which they are generated. This may be
facilitated by flow diagrams and water use descriptions.
• Ensure that the facility is properly authorized to manage and dispose of the
wastewater. Apply and obtain necessary permits, registrations, etc.
• Determine the monitoring requirements, parameters, limitations and recordkeeping
requirements.
• Develop and implement facility-specific wastewater management procedures that
address effluent sources, permits/registration(s), monitoring program(s) and
recordkeeping.
• Establish an effluent monitoring and recordkeeping program based on the fact that
sampling and analyses should follow standard methods including quality assurance
and quality control.
• Some environmental agencies require that analytical testing be performed by only
authorized laboratories.
• Ensure that personnel are appropriately trained in the operation and maintenance of
water treatment systems, monitoring programs and reporting requirements.
• If facility modifications result in a change in the quantity or quality of process
wastewater, the effluent must be reevaluated to determine its characteristics,
treatment/disposal options, monitoring and permitting requirements.

This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Air Quality Management requirements are generally source specific or facility site
specific. The type of industry or source, fuel, ambient conditions and local regulations
determines emission limits.

3.2 Considerations
Monitoring of emissions including in-line emissions monitors, stack or source testing and
ambient monitoring programs is determined by the environmental regulations to which a
facility is subject. It is Enron’s policy to conduct its business in compliance with all
applicable regulations.
New construction, facility modifications, expansions and the acquisition of existing assets
may be subject to stringent air quality regulations including those for permitting,
allowable emissions, monitoring and testing.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
“Greenhouse gas” is a term that is sometimes used to refer to atmospheric emissions of
carbon gases (CH4, CO2, halocarbons or CFCs,) and N2O. It is believed that carbon
emissions contribute to global climatic change, sometimes referred to as “global
warming”. As a result of this belief, many nations have committed to reducing their
annual production of carbon emissions.
Enron believes that such reductions, whether voluntary or mandatory, can be achieved
through market-based solutions and plans to offer the sale and trading of carbon
emissions in its portfolio of services. In order to undertake this business opportunity,
Enron must maintain an accurate inventory of its own carbon-based emissions including
methane (CH4) and must systematically apply and obtain credit for any realized carbon
emission reductions. The management of such an inventory program requires
cooperation and communication between all levels of management. This inventory will
reside in the Enron Environmental Database.
All facilities shall make reasonable attempts to ascertain its carbon-based emissions.
Tracking of emissions can be achieved through the implementation of the Enron
Environmental database.
Report any current or planned activity that affects the quantity of greenhouse gas
emission to Enron’s Global Affairs Group (Houston) for appropriate documentation and
reporting.

PCB Management
Notification Guideline Doc. # ENV-073

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirements to be followed by Operations personnel in notifying
the Regional EHS Manager of the existence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at Company
facilities.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Polychlorinated biphenyl’s (PCBs) belong to a broad family of organic chemicals known
as chlorinated hydrocarbons. The commercial production of PCBs began in 1929. They
were widely used as ingredients in the manufacture of heat transfer fluids, hydraulic
fluids and dyes as well as for cooling and dielectric fluids in electrical transformers, light
ballast and electrical capacitors.
In the 1970s, research concluded that PCBs pose a significant threat to human health and
the environment. Consequently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a ban
in 1979 against the further production of PCBs in the United States. Because of the
tendency of PCBs to migrate to other environmental media and progressively
bio-accumulate, the storage and disposal of PCBs and PCB-contaminated materials was
also strictly regulated.
Many countries around the world have since enacted similar regulations to restrict the
use, storage and disposal of PCBs. In a number of these countries, affected facilities
must inventory and quantify PCBs and implement a phase-out schedule for replacement.
Generally, materials are declared “PCB-free” if the concentration of PCBs is less than
50 ppm (<50 ppm). However, local regulations should be consulted to determine
compliance requirements.
Because PCBs were used extensively throughout the world, Operating Companies may
occasionally generate PCB waste. These may include compressor lubricating oils,
turbines and starting air compressors, cold weather valve grease (Rockwell valve grease)
and electrical equipment (light ballast).

3.2 Considerations
This guideline outlines terminology, responsibilities and reviews basic principles for the
development of procedures to ensure safety and efficiency.
Definitions:
Unless otherwise defined in local regulations, the following definitions shall be applied:
PCB Article - Any manufactured article other than a PCB container (as defined below)
that contains PCBs (50 ppm or greater) and whose surface has been in direct contact with
PCBs. This includes capacitors, transformers, electric motors, pumps, valves and pipes.
PCB Article Container - Any package, can, bottle, rag, barrel, drum, tank or other device
used to contain PCB articles or PCB equipment and whose surface has not been in direct
contact with PCBs.
PCB Bulk Product Waste - Fluorescent light bulb ballasts that contain PCB in the potting
material if the PCB content is ≥50 ppm at the time of designation for disposal.

Notification Guideline Doc. # ENV-073

3.2 Considerations (Continued)

PCB Container - Any package, can, bottle, bag, barrel, drum, tank or other device that
contains PCBs or PCB articles and whose surface has been in direct contact with PCBs.
An example of a PCB container is a drum that held leaking light ballast.
PCB Contaminated - Any electrical equipment including transformers, capacitors and
circuit breakers whose dielectric fluids contain PCBs in concentrations of 50 ppm or
greater but less than 500 ppm.
PCB Equipment - Any manufactured item (other than PCB container or PCB article
container) which contains a PCB article or other PCB equipment including microwave
ovens, electronic equipment and fluorescent light ballast and fixtures.
PCB Item - Any PCB article, PCB article container, PCB container or PCB equipment
that contains PCBs.
PCB Transformer - Any transformer containing PCBs in concentrations equal to or
greater than 500 ppm.
PCB Waste - Any PCB liquid (e.g. dielectric fluid) or solid (e.g. rags or soil) with PCBs
in concentrations greater than or equal to 50 ppm.
PCB-Free (No PCBs) - Items that contain less than 50 ppm PCBs.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
The Regional EHS Manager shall be notified of the type, quantity and concentration of
PCBs found as well as provide a schedule for planned maintenance to remove PCBs from
service.
The Operating Company Manager shall be responsible for ensuring that the facility has
obtained necessary local permits and shall seek assistance from the Regional EHS
Manager, as needed, to locate third-party transportation and disposal services.
Notification of such removal should be provided as far in advance as possible in order to
ensure the issuance of appropriate permits and conduct personnel training.

Potable Water Management
Quality Monitoring Guideline Doc. # ENV-080

1. Purpose
This guideline establishes the requirements to be followed by Operations personnel with
responsibility for administering programs to provide potable water to facility personnel,
contractors or to the public.

2. Scope
This guideline applies to all “Company” operated facilities, its employees and its contractors
except where superseded by more stringent local standards.

3. Guideline
3.1 General
Potable water, commonly referred to as drinking water, can be supplied from several
sources including on-site wells, vendor-supplied bottled water and municipality or
community water supplies.
This guideline outlines responsibilities and reviews basic principles for the development
of procedures to ensure safety and efficiency.

3.2 Considerations
Drinking water quality standards are generally established on a national level with
implementation and enforcement on a local level. In the absence of such national
standards, the guidelines for drinking water quality shall be determined by the World
Health Organization (WHO) in concert with local factors including the region, human
activity, type of treatment system, etc.
The Regional EHS Manager should be contacted to develop a monitoring program for
drinking water supplies intended for consumption by the general public or on-site
employees and contractors.

3.3 Expectations/Requirements
Facilities supplying drinking water shall meet appropriate safe drinking water standards:
• Vendor-supplied bottled water does not require additional facility testing.
• Drinking water from public water supplies does not require additional facility testing
if the source is regulated by the government.
• Well water and process water that is not intended for human consumption but is
available at faucets and sinks shall be labeled “Do Not Drink”.
• Well water and desalinization water that is used for human consumption shall be
tested in accordance with a safe drinking water monitoring program that should be
implemented if it is used to supply drinking water to more than 25 employees or if it
is sold, traded or donated to a public water supply.
• The Operating Company shall be responsible for developing and implementing
site-specific programs.
