1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This specification describes PDO's minimum requirements for managing wastes, which
result from PDO’s activities products or services, that have the potential to be hazardous to
human health or to harm the environment.
1.2 Changes to the Specification

The following overall changes have been made:
- The adoption of corporate specification template
- Updating to ensure that all the key requirements emanating from Omani environmental
regulations, SIEP GES and International standards to which PDO subscribes are
current.
- Additional supporting details contained in the above requirements will be made
available in this specification through a direct web-link to the document concerned.

(see section 1.6).
2.6 Performance Standards

Waste shall be managed in order to reduce its potential to cause harm to health or the
environment and to reduce its potential to affect operating costs or future liabilities. The
following Omani regulations apply for the handling of wastes within PDO:
- MD 17/93 for managing non-hazardous waste
- MD 18/93 for managing Hazardous waste
In addition PDO subscribes to the Shell Global Environmental Standards, of which GES
No.11 applies to both categories. This addresses four overall requirements covering:
- Proper disposal of all wastes by using, where appropriate, government approved
disposal sites, methods and contractors.
- Segregation and disposal; Hazardous waste shall be disposed of ensuring segregation
from other waste is maintained and disposal sites shall meet the appropriate World
Bank Standards
- Assessment of risks associated with leaching of hazardous compounds and build up of
metals when considering the use of land farming and putting in place appropriate
mitigation measures to manage the risks.
- Trans-national movements of wastes in accordance with the Basel Convention.
EP Ultimate Goal:
All waste streams shall adher to the following framework:
• Reduce waste streams at source (e.g. through design);
• Reuse waste streams;
• Recycle/Recover waste streams;
Ultimate disposal without negative impact on the environment
2.6.1 Non-Hazardous Wastes

Ministerial Decision MD 17/93 ‘Regulations for the Management of Solid Non-Hazardous
Waste’ Article 1.4, defines non-hazardous solid waste as any solid or semi solid material
which does not pose any danger to the environment or to human health, if it is dealt with in a
safe scientific way. MD 17/93 requires occupants of industrial premises to store and
dispose of non-hazardous waste such that there is no nuisance or hazard to public health.
The MECA shall issue licences for all solid non-hazardous waste treatment facilities and
sanitary landfills, with sanitary landfills also requiring an environmental impact statement.
The following requirements apply:
- Sites shall be designed, operated and maintained in a proper manner (Article 8) and
without creating any environmental or health hazard (Article 11)
- No solid non-hazardous waste shall be mixed with any category of hazardous waste.
(Articles 7, 13 and 17).

Revision: Version 6
- Articles 15 through to 17 relate to the preparation, production and implementation of a

Waste Disposal plan.
Additional requirements deal with the maintenance of records (Article 10), the registration of
all sites (Article 12) and site restoration after closure (Article 14).
PDO deals with two broad categories of non-hazardous waste namely domestic / office and
industrial. Requirements for both are described below.
2.6.1.1 Domestic and Office Waste

Domestic waste which include kitchen refuse and tree/grass cuttings, and Office Waste shall
be segregated at source for recyclable materials prior to transportation to a dedicated
licensed waste facility for recycling. The remainder of the domestic and office waste shall be
disposed of in PDO waste management facility or a dedicated MECA approved sanitary
landfill site.
2.6.1.1.1 Storage
Domestic kitchen refuse shall be stored in black-coloured bins lined with black or grey-
coloured refuse plastic bags. Recyclable domestic and office waste (paper, steel cans,
aluminium cans, printer toner cartridges and disused computers) shall be stored in
yellow-coloured refuse bins lined with yellow-coloured plastic bags (Article 6).
In locations where the waste generation is large, skips of suitable size shall be provided
and appropriately identified.
2.6.1.1.2 Collection
Compactor trucks of suitable size shall be used for the collection of kitchen refuse.
Tipping trucks equipped with netting or tarpaulin shall be used for the collection of
tree/grass cuttings.
2.6.1.1.3 Disposal
Self-contained field operations such as Seismic and Drilling camps shall dispose of
domestic waste at the nearest sanitary landfill site. If located within 50 km of a PDO
camp, the waste should be sent to the ‘waste management facility’. Alternatively,
domestic waste from these areas can be disposed of through an acceptable waste
disposal system such as a small landfill, mobile refuse incinerator or other method
acceptable to MECA.
2.6.1.2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste

Non-Hazardous industrial waste includes woods, empty drums, construction debris and non-
hazardous chemicals such sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
These waste shall be disposed of in PDO waste management facility or a dedicated MECA
approved sanitary landfill site. Non-hazardous plastic and metal drums shall be emptied,
cleaned and punctured by the user/waste generator. These containers shall be crushed prior
to disposal or recycling.
Other non-hazardous recycable material such as scrap metal and electrical cables are
handled via a different route a nd shall not be sent to PDO waste management facility.
