SECTION 1
1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Damietta International Ports Company (DIPCO) is executing a 40-year concession to
construct, develop and operate a green-field container terminal within the Port of Damietta
on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast. The Port of Damietta is located 70 kilometers west of the
Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal and lies on the main trade routes between
Asia/North Africa and Europe/North America. The port’s location minimizes a containership’s
deviation from its travel route, thereby minimizing sailing time and operating costs for
transshipment activities. Located 191km from Cairo, the Port of Damietta can also effectively
serve Egypt’s growing import/export market and help shipping lines maximize capacity
utilization on its containerships. The project which will occupy approximately 130 hectares of
land at the port and developed in two phases will include the construction of new quay walls
and container stacking areas in order to service large post Panamax ships. The activities at
new container terminal at Damietta need to be conducted in a way that minimizes the
environmental damages. This project will generate environmental and economic benefits.
This project is classified as category "1" according to the African Development Bank (AfDB).
A project is classified as category "1" if it is likely to have significant adverse impacts that are
sensitive, diverse, or unprecedented. These projects may affect an area broader than the
sites or facilities subjected to physical works. For Category 1 project, the project sponsor is
responsible for preparing a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report and submits it
to the AfDB's review prior to launching the appraisal mission. Once the EIA has been
finished, the project sponsor will prepare an Environmental and Social Management Plan
(ESMP) (Internet Source: www.afdb.org). The ESMP is aimed at mitigating the possible
adverse impact of the project and for ensuring to maintain the existing environmental quality.
1.1 Legal and Administrative Framework

According to the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) environmental legislation of
1994 and according to the EEAA environmental guidelines for ports and marinas, each new
establishment or project as well as expansion of an existing establishment (which is the case
of the new extension of the Damietta port) must be subject to an “environmental and social
impact assessment” (ESIA) before a permit is issued. In this respect, DIPCO had assigned
Wataniya Environmental Services Co. Kuwait (WESCO) to conduct the necessary ESIA
study for the new port extension. EEAA has issued an environmental site approval permit
conditional on the completion and implementation of an ESMP. The ESIA also conforms to
Category 1 requirements of the AfDB’s Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment
Procedures.

Final Report
December 14th, 2008
Fig. 1.1: Location of Damietta Port
The project’s Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) was summarized in
the EIA report (2007). The ESMP consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring, and institutional
measures to be taken during implementation and operation to eliminate adverse
environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels.
Following a full EIA processes, culminating in submission of an EIA report, an ESMP may be
required as a condition of project approval. These ESMP would be based largely on the
mitigation measures proposed in the EIA, as well as any additional requirements (Lochner,
2005).
The purpose of the ESMP is to ensure that social and environmental impacts, risks and
liabilities identified during the Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) are
effectively managed during the construction and operation of the port. The ESMP will specify
the mitigation and management measures to which DIPCO is committed, and shows how
the Project will mobilize organizational capacity and resources to implement these
measures. The ESMP also shows how mitigation and management measures will be
scheduled.
The objectives of the ESMP is to bring the project into compliance with applicable national
EEAA environmental and social legal requirements and the African Development Bank’s
environmental and social policies with the view to outline the mitigating/enhancing,
monitoring, consultative and institutional measures required to prevent, minimize, mitigate or
compensate for adverse environmental and social impacts, or to enhance the project

beneficial impacts. The key objectives of the ESMP are to:

a. Develop a framework for the implementation of environmental and social
management initiatives outlined in the original ESIA study.
b. Develop a formal plan for disclosure and consultation of the environmental and social
management plan.
1.2 Structure of the ESMP

It is important to mention that, the ESMP will be structured in order to be an active and living
working document and ready to be used during the project life cycle. More specifically, the
ESMP includes the following components.
a. Approach to Environmental and social Impact management.
b. Project Description
c. Impact mitigation and management programs, which includes the social and
environmental positive and negative impacts, the mitigation measures and the
associated program such as Health, safety, environment & community program
(HSEC).
d. Organizational structure and HSEC Management programs, where description of the
roles and responsibilities for implementation and management of the community and
operational phases.
e. Environmental and social Monitoring Program including programs for regular
monitoring of all significant environmental parameters in order to check the
compliance status vis-à-vis the environmental laws and regulations.
f. ESMP schedule and estimated cost (if applicable) which include monitoring and
training schedules as well as cost estimate whenever possible.

SECTION 2
2. APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT
According to the EEAA, the management strategy for ports and harbors should demonstrate
that sound environmental practice should be followed during establishment, operation,
rehabilitation and end-use of the port (Abul-Azm and Rakha, 2002). This should include:
• Management of construction impacts, if appropriate, erosion and sedimentation
management and re-vegetation plans for areas distributed by construction activities.
• Management of operational impacts, if appropriate include details of materials
management on site, including hazardous and non-hazardous materials
management, air quality management, transport and parking management,
maintenance and site security plan, the contingency plans to respond to emergency,
incidents or any breakdown in the in environments performance.
• Strategies to feed information from the monitoring program back into the
management practices and action plans to improve the environmental performance
and sustainability of all components of the scheme.
• Training program for operational staff and incentive for environmentally sound
performance.
• An indication how compliance with licensing and approval requirements will be
achieved and due diligence attained
• If possible, reporting mechanism on environmental performance and performance
bond and relevant performance parameters.
2.1 Egyptian Environmental Regulations

Law No. 4, passed in 1994, is the main Environmental Law in Egypt concerning the
environment. This law established the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) as
the competent authority. The Executive Regulations of this law were set out in 1995. The
EEAA has the power to set criteria and conditions, monitor compliance and to take action
against violators of these criteria and conditions. Various decrees have also been passed
dealing with drainage of liquid wastes, and protection of the River Nile and other waterways
from pollution.
Law 4 dictates that the licensing authority must assess the environmental impacts of
proposed facilities. The assessment shall include a statement of all elements of the facility’s
self-monitoring system, and the expected contaminant levels. The Egyptian Environmental
Affairs Agency shall verify the foregoing whenever necessary (Article 10, Decree 338,
amended by Decree 1741 of 2005 (A10/D338, amended by D1741). The license application
must include comprehensive data about the facility, to fulfill the requirements of the form
structured by the EEAA and the Competent Administrative Authority (CAA) (A12/D338,
amended by D1741).
The EEAA must be notified of any expansions, modifications or renewals to the existing
facility or any work that might result in an adverse impact on the environment or workers.

Such expansions/modifications/renewals are subject to Articles 19, 20, 21, and 22 of Law 4
(A19/D338, amended by D1741).
2.2 Health, Safety & Environment Policy

The EIA report which was produced for Damietta project included a section on Health,
Safety & Environment (HS&E). The HS&E was dedicated to providing a safe and healthy
environment not only for the employees, but also for the customers and to ensure the
protection to the public and creating an environmentally, friendly atmosphere. The HS&E
policy was comply with IFC's Occupational health and safety guidelines and included
training, use of personal protective equipments and standard operating procedures.
The HS&E for Damietta aims also to ensure that DIPCO will run parallel to the standard
Damietta Port Authority (DPA), emergency and HS&E plan and policy. It is important to
mention that HS&E of DIPCO will comply with the DPA general HS&E policy and regulations
especially during operation phase.
2.2.1 Current HS&E and Emergency Plans and Situation for DPA:
Damietta Port Authority (DPA), in line with international standards for port operations,
maintains emergency response, fire protection and spill control procedures, equipment and
trained person. In order to study the current situation for HS&E at DPA, meeting was
conducted with the HS&E Department at DPA. According to the HS&E Department at DPA,
the active program now is the emergency response and fire-fighting program. Fig (2) shows
the location of the current fire-fighting facilities at Damietta Port.
Appendix I “in Arabic” illustrates the fire and Civil Defense plan. The plan indicated that, in
case of accident or fire, the main operational center in DPA will be notified. The Civil
Defense Unit has 5 Fire-fighting vehicles with capacity ranging from 2.5 to 7 Tons of water.
In addition to these 5 units, 6 small vehicles are ready for quick responses and logistics. The
document also illustrates all facilities for firefighting within Damietta Port buildings.

2.3 Oil Spill Contingency Plan

The National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) was prepared in 1986 by the petroleum
sector with some Canadian aid. The Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) then
updated it in 1998 with some Danish aid (Fig 3). The NOSCP is the national framework for
action in the event of an oil pollution incident. It is based on three levels of response called
tires:
• Tier One: is essentially the responsibility of and all offshore petroleum activities, oil
handling facilities, (offshore installations; terminals, refineries; etc), individual port
authorities and the Suez Canal Authority
• Tier Two: is essentially the responsibility of EEAA. Oil spill response with contingency
plans for geographical sectors of the Egyptian coast should be capable of dealing
with up to 1,000 tons each
• Tier Three: Handling spills larger than 1000 tons is the responsibility of EEAA to
coordinate the response to such major oil spills and establish a minimum level of pre
positioned oil spill combating equipment in accordance with the International
Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation,1990
Additional contingency plans have been drawn up by the Suez Canal Authority to respond to
spills within the Canal itself and its approaches at Port Said and Suez. The main four ports in
Egypt (Alexandria, Suez Port Said and Damietta Ports) have also developed contingency
plans (The International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Limited, 2005, The Country
Profiles)
It is important to mention that the Response Policy of the Oil Spill Contingency Plans in
Egypt is that, mechanical recovery of oil at sea is the preferred methods of response. Where
adverse weather conditions or strong currents preclude this, dispersant is permitted. The
port Authorities at the four main ports, all possess stocks of specialized equipments in order
to provide an immediate response to spill from vessels in the harbors.

2.4 DIPCO HS&E Plan:

Kuwait Gulf Link – Ports International (KGLPI) prepared a draft Environmental Health &
Safety and Security (EHS&S) policy which will be applied for Damietta Port (Appendix II).
The EHS&S includes 5 components:
a. Emergency Evacuation: which provides a plan for evacuation of all personnel in the
port operated facilities.
b. Emergency Notification: It Provides timely communication of emergency situations to
the proper Authorities, organizations, or departments in order to notify, alert, or
request assistance.
c. Emergency Preparedness: It identifies minimum knowledge, training and skills
required for port operated facilities as First Responders team to manage operational
emergency situations.
d. Military Threat policy: It purposes to ensure that personnel respond appropriately to
civil defense sirens, and
e. Respond to Emergencies: It aims to identify minimum knowledge, training, and skills
required for KGLPI First Responders to contain/control various Emergencies such as,
fire, rescue and hazardous materials-spillages.
It should be noted that these policies will be in compliance with DPA policies. The EHS&S
policy will be applied during both construction and operation phases. DIPCO is required to
fully coordinate with DPA and other authorities (such as Fire-fighting Department) during the
project life cycle.
2.5 ONSHORE WORKS CONTRACT HS&E POLICY:

The assigned contractor for HS&E onshore works is “ARCHIRODON Construction
(Overseas) Co., SA. They had issued full detailed Health and Safety Plan and Onshore
Works Environmental Plan. An updated Health and Safety plan was done and issued on the
20th of October, 2008. These documents explain the HS&E issues during construction of the
on works. Appendices II and III illustrates the HS&E and Environmental Plans for Damietta
Project.
2.6 ESMP Implementation Mechanisms

The mechanism for the implementation of the ESMP documents was as follows:
1. Reviewing the available documents such as:
a. Environmental Baseline and SEIA reports for Damietta project produced by
WESCO
b. Environmental Baseline survey (EBS) and DMP reports produced by
WESCO/ENSR
c. The ARCHIRODON Health & Safety and Environmental Considerations
d. KGLPI EHS&S documents.
e. Any other documents related to the site (Damietta Port) such as any EIA studies
done on other projects in the port (If available).

3. THE PROPOSED PROJECT
Damietta is an existing port that has been in operation since 1987. The Damietta Port
Authority (DPA) maintains emergency response, fire protection and spill control procedures
and equipment. The project will coordinate and harmonize with these procedures. Damietta
Port is fully committed to ensuring that all employees and customers are instructed in the
Healthy and safe work practices, and to maintain an environmentally friendly sound port.
Damietta Port will provide general training on policies and procedures to all employees, and
specific training on equipment, whether manual or motorized, and electrical to the
employees work situation.
The present project will involve the extension of the existing harbor area (Figure 3). The
proposed project will occupy approximately 130 hectares of land within the existing port.
There will be some dredging involved for the project, but there will be no changes on the
inlet itself.
The new developments include the construction of a new U-shaped basin with total new
terminals of about 2360 m. These new terminals berths will be able to accommodate giant
container vessels with maximum draft of 16 m, and a length of 400 m and a width of 53 m.
The Damietta port project will consists of:
a. Construction of new quay walls,
b. Dredging the access channel and turning basin,
c. Purchasing and installing the necessary cargo loading and offloading equipment
and
d. Developing the terminal storage area and container yards.
The approach channel and port are regularly dredged as part of maintenance dredging by
the DPA to a depth of 15 meters. As part of the project, the approach channel and turning
basin will be deepened to 18 meters to accommodate ships with larger drafts. Extensive
wave modeling study was conducted as part of the ESIA to investigate the impacts of the
port extension on the sediment accretion/erosion along the coast and sedimentation inside
the port. The study indicates that no adverse impact from accretion or erosion of the
coastline is expected due to the expansion of the current port.
Its estimated additional handling capacity will be of 2.5 million tones making the terminal
one of the largest trans-shipment facilities in the Mediterranean and the only ones capable
of handling the new generation of large containerships.
According to the EEAA guidelines of port and marinas construction projects, the proposed
project is classified as environmental category C or B. This implies that it wouldn't involve
significant environmental problems in any phase of its construction.

Apart from this, the project and the new extension is complied with prerequisites and
guidelines approved by the EEAA. This was based on the following facts:
The proposed land-use is permissible
The use is compatible with nearby land uses.
Environmentally sensitive or protected areas are absent in the region
The proposed project is a new development in an undeveloped area at Damietta Port far
from any urban area or public amenity. Large wetlands such as inland coastal lakes or fish
farms or are not common or known at the port area or its vicinity. There are no remarkable
tourist attractions, known historical sites, or archaeological assets near the port or the
proposed extension.

SECTION 4
4. IMPACT MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
4.1 Environmental and Social Aspects
Damietta is an existing port in operation since 1987nel. It should be recognized that as the
proposed project is an extension to the existing port, all land use for the new Terminal and
project falls within the existing port area; thus no new land acquisition or direct or indirect
displacement of people will occur. There are no protected areas or sensitive natural habitats
within the project area. The site is bare sandy land with minimal vegetation that has, in part,
been previously used for dumping sand from excavation within the port. There are no known
indigenous or cultural properties in the area. An archaeological survey conducted at the time
of the establishment of the original port did not discover any cultural property. Furthermore,
the area has been designated as having no historical importance. It is important to note that
there is a small section of the site that was previously used by the Egyptian military for
munitions storage. This area has been certified as free of munitions prior to handing over to
the project.
4.2 Impacts during Construction and Operations

Environmental issues in the port construction and operation primarily include the following
(discussed in detail in the ESIA Study):
a. Land Use
b. Dredged material management
c. Air Emissions
d. General Waste Reception, Waste Water, and Solid Waste Management
e. Hazardous Materials Management Noise
f. Water Quality
g. Biodiversity
h. Terrestrial Flora and Fauna
i. Socio-Economics
The proposed site for the new development is infertile bare land covered with very sparse
shrubs and bushes of no environmental value. There is no any land-use or public community
in this site except for using its northern parts as a dumping site for pilling up of some
dredged materials and solid wastes. There is also no valuable flora and fauna in or near the
project area. Appendix V summarizes the EIA issues, impacts and mitigation measures
during construction and operational phases.
4.3 Health, Safety, Environment and Communities (HSEC)

Impacts on community are expected to be minimal. Anticipated noise and dust are expected
to be within the permissible limits. No impacts on agricultural land or irrigation are expected.
No impacts on community water supply are anticipated as the port will secure its water
needs from the DPA and not the boreholes that supply the local communities.
QF34 Version No. 1

Page 11 of 34
Management
Final Report
December 14th, 2008
Given that the port is in a urban area, impacts associated with construction influx are
anticipated to be minimal. The sponsor will nevertheless coordinate with the DIPCO with
regard to increased traffic and develop Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) that
addresses all risks to communities associated with transport of material or cargo.
The Government together with the DIPCO will be responsible for overall security, and
access, to the port. Security guards will be trained in the security procedures.
The Health, Safety, Environment and Community (HSEC) policy is dedicated to providing a
Safe and Healthful Environment not only for the Employees, but also the Customers and
community, and to ensure the protection to the public and creating an environmentally
friendly atmosphere. The HS&E Programs aim at reducing and controlling hazards, and
minimizing the risk to the employees, and customers in accidents, injuries, and incidents.
4.4 Objectives of HSEC:

• The HSEC program is aiming at reducing and controlling hazards and minimizing the
risk to employees, customers and communities in the accidents, injuries and
incidents.
• DIPCO is fully committed to ensure that all employees and customers are instructed
in the Health and Safety work practices and to maintain an environmentally friendly
sound port.
• All employees and contractors will be aware of the HS&E rules.
• Safety rules will be posted for customers for the observation and follow up.
• The EIA report, gave a fully detailed on safety rules that will be followed during
stages of the project.
The following programs will be implemented and provided for all employees during project
life cycle.

SECTION 6
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MONITORING
The monitoring program will be carefully designed and related to the predictions made in the
SEIA and the key environmental and social indicators that would demonstrate the potential
environmental sustainability of the project.
The program outline will describe the following monitoring details (Abul Azm and Rakha,
2002):
The key information that will be monitored

• The monitoring locations, interval and duration
• Procedures to be undertaken if the monitoring indicates a non-compliance or
abnormality
• Internal reporting procedure and the links to management practices and action plan
• Reporting procedures to relevant authorities (EEAA, DPA, MOT) and if appropriate to
the consent authority and communities.
The following diagram represents the flow of information in the monitoring processes. Each
contractor will have his own HS&E system and team, who will be responsible for the
monitoring program for his section (such as marine or upland).
Fig. 6.1: Flow of Information with this Project

The contractor will then keep results of monitoring program in a form of hard and soft
versions. The hard version will be as log-book, while the soft version will be in a form of data
sheets. Each contractor will report to DIPCO on bi-weekly, monthly, seasonally and annually
bases. DIPCO will be responsible for QA/QC of the data and report any un-usual data.
DIPCO will keep all the mentoring data in a GIS Database information system. In this way,
there will be a uniformity of information system used. DIPCO will them produce reports.
These reports will be submitted to relevant authorities (EEAA, MoT and DPA) as well as to
the AfDB.
GIS database will be available any time and updated regularly.

Monitoring of the project will cover the different phases of the project, including, construction
and operational phases.

6.1. CONSTRUCTION PHASE MONITORING PROGRAMS:

The monitoring program during construction will cover the following areas:
• Coastal and marine Environmental monitoring program
• On-shore works environmental Monitoring Program (New Terminal location)
• Social and community monitoring program.
Each of these programs will be divided into different components which will cover the life
cycle of the project.
6.1.1 Coastal and marine Environmental Monitoring:

The EIA and Dredging Management Plan (DMP) reports identified the required monitoring
program during the construction phase.
The dredging contractor will be required to maintain a daily log book to record the disposal
volume of the dredged material by every load. The dredging contractor is also required to
submit certified allege tables, which relate hopper volume to depth in the hopper, for each
TSHD and disposal barge in operation at the project site. This information can be used to
audit the dredging rates and disposal operations.
The coastal and marine monitoring will include the following:

• Water quality monitoring plan at dredging sites
• Water quality at disposal site
• Marine Ecology at dredged and disposal sites
• Coastal impacts
Appendix VII illustrates the water quality monitoring plan during the dredging activities.
It is important to mention that Turbidity is considered the most important environmental
indicators during dredging activities. Since turbidity is the most important environmental
measures during construction and dredging activities, the following diagram shows the
turbidity contingency flowchart.

6.1.2 Onshore works Monitoring Program.

The onshore work monitoring program is included in the “Onshore Works Environmental
Plan” (Appendix V). The main environmental Parameters that will be monitor are:
Dust (Daily)
Emissions (SO2, CO, NO2) (monthly)
Noise (Daily)
Drinking Water (monthly)
The detailed on the monitoring methodology and frequency are present in Appendix V.
6.1.3 Monitoring Social and community Impacts

According to IFC Performance Standard 1, section 21 regarding Consultation in the Social
and Environmental Assessment and Management Systems (April, 30, 2006) “If affected
communities may be subject to risks or adverse impacts from a project, the client will
undertake a process of consultation in a manner that provides the affected communities with
opportunities to express their view on project risk, impact, and mitigation measures and
allows the client to consider and respond to them.”
The present project had no negative impacts on the surrounding communities. Positive
impacts are expected to the economy and social components due to the construction
activities where there will be an increase in employment activities. However it is proposed
that consultation processes will continue during the project life cycle. The consultation
activities will be at several levels as follows:
Local Community: At the local community level, numerous formal and informal information
sharing sessions about the project, will be held at various venues.
Government Authorities: From the beginning of the proposed project, DIPCO has kept each
level of government authorities (EEAA, DPA and MoT) informed regarding the different
aspects of the project. The communities in district in which the project is located will also
given the responsibility of being involved in the planning and implementation of the project
by using an integrated approach to address local needs and achieve sustainable
development.

APPENDIX VII
WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM FOR DREDGING ACTIVITIES
1.1 Turbidity/Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Thresholds

Law No. 4 for 1994, states that TSS from discharges to the marine environment
should not exceed 60 mg/l. However, it is not clear whether this standard applies
to short-term turbidity associated with dredging or dredged material disposal.
World Bank guidance requires limiting discharges to 50 mg/l for process
wastewater, domestic sewage and stormwater. There is no guidance specifically
for dredging and dredged material disposal. It should be noted that the EIA
stated that there are no specific sensitive environmental areas in the vicinity of
the dredging and offshore disposal sites.
1.2 Marine Ecology

The distribution of sampling sites has been arranged with some considerations to
fit the expected changes. The monitoring study will be concentrated on
measuring biological parameters (phytoplankton, zooplankton and bottom fauna).
Marine communities in the water column and in the marine sediments will be
studied. Phytoplankton and zooplankton communities will be examined in the
water column. Macrofaunal and meiofaunal communities in the marine sediments
will be documented.
Marine plankton nets will be used to collect the water column plankton
communities. Each net will be towed at the dredged and the disposal sites at the
minimum speed of the vessel. Van Veen Grab sampler will be used for collecting
marine benthic communities. Samples will be preserved in formalin after adding
Rose Bengal for staining the living materials. Samples will be placed in an ice
box for later examination.

1.3 Quality Assurance responsibilities

Project Quality Assurance (QA) Officer will have overall responsibility for quality
assurance oversight. The Project QA Officer communicates directly to the
Dredged Material Suitability Task Manager. Specific responsibilities include:
• Ensuring the QAPP is communicated to the project personnel,
• Reviewing and approving QA procedures, including any modifications to
existing approved procedures,
• Ensuring that QA audits of the various phases of the project are
conducted as required,
• Providing QA technical assistance to project staff,
• Ensuring that data validation/data assessment is conducted in
accordance with the QAPP, and
• Reporting on the adequacy, status, and effectiveness of the QA program
to the Dredged Material Suitability Task Manager.
The water quality monitoring plan will continue during the project life cycle.
The different stages of water quality monitoring plan are shown in
following tables.
1.4 Water Quality Instrumentation

The most efficient method to make the necessary measurements is to use a
multi-parameter water quality sonde to measure temperature, conductivity,
dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and depth within the water column. The instrument
should provide both internal recording of data as well as direct readout.
A detailed data sheet as produced by the manufacturer should be included in the

monitoring plan submitted by the contractor.
For the monitoring surveys, the instrument will be used in surface readout mode,
QF34 Version No. 1

attached to a V-fin or other downwater system, for deployment. The sonde will be
lowered over the full water column depth to generate vertical profiles and/or
towed obliquely to further characterize water column conditions. The data stream
will also be time/position tagged for later presentation.
1.5 Sample Collection and Handling

Water samples will be collected using a pump and tubing system. The intake for
the pump system will be connected to the instrument sonde, allowing for direct
measurement of water quality parameters at the time of sampling.
A diaphragm pump will be used in conjunction with fluoropolymer tubing (only if
chemical samples are needed). Following purging of the tubing, the pumped
water will be dispensed directly into the appropriate sample containers.
At the end of each monitoring event, analytical testing samples will be transferred
from the field team to the testing laboratories. A sampling and analysis plan will
be provided.
1.6 Reporting
Monitoring data will be incorporated into a survey report for each individual or
combined monitoring event and will include the following elements:
• Introduction noting background on the event and relevant thresholds
• Survey log noting timing of events and relevant information
• Overview figure showing the locations of monitoring and sampling
• Profile(s) of ADCP backscatter measurements supporting plume definition
and sampling locations
• Profile(s) of water quality measurements characterizing the water column
• Tables of laboratory results
• Brief discussion of results (with a contingency plan if a project specific
criterion has been exceeded)

The completed monitoring reports will be submitted to the project engineer within
a 10-day time period. However, should conditions (such as multiple surveys)
delay the completion of the report; the laboratory data will be transmitted alone
within the specified period.
1.7 Monitoring Events

It is estimated that a total of 31 monitoring events will be needed for this project
as detailed below and including the following:
• Six events at dredging sites
• 25 events at the disposal area (assuming dredging duration of 19 months)
• A contingency for additional monitoring is required based on changes in
dredged material, monitoring results showing significant observed
changes.
Prior to each event, background or ambient TSS and currents will be measured.
Background or ambient measurements shall be taken as close as possible to
specify monitoring locations but not within observed plumes from previous
dredging or disposal events. Each monitoring event will include ADCP plume
tracking to locate maximum TSS/Turbidity levels, and recording current direction,
tide level, water sampling, weather and sea conditions.
