Waste:
Any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard.
Waste Producer:
anyone whose activities produce waste (original waste producer) or anyone who carries out pre-
processing, mixing or other operations resulting in a change in the nature or composition of this
waste.
Waste Management:
The collection, transport, recovery (including sorting), and disposal of waste, including the
supervision of such operations and the after-care of disposal sites, and including actions taken as
a collection and sorting companies.
Collection:
Gathering of waste, including the preliminary sorting and preliminary storage of waste for the
purposes of transport to a waste treatment facility.
Prevention:
Measures taken before a substance, material or product has become waste that reduce:
(a) The quantity of waste, including through the re-use of products or the extension of the life
span of products;
(b) The adverse impacts of the generated waste on the environment and human health; or
(c) The content of hazardous substances in materials and products.
Re-Use:
Any operation by which products or components that are not waste are used again for the same
purpose for which they were conceived.
Treatment:
Recovery or disposal operations, including preparation prior to recovery or disposal.
Recovery:
Any operation the principal result of which is waste serving a useful purpose by replacing other
materials which would otherwise have been used to fulfil a particular function, or waste being
prepared to fulfil that function, in the plant or in the wider economy.
Recycling:
Any recovery operation by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials or
substances whether for the original or other purposes. It includes the reprocessing of organic
material but does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be
used as fuels or for backfilling operations.
Backfilling:
Any recovery operation where suitable non-hazardous waste is used for purposes of reclamation

1. Metrics
Metrics will be reported through the environmental metrics program which identifies
criteria that each contractor, operator or third party need to submit. Reporting
requirements for these metrics are described further in the associated forms attached to
this procedure.
2. Manifest
A comprehensive waste manifest must be maintained by each contractor, operator or
third party. The purpose of this manifest is to ensure all waste produced has an auditable
record of what waste was generated, who the legal transporter of this waste removal was,
where the waste was legally transported to and how the waste was recycled.

Hazardous Waste - Substances that pose a present or future threat to man and/or the environment
which are unwanted and economically unusable and that are ignitable, corrosive, chemically
reactive or toxic. The following hazardous wastes are expected in the construction project:
Non-Hazardous Waste - Non-hazardous waste includes any rubbish or recycling that causes no
harm to human or environmental health. Any waste generated by industrial processes or civil
activities that is not classified as hazardous. The following Non-Hazardous waste is expected in
the construction project.
Plastic Waste - All plastic waste will be collected and stored in large sealable containers. This
will help to prevent windblown debris from polluting the project area.
Storage system:
Non-hazardous and hazardous wastes will be stored separately in defined storage areas, and
where practicable, segregated according to waste type. Wherever possible, wastes will be stored
under cover, away from direct sunlight, wind and rain. In the case of non- hazardous wastes, this
requirement can be satisfied by the use of sealed containers, or containers that are covered with
tarpaulin or net. Hazardous wastes will be stored in bags, containers, tanks or drums. Storage
under cover or in larger sealed containers is important to protect the integrity of the container.
All larger storage containers will continue the waste color scheme, be adequately labeled and be
specifically designed for the purpose.
Hazardous waste will be stored at site storage in compliance with (PME Standard 13, Article VI,
and 2b, c) for up to 90 days at a main waste storage area.
Non-hazardous and inert wastes will be removed off site within a maximum of 6 months from
the date of receipt. Construction debris and construction waste generated during this project will
be collected and removed to the designated waste disposal area on a regular basis. Wastes will
not be allowed to accumulate such that the material presents a safety hazard for workers or
members of the public or create a nuisance to the community.
Hazardous waste will not be placed in containers provided for non-hazardous waste. Such errors
may lead to hazardous waste being handled as non-hazardous, putting the handlers at risk, or
may lead to the waste being improperly disposed. Care will be taken in ensuring the soundness
of individual containers, ensuring adequate labeling of both individual and bulk containers and
compatibility of packed waste. An inventory will be kept of hazardous waste containers.
As far as practical, the storage of waste will be kept to a minimum. This keeps the storage areas
more hygienic and reduces risks associated with the storage of larger quantities of hazardous
waste.
Storage areas for waste, especially for hazardous waste, will be secure, marked to indicate the
hazards of the stored material and be provided with suitable facilities for dealing with spillage
and firefighting.
Special care will be made for Medical Waste in accordance with Medical Waste and Health
Facilities in KSA.
Where incompatible materials are handled on the same project they will be kept separately.
Attention will be paid to ensuring that “wrong” tanks or containers cannot be filled and that in
the case of spills or other foreseeable accidents the risks of contact are minimized.
The table below illustrates the effects of some common storage incompatibilities.
Disposal:
Non-hazardous waste Non-hazardous waste generated through the project activities and
domestic waste will be disposed to approve landfill of Municipality which is currently the only
option available in this area to comply with government rules and regulations. Proposed
company for this service is Al Taufeeq General Trading Company (see appendix 14 for GAMEP
license) and Averda International (recommended by TRSDC as this is a service provider for
TRSDC as well). By disposing waste properly to the landfill and not leaving it on site, our
environment is cleaner, meaning there are fewer health risks and hazards around to affect us and
the marine environment.
Hazardous waste: Hazardous wastes can cause harm to the environment. Studies have shown
that improper disposal of hazardous waste can even affect humans via drinking water and food
consumption. If a hazardous waste is not properly disposed, it can easily enter the environment at
an undesirable rate. MAH is fully aware of the impacts of improper disposal of hazardous waste
and will dispose hazardous waste in compliance with TRSDC procedures and GAMEP
regulations which is to contract a GAMEP approved hazardous waste company. Proposed
company for this service are Global Environmental Management Services (GEMS) (see
appendix 14 for GAMEP license). Hazardous waste will be not allowed to store on site for more
than 90 days as per PME Standard 13, Article VI, 2b, c. This will be disposed by a GAMEP
approved company.
With spills onto soil the first steps often occur very quickly and unless the spill is large, may
only take minutes. Firstly, report to the site trained spill specialists. Clean-up to be undertaken
under guidance of responsible manager, before attempting any spill cleanup ensure the area is
safe to enter Check Safety data sheet (SDS). Adhere SDS instructions be Aware of fumes.
Approach from up wind. Always ensure personal protection equipment is worn.
WASTE MANIFEST
Disposal of the waste material including the contaminated soil and contaminated spill kit
material will be recorded through a waste manifest.
