liters, Premium gasoline 16,000 liters and Regular gasoline 8,000 liters. Operating 24 hours 3
shifts a day with 2 clerks and 5-6 pump attendants.

The total daily volume of water estimated consumption is 0.80 cubic per day.

I. OBJECTIVES

A. Provide concise and clear instructions to RM C PETROL employees regarding procedures

for protecting the environment and minimizing environmental impact.

B. Document environmental concerns and appropriate protection measures.

C. Compliance with statutory requirements and other environmental commitments.

 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

Health and Safety

Site Manager to ensure compliance with total Health and Safety / Emergency Plans /
Procedures / Manuals. The site should be fitted with the required health and safety warning
and information signage that is required and suitable for such installations.

And also complying the proper waste segregation and proper disposal in consonance
requirement with RA 9003.

Training and Awareness

A generic induction training course should be delivered to all new employees. Induction
training should include coverage of the Emergency Response Plan and Evacuation Procedures.
In addition, training should include basis first aid, firefighting and spill clean-up training (to
appointed representatives. A refresher training course should be delivered to all staff on an
annual basis.

Fire Prevention and Control

Smoking should be prohibited in the vicinity of flammable substances. Ensure the

availability of sufficient firewater tie-in points. Any welding or other sources of heating of
materials should be done in a controlled environment and under appropriate supervision.
Training should be provided in the use of the appropriate fire-fighting equipment. Ensure
availability of fire extinguishers and maintain regularly.

All employees must be aware of Emergency Response Plans to ensure an understanding

of the hazards and procedures required during an emergency situation. Ensure electrical
systems, such as pumps, are properly maintained to prevent sparks. Ensure fuel lines, hoses,
valves and nozzles are in good repair. Ensure that gasoline is not used as a cleaning.
 Tank, Pump and Pipelines

Daily checks on fuel levels in the tank together with a balance sheet must be used to
determine if there are unaccounted losses from the tank. Monthly inspection must include
visual inspections of all above ground fuel dispensing equipment on the site to check for
wear or damage. Visual and factory checks for possible product leaks should also be carried
out across the site (look for evidence of surface staining, dead vegetation, product odors’
etc.). Any suspected leaks or spillages (including unexplained variances) must be reported to
the main office immediately. Should any discrepancies in fuel volumes be recorded, a
detailed assessment must be undertaken and remedial measures implemented

Fuel Deliveries and Dispensing

To reduce spills and avoid fires, the following procedures must be used when
dispensing fuels. Never leave the area unattended when refueling even if automatic shut-off
nozzles are being used. Do not allow smoking in the forecourt and workshop area, especially
when handling fuels. Turn off vehicles while refueling. Support small containers so that they
don’t trip over during filling. During fuel tanker delivery, the tanker driver must be present at
all times during product offloading. Connect a bonding line between the storage tank and
vehicle before starting fill-up. Perform all fuel transfers outdoors to prevent fumes from
building up and creating a dangerous explosive environment. Follow Delivery Driver Manual
for deliveries of fuel.

Emergency Response

All incidents and emergencies must be addressed in line with the Emergency Response
Plan for the site. All incidents (fires, explosions, spillages, leakages, crimes) must be reported
immediately to the office; and Record(s) of incidents should be maintained and
communicated to near Bureau of Fire Office and contact list must be in place at the site in
order to contact Emergency Response as it is required.
Waste Water Treatment Plan

RM C PETROL has onsite sewage facility through a three-septic tank, each equipped by a
manhole cover and through which domestic waste water flows basic treatment. Settling and
anerobic processes reduce solids and organic but the treatment efficiency is only moderate or
referred to as “secondary treatment’. Waste water enters the first chamber of the tank called
digestion chamber, allowing solids to settle and scum to float. The settled solids are
anaerobically digested, reducing the volume of solids. The liquid component flows through the
dividing wall into the second chamber, the leaching chamber, where further settlement takes
place and further on to third chamber where the excess liquid, now in a relatively clear
condition, then drains from the outlet into the main sewer line.
The other primary waste water treatment facility employed is the oil & water separator.
With the use of oil & water separator, a heavier solid in the waste water is allowed to settle to
the bottom while oil rises to the top, leaving additional waste water in the middle layer. Sludge
can be scrapped away; oil can be skimmed off the top and waste water can move along to flow
into the main drainage line.
