5. WASTE ANALYSIS
5.1 Types of Waste
There are three general classifications of wastes, namely non-hazardous wastes, hazardous
wastes, and inert construction wastes. A waste material, for the purposes of this section, is a
non-gaseous material with no further primary use, which requires disposal.
(1) Hazardous Wastes
Waste materials are classified as hazardous wastes when they exhibit one or more of
the characteristics shown below or are hazardous by definition. The rules for handling
hazardous materials may be different from the rules for handling a non-hazardous
waste.
Hazardous Wastes exhibit one or more of the following characteristics.
Explosive
Flammable
Spontaneous Combustion Potential
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 5 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
Oxidizing Potential
Toxic
Corrosive
In addition to the above, certain wastes that do not exhibit any characteristics described
above can be hazardous wastes by definition. Soil contaminated by spilled
hydrocarbons is one such example; such soil is by definition a hazardous waste.
Medical wastes, radioactive wastes, sewage sludge and empty chemical and oil
containers are also, by definition, hazardous wastes. Oily waste and objects
contaminated with oil such as oil filters are always a hazardous waste as they are
combustible and such wastes include all fluids used for reducing friction in internal
combustion engines, vehicles, rotating machinery, pumps, etc. Wood or cardboard
crates or cartons that have been chemically treated are a hazardous waste by definition,
if not by characteristic. Paint wastes including all types of industrial coatings and
surface protective materials, which include oil-based and water-based paints, spent
thinners, wood preservatives, their containers, and paint removers and are hazardous
by definition if not by characteristic. Paint or solvent contaminated rags, brushes and
other related materials are also hazardous by definition if not by characteristic.
A hazardous waste may be made non-hazardous by removal of the hazardous
characteristic. Thus oily wastes- may be made non-hazardous by incineration of the oil,
providing, of course, the ash is non-hazardous. Wastes that have too high or too low of
pH may be made non-hazardous by neutralization, if that is their only hazardous
characteristic.
(2) Non-Hazardous Wastes
Non-hazardous-wastes are all wastes that are not hazardous wastes and are not inert
construction wastes. This includes common garbage, office wastes, construction
wastes that are burnable such as boxes, and treated sewage effluent and sewage
sludge.
(3) Inert Construction Wastes
Inert construction wastes are wastes that are solid and on disposal in a landfill are not
reasonably expected to undergo physical, chemical, or biological changes to such an
extent as to produce substances that may cause an adverse effect. Such wastes
include but are not limited to demolition debris, concrete, asphalt, glass, ceramic
materials, unpainted scrap metal, and dry timber or wood that has not been chemically
treated, but does not include hazardous wastes.
Note that hazardous or non-hazardous wastes, herein, cannot contaminate the scrap
metal and other wastes defined. Wastes contaminated with hazardous substances are
hazardous by definition.
5.2 Waste Identification and Categorization
The following provides a brief description of the waste types expected for most of the MD
projects and the waste categorization and selected disposal option for each waste.
(1) Oily Waste
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 6 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
Oily waste shall be collected in properly marked drums and transported to an
appropriate treatment/disposal facility.
(2) Paint Waste
Paint containers may be incinerated, recycled or cleaned by washing (using an
approved cleaning agent).
(3) Cement and Concrete Waste
This type of waste includes cement contaminated soils, as well as other cement and
concrete wastes generated during construction. Using it in other work locations or
returning unused cement to the vendor can minimize the volume of waste. Waste
concrete will be crushed and used as road material or fill, or buried in a separate landfill
site. Soils contaminated by cement can also be used, as landfill cover.
(4) Vegetation Debris
Vegetation debris with little or no commercial value will be:
Disposed in a location set aside for reuse by local populations as fuel or building
material.
Chipped (in the case of small trees and bush) and used as a soil additive or bulking
agent for land treatment or composting, or spread over areas to be reclaimed.
(5) Scrap Metals
Scrap metal will be sold for recycling, if possible. If reuse or recycling is not possible,
the scrap metal will be buried in a suitable landfill. Scrap metal that has been painted
shall be incinerated, and then land filled.
(6) Wood Waste, Pallets and Packaging Materials
This category includes small scrap wood, plywood and wood shavings, cartons, planks,
thick cardboard, damaged cable drums, wooden crates, polyurethane, pallets and
waste materials generated in the carpentry workshops. These materials may be
incinerated and/or land filled.
(7) Glass
Broken glass, glass, which cannot be reused at the job site and glass fiber, will be
collected in a container painted BLUE and either recycled to glass manufacturers,
where practical, or sent to a landfill. If the glass has been contaminated by food or other
materials and not cleaned, it shall be incinerated and either disposed in the landfill or
recycled.
(8) Plastics
Plastic waste includes - polyethylene bags, plastic scraps, plastic bottles, etc. This
waste material will be collected in a container painted BROWN and transported for
disposal by incineration or recycled after compaction. Plastic that has been
contaminated by food or other materials and not cleaned shall not be recycled, but shall
be treated as an incinerable waste.

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
(9) Grit Blasting Waste
Waste generated during pressurized grit blasting work on pipes and steel plates, etc.
The spent grit will be collected in the most effective manner as grit or sand particles. If
the grit blasting waste has been contaminated with paint or non- metallic materials, it
shall be handled as a hazardous waste. If not, it can be reused for filling of land
depressions or buried in the landfill.
(10) Batteries
MD will attempt to recycle waste batteries. Batteries include lead acid batteries, nickel-
cadmium batteries, and zinc-carbon batteries. All batteries are a hazardous waste if not
recycled. If the vendor will not take back the batteries, and there are no local recycling
facilities, then the batteries will be stabilized and stored then disposed off in the client
approved waste landfill without incineration. The storage facility will have a dedicated
container providing safe and secure storage to prevent site contamination.
(11) Tires
There are normally opportunities to recycle tires. For example, they can be ground and
used in asphalt paving materials. They can be cut up and used as shoes or sandals.
However, if no such opportunities exist, the tires will be incinerated and buried in a
landfill.
(12) Domestic Waste
Domestic waste is divided into two categories: wastewater and refuse.
(12.1) Wastewater
Wastewater is the liquid sanitary waste that has been fouled by a variety of uses in and
around the MD construction camps. Wastewater originates from kitchen and laundry
washings, and discharges from washbasins, bathrooms, toilets, etc.
The waste will be chemically treated to render it acceptable for discharge. Chemically
treated toilets will be used for construction camps. Sanitary wastes generated within
Shell compounds will be diverted through the sanitary sewer and drains to client’s
waste disposal facilities.
MD will ensure that the effluent from the chemically treated toilets and other wastes
meet the World Bank effluent criteria outlined in Table 1.

Source: The World Bank General Environmental, Guidelines, Pollution Prevention and
Abatement Handbook (Effective July 1998)
Average monthly concentration will be taken through sampling. The flow will be based
on 360/day of wastewater generate per person assigned to the MD camp.
Raw sewage and other wastewater will not be discharged into soil or surface water
without treatment. Treated discharge will either be to perennial surface waters (note the
100:1 dilution ratio requirement), to a subsurface absorption system, or to a surface
(e.g. sprinkler) absorption/evaporation system, a performed in a manner that avoids
erosion.
The dewatered sludge waste will be incinerated and the ash buried in the landfill
(12.2) Refuse
This consists of materials such as garbage, ashes, litter, grass, wastepaper and spoiled
or leftover foodstuffs. This waste shall be collected in designated and labeled closed
containers painted GREEN. Refuse will be collected and disposed of daily, in order not
to attract predators and scavengers. All components of this domestic waste shall be
sorted at source and the recyclable, non-biodegradable items shall be separated.
Hazardous materials and wastes shall not be disposed of with this waste.
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 9 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
Recycling and/or reuse may minimize the volume of wastes to be disposed off. All
refuse wastes not recycled or reused, including non-burnable wastes, shall be sent to a
landfill approved by the local Regulatory organization.
(13) Medical Waste
Medical waste fall into several categories as described below. The medical staff is
responsible for supervising the collection and destruction (if in small quantity) of these
wastes. This includes wastes from sub-contractor on site clinics. These wastes should
be sterilized and then stored in red biohazard bags inside sealed containers painted
RED before being incinerated. The medical waste will be incinerated separately and the
ashes sent to an approved hazardous waste landfill. The medical staff shall observe
medical waste incineration and the medical staff shall keep a log of all medical wastes
collected, sterilized, and incinerated. The log shall include the date, quantity, and
names of observers.
(13.1) Soiled Dressings
These materials will originate from the site infirmaries or Emergency Center from the
cleaning or dressing of wounds. They will include soiled crepe or cotton bandages,
plasters, swabs, etc., and will be handled carefully, using surgical gloves, to avoid the
spread of pathogens. This waste will be incinerated as medical waste.
(13.2) Blood and Blood Products
These are blood-related wastes, which may also include organic matter (flesh and other
body parts) and will be handled carefully to avoid contamination. Blood pathogen
handling kits will be available from the medical facilities for PPE. These wastes will be
incinerated as medical waste on site.
(13.3) Used Needles and Syringes
The needles and other sharp objects will be broken and stored in Sharps containers
before collection and incinerated as medical wastes.
(14) Used Solvents
MD will minimize the volume of solvent waste, as far as possible, by reusing solvents or
returning them to the supplier. All remaining solvents will be incinerated.
Note: Solvents will not be drained onto the ground or buried. Solvent spills to the
ground are to be remediated.
(15) Drums, Barrels, and Containers
Drums, barrels and containers may be disposed off by returning them to the vendor for
recycling, or by crushing them, incinerating them, and burying them in a landfill after
incineration. The local population can only use these articles, if they were fitted with
removable liners to prevent chemical contents from coming into contact with the
container walls. If such liners were used, MD will incinerate the liners and turn the
containers over to the local population. Drums, barrels or containers that have been in
contact with organic liquids or toxic chemicals will be emptied, crushed, incinerated and
buried in a landfill.

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
(16) Hydrotest Fluids
Where chemicals are added to hydrotest fluids, MD will minimize the amount of waste
reusing the fluid when possible. The MSDS of all such additives and fluids shall be
examined to determine the proper classification of the waste fluids. Surface discharge
of the fluids will be acceptable if the constituents meet the World Bank
Discharge Requirements, meet the criteria for non- hazardous wastes, and cause no
detrimental effect on surface water resources or ground water. This discharge will be
carried out in such a way as to prevent erosion and minimize impacts on vegetation.
(17) Radioactive Waste
Any radioactive source used for NDT of piping work will be returned to the supplier in
the original screened container at the end of its useful half-life for disposal. Such
sources will be stored in safe, secure X-ray source pits with appropriate warning signs
(Radiation Control Procedure JL56-PP-08-P38).
(18) Other Wastes
All other wastes shall have their classification determined in accordance with the
definitions given in this document and shall be disposed off accordingly. If there is any
doubt concerning which classification a waste falls under, then the HSE Supervisor
shall make the determination.
6. WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND DISPOSAL OPTIONS
All the wastes generated during the Construction and commissioning phases of all overseas
projects, ranging from the most inert to the most toxic shall be collected and managed in
accordance with this procedure.
6.1 Waste Inventory
The HSSE Manager will maintain a waste inventory to keep record of the types and quantities
of waste present at the job sites. This record shall be used to monitor the effectiveness of the
waste management program. The waste inventory shall be submitted to MD management and
client on a monthly basis if requested.
The MD and Subcontractor Site HSE staff will use the waste inventory each day to record the
types and quantities of waste generated. Similarly, the waste contractors will keep a log of all
wastes that is land filled, incinerated and or treated depending on the disposal option selected.
6.2 Waste Segregation
Given the complex nature of the waste, MD will undertake a waste segregation exercise
involving sorting and separating waste on the basis of its characteristics. Waste materials shall
be segregated at source by providing properly marked (with universal symbols and written in
English) bins
Project should colored all bins for storing the waste, sample waste bin color coding are as
follows:
Red: hazardous wastes
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 11 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
Green: refuse
Brown: plastics
Blue: glass
Special plastic bag type containers will be used for medical wastes.
Placing labels on bins which clearly describe, in English and international symbols, the type of
waste deposited in the bin and the precautions to be taken when handling the waste.
Proper placement of the various bins in offices, construction site, and mess centers clinics, etc.
Placing sufficient bins for each type of waste at each waste collection point, depending on the
variety and quantity of the wastes expected from each location.
Proper storage of the segregated waste.
Effective and timely delivery of the segregated bins to the waste disposal areas.
Appropriate treatment of the waste through recycling, reuse, incineration and/or landfill.
6.3 Waste Collection and Storage
All waste generated on site will be removed promptly to the waste depot. Sufficient numbers of
colored and labeled collection bins shall be located, in all waste producing areas. Each of
these containers shall have a tight sealing lid. No waste collection bin shall be allowed to
overflow before it is emptied, and waste storage receptacles shall be replaced promptly, in the
event of damage.
The main waste depot will be located in a central position. The depot collection facility will be
made of concrete, lined with polyethylene and fitted with an appropriate drainage line. (From
time to time any leaching will be analyzed if hazardous or if it can be rendered non-hazardous).
An overhead shade shall be put in place and the area properly fenced with provision for waste
reception. The waste depot shall be kept tidy, free of vermin, and continuously fumigated and
sanitized with appropriate disinfectants.
Hazardous wastes shall be segregated from non-hazardous wastes and shall be kept in a
separate lockable fenced area.
6.4 Waste Transportation System
Solid wastes will be collected in specially marked containers, as previously identified. Solid
wastes will be collected regularly and transported to the appropriate disposal site.
Sanitary wastes will be transported to the underground sewer collection system where
possible. Construction sanitary wastes in camps will be handled in chemical toilets.
Contaminated soils will be collected by earth moving equipment, loaded into trucks, and
transported to remediation or disposal site.
6.5 Waste Disposal Options
All disposal options will be contracted out to waste contractors approved by the appropriate
organizations and recognized by the Client.
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 12 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
To achieve this goal, the facilities described in the following subsections will be utilized.
(1) Landfills
Inert construction wastes will be land filled in a landfill outside the landfill utilized for
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. The appropriate Government Regulatory Body
shall approve these landfills.
(2) Surface Discharge
All wastewater discharged to a local water body will meet the liquid effluent criteria
identified in Table 1. The volume and concentration of the waste stream will be
reviewed relative to the quality and capacity of the receiving water body insures that the
disposal stream can be adequately absorbed into the receiving stream.
(3) Land Application
Land application of organic wastes is a viable method of reduction and disposal of the
organic waste materials. Land application includes land farming and land - spreading
and incorporates biodegradation of the organics materials using the in situ
microorganisms. Land farming involves controlled, repeated application of waste on a
soil surface in order to biodegrade organic constituents in the waste and includes
periodic tiling to provide mixing and oxygen transfer to the soil.
Land spreading utilizes the same principles as land farming, but the waste is applied
only once.
(4) Neutralization/Stabilization
Some wastes may be neutralized before further processing. This will allow the wastes
to be treated further and may remove them from the requirements of hazardous waste
by controlling the pH or eliminating the corrosive characteristic.
Chemical stabilization and cement based processes are utilized to solidify and/or
stabilize wastes (especially metal wastes).
(5) Reclaiming/Recycling/Reuse
All wastes will be reviewed to maximize the reclamation or recovery of materials
through on-site processes or with outside contractors. Specific examples of this are the
recycling of drilling mud and the recovery of waste hydrocarbons.
After all reclamation options have been investigated, reuse of the materials will be
evaluated. Recycling/reuse may be in the same, alternate or downgraded service. A
specific example of this is the use of drill cutting waste for roadbed construction.
(6) Burial
Burial can be an acceptable option for disposal of small quantities of inert waste
materials. This option should be reviewed carefully relative to the waste material and
the soil conditions at the burial site.
7. WASTE HANDLING AND MONITORING
JL56-PP-08-P52 Rev A, Sheet 13 of 16
Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
Any worker or subcontractor employee who handles any type of waste will use Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate to the type of waste involved.
The HSSE Manager will supervise the assessment, monitoring and handling of the waste
generated in this project. All personnel who will be handling waste (especially hazardous
waste) shall be trained in Hazardous Chemicals & Substances Procedure (JL56-PP-08-P33)
and regarding the proper use of MSDS.
MD will develop and implement a waste tracking mechanism to monitor waste from the point
of generation to final disposal. This tracking mechanism shall be subject to daily checks to
ensure that all waste generated for a given day are effectively tracked, collected and treated.
7.1 Waste Minimization:
The first and most preferred option of waste minimization is source reduction. Source
reduction is any activity that reduces or eliminates either the generation of waste at the source
or the reduction of toxicity of wastes from a process. The next preferred option is reuse. The
third option is recycling which is the reclamation of the useful constitutes of a waste for reuse,
or the use or reuse of a waste as a substitute for a commercial feedstock or as a feedstock in
an industrial process. The fourth option is recovery that is extracting materials or energy from
a waste for other uses. Together, source reduction, reuse and recycling comprise waste
minimization.
Examples of suggested waste management practices, by applying the rule of the “4Rs”
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recovery are depicted below:
(1) Reduce - less waste at source or reduction of toxicity through more efficient practices
such as:
- Inventory control and management
- Process modification or design change
- Materials elimination
- Material substitution
- Process modification
- improved housekeeping
(2) Reuse - materials or products that are reusable in their original form such as:
- Drums/containers
- Blasting grit
- Excess chemicals
- Metal off cuts
(3) Recycle - converting wastes into usable materials
- Scrap metal
- Waste oil

Project Jorf Lasfar Units 5&6 MITSUI & Co. and DAEWOO E&C
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE JL56-PP-08-P52
- Cardboard, paper, aluminum cans and wood
- produced water
(4) Recover - extracting materials or energy from a waste for other uses.
- Oil from sludge
8. SITE RESTORATION PROGRAM
The site restoration program will integrate waste management, landscaping, planting of trees
and grasses, and proper cleaning of the environment prior to MD site demobilization. Before
abandoning a site, MD, will initiate a site restoration program. Temporary buildings and other
facilities will either be demolished or left for the local population. Any waste that has not been
properly disposed of will be handled at this time. A re-vegetation program will be instituted to
return the sites to their original status.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING
Environmental concerns, including waste management, will be a part of the HSE Induction
training that every employee will undergo. At the end of this training, each employee will sign
an agreement to comply with the MD Environmental Policy and procedures with the
understanding that non-compliance could lead to dismissal.
Environmental Awareness Training shall be conducted annually to all employees while a bi-
annual training shall be conducted to all personnel that will be working or near hazardous
substances.
10. INSPECTIONS AND REPORTING
MD site HSE staff will conduct inspections of the waste producing sites and the waste storage
and treatment areas and report the findings.
HSE Supervisor shall conduct regular inspection and waste water sampling & analysis in all
waste water collection and temporary storage area; all finding shall be documented and to be
reported to HSSE Manager. No waste water generated from the construction site will be
discharge to environment (body of water e.g. river, sea, swamp, lakes) without proper
treatment or tested to be safe and will not harm any form of living things living in the
environment.
Waste water that does not classified as safe to disposed to environment shall be collected by
designated waste subcontractor and to be treated according to local environmental procedure.
Waste subcontractor shall be monitored by HSSE Manager if it is complying with the
environmental standard by regular audit and inspection of its waste water treatment facilities
and dumping area (Subcontractors Safety Management Procedure – JL56-PP-08-P08).
