3 1 INTRODUCTION The proponent, OSHO Cement (Pty) Ltd (OSHO) is a new role player in the South African Cement Industry. OSHO proposes to develop a cement grinding facility (CGF) with associated infrastructure at the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ), which is located within the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in Port Elizabeth. The site identified for the CGF is approximately 11.5 Ha in extent. The purpose of the CGF is to produce cement. It is anticipated that the CGF would produce 150 tons of cement per hour with storage facilities accommodating up to 20,000 tons of cement and a combined storage capacity of 100,000 tons of clinker and slag (raw materials). This Environmental Management Programme was compiled as part of the Environmental Authorisation Process, required by NEMA, Act 107 of The EMP will look at the potential environmental impacts the proposed Cement Grinding Facility could have on the environment and which mitigation and monitoring procedures will need to be put in place to manage these impacts with the smallest environmental footprint possible. Further to this, the OSHO Coega Cement Grinding Facility will comply with all environmental guidelines and requirements as stipulated by the Coega Development Corporation (CDC). These guidelines include, but are not limited to: SHESD Standard Environmental Specifications for Construction SHESD Standard Occupational Health & Safety Specifications SHESD Standard Vegetation Specifications SHESD Construction Environmental Management Plan SHESD Guidelines for Contractors SHESD Guidelines for Engineers and SHE Coordinator CDC-OP-GD-001 Coega IDZ Safety, Health & Environmental Requirements for Potential Tenants OSHO, as the project proponent, has appointed GIBB (Pty) Ltd (GIBB) as the Independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to undertake the EIA for the proposed development, construction and installation of associated infrastructure. as well as to compile and review the Environmental Management Programme. 2

4 2 PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT To provide a set of standards that will be used for the Environmental management during the development of site establishment and the construction phase of the Cement Grinding Facility To provide the monitoring and mitigation procedures that will need to be enforced and adhered to in order to ensure that the smallest possible environmental footprint of the CGF on the site and surrounding environment is made. This EMP will also explain the roles and responsibilities of the Project Manager, Environmental Control Officer (), and the OSHO Environmental Specialist. 3

5 3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. 3.1 OSHO Environmental Specialist The OSHO Environmental Specialist will be responsible for ensuring that the EMP and associated Environmental documents or requirements are adhered to on the construction site. The Environmental Specialist will report diligently to the Project and the OSHO Project Manager.

Waste Management Activities in the construction site such as office work, usage of construction materials, etc., generate different types of waste that requires to be managed properly. These wastes could result in environmental pollution such as soil contamination/ pollution or health hazards to employees working onsite, if not managed properly. B.6.1 On-site waste management (a) Waste is grouped into general or hazardous, depending on its characteristics. The classification determines the handling methods and the ultimate disposal of the material. The Contractor must classify waste into general or hazardous based on the toxicity or hazard nature of waste.
