CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Project
This Dredging Environmental Management Plan (DEMP) has been prepared by M/s
Environmental Balance Establishment, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the off shore construction
works of Shoaiba RO Plant Phase IV Project (SROP Ph IV ) for Saline Water Conversion
Corporation (SWCC). The Dredging Environmental Management Plan (DEMP) provides a
system and procedures to address and manage potential environmental impacts associated with
the construction phase of the Project.
This Dredging Environmental Management Plan (DEMP) for off shore construction works of
Shoaiba RO Plant Phase IV Project (SROP Ph IV) details the environmental protection measures
to be implemented during project construction i.e. off shore excavation for installation of Intake
and Outfall pipelines. The measures noted herein were developed by project team following
input from applicable environmental regulatory agencies.
This Dredging Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (DEMMP) sets out specific
project environmental management systems and the associated resources to comply with
applicable local, regional and national environmental legislation i.e. GAMEP .
This DEMMP is to establish:
• A Project Environmental Management and Monitoring System consistent with ISO14001

Environmental Management System Standard
• The Environmental Policy Statement
• Environmental Objectives and Targets
• Site Environmental Management Measures
• Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Programmed
This DEMMP shall be maintained and updated to ensure the requirements of off shore works of
Shoaiba R O Plant Ph IV, Shoaiba development Project contract are met with the aim of
continually minimization and improving the environmental performance throughout the project
off shore construction phase. The Project Manager will ensure that the contents of this DEMMP
are communicated to the Project Team and will ensure its full implementation.

Shoaiba R O Plant Phase IV Project
The Shoaiba Reverse Osmosis plant complex is located in Saudi Arabia on the coast of Red Sea,
about 120 kilometers (75 mi) south of Jeddah.
Korean contractor M/s. Doosan has secured its largest ever membrane desalination contract, as
Saudi Arabia’s desalination authorities kicked off a wave of new desalination plants with two
major awards.
Figure 1.1: Location of Shoaiba R O Plant Phase IV site

The Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) awarded M/s. Doosan a 425.978 USD
contract to build the 400,000m3/d Shoaiba 4 SWRO plant. The project had been in the pipeline
for several years, but the location was switched at the last minute from Jeddah city to the coastal
area of Shoaiba, 50 miles to the south. Shoaiba 4 is the first of many major Greenfield
desalination projects which will be built following the reorganization of the Kingdom’s water
sector in 2016.
Figure 1.2: Map showing R O Plant Phase IV site & Jeddah City
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8
SWCC, responsible for supplying 50% of all municipal water in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
took the initial decision to invest heavily in desalination against a backdrop of chronic water
shortage and rising population. According to predictions from the Saudi Arabian Central
Department of Statistics, the Kingdom's total population exceed 29 million by 2010 and rise
to 36.4 million ten years later. Taking a baseline consumption of 300 liters per person per day,
the resulting demand for water will increase to over 3,000 million m³/year by 2010 and nearly
4,000 million m³/year by 2020.
Saudi Arabia is now the world's largest producer of desalinated water with desalination
meeting 70% of the country's present drinking water requirement and supplying major urban
and industrial centers through a network of water pipes which run for more than 2,300 miles.
Several new desalination plants are planned, or under construction, which will ultimately bring
the final total to almost 30 such facilities.

1.3 Scope of SROP Ph IV Project Dredging Environmental Management and Monitoring

Plan
This SROP Ph IV Project Dredging Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan shall be
applicable to the Management of all environmental aspects of the works being undertaken by
M/S Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Ltd, KSA (DHIC) in completing the off shore
works of Shoaiba RO Plant Phase IV Project (Installation of Intake and Outfall Pipelines as
per the project specifications ). These works include dredging and land disposal.
1.4 Equipments and Technological Information

The initial depth of water at the dredging site may restrict the selection of plant on the basis of
both size and type. A distinction can be made here between those dredgers that are capable of
excavating ahead of their hulls and those which are only able to excavate material from below
their hulls. The former, which include cutter suction dredger, may be able to dredge in very
shallow water and create sufficient depth for flotation as they advance. The latter group, which
includes trailing suction dredger, requires an initial depth sufficient for flotation. The length of
the dredging area is important for dredgers that pass over the dredging site during the dredging
operation.
Mobile dredgers such as trailing suction hopper dredgers are inhibited by short dredging sites.
The shorter the passage over the site the greater the proportion of time is spent in maneuvering
rather than dredging. For trailing suction hopper dredgers, any site less than 1000 meters long
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 33
could be classified as restrictive. For this project, it is anticipated that a trailer suction dredger
will be deployed for dredging along the navigational channel and a cutter suction dredger at the
intake and out fall channels for pipelines.
Cutter Suction Dredger

This type of dredger is most often used in works of land reclamation or other hydraulic filling
and where the level of consolidation or cementation (e.g. rock) of the materials being dredged
requires cutting to remove the materials. The dredging process involves an initial powerful
cutting action, followed by suction and pumped discharged via a pipeline to the reclamation
area. The cutter suction dredger is rated according to either the diameter of the discharge pipe or
by the power driving the cutter-head.
The cutter-head may be electrically or hydraulically driven. It encloses the suction intake pipe
work of a centrifugal dredge pump. The cutter-head is mounted at the extremity of a fabricated
steel structure, called a “ladder”, which also supports the suction pipe. The cutter-head drive
motor may be mounted immediately behind the cutter at the ladder extremity.
The ladder is attached to the main hull by heavy hinges that permit rotation in the vertical plane.
The ladder assembly is lowered and raised by means of a hoisting winch controlled from the
bridge. Location and movement control of the dredger is usually by means of a combination of
spuds and winches. When dredging, the spud leg is hydraulically driven into the seabed. The
underside of the cutter is maintained at a level just below the desired finished level and traversed
across the arc shaped face, with the dredger rotating about the spud, by hauling in on one swing
winch and paying out the other.
When a large depth of material is to be removed, several cuts across the face will be necessary
before the final level is achieved. The pipeline connecting the dredger discharge to the land
reclamation consists of a floating pipeline and land pipeline. The floating pipelines are
supported by the mounting of steel pontoons to provide buoyancy. The onshore pipelines are
normally connected by bolted flange connections. Pipes are laid on the ground. At the point of
discharge, the pipe may be fitted with a diffuser for even distribution of the material.
The technological process of the Cutter Suction Dredger is as follows:
Seabed Excavation Discharged by Lines Filling after pipeline installation
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 34
Figure 1.26 A,B-C : Cutter Suction Dredger
Dredging by Trailer Suction Dredger

The trailer suction dredger is a ship, suited to coastal or deep sea navigation, which has the
ability to load a hopper contained within its structure by means of a centrifugal pump or pumps
whilst the vessel is moving forward. Loading takes place with the ship moving slowly forward.
Unloading can be by means of bottom discharge or by pump discharge. In this project, due to the
limited depth at the reclamation area, discharge will be by pump into reclamation and bottom
dump into offshore disposal sites.
The trailing suction dredger travels between sites under its own power. A large proportion of the
internal space of the ship is taken up by the hopper, into which the dredged material is loaded by
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 35
one or two large centrifugal pumps. The pumps are usually inboard, but may be fitted in the
trailing suction pipe. The suction pipe is stowed inboard when the ship is in transit between the
dredging site and the unloading site.
Figure 1.27: Trailer Suction Hopper Dredgers

On approach to the area of dredging, the suction pipe is swung outboard by means of winches
and davits. The intake end of the suction pipe is fitted with a drag-head to maximize the
concentration of solids entrained from the seabed. The drag-head is lowered to a level close to,
or below the seabed and dredging commences, normally at a speed over the ground ranging one
to five knots.
In loose materials the entrainment of solids from the seabed into the suction flow is achieved
mainly by the erosive action of the inflowing mixture. Pressure differential also aids the
loosening of granular materials. In less dredgeable materials such as dense sands, dislodgement
of the seabed material may be assisted by high-pressure water jets.
When the hopper is loaded, the suction pipes are returned inboard and stowed as the dredger
sails to the unloading site. On arrival to reclamation discharge areas, the dredger is moored,
connection is made to a pumping main and the discharge pipes, and pump discharge
commences. Occasionally pump-discharge may be via a bow mounted nozzle, whereby the
soil/water slurry is jetted or sprayed over a chosen site.
At the offshore disposal sites the dredger will monitor the location relative to the target dump
area and open the split hopper to allow discharge of the hold. The material will typically
discharge as one bulk lump of sediment sinking to the seabed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 36
Grab Dredger
The excavation by the grab dredger is in accordance with the area and thickness which is also
carried out in various zones, strips and layers. The dredging will be evenly proceeded in such a
way determined by the grab distance and grab number which is subject to the excavation depth
and the stability of the soil condition. The technological process of the grapple dredger is as
following:
Seabed excavation loading on the Barges Dumping to the Approved
Area
Double Handling
For filling enough material into the reclamation area, double handling method will be carried
out.
Figure: 1.28: Grab Dredger

The technological process is as follows:
Dredging and loading the Barges sail to the double

barges by grab dredger handling Pit
Dumping the dredged Hydraulic filling to the

material to double handling reclamation area

Reclamation
Construction of the bund acts as a retaining structure. Which will be filled with dredged
material? The inner face of the bund will be lined with a geo-textile membrane and the outer
face also.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 37
The geo-textile membrane will be rolled out and then carefully laid from the top of the core
slope to the bottom and secured temporarily by rock weights. The membrane is overlapped at
each joint, to ensure there is no migration of fines from the dredge material through the joints as
it is deposited. In shallow depths this membrane will be placed by shoreline workers and in
deeper water by divers on self-contained breathing systems.
Once the geo-textile membrane has been securely placed over the bund slope, a series of
temporary filtering bund walls, housing filtration and sluice weir gates, will be placed on the
seaward side of the proposed filling area. The filtration and sluice weir gates will be installed
downstream of the proposed filling area and will be the site for water quality monitoring to
verify compliance with discharge limits.
Compaction of the dredged material below the water table is not possible, however once the fill
level rises above the residual water level mechanical compaction will be undertaken.

2.0 LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
2.1 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Legislation
Islamic Law
Islamic law sharia, in the form of the Holy Qur’an and hadith requires that the environment be
protected. This relates primarily to the treatment of animals with kindness and suitable
utilization of land and conservation of water. There are prescribed punishments for wanton
damage to the environment.
The Basic Law of Governance 1992
The Basic Law is commonly referred to as the Constitution of Saudi Arabia. Article 32 of the
Basic Law states: “The State works for the preservation, protection and improvement of the
environment and for the prevention of pollution”.
Labour Law
Saudi Arabian labour law contains provisions designed to protect workers against environmental
hazards.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
Public Environment Law 2001
The Public Environment Law provides a general regulatory framework for the development and
enforcement of environmental rules and regulations and assigns general responsibility to the
General Authority of Meteorology and Environmental Protection (GAMEP ).
The Public Environmental Law (PEL) was enacted by Royal Decree No. M/34 dated 28/7/1422
H (corresponding to 16th October 2001), and was published in the Official Gazette number 3868
dated 24/8/1422 H (corresponding to 9th November 2001). The PEL creates a general regulatory
framework for the development and enforcement of environmental rules and regulations, and
assigns general responsibility for this to the General Authority of Meteorology and
Environmental Protection (GAMEP ). Interalia, GAMEP is responsible for:
• Conducting environmental studies;
• Documenting and publishing the results of any environmental studies;
• Preparing, issuing and reviewing relevant environmental standards;
• Ensuring compliance with relevant environmental standards;
• Working in conjunction with other government agencies, establishing plans to deal with
environmental disasters; and
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 40
• Promoting general awareness for the protection of the environment.

• Environmental monitoring
• Upgrade of Environmental Standards
The PEL anticipates that GAMEP will co-ordinate with other government agencies in the
development and enforcement of environmental standards, and that GAMEP , together with
other relevant government agencies, will have the power to impose penalties for violations of
any applicable environmental standards, where no such penalties are already in place.
 Under the PEL, polluting the sea and land of Saudi Arabia with 'toxic, nuclear or other
similar dangerous materials' may be punished by:
• Imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years;
• A fine not exceeding SAR 500,000;
• Cessation or suspension of business activities for a period not exceeding 90 days;
• Seizure and confiscation of machinery which is the cause of pollution, including, but
not limited to, ships for a period not exceeding 90 days;
• The payment of a sum, in respect of compensation commensurate to the damage
caused by the pollution; and/or
• Clean up.
Other acts of pollution may be punished by a fine not exceeding SAR 10,000; and/or
rectification of any damage and cleaning up.
Importantly, the PEL places an obligation on those 'lending funds' to consider compliance with
applicable environmental standards as a pre - condition to the approval loan. Although the
definition of those lending funds is not explicit it would be prudent for commercial lenders to
assume that this requirement applies to their lending activities. Requiring a borrower to obtain
the appropriate GAMEP consent would also be prudent.

General Environmental Regulations and Rules for Implementation 2001

Under this law, GAMEP is responsible for issuing or withholding its consent for projects to
ensure compliance with the Public Environmental Law and Regulations. Under this regulation
any licensing authority (other than the GAMEP) must ensure that an EIA is prepared during the
feasibility study of any project that may present
a negative impact on the environment. Project with negative impacts are categorized into three
classes, by which an initial environmental assessment application is required for each class of
project. The classes are:
A class I project must prepare a simple report describing the project
A class II project must prepare a brief environmental technical report of the project
A class III project must prepare an EIA
The off shore construction works of SROP Ph IV Development Project, Shoaiba , is assumed to
be a ‘third category project’ as it involves various activities during the operation phase
affecting the environment Therefore a comprehensive environmental impact assessment is
required.
Implementing Rules for the Public Environmental Protection Law 2003
Under the implementing rules, any licensing authority (other than the GAMEP) that is
responsible for issuing a license to projects that may have an adverse environmental impact,
must ensure that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is carried out by the applicant

method of directing future growth, while reducing environmental problems associated with
present human activities. The document looks at:
 Summary of Coastal and Marine Resources.
 Coastal and Marine Uses and their Environmental Effects.
 A National Coastal Zone Management Program.
Future development and the use of the coastal zone management program. This will provide a
method of directing future growth, while reducing environmental problems associated with
present human activities.
Regional Environmental Standards & Regulations:
Apart from the General Environmental Regulations & Rules for implementation of Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia. The Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu enacted Environmental regulations
for Industrial cities Jubail & Yanbu in 2004.
A major objective of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu has been industrialization
coupled with environmental protection. Since inception, the Royal Commission has been
determined that Jubail and Yanbu would be models of environmental planning and management
in addition to being productive manufacturing centers.
The real benefit of industrialization can be appreciated by society only if the entire environment
and health of the citizens are protected. In this regard, it is to be emphasized that there must be a
close cooperation between industries and environmental management personnel in order to
achieve this goal.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 44
The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu has issued the “Royal Commission Environmental
Regulations” (RCER) volume I and volume II to be adopted by industries both in Jubail and
Yanbu. Any facility operating or planning to operate on the Royal Commission property will be
required to comply with these regulations. These regulations will be updated periodically to
reflect the environmental needs of the cities and the latest in pollution control technologies.
Introduction
The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu is responsible for controlling pollution associated
with the development and operation of both industrial cities. The Royal Commission has
developed and adopted regulations, standards and guidelines to control substances emitted,
discharged, or deposited, and noise generated within the industrial cities.
The environmental regulations, standards and guidelines presented here are specific to both
Jubail and Yanbu Industrial Cities (2004,2010,2015). These are intended to clearly state the
environmental protection regulations and to formally define the requirements for adherence to
them.
Volume I of the Royal Commission Environmental Regulations includes all regulations,
standards and guidelines required to protect the environment of both cities from adverse
impacts. Volume II of the regulations presents the Consolidated Permit Program which covers
procedures and forms for applying for an “Environmental Consent to Construct” and
"Environmental Permit to Operate". Volume III determines Violations and Penalties
This document (Volume I) is divided into eight sections:

commercial, industrial areas and roadside areas are specified.
Section 8 – This section specifies the reporting and record keeping of air quality, water quality,
noise & hazardous waste management , air & water pollution treatment and requirements for
reporting the data to the competent authority.
Apart from above all the above Environmental consent to construct & operate have been
specified. The environmental authorization to transport, industrial & hazardous waste are
designated.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has actively attempted to; establish a balance between the
environmental considerations and prerequisites; rationalization of the use of available resources,
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 46
their development and advancement in various fields & has ratified many regional and
international conventions in various areas, especially in the field of environment.
The General Authority of Meteorology and Environmental Protection (GAMEP ) has played its
pioneer role in this area through the development of the “Environmental Regulations and Its
Rules of Implementation” (2001). The aims of these regulations are essentially to enhance the
balanced environmental activities, to take care of the environment, conservation of natural
resources and promoting environmental awareness in the society. The ultimate achievement is
the implementation of sustainable development concept, which is a paramount goal for all
nations.
Local Guidelines And Standards
Volume II of the RCER Guidelines (2015) provide the regulations for all dredging activities
in Article 6.
Section 6: Dredging.
Clause 6.1.1: No dredging or disposal of dredged material shall take place outside the work
site without specific approval being granted by the Royal Commission. Approval will be
subject to an assessment of the environmental impact of the proposed dredging and dredged
material disposal activities, which will be based on information provided to the Royal
Commission on Permit Application Package (PAP-M2) form include in RCER Volume II
of 2015.
This clause is relevant because the dredging activities will take place outside the work site
and this article establishes that an environmental assessment is required. In addition, the
permit application package should also include form PA-G1: Permit Application for
Industrial Facilities (General). Forms PA-H1: Permit Application for Handling and
Storage of Hazardous Materials; form PA-H2: Permit Application for Authorization
for Waste Management; and form PA-M2: Permit Application for Authorization to
Carry out Loading/Unloading Operations may also be required.
Clause 6.1.2: Dredging, dewatering, and disposal of dredged material shall not cause any
form of pollution of the marine ecology, including siltation, odours, and fugitive dust.
This clause will be relevant because the dredged material will be transported to shore via
pipeline as a slurry for placement at the base of the existing beaches. Some dewatering to
remove seawater and sediments from within bunded structures is also envisaged.
Clause 6.1.3: Silt curtain or any floating barrier shall be placed prior to the dredging
operation, particularly in sensitive marine areas, such as: sea grass beds, coral reef,
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 47
mangrove community and other areas of concern. Appropriate locations have been
identified as a results of the surveys and, where modeling suggests there could be potential
impact on a sensitive receptor, appropriate mitigation is recommended.
Clause 6.1.4: Offshore disposal of dredged material is prohibited unless authorized by the
RC (for area under its jurisdiction) or other concerned legal authority in special cases.
This clause is relevant is relevant as offshore dumping of dredged material will not be
allowed. Dredging material will not be disposed of offshore but will deposited in the coastal
zone within the Intertidal area or on land.
Clause 6.1.5: No dredged materials shall be disposed of within enclosed bays, inlets or
within the 20m low tide depth contours unless the dredged material is being used for
approved construction purposes.
This clause is relevant because some of the dredged material will be placed within the 20m
low tide depth in order to form the correct slope for the proposed beaches.
Clause 6.1.6: Dredged material that does not meet the standards in Table
6A(reproduced in Table below) shall not be disposed of at offshore locations. Such
materials may be disposed of at onshore facilities in accordance with Sections 4 and 5.
Table 2.2 Maximum Pollutant Levels for Disposal of Dredged Sediments

Dredged material that does not meet the standard will not be disposed of in offshore
locations. Unsuitable material will be disposed of in accordance with the relevant
guidelines depending on the reason for unsuitability (i.e. unsuitable for engineering
purposes or because the sediments are contaminated).
Clause 6.1.7: Dredged materials proposed for beach nourishment or landscaping shall not
exceed the criteria provided in Table 6B (reproduced in Table 2.1 below).
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 48

This clause is relevant because the dredged material must meet the standards set out in the
table above.
Clause 6.1.8: Supernatant water decanted from dredged material shall not be disposed of
within enclosed bays or inlets or within the 20m low tide depth contour unless a visual
clarity of at least 0.5m has been achieved. Supernatant water quality parameters shall meet
the maximum pollutant level standards established in Section 3.2.
Section 3.2 of RCER Volume I refers to Water Quality Discharge Standards and only sub-
paragraph (b) is relevant to the proposed Project – this sub-paragraph covers ‘Water Quality
Standards for Direct Discharge to Coastal Waters (including Treated Effluent, Discharge to
the brine out fall Canal, Variance Streams and Surface Drainage Ditches) (refer to Table 3C
of RCER Volume I of 2015). Table 3C gives the standards required for dewatering effluent
prior to discharge to the sea. The key indicator is the level of Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
which has an average monthly limit of 25mg/l and a daily maximum of 40mg/l at the
discharge point. The key parameters are shown in Table 2.3 below.
Table 2.4 Water Quality Standards for Direct Discharges

________________________________________________________________________________________________ 49
Clause 6.1.9: The use of surface impoundments to retain and settle dredged materials shall
conform to the standards given in Clause 3.4.8 of these Regulations.
This clause is relevant because the proposed Project will need to construct settlement areas
as a means of storing the dredged sediments from SROP Ph IV intake and outfall pipeline
channel excavation. These are not strictly settlement basis as the sediments will not be
transported as slurry (via hydraulic means) but will be excavated using land based
equipment with minimal dewatering required.
2.3 International
Through the adoption or ratification of international/regional conventions relating to specific

environmental and civil aviation issues, KSA has added a further strata to the legal and policy
framework for the project. These are reviewed below under two headings: Obligations under
ICAO and Other obligations.
ICAO refers to Air Navigation
Other Obligations
Other international obligations of particular relevance to the proposed project are summarized
below.
The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden

Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the 1992 Regional Convention for the Conservation of the Red

________________________________________________________________________________________________ 53
SECTION 4.0 SITE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

MEASURES
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 54
SECTION 4.0 SITE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES
4.1 Water Pollution Mitigation Measures

Water pollution mainly comes from dredging, reclamation, piling and marine construction,
construction runoff and drainages, uses of chemicals and oils as well as site daily activities. The
following pollution avoidance and mitigation measures will be adopted to avoid and/or reduce
the adverse impacts from the construction on water quality:
Dredging of Channels, Laying of Pipes, Filling and Reclamation
• All construction plant and equipment shall be designed and maintained to minimize the
risk of silt, sediments, contaminants or other pollutants being released into the water
body or deposited in the locations other than designated location;
• Mechanical grabs shall be designed and maintained to avoid spillage and to ensure that
they can close completely and seal tightly to minimize sediment loss while being lifted;
the hoisting speed of grabs shall be controlled in such a way that sediment loss during
dredging works shall be minimized;
• All vessels shall be sized such that adequate clearance is maintained between vessels and
the sea bed at all states of the tide to ensure that undue turbidity is not generated by
turbulence from vessel movement or propeller wash;
• Before moving the vessels which are used for transporting dredged materials, excess
material shall be cleaned from the decks and exposed fittings of vessels and the excess
materials shall never be dumped into the sea except at approved locations;
• Adequate freeboard shall be maintained on barges to ensure that decks are not washed by
wave action;
• Loading of barges and hoppers will be controlled to prevent splashing of dredged
material to the surrounding water, and vessels will not be filled to a level which will
cause overflowing of material or polluted water during loading or transportation;
• Construction activities should not cause any foam, oil, grease, scum, litter or other
objectionable matter on the water within the site or dumping grounds.
Guidelines for Disposal of dredged materials on land disposal site

All proposed disposal sites for dredging material must satisfy the following minimum setback
distances:
• Up gradient Water Supply Wells: 300 m
• Neighboring Residence: 300 m
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 55
• Watercourse: 30 m
• Marsh or Wetland: 30 m
The SROP Ph IV Proponent SWCC and the contractor DHIC will also be required to take
additional measures at the disposal site to reduce Erosion and surface water runoff. Additional
measures may also be required depending upon the site evaluation. When dredged materials are
removed from the marine to an upland environment for disposal, the contractor shall
demonstrate that the release of pollutants present in the materials shall not cause significant
threats to groundwater or cause other environmental degradation.
After dewatering, dredged materials placed on uplands adjacent to tidal waters shall be
permanently stabilized. Surface slopes of the disposal area shall be graded so as to prevent
surface ponding.
Where dredged materials are placed behind a wall or bulkhead:
• The structure shall be suitably engineered to resist the pressures of the dredged material;
• The material, including fines, shall be prevented from seeping through the wall or
bulkhead by the placement of an adequate filtering device;
Information on site characteristics needed for assessments includes the following:
• Available area and volumetric storage capacity to contain the material for the required
life of the site.
• Site configuration and access.
• Proximity to sensitive ecological environments.
• Topography to include potential changes in elevation and runoff patterns and adjacent
drainage.
• Ability of the dredged material to eventually dry and oxidize.
• Groundwater levels, flow and direction, and potential impact on groundwater discharge
and recharge.
• Meteorology and climate.
• Foundation soil properties and stratigraphy.
• Potential groundwater receptors.
• Potential alteration of the existing habitat type.
• Potential for effluent, leachate, and surface runoff impacting adjacent ground and surface
water resources.
• Potential for direct uptake and movement of contaminants into food webs.
• Potential for volatilization of contaminants.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 56
• Potential for dust, noise, or odor problems.

• Potential to implement management activities when deemed necessary.
• Potential accessibility of the site by the public.
General Construction Activities and Use of Chemicals or Oils
• Adequate septic tanks shall be installed on the site to collect and treat all waste water
from washing room and toilet. Treated waste water will be further collected and stored in
a large waste water storage tank, from where it will be pumped and transported into
public waste water treatment plant for the final disposal or disposed off after treating to
the permissible levels of GAMEP.
• Adequate enough waste water treatment facilities will be built on site to collect and treat
the waste water from canteen. The treated water will be stored in a large waste water
storage tank, from where it will be pumped and transported into public waste water
treatment plant for further treatment.
• Adequate Solid waste collecting bins shall be installed at different places at the site to
collect any solid waste and then it shall be sent to public waste collection facilities.
• Chemicals and chemical wastes shall be stored in specific different places, labeled and
managed by appointed personnel.
• Oils and waste oils should be stored, labeled and managed in specific places by
appointed personnel.
4.2 Air Quality
Dust generated from piling, material handling, excavation, filling, backfilling, road construction
and vehicle movements will be the sources of impact on air quality. Construction activities such
as earthworks, material handling, wind erosion of stockpiled materials, and truck movement on
the unpaved haul roads are the main dust generating sources. However, since little soil will be
moved other than through use of the cutter head suction dredge, the air quality issues are
expected to be significant minimal. Soil moved through dredge pipeline discharge is already
wet, and thus will not require additional moisture addition.
Monitoring will consist of visual observations by the environmental staff. Any clear violations
will be subject to immediate shut-down of site operations in question, until the air quality issues
are brought under control.
In general, the site will be frequently cleaned and watered using water lorries to minimize the
fugitive dust emissions. The following specific mitigation measures and preventive actions shall
also be employed to avoid excessive dust generation on site:
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 57
Site Clearance
• The working area shall be sprayed with water immediately before, during and
immediately after the operation so as to maintain wet surface.
• All demolished items that may dislodge dust particles should be covered entirely by
impervious sheeting within a day of demolition, and disposed off site as soon as possible.
Earthwork and Mechanical Breaking
• The amount of soil exposed in excavation area at any time shall be kept as low as
possible to minimize the dust generation potential and thus dust emission.
• The working area of any excavation or earth moving operation shall be sprayed with
water immediately before, during and after the operation so as to maintain the wet
surface.
• Excavation or earthworks shall be completed as quickly as practicable and exposed earth
should be properly treated by compaction after the last construction activity.
• Water should be regularly sprayed on the work surface where mechanical breaking
operation is in progress, as needed.
• Excavation work and transfer of surface material should be minimized on windy days.
Dusty Materials Handling and Stockpile
• In the process of material handling, any material which has the potential to create dust
shall be treated with water.
• The height from which excavated materials are dropped will be minimized to limit
fugitive dust generation from loading/unloading.
• Any stockpile of dusty materials shall not extend beyond the pedestrian barriers, fencing
or traffic cones;
• Stockpile of dusty materials should be avoided. Any stockpile of dusty materials, where
possible.
4.3 Noise
Construction noise impacts arising from various off shore construction activities such as piling,
berthing and building construction, dredging, reclamation, laying of pipes, excavation, filling,
road paving, material transportation, etc., may give rise to impacts on nearby noise sensitive
receivers. In order to minimize the adverse construction noise impacts, adequate mitigation
measures for construction processes on or off the site should be considered and implemented to
avoid unnecessary and excessive noise that may disturb nearby noise sensitive receivers (NSR).
The following mitigation measures are simply best practice measures for any work site. The best
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 58
management practices will be used to limit noise emission at source. Monitoring of on-site noise
sources will be the responsibility of all workers, but especially the Chief Engineer and his direct
reports. Any violations of good noise practices may result in a temporary halt in that portion of
the construction activity until the violation is cleared.
Monitoring
Good Site Practice
• Only well-maintained plant should be operated on-site and plant will be checked and
serviced regularly during the construction period;
• Machines and plant (such as trucks) that may be in intermittent use will be shut down
between work periods or will be throttled down to a minimum;
• Silencers or mufflers on construction equipment should be properly fitted and
maintained;
• Material stockpiles such as bricks, aggregate & timber and site buildings such as site
offices and stores shall be strategically located and effectively utilized as temporary
barrier, where practicable, to screen noise from on-site construction activities; and,
• All air compressors, generators and hand-held percussive breakers shall be labeled with
noise emission labels.
Rescheduling of Concurrent Activities

The construction program shall be planned as to minimize the cumulative noise impact due to
concurrent operation of several sets of equipment.
4.4 General Housekeeping and Nuisance Avoidance
Site foremen will undertake regular site inspections to determine that environmental
requirements are being met. M/S Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Ltd,KSA will:
• Ensure that no earth, debris, or rock are deposited on public or private roads as a result of
the works, including any deposits arising from the movement of plant and vehicles;
• Perform daily cleaning and weekly tidying of the site including public cleaning areas; and
• Provide necessary facilities, receptacles and transport for the temporary storage, disposal
and removal of different types of wastes to avoid accumulation of waste and generation of
odor on site.
4.5 Flora and Fauna
Construction activities should be carefully programmed and managed to avoid any deterioration
of marine flora and fauna.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 59
Terrestrial Flora and Fauna
Terrestrial flora and fauna are nearly non-existent at the site, so no environmental management
activities are required for this concern. The area is barren at present.
Marine Flora and Fauna
The following management actions are required to protect marine flora and fauna.
• In case if any threatened species are encountered within 50 m of work activity, all nearby
construction activities will be ceased and the site supervisors should be notified.
• No further works shall be continued in the vicinity either the threatened species leaves
the site, or until the environmental consultants can carry out a field assessment and
recommend a course of action. Records of sighting of threatened species shall be kept by
the site supervisor;
• Appropriate dredging controls shall be maintained during the construction works to
avoid intake or damage to threatened species. This includes the use of silt fences, and
other management tools.
• An offshore location, with an appropriate distance from sensitive marine habitat such as
sea grass meadows, algal beds and isolated coral communities, has been selected for
disposal of dredged spoil material derived from dredging operation.

SECTION 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND

MITIGATION MEASURES
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 61
SECTION 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND MITIGATION MEASURES
The environmental monitoring program has been developed to focus on those aspects that are
predicted to be affected by the dredging of intake & discharge channels for the installation of
pipes and or which are considered to be of particular importance.
5.1 Water Quality Monitoring
During the construction phase, an environmental monitoring and audit programme will be
implemented in accordance with the procedures and requirements in the Project Monitoring
Report and the relevant legislations to address the potential water pollution generated by the
dredging and reclamation activities. An Environmental Team (ET) shall be employed to carry
out the monitoring and audit works. Environmental Team will:
(1) Undertake an Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme during the off
shore construction phase of the Project;
(2) Carry out regular environmental monitoring and audits, and ensure that environmental
mitigation measures recommended in the Contract Specifications are enforced;
(3) Implement corrective actions and other mitigation measures to reduce impacts where
environmental non-compliance findings are identified in the course of the regular EM&A
and other inspections; and,
(4) Preparing monthly environmental monitoring and audit report.
Water quality monitoring stations and water sampling
In accordance with the requirements of the project monthly report, water quality sampling
stations have been established around the proposed dredging areas. The frequency of the routine
water measurement and sediment sampling will depend upon the site activities, environmental
variations and the requirements of Engineer during the construction period. However, it will be
at least once a week in the beginning. Water samples at identified station at mid depth shall be
collected and analyzed for the water parameters. Measurements should be taken using a
portable, laser monitoring water meter. GAMEP certified laboratory will be employed for full
suite of physical-chemical and biological analysis. The analytical methods shall be explained
through the reporting procedure and each sample shall have a chain of custody that shall be
available for auditing purposes should the need arise.
Water quality monitoring parameters
The following parameters specified in the Monthly Monitoring Report shall be measured:
On site measurements:
• Temperature (ºC)
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 62
• Dissolved oxygen (mg/l)

• pH
• Salinity (ppt)
• Turbidity (Nephlometric Turbidity Units (NTU))
• Conductivity
Laboratory tests:
• Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• Sulphate
• Nitrate
• Phosphates
• Calcium
• Heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel, iron, chromium
and lead.
Data should be compared to GAMEP standards.
Sediment characteristics
In order to monitor the disturbs of dredging to the sediments, monthly sediment quality analyses
shall be undertaken at the above mentioned water sampling stations and other locations where
excavation and trenching may occur when assessing the impact of any sediment removal and
disposal works. Methods of sampling and laboratory analysis should meet any requirements of
the monitoring report and each sample should have a chain of custody that should be available
for auditing purposes should the need arise.
The following analyses should be conducted on each sediment sample:
• Total petroleum hydrocarbons;
• Heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, copper and lead.
The samples collected for laboratory analysis should also be subjected to a standard grain size
analysis to determine the nature of the sediments and the percentage of fine material. The
method should confirm to standard of GAMEP or international practice.
5.2 Turbidity Monitoring Plan for Dredging and Filling Works
Protection of local marine habitats and all existing or proposed marine infrastructure, from
excessive suspended sediment concentrations is of paramount importance in the execution of the
dredging, reclamation, or onshore stockpiling of surplus dredged material suitable for use as fill
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 63
(hereafter referred to as onshore stockpiling) operations. The coral reef, live bottom, and other
parts of the marine ecosystem in the vicinity of the site are to be protected from adverse
environmental impacts arising as a result of dredging, reclamation, and onshore stockpiling.
This topic defines limits on permissible content of solids in waters of the Red Sea at defined
locations. For this purposes water quality is determined in terms of suspended sediment
concentrations. With the exception of weekly monitoring of select biochemical parameters in the
reclamation and onshore stockpiling discharge waters, biological and other determinants are not
considered.
To demonstrate compliance with the permissible limits of GAMEP , the Contractor shall, while
performing dredging, reclamation, and/or onshore stockpiling works, undertake a monitoring
program to determine levels of suspended settlement. Background levels of suspended
settlement concentrations shall be taken to confirm prior to the start of the Contractor's
operations those activities which produce raised levels of solids content in waters. The
measurement and analysis relating to the assessment of typical background levels of solids
content shall be performed by using the gauges and equipment installed by the Contractor.
If at any point during the dredging, reclamation and onshore stockpiling works, the monitoring
program finds that levels of solids content are above the permitted limits, the works shall be
stopped immediately until such time that the Contractor is able to prepare and implement, to the
satisfaction of the Engineer, his plan to alleviate any future non-compliance.
Monitoring shall continue for at least two weeks after completion of the dredging, reclamation,
and onshore stockpiling works.
The Contractor shall design the monitoring program and systems such that access to and
supervision of all activities may be made by the employer, the Engineer and any representative
of the relevant regulatory authority throughout all monitoring periods.
The Contractor should note that dredging, reclamation, and onshore stockpiling works will not
be permitted to commence until all equipment required for the necessary implementation of the
monitoring works is on site and has been calibrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Materials to be Dredged and Excavated
The Contractor shall satisfy himself as to the nature of the material to be dredged by
examination of the site and site data including samples obtained in the course of investigations
of behalf of the Employer and available for his inspection during the performance of the works.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 64
The Contractor shall expect that, at some times, there will be sediment to be dredged containing
high percentages of very fine materials, some of which will not settle in moving water.
Furthermore that the dredging and excavation processes within bedrock and hydraulic transport
of such material may itself generates significant percentages of very fine materials entering the
Red Sea. The Contractor shall employ work methods to limit and control these occurrences, and
shall make due allowance for them in his program.
Turbidity Monitoring Plan
Details of Turbidity Monitoring Plan should cover but are not limited to:
• Proposals for "caution" levels of solids content.

• Method of establishing, locating, operating, and maintaining monitoring stations.
• Proposed sampling intervals and frequency.
• Method of processing data received from such stations
• Method for distribution of data.
• Method of establishing measurements from which to determine compliance with limiting
permissible levels of solids content.
• Method of relating the impact on water quality of actual dredging, reclamation, and
onshore stockpiling works to monitoring data.
• Method of calibration.
• Proposals for reporting
• Program
• Site map that includes the dredging and reclamation extent, location(s) of excess water
release discharge structures (weirs), the proposed locations of silt curtains, and the
proposed locations of monitoring stations.
• Method of visual monitoring and recording of sediment deposition.
• Proposed procedure to manage dredging, reclamation, and onshore stockpiling
shutdowns due to non compliance with the Employer's requirements and any conditions
of permits for the project.
Construction-Phase Turbidity Monitoring Plan
Not less than 30 days before the commencement of the dredging, reclamation, stockpiling,
and/or offsite disposal works, the Contractor shall submit a construction-phase Turbidity
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 65
Monitoring Plan (TMP). The construction-phase TMP shall confirm and expand upon the
information previously provided with the tender and described above.
Execution
Mobilization and Demobilization
The works include furnishing at the site all equipment, materials and personnel required for the
execution of the works and removal of all equipment and personnel and clean-up of the
monitoring sites at the completion of works.
Turbidity Limits
Ambient Turbidity Conditions
Operational limits have been established based upon knowledge acquired through background
turbidity data for the site, limits enforced by regulatory authorities for previous projects in the
area, and experience with similar projects at other locations.
Operational Turbidity Limits
The operational turbidity limits and trigger values are applied as absolute values rather than
values above a reference turbidity level. The limit of permissible level (5% above the baseline
readings) shall be a rolling hourly average value and is the recommended ambient marine water
quality limit set by the regulatory authority (GAMEP).
The control of losses of fine material from the dredging, excavation, reclamation and filling
activities will be achieved by enforcing the "stop" thresholds with respect to levels of solids
content in waters. If these thresholds are breached, the Contractor will not be permitted to
resume dredging, reclamation, and/or onshore stockpiling until levels drop down below
"caution" levels.
The purpose of the "caution" level is to act as a warning that levels of solid content are
increasing towards the "stop" threshold, and thus act as a brake where the Contractor must
instigate remedial action to reduce the loss of suspended solids to the water column.
The Contractor should be aware that spilled sediment accumulating on the sea bed within and
outside of the construction area may become a significant source of turbidity during energetic
wave conditions. Every effort should thus be made to minimize spillage, even within the limits
set out above, as re-suspension of such material will be indistinguishable from spillage due to
ongoing dredging and may trigger a shutdown of operations. The Contractor shall be responsible
for shutdowns, regardless of whether the suspended material originates directly from the dredger
or originates from the re-suspension of previously spilled material.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 66
Water Samples for Reclamation Discharge Water Quality
Once per week, one water sample shall be acquired from the reclamation discharge location for
water quality analysis. Processing of the samples shall include analysis for Ammonia Nitrogen
(NH4), Total Phosphorus (Tot-P) and Dissolved Oxygen (DO), total suspended solids and
turbidity. Dissolved Oxygen, turbidity and temperature shall be measured in the sample
immediately upon its acquisition, while NH4 and Tot-P shall be analyzed by a recognized
independent laboratory to be approved by the Employer. Results shall be included in the weekly
monitoring reports.
Silt Containment Screens
In order to avoid suspended solids concentrations exceeding, or approaching, the specified

limits, the Contractor shall take appropriate steps that it sees fit to employ silt screens during the
construction of the works under the following conditions:
• The Contractor submits detailed method statements
• The Contractor submits technical data sheets for the materials to be used for the silt
screen barriers
• The Contractor conducts operational trials for each of his proposed screen systems. A
method statement for these trials is to be submitted by the Contractor. The trials shall
demonstrate that the Employer's requirements are met at all times and in the variety of
operational sea state conditions which will be encountered.
• Providing the trials demonstrate that the use of silt screens is feasible and the Employer's
Requirements shall be met, the Contractor may proceed with the deployment of the
screens during the performance of the works.
• The Contractor is to deploy a dedicated crew for the operation and maintenance of the
screens, full time and on a 24 hour per day basis for the duration of the dredging and
other operations, including for the provision of spares.
Monitoring report
In order to update the construction impact on the environments, site environmental monitoring
and inspections on water, sediments, marine ecology, site sewage, waste management, noise and
air emissions shall be collated and analyzed. A monthly environmental monitoring and
inspection report during the periods of the dredging and marine works shall be prepared and
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67
submitted to the Engineer for review and to GAMEP in order to obtain approval for
environmental management and monitoring during construction activities.
5.3 Environmental Mitigation Measures
The following measures will be carried out during dredging:
1. All construction plant and equipment shall be designed and maintained to minimize the
risk of silt, sediments, contaminants or other pollutants being released into the water
body or deposited in the locations other than designated location;
2. The distance between the mouth of pipeline and outfall of the reclamation area should be
kept in safe distance therefore the sand will be able to settle in the reclamation area and
the discharge water will meet the water quality requirements.
3. Silt screen should be deployed around the outfall of reclamation area to prevent the
suspended sediment spreading in water;
4. A silt screen will be set in front of Grab Dredgers to prevent the suspended sediment
spreading while dredging work in progress;
5. Filling should commerce after the completion of dredging of channel & laying of pipes
and be undertaken behind seawall if practicable, or a silt curtain should be used during
filling without a seawall;
6. Mechanical grabs shall be designed and maintained to avoid spillage and to ensure that
they can close completely and seal tightly to prevent sediment loss while being lifted; the
hoisting speed of grabs shall be controlled in such a way that sediment loss during
dredging works shall be minimized;
7. All vessels shall be sized such that adequate clearance is maintained between vessels and
the sea bed at all states of the tide to ensure that undue turbidity is not generated by
turbulence from vessel movement or propeller wash;
8. Before moving the vessels which are used for transporting dredged materials, excess
material shall be cleaned from the decks and exposed fittings of vessels and the excess
materials shall never be dumped into the sea except at approved locations;
9. Adequate freeboard shall be maintained on barges to ensure that decks are not washed by
wave action;
10. All vessels transporting material shall be monitored to ensure that no dumping outside
the approved location takes place. M/S Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction
Ltd,KSA should keep and produce logs and other records to demonstrate compliance and
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 68
that journey times are consistent with designated locations and copies of such records
should be submitted to the owner and the owner’s representative;
11. All bottom dumping vessels (hopper barges) and dredgers shall be fitted with tight
fittings seals to their bottom openings to prevent leakage of material;
12. Loading of barges and hoppers shall be controlled to prevent splashing of dredged
material to the surrounding water, and vessels shall not be filled to a level which will
cause overflowing of material or polluted water during loading or transportation;
13. Construction activities should not cause any foam, oil, grease, scum, litter or other
objectionable matter on the water within the site or dumping grounds.
14. Equipment and vessels should be in good working order and not leaking fuel or volatile
emissions;
15. Appropriate storage and handling of fuels and chemicals on vessels;
16. Daily inspection of the water surface for any visual signs of recent pollution shall be
carried out;
17. Dredging and grabbed sediment transfer operation shall be controlled to avoid splashing
sediment into the surrounding water during the transfer of sediment from the dredging
point or pile casing to the barge.
It is anticipated that the above mitigation measures will be sufficient in reducing the water
quality impact during the construction works. However regular monitoring of the water quality
in the view of improving these mitigations measures will be implemented during the execution
of the works.
5.4 Remediation Action Plan
Mitigation plan during the dredging and filling after the intake and outfall pipes installed
The following measures are recommended for management of environmental issues expected
during dredging operations.
Mitigation measures for protection of the Marine Water Quality & Habitat
• The surplus dredged material shall be disposed off at an approved offshore dumping site
or can be used for suitable place as proposed by M/S Doosan Heavy Industries and
Construction Ltd,KSA (DHIC) and any uncontaminated material will be used for
reclamation to prevent dispersion of sediment from the disposed material into the sea and
to allow leakage of water from the material piled it would be necessary to make.
• During dredging process, economically justified technologies should be used to mitigate
the muddying of seawater.
________________________________________________________________________________________________ 69
• A procedure should be developed for the management of any contaminated sediment

which should include the ongoing analysis of sediments. In the case of detection of any
pollutants in the sediments (above the recognized safe limits), the appropriate
documentation, control and supervision for the 'cradle to grave' management of the
contaminated soil through the safe storage, transportation and disposal to a GAMEP
approved site.
• The management of coral reefs in the area will need thorough monitoring.
Problem Action
Fuel leaking:
Stop relevant works; Check and repair relevant equipment; Use oil booms to avoid the oil
spreading to other places; Use oil absorption material to clean and remove the fuel.
Silt screen broken:
Stop dredging work; Repair the silt screen or replace it if necessary. No operation will continue
until the area is properly secure.
Overflow bunds:
Stop reclamation work; Set up silt screen around the overflow area. Increase the height of the
bunds.
Spill from barge:
Transfer the soil to another barge; Set up silt screen around the overflow area.
Mud leaking from barge bottom: Stop the barge operation; Repair the barge.
Mud leaking from discharge lines: Stop the Cutter Suction Dredger. Repair the discharge
lines.
