A. GENERAL SCOPE
The Environmental Management Program (EMP) applies for topics covered by both AL-
AYUNI and Royal Saudi Naval Forces documents; in this case the description that is
more relevant to environmental control will be adopted.
Any deviation from Royal Saudi Naval Forces Environment Requirements, Rules and
Regulations, must be approved, in advance and in writing, by the Royal Saudi Naval
Forces Representative through the Environmental Protection Department.
AL-AYUNI may request assistance from Royal Saudi Naval Forces with respect to the
implementation of its ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS according to the Schedule
“D” of the Contract.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
AL-AYUNI has developed an environmental policy for a proper execution of the project
taking into account the importance of environmental impact during the construction and
commissioning activities. This emphasizes on the following:
Page 3 of 32
Ensuring that AL-AYUNI and its subcontractors personnel involved in site
activities are adequately informed, instructed and trained in environmental
matters, promoting environmental consciousness.
Minimizing adverse environmental impacts at all stages by preventing pollution
when performing activities.
Using material and energy efficiently minimizing waste generation by means of
the 3 “R” i.e. reducing, recycling and reusing.
Prohibiting the use of halons, CFCs, PCBS and asbestos for any purpose.
The application of these principles shall result in the development of the project with
as little negative environmental impact as possible. Therefore, AL-AYUNI shall ensure
every effort to prevent and take steps to avoid contamination of the land, air or water.
C. IMPLEMENTATION
The implementation of this program comply with Royal Saudi Naval Force contractual
requirements, and applicable Government rules & regulations. The site Safety
Manager will monitor and assist in organization of the requirements as spelt out in the
environmental protection program and will ensure that the Environmental Coordinator
assigned will oversee its implementation.
AL-AYUNI shall make all out efforts to protect the land resources in the project
site areas.
Preservation of nature CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES shall be
the motto of work.
Disposal of wastewater, industrial/construction waste, garbage and chemicals
must be in line with the Royal Saudi Naval Force STANDARDS approved safe
work environmental practices and the authorized/nominated dumps LANDFILLS.
All chemical wastes shall be disposed of in the ACCORDANCE WITH THE SA
HAZARDOUZ WASTE CODE at specialized FACILITIES in the vehicles of an

Force Engineering Procedure and unloading of these wastes shall be in accordance
with the landfill operator’s instructions.
All waste materials are pre-defined and classified as per Royal Saudi Naval Force
Code. Waste Manifest (see attachment) shall accompany all wastes from leaving the
site to their transportation and to their final disposal / treatment facility.
a. Efforts are made to ensure that no chemicals will be stored near the water
storage area and regular maintenance will be implemented to ensure compliance
with RSNF. All materials or substances produced in or brought into the facility
shall be identified and evaluated for their potential physical or health hazards
including hazards to ground water resources. In the presence of these hazardous
chemicals MSDS/CHB’s are strictly followed and directly printed from RSNF
Environment Protection Department HAZCOM to ensure their safe transport,
storage and disposal and prevent contamination even to groundwater facilities.
b. The water supply shall be obtained from the most desirable feasible source.
AL-AYUNI has to hire sub-contractor for water Company here in Jubail area that
will supply safe drinking water on site and camp otherwise AL-AYUNI will buy
drinking water available within Jubail area and with provision for disposable
paper cups for each person.
