1 PURPOSE
This Procedure details the process to be followed and forms to be completed in order to
prepare environmental reports for Az Zour North.
2 PRINCIPLE
All requirements for reporting under Kuwait Environmental Law are to be followed, pending
further clarification from Kuwait EPA. O&M reporting requirements are to the site owner, who
then supplies any required reports to the regulatory authorities, the investors and to the parent
companies as required.
3 SCOPE
All gaseous emissions from gas turbine stacks and all water discharges from site. Waste
disposal is not included and is covered in L3-004-ENV-00. Greenhouse gas reporting may be
further developed in due course to include other greenhouse gases, such as sulphur
hexafluoride, but due to its de-minimis nature is not included in this initial procedure.
4 RESPONSIBILITY
The General Manager is responsible for ensuring that systems and resources are in place
to provide emissions reports to the site owner as required.
The Operations Manager is responsible for:
a) Ensuring emissions and discharges are reported as required by the owner company
b) Co-ordination of the production of quarterly, half-yearly and annual reports, and ensuring
that statutory reports are made in the format required by the Owner and at the frequencies
specified, for substances detailed.
c) Maintaining environmental records.
5 DEFINITIONS/ ABBREVIATIONS
KEPA - Kuwait Environment Public Authority
Owner - Shamal Az-Zour Al-Oula
MEW - Ministry of Electricity and Water
Greenhouse - A gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the
gas (GHG) thermal infrared range. The main GHGs are water vapour (H 2 O),
carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and
ozone (O 3 ).

7 HSE AND BUSINESS RISK
Reporting is a legal and shareholder requirement.
8 PROCEDURE
8.1 Seawater Intake/Outfall sampling
Manual samples are taken daily and monthly to confirm on-line instrumentation.
8.2 Sampling Techniques
Manual samples must be representative and uncontaminated. The containers used
must be spotlessly clean with the appropriate caps and labelled to show the date
and from where it has been collected. The seawater intake sample is collected at
the seawater intake sample point in the seawater area. The sample should be
allowed to run until it is representative. Collect the sample directly into the glass

sample bottle after flushing the bottle with sample, ensuring that the sample bottle
does not come into contact with the sample line. Fill the cap with sample to avoid
air ingress to the sample and screw the cap firmly in place and ensure that the
sample bottle is labelled.

The seawater discharge sample should be taken from the seawater outfall,
ensuring that the sample bottle does not come into contact with the collection jar.
Use this sample to rinse the glass sample bottle and then fill the glass sample bottle
with sample. Fill the cap with sample to avoid air ingress to the sample bottle and
screw the cap firmly in place and ensure that the sample bottle is labelled.
Laboratory gloves must be worn during sample collection to minimise the chance
of contamination and for the personal protection of the sampler.
8.3 Reporting requirements
Below are a list of the reports to be compiled for the owner and their frequency:
MEW report - Quarterly
Lenders report - Half-yearly
KEPA report - Annually
Files can be found in the “Environmental Reporting” folder.
8.4 Reporting Deadlines and Procedures:
The reporting requirements are shown in appendices to this procedure. Also
included is the methodology for compiling the monthly O&M management report.
All reports are required to be compiled monthly, and reports to be sent to Shamal
will be derived from the monthly reports as required.
8.5 Data collection
Stack monitoring - CEMS data from CEMS DAS computer
Emissions trends - PI
Waste disposal - waste transfer notes database
Water discharge - On-line data from PI, analysis results from
Chemists dept.
Operating hours data - PI
Noise data - from monthly HSE noise assessments

9 AUDIT / REVIEWS
This document will be reviewed every 2 years or as a result of audit findings.

cause the excursion, record it on a compliance spreadsheet so that it can be referred to when
compiling subsequent reports. If there are no comments to a value outside the limits find out
from Ops or Maintenance what the cause was and what are the plans for rectification.
In the event of a serious excursion from the limits it may be necessary to bring it to the attention
of the Shamal Chief Technical Officer.
If all values are within the Emission Limits, record that they have been checked as part of
monitoring of compliance.

Appendix 3 MEW Quarterly Report


Using the spreadsheet ‘Water discharges PI calc Q* 20**’ in Environmental reporting, Data, 20**,
run the ‘Raw data’ worksheet calculation for the relevant month. Copy the entire worksheet and
paste values only into the relevant month’s worksheet and save.
Using the spreadsheet ‘Air emissions PI calc Q*20**’, run the ‘Raw data’ worksheet calculation
for the relevant month. Copy the entire worksheet and paste values only into the relevant
month’s worksheet and save.
In Environmental reporting, Reports, create a new quarterly report spreadsheet modelled on a
previous report. Delete all relevant data and use the format. Copy and paste the data (values
only) in the relevant columns from the spreadsheets above into this report.
NOTE: The data from PI include an additional hour at the end of the month. Do not include this when you
paste the data as it affects the size of the spreadsheet columns and affects the average calculations.
Paste the unedited hourly and daily CEMS report from the CEMS DAS, via Excel, for each
month.
Using the CEMS DAS, download and save the monthly and hourly average data and an image
of the relevant graphs, as shown in previous reports. Paste these into the relevant worksheets
on the MEW report.
Check the number of hours operating on gas and back up fuel. The ELVs are defined in the
ECWPA (appendix M for limits and appendix A for performance requirements), and for NOx and
PM the limit is enforced for 95% of the annual operating hours. This means that 5% of the
annual operating hours per GT may be outside the limit without concern, although this may
include start up and shut down (although MEW are more concerned with average values rather
than one-off values). Any outage or shut down periods cannot be counted in the operating hours,
and these hours are shown as values in CEMS and consequently the number of data points
(operating hours) may need to be modified to determine the actual % of operating hours. Also
consider if back up fuel has been used as this gives a higher limit, and also check if there has
been any open-cycle running on GT 13/14/15 as you will need to use the CEMS data on the
bypass stacks.
Occasionally the data from CEMS and/or PI is corrupted by some means. Try to find out why,
but in any event comment that no data are available at that time. If it gives reasonable results
you can consider using the previous value to ensure a representative daily average, but always
record that the value(s) is unavailable.
CEMS calibrations are done every two weeks and the date of the work is recorded on the Cross-
functional shared area under Environmental Reports. If the recorded values from CEMS differ
significantly at these times record the calibration in the report comments.
Sometimes the data will be clearly wrong (e.g. -1500 ppm SO 2 or + 2000 ppm NOx). If it alters
the monthly average or if the GT is on shut down then the values can be deleted, but only if a
comment is made on the report.
Add comments from the Daily Ops Reports on the CEMS and seawater data and use them to
explain any anomalies in the emissions and discharge reports.
