## SECTION 1 ### 1\. Introduction _Background_ This ESMP has been requested as part of the Niger Basin Authority’s Water Resources Development and Sustainable Ecosystems Management Project (WRD-SEM). An important sub-component of this project is the rehabilitation of Kainji Hydropower Facility ($US 115.9 million, mainly for renewal of turbines) and Jebba Hydropower Facility ($US 11.7 million). Between them these two facilities provide most of Nigeria’s hydropower production and make an important contribution to national power supply. ### Previous Studies Neither facility has an operational environmental and social management plan. A previous ESMP by CIMA (2007) was apparently never finalised while EAECL undertook an audit for Kainji HEP also in 2007. There is little evidence that the findings of either of these reports have been implemented. This report now replaces the CIMA report. ### Report Content The current study reviews separately for each dam operational impacts and the limited construction impacts associated with the implementation of WRD-SEM. An overall Environmental Management Plan is provided together with appendices covering factors ancillary either to the ESMP or to the implementation of WRD-SEM or both. These are Introduction of an Environmental Management Systems, use of carbon credits, health and safety, waste management protocol, waste management plan, dam safety protocol, dam operation manual and preliminary training to be provided under this ESMP contract. The report has four sections. Section 1 is a general introductory section dealing with matters common to both dams. Section 2 deals with Kainji and Section 3 Jebba. Section 4 provides a combined Environmental Management Plan. ### 2\. Policy and Legal Framework The study has been undertaken in the broad context of international and national established procedures and legislation relating to hydropower plants and associated activities. Reference is made to the Equator Principles, World Bank Operational Procedures and safeguard policies, WHO, UK Environment Agency and all the relevant Nigerian policy and legislation at both Federal and State level. ### 3\. PHCN Institutional Arrangements The two power plants are managed by two separate companies, Kainji Hydroelectric plc (KHEPLC) and Jebba Hydroelectric plc (JHEPLC), both of which come under the overall umbrella of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria plc (PHCN). The overall structures of KHEPLC and JHEPLC are examined particularly with reference to their current environmental management through their Environmental Resettlement and Social Units (ERSUs). It is suggested that the term “re-settlement” be dropped from the title as it is anachronistic and encourages the impacted communities to hang onto a compensation culture. The units would therefore become just Environmental and Social Units (ESUs). Requirements for establishing Environmental Management Systems and proceeding towards ISO 14001 certification are set out. xiii * * * ## Kainji and Jebba Lakes xiv * * * ## Major Administrative Unit Map for the Kanji-Jebba Systems * * * ## Kainji Site Plan xvi * * * # Jebba Site Plan xvii * * * ## SECTION 2 Kainji Dam ## 4\. Management of the Dam _Present Operation of the Dam_ Kainji Dam is described in terms of the dam itself, the spillway, the lock, trash screens and instrumentation, storage of documentation and dam safety. Two documents have been developed; the first being Operational Procedures based entirely on the Operation Manual developed on completion of construction and the second on Dam Safety Protocol using an example from overseas as the framework for the development of safety procedures for Kainji dam. A review of alternative spilling arrangements is recommended together with the role of the lock’s function as an emergency spillway. Deficiencies in instrumentation were noted and also in the way that important reference documentation is stored. Recommendations for improvements are made. ## Power Generation A review of power output is provided together with an examination of the “Rule Curves”. Operation and maintenance is reviewed and improvements suggested together with workshop requirements and improvements to the Control Room. ## Flood Management Concerns about KHEPLC’s ability to deal with the extreme, flood event are examined. While existing procedures are found to be adequate there is a great deal of room for improvement including closer attention to the original operations documentation. A hydrological study for the lower Niger is recommended and it is proposed that the operation of the Kainji dam be reviewed in the light of the findings of this study should it be undertaken. This will be basis for the implementation of early flood warning system. ## Water Weed Water weed infestation and control is discussed. ## Flood Warning Communications Existing flood warning communications are examined and re commendations made for improvements mainly through improved muster points and much stronger community engagement to ensure the transmittal of speedy, accurate and relevant information to potentially affected communities. ## 5\. Impacts and Mitigation Proposals _Hydrology and Sedimentation_ The overall hydrology of the Niger is discussed together with the availability of data from gauging stations and the need for an updated hydrological assessment of river flows in the light of upstream developments. Also recommended is an improved telemetry system. It is noted that there is no information on the state of sedimentation in Lake Kainji although there is some anecdotal information that suggests there may be at least local problems. Recommendations are made for limited bathymetric surveys and sediment load sampling. ## Soil Erosion and Catchment Degradation Population pressure and the need to obtain firewood are leading to spoil erosion in some areas although Kainji Lake National Park is effective in controlling this impact in areas that come under its control. xviii * * * Recommendations are made for the use of satellite imagery to identify areas and causes of serious degradation. Water Quality Current actions aimed at maintaining water quality are reviewed and sources of pollution identified. Impacts arising from the WRD-SEM project are also discussed. Monitoring procedures, compliance with FME legislation and other standards, are discussed. Flora and Fauna The main impact discussed is that of fish. Fisheries production increased following the creation of the lake but has subsequently declined but appears still to be higher than that in the pre-dam situation. At the same time there appears to have been a substantial loss of diversity. KLNP do not report any major impact on terrestrial flora and fauna species. Public Health The expected range of illnesses and disease for a riverine community occur within the area including HIV/AIDS. There are relatively good local health facilities with a hospital provided by KHEPLC but it needs upgrading and an ambulance is recommended. Proposals are made for a variety of household level interventions to improved community based water treatment and also for waste management. Cultural and Historic Sites The loss of such sites was significant during construction of the dam but is no longer a major issue Project Traffic Transport and traffic impacts are considered in the light of the WRD-SEM proposals but are not considered likely to create a significant impact. Solid Waste The main waste types are identified together with areas where problems are considered to exist. Impacts under WRD-SEM are also listed including disposal of “dunnage” which refers to packaging of procured goods and hazardous wastes. However as most waste management activities are contracted out under PHCN directive improvements will be largely directed to wards managing the way that contractors operate. Impacts from liquid wastes are largely covered by the section on water quality already considered. * * * Apart from the general poor H&S culture there is no H&S safety training, maintenance of records and communication is poor although one or two areas of good practice are noted such as the Safety Tool- Box Talks. The inspection process is also weak. Also noted is a lack of care in the safe use of electricity and in some areas a lack of protective fencing and railings. Health conditions give less cause for concern and are largely covered under Public Health above. However some ergonomic deficiencies are noted. A complete approach to behavioural change is proposed through the introduction of a Health and Safety management system which will lead towards compliance with the standard OHSAS 18001- 2007. Details of the process for this are summarised and set out in an appendix. The need for H&S audits is emphasised and a list of equipment needs under the project is provided. ## 8\. Community Relations and Management Community problems are examined in the light of the background of the establishment of the project some 50 years ago. The main continuing problems are listed and the role of the recently formed HYPPADEC are discussed and highlighted as a likely source of difficulty for KHEPLC if on-going community issues are not fully addressed. The results of the public consultation meeting are presented ina an Appendix and KHEPLC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is discussed. While some CSR activities already exist eg the school and the hospital further activities could include lowering of school fees for non KHPLC staff, provision of boreholes, development of special electricity tariffs and provision of a separate supply and improvement of drainage facilities in some areas. In addition a range of community awareness programmes is recommended and details of a grievance mechanism are provided. A social survey of all estimated 200 communities affected by either dam is proposed as part of the ESMP. ## SECTION 3 Jebba Dam ## 9\. Management of the Dam ## Present Operation of the Dam Jebba Dam is described in terms of the dam itself, the spillway, the lock, trash screens and instrumentation, storage of documentation and dam safety. Two documentss have been developed (yet to be supplied) the first being Operational Procedures based entirely on the Operation Manual developed on completion of construction of Kainji dam and the second on Dam Safety using an example from overseas as the framework for the development of safety procedures for Jebba dam. Concerns relating to instrumentation, leakage and seepage on the left abutment of the spillway structure and erosion to the side walls of the spillway return channel are all noted. It is recommended that remote controlled piezometers be reinstated and regular data collection is started so that the seepage path for the left abutment leak is identified and remedial works identified and implemented. Further recommendations relate to instrumentation and general support facilities including document storage. ## Power Generation A review of power output is provided and the intention that the system be run in close conjunction with Kainji HEP plant upstream is noted. Day to day operation is essentially driven by the availability of water, availability of plant and the demands of the grid system xx * * * Recommendations are also made to identify the dam’s O&M manuals and follow them closely, develop maintenance schedules, improve workshop facilities and to train staff. _Flood Management_ Flood management at Jebba is closely linked to that at Kainji. It is recommended that the current procedures for flood management and data collection be maintained. The hydrological study for the lower Niger recommended for Kainji above is applicable to Jebba and should be extended to include tributaries joining the river below Kainji. Operational plans should be reviewed following the outputs from the hydrological study should it be implemented. _Flood Warning Communications_ Existing flood warning communications are examined and recommendations made for improvements mainly through improved muster points and much stronger community engagement to ensure the transmittal of speedy, accurate and relevant information to potentially affected communities. **10\. Impacts and Mitigation Proposals** _Hydrology and Sedimentation_ This section is covered by the same text as for Kainji above. _Soil Erosion and Catchment Degradation_ Shoreline erosion due to cultivation and vegetation removal is noted and it is recommended that areas of severe erosion be identified. A catchment management programme for implementation through LGAs is proposed. _Water Quality_ Current actions aimed at maintaining water quality are reviewed and sources of pollution identified. Impacts arising from the WRD-SEM project are also discussed. Monitoring procedures, compliant with FME legislation and other standards, are discussed. _Flora and Fauna_ The main impact discussed is that on fish. Data are poor and JHEPLC are encouraged to work with NIFFR to improve fisheries extension to the local population. _Public Health_ The expected range of illnesses and disease for a riverine community occur within the area including HIV/AIDS. There are relatively good local health facilities with a hospital provided by JHEPLC with relatively good facilities but these could be further improved Proposals are made for a variety of household level interventions to improved community based water treatment and also for waste management. _Cultural and Historic Sites_ The loss of such sites was of some significance during construction of the dam but is no longer a major issue. xxi * * * ## 11\. Waste Management _Solid Waste_ The main waste types are identified together with areas where problems are considered to exist. Impacts under WRD-SEM are also listed including disposal of “dunnage” which refers to packaging of procured goods and hazardous wastes. _Liquid Wastes_ Impacts from liquid wastes are largely covered by the section on water quality already considered. _Recommendations_ It is concluded waste management procedures at JHEPLC are largely adequate. Further improvement could be effected by the introduction of the waste management plan and a waste management protocol provided in an appendix. ## 12\. Health and Safety There is a Health and Safety policy signed by the Managing Director in 2001 which covers basic H&S practices. However the policy is generic, it has not been recently reviewed and few staff know about it. Standards are generally higher than at KHEPLC although not in all areas. For example there is no Emergency Response Procedure and there is no budget for safety training. Health conditions give less cause for concern and are largely covered under Public Health above. However some ergonomic deficiencies are noted. Also of concern is a lack of protective fencing and railings. A behavioural change approach is proposed through the introduction of a Health and Safety Management system which will lead towards compliance with the standard OHSAS 18001-2007. Details of the process for this are summarised and set out in an appendix. The need for H&S audits is emphasised and a list of equipment needs under the project is provided. **13\. Community Relations and Management** Community problems are examined in the light of the background of the establishment of the project some 25 years ago and the impacts of that event are still prominent in the community’s memory. There have been some poor public relations which led to the power plant being barricaded for two days in August 2008. Since then a Close Communities committee has been formed and this has improved relations Mitigations are proposed, such as the stakeholder forums, as a means to engage with communities, through flood plan mapping to clearly identify areas of risk and through development of JHEPLC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Some CSR activities already exist eg the school and the hospital; further activities are identified by the Technical Committee such as fisheries extension, alternative livelihoods assistance, improved public health and an awareness raising of the benefits that the dam brings. The results of the public consultation forums are presented in Appendix L and a social survey of all estimated 200 communities affected by either dam is proposed as part of the ESMP. Finally a grievance mechanism is provided. xxii * * * SECTION 4 Environmental Management Plan 14.

Introduction Contexte Cet ESMP (Environmental & Social Management Plan – Plan de gestion environnemental et social) a été demandé dans le cadre du projet de développement des ressources en eau et de gestion des écosystèmes renouvelables (Water Resources Development and Sustainable Ecosystems Management Project - WRD-SEM) de l’Agence du bassin du Niger (Niger Basin Authority – NBA). Un sous-composant important de ce projet est représenté par la réhabilitation des installations hydroélectriques de Kainji (115,9 millions USD, destinés essentiellement au renouvellement des turbines) et des installations hydroélectriques de Jebba (11,7 millions USD). A elles deux, ces installations fournissent la plus grande partie de la production d’hydroélectricité du Nigeria et apportent une contribution importante à l’approvisionnement en électricité national. Etudes antérieures Ni l’une ni l’autre des installations ne dispose d’un plan de gestion environnemental et social opérationnel. Un ESMP antérieur réalisé par CIMA (2007) n’a, apparemment, jamais été finalisé, alors qu’EAECL a entrepris un audit de l’énergie hydroélectrique (Hydro Electric Power – HEP) de Kainji, également en 2007. Il y a peu de signes indiquant que les constatations relevant de l’un ou l’autre de ces rapports ait donné lieu à une mise en œuvre. La présente étude examine séparément, pour chacun des barrages, les impacts opérationnels et les impacts de construction limités associés à la réalisation du WRD-SEM. Un Plan de gestion de l’environnement global est fourni ainsi que des annexes couvrant des facteurs connexes, soit à l’ESMP, soit à la mise en œuvre du WRD-SEM, ou aux deux. Il s’agit d’une introduction à un système de gestion de l’environnement, l’utilisation des crédits de carbone, la santé et la sécurité, le protocole de gestion des déchets, le plan de gestion des déchets, le protocole de sécurité des barrages et la formation préliminaire qui doit être fournie au titre de ce contrat d’ESMP. Le rapport comporte quatre sections. La Section 1 est une section de présentation générale traitant de sujets communs aux deux barrages ; la Section 2 traite de Kainji et la Section 3 traite de Jebba. La Section 4 fournit un Plan de gestion de l’environnement combiné. 2. Principe directeur et cadre juridique Les deux usines hydroélectriques sont gérées par des sociétés séparées : la Kainji Hydroelectric plc (KHEPLC) et la Jebba Hydroelectric plc (JHEPLC), toutes deux fonctionnant sous l’égide de la Power Holding Company of Nigeria plc (PHCN). L’étude a été entreprise dans le contexte plus large des procédures nationales et internationales établies et de la législation concernant les usines hydroélectriques et les activités y afférentes. * * * Il est suggéré d’abandonner le terme « ré-établissement », dans le titre de ces unités, car il est anachronique et il encourage les communautés touchées à s’accrocher à une culture d’indemnisation. Ces unités deviendraient donc tout simplement des unités environnementales et sociales (Environmental and Social Units - ESU). Les conditions requises pour établir des systèmes de gestion de l’environnement et progresser vers l’homologation ISO 14001 sont énoncées. SECTION 2 Barrage de Kainji 4. Gestion du barrage Exploitation actuelle du barrage Le barrage de Kainji est décrit dans les termes du barrage lui-même : le déversoir, l’écluse, les cribles à déchets et l’instrumentation, l’archivage de la documentation et la sécurité du barrage. Deux protocoles ont été élaborés : le premier consistant en des Procédures d’exploitation, reposant entièrement sur le Manuel d’exploitation élaboré lors de l’achèvement de la construction, et le deuxième concernant la Sécurité du barrage, utilisant comme cadre un exemple tiré d’un cas situé outremer pour l’élaboration de procédures de sécurité pour le barrage de Kainji. Un examen d’autres dispositions de déversement est recommandé ainsi que du rôle de la fonction de l’écluse comme déversoir d’urgence. Des manques ont été remarqués dans l’instrumentation et aussi dans la manière dont la documentation de référence importante est archivée. Des recommandations d’amélioration sont présentées. Production d’électricité Un bilan du rendement en électricité est fourni ainsi qu’un examen de la courbe des niveaux optimaux. L’exploitation et la maintenance sont examinées et des améliorations sont suggérées ainsi que les exigences concernant l’atelier et les améliorations de la salle des commandes. Les préoccupations relatives à la capacité de la KHEPLC à gérer un événement de crue extrême sont examinées. Alors qu’il a été noté que les procédures existantes sont adéquates, il y a encore beaucoup de possibilités d’amélioration, y compris une attention particulière qui devrait être apportée à la documentation d’exploitation originale. Une étude hydrologique du Niger inférieur est recommandée et il est proposé d’entreprendre un examen de l’exploitation du barrage de Kainji à la lumière des constatations de la présente étude. Les communications d’avertissement de crue existantes sont examinées et des recommandations d’amélioration sont présentées, surtout par le biais de points de rassemblement améliorés et d’un engagement beaucoup plus fort de la communauté pour assurer la transmission rapide d’informations précises et pertinentes aux communautés potentiellement affectées. Hydrologie et envasement Communication des avertissements de crue * * * Il est noté qu’il n’y a aucune information sur l’état d’envasement du lac Kainji, bien qu’il existe quelques renseignements anecdotiques suggérant qu’il pourrait y avoir des problèmes au moins au niveau local. Des recommandations sont présentées pour des relevés bathymétriques limités et un échantillonnage de la charge solide. _Erosion du sol et dégradation du bassin de captage_ La pression démographique et le besoin d’obtenir du bois de chauffage conduisent à une érosion du sol dans certaines zones, bien que le parc national du lac de Kainji soit efficace dans le contrôle de cet impact dans les endroits placés sous son influence. Des recommandations sont faites pour l’utilisation des images satellite pour identifier les zones et les endroits où la dégradation est grave. ## Qualité de l’eau Les actions actuelles visant à maintenir la qualité de l’eau sont examinées et les sources de pollution sont identifiées. Les impacts émanant du projet WRD-SEM sont également discutés. Les procédures de surveillance et la conformité à la législation du FME (Federal Ministry of _Environment – Ministère fédéral de l’environnement) et aux autres normes sont également discutées._ ## Faune et flore Le principal impact discuté est celui concernant la pêche. La production de la pêche a augmenté à la suite de la création du lac, mais elle a ensuite baissé. Pourtant, elle semble être toujours plus élevée que ce qu’elle était dans la situation antérieure au barrage. Dans le même temps, il semble qu’il y ait eu une perte de diversité substantielle. Le KLNP ne déclare aucun impact majeur sur les espèces de la faune et de la flore terrestres. ## Santé publique La gamme des maladies et affections attendues dans une communauté fluviale est présente dans la région, y compris le VIH/sida. Il y a des installations médicales locales relativement bonnes, avec un hôpital fourni par la KHEPLC, mais il a besoin d’être amélioré et une ambulance est recommandée. Des propositions sont faites pour toute une variété d’interventions au niveau des ménages pour améliorer le traitement de l’eau fondé sur la communauté et aussi pour la gestion des déchets. ## Sites culturels et historiques La perte de ces sites a été importante pendant la construction du barrage, mais ce n’est plus un problème majeur. ## Circulation associée au projet Les impacts du transport et de la circulation sont examinés à la lumière des propositions de WRD- SEM, mais on ne les considère pas comme susceptibles d’être significatifs. ## 6\. Gestion des déchets _Déchets solides_ Les principaux types de déchets solides sont identifiés ainsi que les zones où l’on considère qu’il existe des problèmes. Les impacts au titre du WRD-SEM sont également énumérés, y compris l’évacuation des emballages protecteurs associés à l’emballage des biens acquis et des déchets dangereux. ## Déchets liquides Les impacts causés par les déchets liquides sont largement couverts par la section sur la qualité de l’eau déjà prise en considération. xxvii * * * _Recommandations_ Il est conclu qu’il y a des possibilités d’amélioration de la gestion des déchets normaux. Un plan de gestion des déchets et un protocole de gestion des déchets sont fournis sous forme une annexe. Cependant, comme la plus grande partie des activités de gestion des déchets fait l’objet d’un contrat de sous-traitance au titre de la directive de PHCN, les améliorations viseront largement la gestion de la manière dont les prestataires de services opèrent. ## 7\. Santé et sécurité Il n’y a aucune preuve qu’une politique de santé et de sécurité soit en place et les pratiques existantes sont généralement très faibles en l’absence d’une planification correcte ou d’une documentation formelle des procédures normalisées. Aucune évaluation de risque n’est réalisée et aucun processus de contrôle des risques n’est en place, et nous considérons cela comme un domaine de préoccupation majeur représentant un sujet de risque financier significatif pour la KHEPLC. Mis à part une faible culture de santé et de sécurité, il n’y a aucune formation sur la santé et la sécurité, aucun dossier n’est tenu à jour et la communication est mauvaise, bien qu’un ou deux domaines de bonne pratique aient été remarqués, comme les réunions d’information sur la sécurité. Le processus d’inspection est également faible. Il a également été remarqué un manque de soin dans l’utilisation de l’électricité et, dans certains lieux, un manque de clôtures de protection et de rambardes. Les conditions sanitaires présentent moins de sujets de préoccupation et sont largement couvertes par la section sur la santé publique ci-dessus. Cependant, certains manques dans le domaine de l’ergonomie ont été notés. Une approche complète à l’égard du changement des comportements est proposée grâce à l’introduction d’un système de gestion de la santé et de la sécurité qui mènera à la conformité à la norme OHSAS 18001-2007. Les détails concernant le processus y afférent sont résumés et énoncés dans une annexe. Le besoin d’audits de santé et de sécurité est souligné et une liste des besoins en équipements au titre du projet est fournie. ## 8\. Relations avec la communauté et gestion de ces relations Les problèmes communautaires sont examinés à la lumière du contexte de l’établissement du projet, il y a quelques 50 ans. Les principaux problèmes qui continuent sont énumérés. Avec le rôle de la Commission pour le développement des zones productrices d’hydroélectricité (Hydroelectric Power _Producing Areas Development Commission – HYPPADEC), ils sont discutés et soulignés comme une_ source de difficulté probable pour la KHEPLC si les problèmes communautaires qui se poursuivent ne sont pas pleinement traités. Les résultats des forums réunissant les parties prenantes sont présentés (Annexe J) et la responsabilité sociale d’entreprise (Corporate Social Responsibility-CSR) de la KHEPLC est discutée. Alors que certaines activités liées à la CSR existent déjà, par exemple, l’école et l’hôpital, d’autres activités pourraient inclure l’abaissement des frais scolaires pour ceux qui ne font pas partie du personnel de la KHPLC, la fourniture de forages, la mise au point de tarifs spéciaux et la fourniture d’un approvisionnement séparé et l’amélioration d’installations de drainage dans certaines zones. De plus, une série de programmes de sensibilisation de la communauté est recommandée et les détails d’un mécanisme de règlement des griefs sont fournis. Un sondage social des 200 communautés dont on estime qu’elles sont affectées par l’un ou l’autre des barrages est proposé dans le cadre de l’ESMP. xxviii * * * ## SECTION 3 Barrage de Jebba ## 9\. Gestion du barrage ## Exploitation actuelle du barrage Le barrage de Jebba est décrit dans les termes du barrage lui-même : le déversoir, l’écluse, les cribles à déchets et l’instrumentation, l’archivage de la documentation et la sécurité du barrage. Deux documentes ont été élaborés (qui n’ont pas encore été fournis) : le premier consistant en des Procédures d’exploitation, reposant entièrement sur le Manuel d’exploitation élaboré lors de l’achèvement de la construction, et le deuxième concernant la Sécurité du barrage, utilisant comme cadre un exemple tiré d’un cas situé outremer pour l’élaboration de procédures de sécurité pour le barrage de Jebba. Les préoccupations liées à l’instrumentation, aux fuites et aux infiltrations sur l’appui gauche de la structure du déversoir et l’érosion des parois latérales du canal de retour du déversoir sont toutes notées. Il est recommandé de rétablir les piézomètres commandés à distance et de commencer une collecte régulière de données de façon que la voie d’infiltration de la fuite de l’appui gauche soit identifiée et que des travaux de remise en état soient déterminés et exécutés. D’autres recommandations concernent l’instrumentation et les installations de soutien générales, comme l’archivage des documents. ## Production d’électricité Un examen du rendement en électricité est fourni et l’intention d’exploiter le système en étroite relation avec l’usine HEP de Kainji en amont est notée. L’exploitation au jour le jour est essentiellement pilotée par la disponibilité de l’eau, la disponibilité de l’usine et les demandes du réseau national Des recommandations sont également présentées pour identifier les manuels d’exploitation et de maintenance du barrage et pour les respecter étroitement, définir des calendriers de maintenance, améliorer les installations d’atelier et former le personnel. ## Gestion des crues La gestion des crues à Jebba est étroitement liée à celle de Kainji. Il est recommandé de maintenir les procédures actuelles pour la gestion des crues et la collecte des données. L’étude hydrologique du Niger inférieur recommandée plus haut pour Kainji s’applique à Jebba et devrait être étendue pour inclure les affluents qui se jettent dans le fleuve au-dessous de Kainji. Les plans opérationnels devraient être revus à la suite des résultats obtenus de l’étude hydrologique, si cette dernière devait être réalisée. ## Communication des avertissements de crue Les communications d’avertissement de crue existantes sont examinées et des recommandations d’amélioration sont présentées, surtout par le biais de points de rassemblement améliorés et d’un engagement beaucoup plus fort de la communauté pour assurer la transmission rapide d’informations précises et pertinentes aux communautés potentiellement affectées. ## 10\. Impacts et propositions d’atténuation ## Hydrologie et envasement Cette section est couverte par le même texte que celui concernant Kainji ci-dessus. _Erosion du sol et dégradation du bassin de captage_ L’érosion de la zone côtière due aux cultures et à l’élimination de la végétation est notée et il est recommandé d’identifier les zones d’érosion sévère. Un programme de gestion du bassin de captage xxix en vue de sa mise en œuvre par l’intermédiaire des instances locales (Local Government Area – LGA) est proposé. _Qualité de l’eau_ Les actions actuelles visant à maintenir la qualité de l’eau sont examinées et les sources de pollution sont identifiées. Les impacts émanant du projet WRD-SEM sont également discutés. Les procédures de surveillance et la conformité à la législation du FME (Federal Ministry of _Environment – Ministère fédéral de l’environnement) et aux autres normes sont également discutées._ _Faune et flore_ Le principal impact discuté est celui concernant la pêche. Les données sont mauvaises et la JHEPLC est encouragée à travailler avec l’Institut national de la recherche sur la pêche en eau douce (National Institute of _Freshwater Fisheries Research – NIFFR) pour améliorer l’extension de la pêche à la population locale._ _Santé publique_ La gamme des maladies et affections attendues dans une communauté fluviale est présente dans la région, y compris le VIH/sida. Il y a des installations médicales locales relativement bonnes, avec un hôpital fourni par la JHEPLC, mais elles pourraient être encore améliorées. Des propositions sont faites pour toute une variété d’interventions au niveau des ménages pour améliorer le traitement de l’eau fondé sur la communauté et aussi pour la gestion des déchets. _Sites culturels et historiques_ La perte de ces sites a été importante pendant la construction du barrage, mais ce n’est plus un problème majeur. **11\. Gestion des déchets** _Déchets solides_ Les principaux types de déchets solides sont identifiés ainsi que les zones où l’on considère qu’il existe des problèmes. Les impacts au titre du WRD-SEM sont également énumérés, y compris l’évacuation des emballages protecteurs associés à l’emballage des biens acquis et des déchets dangereux. _Déchets liquides_ Les impacts causés par les déchets liquides sont largement couverts par la section sur la qualité de l’eau déjà prise en considération. _Recommandations_ Il est conclu que les procédures de gestion des déchets à la JHEPLC sont largement insuffisantes. Des améliorations supplémentaires pourraient être effectuées par l’introduction d’un plan de gestion des déchets et d’un protocole de gestion des déchets fournis sous forme une annexe. ## 12\. Santé et sécurité Il existe un règlement de santé et de sécurité qui a été signé par le Directeur général en 2001 et qui recouvre les pratiques de santé et de sécurité élémentaires. Cependant, le règlement est générique, il n’a pas été revu récemment et peu de membres du personnel en sont informés. Les normes sont généralement plus élevées qu’à la KHEPLC, bien que cela ne soit pas vrai pour tous les domaines. Par exemple, il n’y a pas de Procédure d’intervention d’urgence et il n’y a aucun budget pour la formation sur la sécurité. xxx * * * Les conditions sanitaires présentent moins de sujets de préoccupation et sont largement couvertes par la section sur la santé publique ci-dessus. Cependant, certains manques dans le domaine de l’ergonomie ont été notés. Une approche complète à l’égard du changement des comportements est proposée grâce à l’introduction d’un système de gestion de la santé et de la sécurité qui mènera à la conformité à la norme OHSAS 18001-2007. Les détails concernant le processus y afférent sont résumés et énoncés dans une annexe. Le besoin d’audits de santé et de sécurité est souligné et une liste des besoins en équipements au titre du projet est fournie. 13. Relations avec la communauté et gestion de ces relations Les problèmes communautaires sont examinés à la lumière du contexte de l’établissement du projet, il y a quelques 25 ans et les impacts causés par cet événement sont encore saillants dans la mémoire communautaire. Il y a eu quelques relations publiques de mauvaise qualité qui ont conduit au fait que l’usine hydroélectrique a été barricadée pendant deux jours en août 2008. Depuis lors, un Comité des communautés proches a été créé et cela a amélioré les relations. Des mesures d’atténuation sont proposées, telles que les forums réunissant les parties prenantes comme moyen de communiquer avec les communautés, grâce à l’établissement d’une cartographie du plan de crue visant à identifier les zones de risque et au développement de la responsabilité sociale d’entreprise (Corporate Social Responsibility - CSR) de la JHEPLC. Certaines activités liées à la CSR existent déjà, par exemple, l’école et l’hôpital ; d’autres activités sont identifiées par le Comité technique, comme l’extension de la pêche, une assistance à d’autres moyens d’existence, une santé publique améliorée et un renforcement de la sensibilisation aux avantages apportés par le barrage. De plus, une série de programmes de sensibilisation de la communauté est recommandée et les détails d’un mécanisme de règlement des griefs sont fournis. Les résultats du deuxième forum des parties prenantes sont présentés en Annexe J et un sondage social des 200 communautés dont on estime qu’elles sont affectées par l’un ou l’autre des barrages est proposé dans le cadre de l’ESMP. Enfin, un mécanisme de règlement des griefs est fourni. | 1 | Hydrologie-Modélisation hydrologique, relevé bathymétrique, cartographie de la plaine d'inondation, Communication des avertissements de crue, etc. | | --- | --- | | 2 | Evaluation de la dégradation du bassin de captage | | 3 | Instrumentation du barrage, Kainji | | 4 | Mise à niveau de l'atelier, Kainji | | 5 | Instrumentation du barrage, Jebba | | 6 | Sécurité du barrage, Jebba | | 7 | Mise à niveau de l'atelier, Jebba | 14.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Location and Description of the Existing Power Plants Kainji and Jebba dams are located across Niger River, which originates from Loma Mountains, at the border between Sierra Leone and Guinea, in the Fouta Djallon Region, the 2 water tower of West Africa. The Niger River basin is 1.5 million km and is shared by nine countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivore, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Chad (Fig 1.1). Kainji dam is located in Borgu LGA of Niger State and Jebba dam is located between Niger and Kwara States (Fig 1.3 and 1.4). Kainji and Jebba hydropower plants are located on the Niger River in Eastern Nigeria, approximately 100 km apart (Fig 1.2). They have installed hydropower capacity of 760 MW and 578MW respectively. Kainji powerhouse is equipped with eight turbine-alternator groups including four Kaplan type rated at 80 MW, two turbines also Kaplan type rated at 100 MW and two propeller turbines rated at120 MW. The available head ranges between 23.8 m and 41.2 m according to the water level in the reservoir. Provision was made for a further four turbines in the dam structure but these were never installed. The development perimeter comprises the main concrete gravity dam with earth embanked dams on either side of the main and saddle dams, which closes a secondary valley, and two gates. The main dam is 550m long with a maximum height of 64m. It comprises the water intakes, the flood evacuator and the abutments. The powerhouse is located downstream of the dam, on the right bank, and at right angles to the water intakes. The reservoir, which presently forms the Lake Kainji, is 136 km long and has a capacity of c15 billion m³. Jebba dam is earth and rock-fill and is coupled with several auxiliary dams and infrastructure. The main dam is located to the south and its imperviousness is secured by an upstream blanket. It is followed by a lock and the auxiliary concrete dams 4, 3 and 2. Between these auxiliary dams there is a spillway and the powerhouse with water inlet. The emergency reinforced spillway and auxiliary dam 1 are composed of a dike of the same type as the main dam. A saddle dam, of the same type as the main dam, closes a secondary valley. The normal operating level is 103.0 metres. The powerhouse is equipped with six turbines and six turbine-alternator groups. Each of the The powerhouse is equipped with six turbines and six turbine-alternator groups. Each of the propeller turbines is rated at 96.4 MW for a net head and 102 MW at maximum output. The total nominal power installed is 578 MW. * * * **Fig 1.1 River Niger Basin** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2010 – Section 1 factors common to both dams_ _Final Report_ * * * **Fig 1.2 Kainji and Jebba Lakes** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2010 – Section 1 factors common to both dams_ _Final Report_ * * * **Fig 1.3 Major Administrative Unit Map for the Kanji-Jebba Systems** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2010 – Section 1 factors common to both dams_ _Final Report_ * * * **Fig 1.4: Local Government Areas in the Kainji-Jebba Area** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2010 – Section 1 factors common to both dams_ _Final Report_ * * * 1.2 Niger Basin Authority The Niger River basin is 1.5 million km2 and is shared by nine countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Chad) (Fig 1.1). The population of the basin is about 100 million people, of which around 80% live in Nigeria. The World Bank identifies the main pressures facing the basin as being: • Increasing population and vulnerable groups • Degraded environment • Unutilised development potential • Inadequate operation and maintenance of existing water infrastructure • Competitive unilateral development and the Niger Basin Authority’s (NBA’s) inefficiencies. The Niger Basin Authority (1980), successor to the Niger River Commission (1963), was established to foster, promote and co-ordinate studies and programmes relating to the Niger River basin. The Authority is required to promote co-operation among the member countries and to ensure integrated development of its resources, notably in the fields of energy, water resources, agriculture, forestry, exploitation, transport and communication and industry. However until the Heads of the Basin States acknowledged the need for much greater cooperation in 2002 the NBA was unable to implement its mandate. The Declaration of Paris on the "principles of management and good governance for sustainable and shared development of the Niger Basin" was signed in April 2004 by the nine Heads of State and Government. 1.3 The WRD-SEM Project 1. NBA institutional strengthening and capacity building (US$ 7.7 million). b. Rehabilitation of Jebba Hydropower Dam (US$ 11.7 million). c. Assessing optimisation and management options for the development of regional water infrastructure (US$ 10.9 million). 3. Sustainable management of selected degraded ecosystems and rehabilitation of small water infrastructure (US$ 39.8 million). * * * Sub-component 2.1 comprises: i) Rehabilitation and harmonisation of productive electromechanical equipment to restore the available capacity from the current 480 MW up to the total installed capacity of 760 MW. ii) Rehabilitation of auxiliary services. iii) Rehabilitation of the navigation lock. iv) Upgrading instrumentation and monitoring equipment. v) Improvement of the flood warning systems and development of a decision support and management system. vi) Implementation of the environmental action plan to mitigate potential impact of the rehabilitation of Kainji and Jebba sites. vii) Operational support and reinforcement of PHCN and the National Focal Structure in Nigeria. Subcomponent 2.2 for Jebba Dam comprises ii) Rehabilitation of auxiliary services. i) Selected rehabilitation of electro-mechanical equipment to ensure the availability of the entire installed capacity of 578 MW. iii) Civil works for stabilisation of the tailrace channel and rehabilitation of the upper navigation lock. iv) Upgrading of instrumentation and monitoring equipment. v) Prevention of tree invasion. vi) Reinforcement of the maintenance workshops. • EAECL: Environmental Audit Report for Kainji Hydro-Electric plc. July 2007. 1.4 Kainji and Jebba Dams’ Contribution to Nigeria’s Power Supply Kainji’s installed capacity is 760 MW but it currently has a maximum available capacity of 460 MW, owing to the decommissioning in 2000 of Unit 5 and the poor status of Units 6, 9, 10 and 12\. Jebba, located 100 km downstream of Kainji, has an installed capacity of 578.4 MW. The turbines at Jebba are reported to be in good working condition. This report is an update of the CIMA and EAECL reports. * * * 1.6 Early Flood Warning System This report has also dealt extensively with the existing flood warning communication system and proposal under Chapter 4 Dam management. The procurement documents for implementation of the early flood warning system are included in Service Package 1. 1.7 ESMP Study Area The impact area is taken as extending from the head of Kainji Lake to the confluence of the Niger and Kaduna Rivers at Pategi as stated in the Atkins offer of services. The reason for this is that there are very significant flows joining the Niger from the Kaduna and even more significant flows joining from the Benue at Lokoja. This is discussed further in section 5.1.2. Once the hydrological model is developed, as proposed under the ESMP (see Chapter 14), it will be possible to determine the nature of downstream impacts, if any, below Pategi and this should be specifically addressed in the work proposed under Service Package 1. As part of the work on the hydrological model, the nature of any downstream impacts from the Kainji and Jebba rehabilitation will be identified. In addition, the water management of the dam should be adapted (fine-tuned) based on the results of the hydrological model. If any significant downstream impacts are determined, a downstream induced impacts management plan will be prepared. This work will be completed under service package 1 and included in the PHCN procurement plan. 1.8 ESMP Focus and Structure The focus of this ESMP is principally on operational procedures and considerations since both power plants have been in operation for several decades. However environmental factors related particularly to the installation of the new turbines at Kainji are also considered. The ESMP is in four sections. This first section (chapters 1-3) covers the introduction, legal and institutional factors common to both dams. There are eight appendices (A to M) which apply to both dams. They cover A) Environmental Management Systems (EMS), B) Carbon Financing, C) Health and Safety, D) Waste Management Protocol and Plan, E) Social Survey Rapid Assessment, F) Training Conducted, G) Operation and Maintenance Plan, H) Emergency Preparedness Plan, I) Instrumentation Plan, J) Contractor’s EMP, K) Public Consultation August 2010, and L) Terms of Reference for the ESMP Update. Section 2 provides the ESMP for Kainji in Chapters 4 to 8 covering management of the dam, current impacts and mitigation proposals, waste management, health and safety and community relations and management. Section 4 provides the combined summary Environmental Management Plan for both dams. * * * The Dam Safety Protocol and Safety Plans are presented in separate documents each for Kainji and Jebba. The report layout is presented in Table 1.1. 1.8.2 Protocol Documents The following protocol documents are presented in the Appendices 1. Occupational Health and Safety Management System (Appendix C) 2. Waste Management Protocol and Plan (Appendix D) 3. Emergency Preparedness Plan (Appendix H) 4.

POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK 2.1 International Framework 2.1.1 Equator Principles The Equator Principles (July 2006) have been adopted by financial institutions to ensure that projects being financed are developed in a manner that is socially responsible and reflect sound environmental management practices. There are nine principles that mainly apply to new or up-graded works. Principle 1 relates to categorisation. Projects are rated Category A to C with C being projects “with minimal or no social and environmental impacts”. However no guidelines are provided for rating existing projects. Principle 4 relates to an Action Plan and Management System and is the most relevant Principle for existing facilities. It states that (for Category A and Category B projects) “borrowers will build on, maintain or establish a Social and Environmental Management System that addresses the management of impacts, risks and corrective actions required to comply with applicable host country social and environmental laws and regulations”. Principle 5 relates to Consultation and Disclosure and calls for affected communities to have access to “free, prior and informed consultation” while Principle 6 states the need to have a grievance mechanism in place. 2.1.2 World Bank and IFC Principles Safeguard policies triggered by the overall WRD-SEM project (as identified in the Project Appraisal Document (PAD)) are as follows: • Physical Cultural Resources (OP 4.11) • Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) OP 4.01, OP 4.04, OP 4.37 and OP 7.50 are the main safeguard policies applying to this component of the project. • Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) • Forests (OP 4.36) • Natural Habitats (OP 4.04) * * * 2.2 Policies and Legislation 2.2.1 International Important references relating to water quality are as follows: • Guidelines for safe recreational water environments, World Health Organisation, 2003. • WHO. Monitoring bathing waters- A practical Guide to the Design and Implementation of Assessments. • Monitoring Programmes. World Health organisation, 2000. • General Sampling of the Aquatic Environment (ES 001). UK Environment Agency, 2009. • Monitoring of Discharges to water and sewer – M18. UK Environment Agency, 2009. The international conventions considered relevant to waste management include: • Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (1992);Bamako Convention on the ban on the Import into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Wastes within Africa (1998). • The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. The detailed rules for the implementation of the Protocol were adopted at COP 7 in Marrakesh in 2001, and are called the “Marrakesh Accords.” It is an international agreement linked to the UNFCC. Its three mechanisms are (a) Emissions trading (carbon market), (b) clean development mechanism (CDM) and joint implementation (JI) Both of these conventions are binding in Nigeria. However, they are relevant to transboundary (international) waste movement and should be adhered to in the unlikely event that such movements should be considered necessary as a means of waste management at the site. The waste management plan and protocols within this report are also expected to adhere to the principles outlined within these conventions. 2.2.2 National • National Policy on the Environment (FEPA 1999). • National Guidelines for Environmental Audit in Nigeria (FEPA 1999). • National Guidelines for Environmental Management System in Nigeria (FEPA 1999). • Law No. 37 of August 16, 1958: Forestry Act. • Environmental Impact Assessment Decree (Law No 86, 1992).

The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) was founded in 2007 and has since published a series of regulations of which the following are the most relevant: • National Environmental (Sanitation and Wastes Control) Regulations, 2009 • The National Environmental (Wetlands, River Banks and Lake Shores Protection) Regulations, 2009 • The National Environmental (Watershed, Hilly, Mountainous and Catchment Areas) Regulations, 2009 • Draft Policy, Guidelines and Strategic Plan on e-Waste Management 2.2.3 State Level The two principal states on the banks of river basin in the vicinity of Kainji and Jebba are Niger and Kwara. The state ministries and their roles are described below. Though some of the roles presented are not directly related to dam operation and the proposed project, KHEPLC and JHEPLC should be aware of them as lack of clarity of roles and misunderstanding between the companies and the communities should be avoided.

There are 423 members of staff at KHE as at 25th March 2010. The latest vacancy returns for 2010 also indicate 221 positions to be filled. There has been an embargo on recruitment of staff in recent years. The general opinion is that there are staff shortages in the organisation, especially in the engineering cadre. However, a detailed analysis has not been performed on staffing needs as there are no data on performance history or justifications for the various positions in the organization. 3.1.2 Staff Numbers • Public Affairs. • Fire and Safety; and • Public Affairs. * * * Fig 3.1: KHEPLC Organisation 3.1.3 In-House Training In-house training courses are organised for staff from time to time.

Units • Performance Management; • Internal Audit; • Internal Audit; • Procurement; and • Procurement; and • Public Affairs; 3.2.2 Staffing The two main divisions are headed by Assistant General Managers (AGM), the subdivisions, departments and units are headed by Principal Managers (PM). There are 415 members of staff at JHE as at the beginning of 2010 and 219 vacant positions for a total of 706 approved positions. There is no further staff breakdown by departments available. However a breakdown by positions is shown in Table 3.2. There has been an embargo on recruitment of staff in recent years. The general opinion is that there are staff shortages in the organisation, especially in the Control Room, Mechanical Departments (Maintenance of Turbines and Workshops, Protection, Control and Metering (PC&M), Dam Instrumentation, Human Resources (Security personnel, drivers and typists) and Hospital (Doctors and Nurses). However, a detailed analysis has not been performed on staffing needs as there are no data on performance history or justifications for the various positions in the organisation. The staff shortages in power generation, transmission and PC&M are deemed as critical to the continued performance of the organization.

It may be necessary to separate the clinics for staff and community. * * * 3.2.3 Data Gaps In order to carry out comprehensive institutional and training needs analysis the information requested on staff qualifications, job schedules and prior professional training of individual staff should be provided. Forms designed for this purpose has been delivered to JHEPLC. A request for in-house and external courses for staff attendance in and out of Nigeria was submitted to Human Resources. No information has been received to date. 3.3 Institutional Arrangement for Environmental and Social Management 3.3.1 Social and Environmental Audit Reports Observations and Present General Situation | Audit Result(Page 70-71 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation (2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The absence of a service or department exclusively in charge of management of environmental and social aspects(No.18 and44).The absence of skilled staff for management of environmental and social impacts of this type of installation(No.19 and45).The top management and staff are not very sensitive to the environmental and social issues.(No.20 and46).The lack of continuous monitoring of the real environmental and social impacts relating to the operation of the installations(No.17 and43).The environmental and social management plan resulting from the audit2002 has not been implemented due to lack of financial means and willingness of the top management(No.23 and49). | Measure3.26and4.26:To create and make operational an environment division which should be directly answerable to the Assistant General Manager(in case of Jebba it is under the direct supervision of the Assistant Director of Production).This division shall be in charge of the preparation of an action plan for the implementation of the recommendations made in the environmental auditsMeasure3.23and4.23:To conduct an environmental and social monitoring coupled with the production of an annual report.Measure3.24and4.24:To conduct an environmental and social audit of the installations every5 yearMeasure3.29and4.29:To finance the implementation of the short term measures of the environmental and social management plan.Measure3.30and4.30:To organise training sessions on the environmental management of hydro-power installations and the monitoring assessment of environmental and social impacts.Measure3.31and4.31:To conduct specialised training sessions for two high level staff of the firm in environmental management and in safety of hydropower installations. | The Kainji Environmental Audit2007 suggestedCreation of Health,Safety and Environment(HSE)unit with PM as head.Establishment of Environmental Management System(EMS).Establishment of Environmental Monitoring System,andAdequate staff trainingBoth KHEPCL and JHEPCL haveestablished ERSU committees and provided basic training on environment and social aspects.established regular water quality monitoring system.established Technical committee betweenKHEPCL/JHEPCL and Community to implement small scale social projects to support the local communities.conducted Environmental and Social Audits in2002,2007 and2010The environmental and social issues and monitoring outcomes are not adequately presented in the annual report.The current situation of ERSU functioning and community relationships is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | * * * ## 3.3.2 Environment, Resettlement and Social Units (ERSUs) The current Environment, Re-settlement and Social Units (ERSUs) at both Kainji and Jebba function as a committee on an ad-hoc basis at both dams. The organisation comprises members who have other primary assignments but have been co-opted into a committee to handle ERSU matters. Currently the PM (Environment and Chemistry) is the head of the ERSU at KHEPLC and PM (Hydrology) is heading the ERSU at JHEPLC. The Jebba ERSU formed a technical committee in January 2010 following the two day protest by youths of the close communities in August 2009. Although the Technical Committee is a good starting point to close the gap between the communities and the JHEPLC, the results not fruitful as there is a lack of decision making and follow-up due to the present ERSU set-up. The ERSU at Jebba has been divided into three sub-units covering (a) dam safety & monitoring, (b) environment and (c) community affairs and communication, whereas in Kainji they work as a single unit. As such the functioning of the ERSU is not satisfactory as all staff have functions outside the ERSU and there is no clearly identified unit with its own budget. Furthermore the use of the term “Re-settlement” implies that this subject is still an issue some 40 years after Kainji dam was commissioned. Hence we suggested that the ‘Resettlement’ aspect has to be removed from the title and the ERSU should be renamed as Environmental and Social Unit (ESU). Hereafter we name the ERSU as ESU in this report. We suggested that an ESU be formed combining the units relating to environment and social aspects. Additionally PM (Medical), PM (Education) and PM (Fire & Safety) should be brought under the newly created ESU which would be given AGM status in order to raise the importance of environmental and social issues. Fig 3.3 shows the proposed revised organisation at Kainji and Fig 3.4 the revised organisation at Jebba. The role and function of the ESU is discussed further in Chapter 14, Environmental Management Plan (sub-chapter 14.10). We also suggested an ESU at HQ in Abuja to coordinate the ESUs at the dam sites. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 1 factors common to both dams_ _Final Report_ * * * Fig 3.3: Proposed ESU Organisation under KHEPLC Fig 3.4: Proposed ESU Organisation under JHEPLC • Elements where new documentation and management controls will be required include: 3.4 Environmental Management System • An environmental policy, establishing the goals and direction of environmental management.

This would permit the project to generate Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) that can be traded on the carbon markets. We have suggested a series of workshops to assist with empowering senior management to develop and implement the EMS successfully to a level that is considered ready for certification.

Kainji dam provides the majority of storage with Jebba HEP operating largely as a run-of-river scheme. Apart from a single recorded use of the navigation lock at Kainji, soon after its completion, the lock has not been operated and no shipping passes upstream from the coast through Kainji to its headwaters. Demand from the power plant generally exceeds water availability with plant outage reducing load factors to less than 50% (although unit 8 had a load factor of over 70% in 2008). Inevitably the low load factors are generally the result of outages other than routine maintenance and the proposed works under the WRD-SEM project are intended to remedy this situation. 4.3 Condition and Maintenance of Structures 4.3.1 Introduction Kainji Dam comprises the civil dam structure, the gated spillway, the hydroelectric turbine and generators, and a navigation lock, with monitoring and control systems to all these, and M&E appurtenant works as shown in Table 4.2. Fig 4.1 represents all the associated structures to the Kainji dam and power house. * * * **Fig 4.1: Kainji Site Plan** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Table 4.2: Kainji HEP Plant Technical Details | Date of Construction | 1968 | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | Excavation (m³) | | Volume (m³) | Volume (m³) | | | | | | Dams | Type | Rock | Soft | Concrete | Earthfill | Length (m) | Foundation el.

The total length of this structure is 7,750m. A navigation lock is located at the left end of the left rockfill dam but this is not operable, which is a serious limitation as it is the nominated emergency spillway. Apart from this limitation the dam is generally in reasonable condition. 4.3.3 The Spillway The spillway comprises four 15.3m by 15.3m radial gates. These appear to be in reasonable condition although the bottom left corner of the first gate on the left is leaking. th Photo 4.1: Discharge from Kainji Dam Spillway on 6 October 2010 6mathbf{^{t h}} Operation of the spillway radial gates is essential for the dam’s safety. Consequently their maintenance is critical. Verbal evidence referred to the radial gates being inspected and re-built in 1998, when one gated failed to operate correctly. It is essential that all spillway gates are included in the regular inspections by independent experts as required by the sample dam safety framework in the Dam Safety Protocol submitted separately to this report. The inspection of each spillway gate should include its operation through the full travel from closed to fully open, when the loss of water is a small cost against the knowledge that it is fit for purpose. * * * The Operation Manual in Appendix I contains a copy of a Memorandum on Provision of Emergency Discharge Capacity (Ref. Kainji Development -Memorandum on Provision of Emergency Discharge Capacity, August 1966 for Niger Dams Authority by Balfour Beatty & Co. Ltd and NEDECO). The memo notes that an emergency spillway in the saddle dam was initially proposed but was not implemented “after it was found that the locks might provide sufficient emergency spilling capacity”. ## 4.3.4 The Lock It is understood that the navigation lock was last operated when passing the last ship on completion of the Kainji Dam, i.e. approximately 1968, and it is not, currently, operable. Should this structure not be required to be used as a lock it begs the question, why rehabilitate it? It is not normal practice to operate the gates of a lock under full head but equalise pressures by pumping water in or out of the lock, and then open or close the gates. Consequently simply rehabilitating the lock gates will not provide a suitable emergency gate facility. However it is likely that the main lock structure could be relatively easily revised to accommodate alternative gates designed to operate under these full heads. ## We recommend that: - A review of alternative spilling systems within the existing lock structure is carried out and their feasibility evaluated. These spilling systems might be a simple sliding radial gate with emergency upstream stop logs. - The lock is rehabilitated, or reconstructed to accommodate a recommended alternative spillway arrangement, as soon as possible to provide this emergency spillage capacity in the event of an extreme hydrological event, - Once rehabilitated, the lock and/or spillway is maintained and demonstrated to be fully operable on an annual basis and at each Dam Safety Inspection. ## 4.3.5 Powerhouse The Photos 4.2 and 4.3, taken from the wall of the powerhouse, shows the artistic section of the Kainji powerhouse. **Photo 4.2: Artistic Section of Kainji Power House** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 4.3: Continuation of Photo 4.2** ## 4.3.6 Trash Screens There is reported difficulty with lifting and/or closing intake trash screens and gates. These are included in a maintenance schedule, and would be subject to checks during the required independent expert inspections. ## 4.3.7 Instrumentation The sample framework requires that an owner of a dam such as Kainji install, monitor and maintain instrumentation to adequately monitor the performance of the dam. Kainji has satisfactory instrumentation installed but, following the site visit during June 2010; the need for rehabilitation of some of this was identified. A review by Coyne & Bellier in 1993 recommended the rehabilitation of instrumentation and this was carried out in 1997. However, the success of some of this rehabilitation was short lived and is not operating, or the measuring equipment is not useable. This circumstance would not be acceptable under a legislated sample Dam Safety Framework as, without the results of monitoring instrumentation, it is not possible to identify that there is no change to the condition of that part of the structure. The controlling body under the legislation of the sample framework would be empowered to instruct the owner to remediate these deficiencies, and should these works not be carried out, then have them executed by a third party who would then recover their costs from the owner. Monitoring instrumentation will be rehabilitated under the WRD-SEM. It cannot be understated that the safety of the dam is paramount to the continuing operation of the HEP, and dam’s capability to safely pass an extreme event flood. Dam safety instrumentation and the capability of the dam safety team to carry out their monitoring duties and analyses are essential. The capability of the dam safety team to successfully carry these out requires suitable equipment, transport, offices, computer facilities and workshops to maintain their equipment. The following deficiencies in the instrumentation and monitoring equipment were noted Instrumentation - Inverted plumb line-float and bath, base with marked steel - Blocked and damaged piezometers downstream of the saddle dam _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * - Terminal boards for the main dam piezometers - Totalising weir below the saddle dam Monitoring equipment - Plumb Micrometer, base and eyepiece Support facilities - Improved office IT equipment - Workshop with light repair tools - 4 wheel drive twin cab - Working lights to all shafts, tunnels and adits. **Photo 4.4: Inverted Plumb Line** ## (float disconnected with bath visible, and corroded vertical metal measuring bar) _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 4.5: Damaged Headworks to Piezometer** **Photo 4.6: Terminal Board for Pneumatic Piezometers** **Photo 4.7: Poor Access Road to Totalising Weir** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## 4.3.8 Storage of Documentation Much of the original design information on Kainji Dam is probably still available but it is not centrally located and not easily to hand. The drawing offices in Kainji contain numerous cabinets of drawings and documents that would be irreplaceable if lost or destroyed. Other useful documents were located in the library of the National Fisheries Institute. **Photo 4.8: Documents thrown in the open near Kainji Data Store House** A particular hazard to these hard copy documents is fire, which is discussed in Chapter 7. ## We recommend: - All documents identified in this report are located, - These documents are classified and registered, - These documents are scanned and digital copies stored in more than a single location, - Digital copies are made available to users as a local digital network and IT Department are developed under the proposed ESU. # 4.4 Power Generation ## 4.4.1 Introduction KHEPLC is one of the pioneer power generating companies under the control of The Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC (PHCN). Income is solely from the sale of electrical power generated by each company and the rate earned per unit of power is set by national Government. Thus the only way for KHELPC to increase the operating and maintenance budget is to increase the amount of power generated and sold. However, a way to reduce the costs of its generation is to improve the load factor of each power generating unit and for KHEPLC as whole. The amount of power generated is controlled by the quantity of water available, and its head, and also the amount of power the grid will accept at any one time. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## 4.4.2 Use of Rule Curves The hydrologic control of power is derived from a set of “Rule Curves”. These are also applicable to flood control and minimum flows downstream of Kainji dam, for the conjunctive use by Jebba HEP that also provides electrical power to the national grid, and for navigation. These form the basis of the Operation Manual in Appendix I under Niger Dams Authority Operation Manuals, 1100 – Hydrology and Reservoir Operation, 23 October 1970, that in turn refers to “Note on Reservoir Operation, February 1967.” For day to day operation Operation Manual 1100 states that much of the information in the “Note on Reservoir Operation, February 1967.” is not necessary. Rather, the most important information is embodied in the rule-curves shown in chart “Flood Control, Filling and Emptying Curves, No. 606-2432” in the Manual for Kainji Reservoir Operation. Regrettably this manual was not located during the site visit, but three Filling and Emptying Curves for 283MWh/h (or Less) generation, 660 MW-363 MWh/h generation, and 660 MW- 403 MWh/h generation from the “ Note on Reservoir Operation, February 1967.” are given in the Operation Manual Appendix I. Although the use of the rule curve is in evidence, in effect the day to day operation is determined by - availability of water, - availability of plant, and - demand, or grid system capacity, defined by National Control Centre (NCC) at Oshogbo. **Photo 4.9: Kainji Reservoir Rule Curve** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 4.4.3 Power Generation A summary of recorded power generation at Kainji in 2006 to 2008 is provided in the Table 4.3 below, derived from the 2008 annual report. Table 4.3: Kainji HEP Power Generation 2006, 2007 & 2008 (MWh) | | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JAN | 278086 | 226974 | 288577 | | FEB | 224865 | 186810 | 275747 | | MAR | 248107 | 299805 | 286227 | | APR | 231246 | 299348 | 254223 | | MAY | 174846 | 248057 | 187202 | | JUN | 137481 | 120051 | 117863 | | JUL | 135438 | 86015.3 | 91069 | | AUG | 108225 | 168660 | 141135 | | SEP | 146876 | 247023 | 226982 | | OCT | 226036 | 305307 | 253227 | | NOV | 211417 | 296300 | 288952 | | DEC | 244090 | 332399 | 284019 | | TOTAL | 2366416 | 2816749 | 2695223 | The installed capacity at Kainji HEP is nominally as shown in Table 4.4 below. Recent records indicate that the generation over the period 2006 to 2008 has remained relatively consistent, but that the generation for each unit at the Kainji HEP is low, with the highest Load Factor being 73% for unit 8 and below 50% for Units 10 to 12. Unit 5 has been out for several years. Table 4.4: Kainji HEP Nominal Installed Capacity (MW) 4.4.4 Operation and Maintenance | Unit No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Nominal Capacity(MW) | - | - | - | - | 120 | 120 | 80 | 80 | 80 | 80 | 100 | 100 | | Nominal power(MWh) | | | | | 876000 | 876000 | 700800 | 700800 | 700800 | 700800 | 1051200 | 1051200 | | Generation in 2008 | | | | | 0 | 558993 | 8047 | 508915 | 411463 | 304339 | 515810 | 387456 | | Load Factor | | | | | 0% | 64% | 1% | 73% | 59% | 43% | 49% | 37% | Following the rehabilitation of the plant, this must be fully maintained as defined under the Operation and Maintenance Manuals. We have recommended that all manuals are located, registered and digitised. These provide the basis for all O&M. * * * However, several matters might be addressed that would be expected to have a positive impact on the generated output. Whilst accepting that the plant is over 50 years old, general cleanliness and tidiness of the plant and offices might be improved. Cleanliness is generally a matter of implementation rather than equipment and materials and can be easily demonstrated by “before and after” photographs. Minor maintenance might correct a Health and Safety hazard that was noted, that of open power points such as light switches and plugs, and particularly the absence of light in shafts, tunnel and adits. ## 4.4.5 Workshop Requirements The major maintenance requirement is the provision of workshop facilities and equipment for correctly trained staff. We recommend that the main heavy mechanical workshop is rehabilitated with: - the oil and grease engrained flooring being removed and replaced with a suitable workshop floor material - facility to collect and drain liquid waste - aged plant is replaced including o a new digital heavy lathe o a new digital heavy drill press o additional tool-boxes with tools and new replacement tools **Photo 4.10: Kainji HP Plant Workshop Area** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## 4.11: Lathe in the Workshop **Photo 4.12: Power Drill in the Workshop** The light mechanical workshop is suitable but contains minimal equipment. This should be remedied to support the achievements to date by this team. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 4.13: Workshop Floor** **Photo 4.14: Storage of Equipment** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 4.15: Storage of Instruments and Office Working Area** It is understood a list of this equipment has been collated by the electrical maintenance staff. An electrical workshop also requires additional equipment and this has been listed by the staff. Equally important is the requirement to maintain all monitoring and control equipment, which is under the KHEPLC maintenance department. This unit maintains all monitoring and alarm equipment in the control room. Recent experience demonstrated their capability when identifying a sensor within windings was at fault rather than the alarm dial, or the windings themselves. We recommend that improved office and workshop facilities are provided for this team. We also recommend that the invaluable manuals within these offices are identified and registered before being digitised. We understand that the KHEPLC maintenance staff have identified additional equipment which may be included under the WRD-SEM Project. ## 4.4.6 Control Room The control room of the power plant is in good condition. However, it is a based largely on analogue data transfer and readout. Some digitisation has been introduced but this has not always been successful. A new digital operator station of unit 11 was provided in 2002 following its reconditioning but the station has not been operating under “remote auto” in the control room since 2006 necessitating unit 11 being operated at the unit under “local remote”. The capability of KHEPLC maintenance, both staff and facilities, could be upgraded to enable them to remedy this. Particularly since additional digitisation is inevitable as units are upgraded. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * The control room houses an old Siemens type “Sequence of Event Recorder”, which has not operated for many years. We consider the KHEPLC, combining its strategic importance with its age, warrants this facility and we recommend its replacement under the WRD-SEM project. **Photo 4.16: Old Siemens Sequence of Event Recorder** # 4.5 Flood Management ## 4.5.1 Management of an Extreme Flood Event There is concern that Kainji dam is not prepared for an extreme hydrological event such as a flood of 10,000m3/s for the following reasons: - An emergency spillway was excluded from construction on the expectation that the navigation lock could be opened in the event of such a flood however the navigation lock is not operable. - It is not apparent that a filling and emptying curve is being used as a “Flood Rule Curve”. - There have been recent instances of mechanical failure of opening or closing gates and screens. Hydrological prediction of floods is reliant on the collection of data from the data bank of Niger River gauging station data held in Bamako, the capital of Mali. This is collected by staff from Kainji in September/October for use in predicting the Black Floods at Kainji in January and the White Floods peaks in September. The Black Flood is a term that refers to flow generated in the upper reaches of the Niger from which much of the suspended load has already been shed much further upstream. The White Flood refers to sediment rich flows generated by runoff from the catchment immediately upstream from Kainji. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 4.5.2 Recommendations Existing operation and maintenance procedures should be maintained but other procedures are implemented following implementation of recommendations for a hydrological study of the Niger River that includes a flood study, and procedures for improving transfer of data from gauging stations upstream of Kainji dam. Use of the Flood Rule Curve is described in the Operation Manual in Appendix I. We recommend that this curve is used in a simulation exercise to ensure that staff are familiar with the procedure. Following implementation of the recommendations for improvements in hydrological management, we recommend that the Flood Rule Curves are upgraded. 4.6 Water Weed 4.6.1 Impact Water Hyacinth (Eichchornia crassipes (Martius)) first appeared in 1989 and by 1995, it covered 23% of the lake surface area (Ayeni et.al., 1995). The impacts of water hyacinth are as a hindrance to boat traffic, it harbours snakes, blocks beaches, dislodges set nets, kills livestock, kills the Niger grass on which livestock feeds and reduces fish breeding grounds. NIFFR launched a project ‘the Nigerian-German Kainji Lake Fisheries Promotion Project (NG- KLFPP) in 1996 and undertook research on various methods to control water hyacinth. The control measures include, construction of a barrier at the entry point of the Niger into Kainji Lake (proved to be more effective as more hyacinth started to come with the black flood), biological control measures using weevils (Neochetina Bruchi (Hustache) and Neochetina Eichhorniae (Warner)), mechanical removal of weeds using boats and natural control during drawdowns (drying and burning) at low water levels. Mechanical removal is found to be the best among these methods. 4.6.2 Mitigation KHEPLC should take part and support NIFFR to continuously monitor water hyacinth and to undertake control measures. It will be necessary for KHEPLC to incorporate a provision for this activity in their annual operating budget. 4.7.1 Current System The existing communication system for Kainji dam is shown in Fig 4.2. There was indication during the field visit that upstream communities may not receive flood warning messages. * * * **Fig 4.2: Existing Flood Warning Communication System at Kainji** The current system is satisfactory as an early warning system but is not suitable for emergency announcements. ## 4.7.2 Mitigation Measures Flood warning messages should be extended to all upstream communities. The flood warnings may be issued using a set of easily recognisable codes. The warnings should be communicated to the concerned at appropriate time (well in advance) and in a realistic manner. The important issues while developing flood warning communication system are - Range of communication messages and techniques should be employed (eg. Flood warning codes, flags, communication sirens, use of floodlines, etc.) - More effective public participation should help build trust and better understanding between the public, community networks and the officials. - The public cannot be treated as one target group as in reality they are made up of many different groups with different perceptions. For example, the public can be categorised as follows o Experienced regular flooders – people who are living on the fringes of the flood plain and having knowledge of flood management. These people must be involved in the flood management. They should be provided with enough communication systems (eg. Floodline) to provide information and to ensure that they are taking enough steps to avoid damages. o People with lack of understanding – those who have not been flooded but living in the danger zone have received information and do not understand the risk o Information deficit – People who are not receiving the information and also those who moves into flooding areas o Communication deficit – People who are difficult to reach. This may also include those whose physical or mental impairments require more resources to ensure that the message reaches them. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ o Not at risk – People who will not be flooded but they need general awareness on flood. o Third parties-A wide range of trades, institutes and professions, who are all involved with properties in the floodplain. Identification of target groups & partners in flood management and development of flood warning codes & communication system are included in the service contract package 1. Figure 4.3 proposes an improved flow of communication from KHEPLC Hydrology Department to villagers. **Fig 4.3: Recommended Flood Warning Communication System at Kainji Dam** In order to enhance the proposed communication system and to directly communicate with the communities, a toll free lines or emergency call centres should be introduced. At the same time, to develop a fully interactive system between the dam and the riverside communities, the communication equipment options explored during field investigation were follows. - Satellite telephony (Thuraya) - Provision of radio booster station - Provision of television broadcasting facility (NTA) - Regular radio and television programs to be conducted on flood forecast and water level situation report. - Short Wave Radio facility The most workable of the options explored is as follows: - Provision and enhancement of radio booster station – MOD. 10B HARRIS upgrade from 2.5 kHZ to 6 kHZ. This would cover 150km radius, while the existing coverage is only 20 km radius. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * • Regular radio and television programs to be conducted on flood forecast and water level situation report. This approach is recommended because many more people in the rural areas would find a portable radio set affordable, accessible and would require no maintenance from KHEPLC. KHEPLC should inculcate in the public the habit of listening to water level, discharges and flood flow reports on a daily basis. The cost of broadcasting a five minute programme on Koro Radio is N 10,000 per day. The daily broadcast should feature the following: • Water levels (upstream & downstream). • Forecast of flood threat and its timing. • Recommended steps to be taken in flood prone areas. • Reasons for any reported anomalies given in layman’s language. • Use of English and local languages (Nupe). • Aired at prime time as much as possible. • Publicise KHEPLC’s corporate social responsibility projects and other notable achievements. • Publicise the benefits of the dam and its activities. • Address any other issue relating to the activities of the dam. • Programme to be interesting to listeners. • Clear statement of KHEPLC’s commitment to the environmental and social responsibilities. On preparation of flood plain mapping, the management of KHEPLC should work with the local communities to create a safe emergency assembly point. This point should be well publicised, villagers should be adequately sensitised to this effect and drills conducted. The safe assembly point should be selected bearing in mind the following features: • Located on high points and easily accessible. • Equipped with dedicated standby passenger canoes/boats, where necessary (depending on frequency of floods, accessibility of rescue aids, proximity to rescue aid, etc.). • To be completely away from the flood plain (to be determined by proposed mapping) • Conform to conventional safety standards. * * * # 5\. IMPACTS AND MITIGATION PROPOSALS ## 5.1 Hydrology and Sedimentation ### 5.1.1 Hydrology An August 1966 Memorandum on Provision of Emergency Discharge Capacity for Niger Dams Authority, Kainji Development by Balfour Beatty and NEDECO (see Appendix I) advises that comprehensive details on the hydrology are available in Niger Dams Project Report, Part 2 “Hydrology and Reservoir Operation”, dated April 1961. The memo notes that six years of reliable records from 1954 to 1959 of Niger River flows at Jebba provided the basis for the hydrological analyses of the Kainji HEP project; this is very limited data set for such analysis. The Kainji Dam Operations Manual 1100: Hydrology and Reservoir Operation, dated 20th July 1970 (See Appendix I) also refers to the Niger Dams Project Report, Part 2 “Hydrology and Reservoir Operation” but draws attention to the most useful information needed to influence regulation policies being inflows measured at Kowara. Regrettably this information was only available monthly at that time. The difficulty in obtaining such information on a daily basis continues. Kowara Water Level Gauging station is upstream of Yelwa at the headwaters of Kainji reservoir on the Niger River. Other water level gauging stations were constructed on the Niger River at the same time and these now provide information to the Niger Basin Authority through National co-ordinators under the Niger-HYCOS Project. The most important for Kainji HEP operation is Jidere Bode gauging station at the headwaters of the Kainji reservoir. The hydrology of the Niger River has two distinct high flow periods: - The White Flood increasing from August and peaking at the end of September between 2000 and 5000 m3/s, and - The Black Flood beginning in December and peaking in late February that seldom exceeds 2000 m3/s. The White Flood originates closer to Kainji whilst the Black Flood originates above the inland delta of Mali where it loses a large proportion of flow to evaporation and infiltration and also loses much of its silt load. The highest flood experienced at Kainji since its construction occurred in the 1967/68 season and was attributed to the Black Flood with the peak flood of 9340m3/s on 12th October 1967 at Koulikoro Gauging Station on the Niger River. This is close to the highest estimated flow at this station of 9670m3/s in the same month of 1925. However, there is a long period of approximately three months between the development of large flows of the Black Floods at the headwaters of the inland delta in Mali and the peak arriving at Kainji, which offers the opportunity of flood warning in the event of extreme events. To make best use of this opportunity two criteria need to be satisfied: _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * • Data from the international level gauging stations must be made available at regular and short intervals, and • An up to date hydrological assessment of the River Niger for the Black Flood and contributors to the White Flood should be made available that includes a Flood Study of extreme events. Such an updated hydrological assessment is essential if the detailed system operation studies of the integrated operation of Kainji and Jebba HEPs that were recommended in the 15 February 1977 Feasibility Report for Jebba Hydroelectric Development, are to be carried out. (Ref. Feasibility Report for Jebba Hydroelectric Development for National Electric Power Authority, 15 February 1977 by Montreal Engineering, Page A21 Vol. II -Appendix A “Hydrology and Generation Potential”). The impact of any upstream storage on the Niger River is likely to impact the operation of Kainji and Jebba plants; particularly should water be abstracted for irrigation. Currently the passage of data from gauging stations in Mali requires the physical collection of hard copy which involves a flight by KHEPLC staff. This collection is timed to enable its use to predict the Black Flood, i.e. some 2 months in advance of its passage into Kainji reservoir, and usually during the month of September/October with floods reaching Kainji between December and March. 5.1.2 Downstream Hydrological Impacts At Onitsha nearly two thirds of the Niger’s flow has been generated from within Nigeria below Jebba, mainly from the Benue but also from the River Kaduna where it joins the main river at Pategi. Flows from the main river, through the Kainji-Jebba system, form a small proportion of total flow and thus present a relatively low impact on downstream flooding. The effect is reduced further because the upstream flooding is part of the “black” flood which has a lower discharge than the “white” flood (see above). The World Bank has ranked flooding as needing moderate to high priority attention in the 1 Niger Delta. Also, the Nigerian Environmental Study/Action Team (NEST, 2004), reported that sea- level rise and repeated ocean surges will not only worsen the problems of coastal erosion that are already a menace in the Niger Delta, the associated inundation will increase problems of floods, intrusion of sea- water into fresh water sources and ecosystems destroying such 2 stabilizing system as mangrove, and affecting agriculture, fisheries and general livelihoods. The proposed hydrological modelling and analysis can be used to further reduce the extent (if any) of the downstream impact of the “black” flood by careful regulation of the levels in Kainji Lake. Indeed this is a principle objective of the modelling. 1 E. Uyigue and M. Agho 2007, Coping with Climate Change and Environmental Degradation in the Niger Delta of Southern Nigeria, Community Research and Development Centre (CERDC) Nigeria. 2 Nigerian Environmental Study/Action Team (2004), ‘Executive Summary of five multi-sector surveys on Nigeria’s vulnerability and adaptation to climate change, Canada-Nigeria Climate Change Capacity Development Project, ISBN 0-9736371-4-5. * * * 5.1.3 Hydrology Recommendations We recommend that an updated hydrological study of the Niger River be carried out to assess: • Extreme event floods • Optimising integrated operation of all existing schemes • The impact of proposed additional schemes on the integrated operation of Kainji and Jebba plants. • The current procedure for transfer of data from NBA stations is continued to ensure there is no disruption to a procedure that, whilst not being efficient, does result in a known predictive process, but also • To implement a procedure of measuring and transferring the data from gauging stations by telemetry. This transference should be of both stored data on a regular weekly of monthly basis, as well as “live”. • The results of the hydrological study will be used to fine-tune/adapt the water management of the Kainji and Jebba dams to help mitigate any downstream impacts. In addition, if any significant downstream impacts are determined, a downstream induced impacts management plan will be prepared under service package 1. 5.1.4 Sedimentation In contrast, The February 1977 Feasibility Report for Jebba Hydroelectric Development notes a significant increase in sediment load in the Niger River at Jebba during September of the sample year 1976. It attributes this to large wash-loads at the beginning of the rainy season as deposits of fine dust laid down under Harmattan conditions, along with desiccated surface soils, are washed into the streams. 5.1.5 Recommendations • Sediment load sampling is implemented in the Niger River at Jidere Bode Gauging station and the main tributaries to Kainji reservoir below this station and into the Jebba reservoir. * * * 5.2 Soil Erosion and Catchment Degradation 5.2.1 Impacts Catchment degradation has not been reported by any stakeholders and even Kainji Lake National Park (KLNP) mentioned that their forest area is intact due to the support from local communities and constant vigilance over the illegal tree felling. USAID report on ‘Nigeria Biodiversity and Tropical Forestry Assessment’ assessed the following major threats to the Kainji Lake National Park, which also explains the degradation status of immediate catchment. • Deforestation of savannah woodland areas • Uncontrolled grazing of livestock • Uncontrolled fires It is also evident that the villagers use firewood obtained from the land other than the protected areas thus increasing the erosion risk. Another problem is cultivation of the periphery of the lake, sometimes even on the flood plain (eg. Monnai village), which increases the chances of erosion. 5.2.2 Mitigation Catchment degradation, especially on the catchments of the tributaries, should be measured using satellite imagery taken from two different dates, a decade or two apart. Based on the catchment degradation assessment, the locations of erosion risk areas can be identified. A catchment management programme can be developed for the risk prone areas with external sources of funding. This programme can be managed through LGAs rather than by KHEPLC themselves. 5.3 Water Quality At Kainji the power plant takes water from the river to drive the turbines and discharges turbined water directly into the river without any form of water treatment. While water for driving the turbines creates very little potential for contamination a number of processes occur within the plant and the associated offices that may introduce both chemical and biological agents into the waters. Activities include: • fumigants and pesticides; and 5.3.1 Introduction • Transport, use and storage of chemical agents used for electricity generation: • lubricants; • Substances used in the water treatment facility, including: • transformer oils; • Sodium hypochlorite • Aluminium sulphate; and Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam Final Report * * * - Release of sewage containing biological and chemical agents from sanitary facilities (toilets) and kitchen areas within the power generation premises and associated offices. In addition drains leading directly into the river are positioned within the workrooms where oils and other materials are likely to be washed into the river during routine cleaning exercises (see photo below). **Photo 5.1: Oil Spill in the Open Well of Turbine 4** The waters of the River Niger are currently used for a number of purposes other than power generation. These uses include: - abstraction for use as a drinking water source by Kainji Hydroelectric Plc and Jebba Hydroelectric Plc. - direct use for domestic purposes by individuals in communities local to the river, such as for bathing, household sanitation and drinking. - irrigation of crops. - fishing. The following sections examine the existing impacts of these activities on the water quality of the Kainji Lake and River Niger in the light of Nigerian water quality legislation already presented in Chapter 2. _**5.3.2 Monitoring**_ In accordance with current requirements of the Federal Ministry of Environment as outlined in The Nigerian Federal Government Regulation S.I.8 and S.I.9, monthly effluent discharge monitoring and analysis reporting is undertaken at Kainji Hydroelectric Plc. There are four sampling points currently adopted at the Kainji plant, namely: - power intake and the dam crest; - boatyard; _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * • tailrace; and • downstream tailrace The existing reporting process is undertaken on a monthly basis by Godirra Chemicals Ltd. Their reports detail methodologies for sample analysis, as well as providing an estimate of impact on water quality due to activities by KHEPLC. In addition every three months samples are sent to the Regional Water Laboratory Minna while FME have a mandate to take samples every six months but results are not available to KHEPLC and data collection is reportedly irregular. Analytical results for the following parameters are reported, based on analysis undertaken by a certified laboratory (Unilag Consult – the University of Lagos Consultancy Services): • pH; • Temperature • Temperature • Conductivity • Conductivity • Total dissolved solids; • Total dissolved solids; • Total suspended solids; • Total suspended solids; • Biological oxygen demand; • Biological oxygen demand; • Chemical oxygen demand; • Chemical oxygen demand; • Dissolved oxygen • Dissolved oxygen • Total hardness • Total hardness • Oil/Grease; • Oil/Grease; • Turbidity • Turbidity • Cations (Ca 2+ 2+ • Cations (Ca, Mg, Na+, Ca2+, K); 3--2-2- • Anions (PO4, NO3, CO3, SiO3, SO4 (C a^{2+},M g^{2+},N a,a2+,K) 3--2-2-2--3- • Anions (PO4, NO3, CO3, SiO3, SO4, Cl, HCO); • Extractable heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, (\\mathsf{P O\_{4}}^{3},,\\mathsf{N O\_{3}},,\\mathsf{C O\_{3}}^{2},,\\mathsf{S i O\_{3}}^{2}\\mathsf,,\\mathsf{S O\_{3}}^{2}},,\\mathsf{S O\_{4}}^{2},,\\mathsf{C I},,\\mathsf{H C O}^{3}) Overall impacts on water quality from power generation are minimal. However given the domestic and other uses of river water downstream of the power plant trade effluent standards • Extractable heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium and zinc); and • Total hydrocarbon content. • Total hydrocarbon content. 5.3.3 Operational Impacts do not provide the best means of assessment. The compliance with the standards for aquatic waters, as contained within Table 5 of the National Guidelines and Standards for Water Quality in Nigeria, in conjunction with the standards for trade effluents contained within the National Effluent Limiting Regulations is recommended to provide a more suitable means of evaluating water quality. It is imperative that the sewage from the power plant and associated office areas is collected centrally and pre-treated prior to release in to the river, or prior to an alternative means of waste disposal. Water quality monitoring should also be inclusive of suitable bacteriological parameters to provide a means of estimation of any potential impacts. Such parameters would include the evaluation of total coliforms, faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci, as described in the National Guidelines and Standards for Water Quality in Nigeria. The potential release of ‘oil’ affecting Fakun village needs to be investigated further, in order to determine the level of impact. It is recommended that the current water monitoring programme is extended to include this area. Such data will also serve to increase the robustness of data available for the area as a whole. ## 5.3.5 WRD-SEM Impacts The rehabilitation works under WRD-SEM comprise engineering works associated with the replacement of turbines. During implementation the following activities may have an impact on water quality: - Release of oils, lubricants and degreasing agents from existing equipment being removed. - Release of oils, lubricants and degreasing agents during the installation of new equipment. - Increase in sewage volume due to the presence of staff associated with dam rehabilitation. These impacts are expected to be minimal, provided appropriate waste management procedures are put into place during the rehabilitation process, such as will be achieved with adherence to the steps detailed in the appended waste management protocol and plan. The implementation of management procedures should also ensure that incidental losses of oils, lubricants and other chemical agents be reduced during future operation of the power plant. Similarly, management procedures should be sufficient to significantly reduce the impact of sewage materials on water quality. # 5.4 Terrestrial and Aquatic Flora and Fauna ## 5.4.1 Social and Environmental Audit Reports (2006 and 2007) Observations and Present ## General Situation The Social and Environmental Audit Report by CIMA International did not mention any impact of the dam on the existing terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. It only listed the most common flora and fauna resources. The KHE Environmental Audit Report (2007) also reported general flora and fauna but highlighted the changes that occurred before and after the construction of dam. We have approached NIFFR and KLNP to assess the present situation and the results are presented below. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 5.4.2 Impacts The dams are located on the Sudan-Guinea savannah woodlands. The lake is also an important ground for Palaearctic migrant water birds. The important animal species reported in the KLNP are elephant, kob, hartebeest, roan antelope, hunting dog, mountain reedbuck and red-flanked duiker. The Kainji Lake National Park (KLNP) authorities have not reported any danger to the existing flora and fauna in the Park due to dam operation except the movement of people living on the lake shore to the tributaries, where fish are abundant. The use of dynamite to kill the fish was reported by the KLNP staff. The KLNP is currently implementing microprojects (GEF funded 5- year programme from 2004-09) in 40 communities around the lake and within the KLNP boundary through activities such as livestock fattening, agro-processing and orchard cultivation. The KLNP is happy with these programmes as a means to keep the community away from the Park and thus conserve the forest. KLNP is planning to extend this project to all the communities but through LGAs. Fish production recorded a boom from 3,048 MT during pre-impoundment days to 17,000 MT in 1969 and 28,638 MT in 1971 (Oyedipe, 1982). The statistics obtained from National Institute of Fresh Water Fisheries Research (NIFFR) are presented below. In 2004, the production stood at 9,248 MT. Table 5.1: Fish Production and Number of Boats in Kainji Lake | Year | Fish Production (metric tonnes) | Number of fishing boats on the Kainji lake | | --- | --- | --- | | Pre-impoundment | 3048 | NA | | 1969 | 17000 | 1800 | | 1970 | 28638 | 3400 | | 1971 | 11037 | 3500 | | 1972 | 10905 | 3500 | | 1973 | 7320 | 3500 | | 1974 | 6093 | 3400 | | 1975 | 6000 | 3400 | | 1976 | 5800 | 3400 | | 1977 | 4500 | 3300 | | 1978 | 4500 | 3300 | | 1995 | 32474 | 8800 | | 1996 | 38246 | 9300 | | 1997 | 28753 | 7600 | | 1998 | 28851 | 7100 | | 1999 | 16351 | 6200 | | 2000 | 13375 | 5400 | | 2001 | 13361 | 4800 | | 2004 | 9248 | 4400 | Source: Abiodu (in press), Kainji Lake Fish Production Statistics (1961-2004), A paper prepared for National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR) at 40 year celebrations. The data in Table 5.1 suggest that fish catch has substantially increased since construction of the dam but the variable nature of the data gives cause for concern over its accuracy and the absence of data from recent years enhances this concern. * * * **Photo 5.2: Meeting with NIFFR** The study by Tafida et.al (2009) revealed that some important fish species like Polypterus, Ariusgigas, Barbus, Bagrus, Citharidium and Ansorgii are disappearing over the years. Potential reasons for the volatility of fish production are as follows - Immediately on formation of lake, the exploitation of the fisheries was by migrant professional fishermen who came from other parts of the country, who exploited the full potential of the lake by using the model gear such as gill-nets and hooks. Arungbemi (1982) reported that shortly after construction of dam, there was an unprecedented influx of fishermen not only from Kwara, Niger and Sokoto states but also from other savannah areas of Borno, Kaduna and Plateau States and Niger Delta area of Bendel State. He also mentioned that the lake was over-fished by 6,320 fishermen in 1971, whereas Brokensha and Scudder in 1968 estimated that the lake could support only 2,500 fishermen plus their dependents. - There are reports of indiscriminate catching of fingerlings and the wrong use of nets. Though there are regulations for use of net sizes, they are not in force. Due to the economic benefit of fingerlings in the market, the Kaya village headman reported that some of their fishermen fish them out and sell them on the market illegally. NIFFR has shown that better gear could be used for efficient harvest of lake but it is not extended to all the villages due to shortage of funds. - Fish movement is completely restricted above and below the dam as there are no fish ladders. - The oxygen level of the turbid water below Kainji dam is drastically reduced to 0.2mg/l, in which fish survival is doubtful. The oxygen level increases naturally in the rapids downstream, especially at Awuru rapids. However since construction of Jebba dam, the rapids flow has been curtailed thus affecting the natural re-oxygenation of water. The release of water through spillways would increase the oxygen level but is not advisable considering the HEP generation, the main purpose of the dam. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 5.4.3 Mitigation The rural development project funded by GEF and implemented by KLNP, should be extended to all the villages on the river and lake banks. KHEPLC could be engaged as a partner with the LGA to implement this project in the nearby communities. NIFFR should be used for conducting research on the fishing and creating awareness among the fishermen about the use of right kind of gear nets and efficient ways of fishing. There are two options to increase the oxygen level at the downstream of the power house: i. By introducing air in the upper part of the draft tube air can be introduced into the turbine flow and this represents a very efficient device for water aeration, as suggested by INPG (see Reference 31). This option requires a detailed study as to its cost-effectiveness. Fig 5.1: Air Injection into the Turbine Flow (Courtery INPG) 5.4.4 Social and Environmental Audit Reports (2006 and 2007) Observations and Present General Situation ii. Aeration of the tailrace as suggested by FAO in their “Dam Design and Operation to Optimise Fish Production in Impounded River Basins”. This again requires a detailed study to check the for aerator size and its cost effectiveness. | Audit Result(Page 70-71 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The pre-dominance of water related diseases relating to the presence of a reservoir and consumption of non-treated water(No.1). | Measure3.1:To provide drinking water to the New Bussa population through the construction of a water processing stationMeasure3.2:To sensitise the riparian populations on the control of water borne diseases and their vectors. | The mitigation measures suggested by the CIMA report have not yet been implemented.The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | * * * 5.4.5 Approach The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that about one third of the global disease burden in developing countries such as Nigeria could be reduced through available environmental health interventions and strategies (WHO, 2010: Public Health and Environment in the African Region - Report on the work of WHO (2008–2009)). The impacts of works processes at KHEPLC are relevant to the following potential causes of adverse health impacts in the local community: • lack of access to safe drinking water; • air pollution (indoor and outdoor); • air pollution (indoor and outdoor); • poor domestic sanitation facilities; • poor domestic sanitation facilities; • inadequate waste disposal; • inadequate waste disposal; • access to healthcare facilities; • access to healthcare facilities; • absent or unsafe disease vector control; and • absent or unsafe disease vector control; and • exposure to chemicals and injuries. • exposure to chemicals and injuries. Other wider areas of potential exposure to increased impact on health are from climate change, the presence of persistent organic pollutants, electronic waste and radiation. 5.4.6 Existing Conditions KHEPLC runs a 60 bed hospital that treats both staff members and individuals in the local community. There is also a clinic at the staff offices. There are also state owned health centres to impart primary care to the people. The hospitals provide free consultations but charge for medicines. There is also a health centre within the Kainji staff quarters at New Bussa, with restricted access for the public. The water treatment plant at KHEPLC also provides water to nearby residential areas. However, there is evidence that the majority of the villages surrounding the plant use water directly from the river for household use, and as a drinking water source. The water is also most likely used without prior treatment. The following relevant diseases have been reported to be prevalent in the surrounding areas: • Malaria • Enteric fever • Enteric fever • Gastroenteritis • Gastroenteritis • Cholera • Cholera • Bacillary and amoebic dysentery • Bacillary and amoebic dysentery • Schistosomasis (Bilharzia) In the case of bilharzia a distinction should be made between intestinal and urinary bilharzia but these figures are not noted in the returns of disease incidence. Other chronic ailments that are reported include diabetes, hypertension and resultant stroke. Incidences of snake bite and dog bites have also been reported. • Pneumonia • Chicken pox • Chicken pox • meningitis • Schistosomasis (Bilharzia) • Pneumonia * * * Table 5.2: Water Related Disease Incidence for PHCN Hospital (June 2009-May 2010) | MONTH | Water Borne Disease | Water Related Disease | Total | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Jun 2009 | 10 | 4 | 14 | | Jul 2009 | 18 | 2 | 20 | | Aug 2009 | 16 | 3 | 19 | | Sep 2009 | 12 | 2 | 14 | | Oct 2009 | 28 | 2 | 30 | | Nov 2009 | 21 | 4 | 25 | | Dec 2009 | 25 | 3 | 28 | | Jan 2010 | 28 | 6 | 34 | | Feb 2010 | 30 | 10 | 40 | | Mar 2010 | 35 | 7 | 42 | | Apr 2010 | 30 | 5 | 35 | | May 2010 | 22 | 5 | 27 | | TOTAL | 275 | 53 | 325 | There is currently an established means of communicating HIV/AIDS risks with posters evident in the vicinity of the main offices. Nationally run programmes on HIV/AIDS awareness also exist within the community. These are also largely linked to posters, but also include radio announcements. These have been recommended for implementation by members of the ERSU but are yet to be undertaken. Table 5.3 shows the major water borne public health challenges facing the communities visited in the Kainji area.

Drinking Water: ensuring access to safe drinking-water and adequate sanitation, and encouraging personal, domestic and community hygiene are vital to promoting development, poverty reduction and health. • Solar disinfection: This is undertaken by exposing water in disposable clear plastic bottles to sunlight for a day, typically on the roof of a house. A combination of heat and ultra-violet radiation from the sun are used to inactivate pathogens present in water. To be effective, solar disinfection must be applied to relatively clear water. This method is free and would use an abundant renewable sunlight resource but is not a robust process. • Chlorination: At doses of a few mg/litre and contact times of about 30 minutes, free chlorine generally inactivates greater than 99.99% of enteric bacteria and viruses, provided water is clear. Chlorine can come in a variety of sources, including solid calcium hypochlorite or liquid sodium hypochlorite. Household level chlorination has been implemented most commonly in combination with safe storage and behaviour change techniques, including social marketing, community mobilization, motivational interviewing, communication, and education.

Household level chlorination has been implemented most commonly in combination with safe storage and behaviour change techniques, including social marketing, community mobilization, motivational interviewing, communication, and education. * * * Public Awareness: • Water borne and water related diseases: public awareness schemes for water borne diseases have not been identified at Kainji Hydroelectric Plc. Public schemes on water treatment options (as outlined above) are recommended. The most effective means of undertaking this would be the provision of local training schemes by community workers in local languages. • KHEPLC should take more targeted mitigation measures against Bilharzia using regular epidemiological monitoring and mass treatment. This is included in the Procurement Service Package 2. The contractor will help the KHEPLC to develop such measures which can be taken up regularly under Corporate Social Responsibility schemes. • Workers present during the construction phase should also be made aware of safe practices for drinking water and water related disease in worker safety risk assessments prior to project commencement. • Public awareness schemes for communicable diseases have not been identified at KHEPLC. Public schemes on water treatment options (as outlined above) are recommended. The most effective means of undertaking this would be the provision of local training schemes by community workers in local languages. • Workers present during construction phase should also be made aware of safe practices for communicable disease in worker safety risk assessments prior to project commencement. These should include a listing of prevalent diseases such HIV/AIDS, meningitis and malaria, for which prophylactics can be sourced before departure. Waste Management: Exposure to waste from health-care and construction activities is a potential risk to individuals, communities and the environment if not properly managed. It is of particular note that the majority of waste produced by healthcare activities is highly infectious. When appropriately applied, environmentally-friendly strategies can properly manage waste from source to final disposal. Further details on waste management procedures are included in the waste management sections of this report. 5.5 Cultural and Historic Sites There are no cultural and historic sites affected due to the proposed works. A paper on the Socio-Economic Impact of HEP Dams on the Host Communities by A. S. Abubakar on loss of historical monument revealed that: • At Awuru (upstream of Jebba and downstream of Kainji) an old structure that once served as a port for vessels is completely submerged. Such very important historical relics have disappeared as has the site of the death of the explorer Mungo Park. * * * # 5.6 Construction of WRD-SEM Components ## 5.6.1 Traffic Heavy equipment and plant for the proposed rehabilitation is expected to be shipped to Lagos and then transported by heavy vehicles along the north expressway to the dam site, where mobile cranes will lift the goods to a location suitable for the in-situ cranes. The condition of the north expressway was particularly poor at the time of the site visit and the goods will need to be well packaged for protection and then well tied down. Were the rail network operating, this transport system would have been preferable, both in terms of security and in terms of a reduced carbon footprint. Smaller and more sensitive equipment is expected to be delivered to Nigeria by air to Abuja and then transported by road to the site. Again, this road is not in good condition and it is suggested that KHEPLC explore the possibility of using the nearby NAF airstrip for transporting light goods and technicians working on the project. The additional volume of traffic is not expected to be a factor on both road systems, and the weight of the shipped plant and equipment is not expected to exceed the full 30,000l fuel bowsers currently using this road. Notwithstanding this, it is essential to include within the contract documentation that the contractor is responsible for all aspects of transport including verification of the route and any weight restriction along the route, licensing and taxes. ## 5.6.2 Contractor’s EMP A full contractor’s Environmental Management Plan is included in Appendix K. This will form the basis for enforceable contract provisions. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 6. WASTE MANAGEMENT 6.1 Social and Environmental Audit Reports (2006 and 2007) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 70-71 of2006 Report) | EMP suggested at theCIMA report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The pouring out of liquid waste directly into the river and on the surrounding soils(No.4).The ignorance of rejects in the waters and on the soils so far as the qualitative and quantitative view is concerned(No.6).The absence of a plan on management of liquid and solid waste(No.7).The lack of data enabling to quantify the liquid and solid rejects or prepare a mass report(No.8).The lack of practice on filtration of exhausted oil by a recycling technique to minimise the volume of reject of exhausted oil.(No.9).The absence of a programme for collection and disposal of dangerous waste(acids, oil, etc.) (No.10).The non-security stocking of consumable products and material in the warehouses is a real risk for the safety of workers particularly in case of incident and fire(No.11). | Measure3.7:To adopt more secure storage practices in conformity with safety norms,including the separation of the zones of new products from those of the used productsMeasure3.10:To develop and implement a dangerous waste collection and disposal program, including the rejection of used batteries.Measure3.15:To characterise the rejections and to develop a mass summary of each unit of the installation.Measure3.19:To develop and implement a waste management plan which shall process solid waste,liquid waste,dangerous materials and recycling andwhich shall integrate spontaneous recycling. | The Environmental Audit2007 identified and characterised the wastes(Chapter4) quantities of those wastes were not determined.The same report suggested life cycle analysis method(Chapter5) for material balance to quantify the materials(including oils,lubricants,chemicals and batteries) purchased,used and wastes generated.Standard operating procedures(SOP)和a detailed material safety data sheet(MSDS)for chemicals and hazardous substances are also suggested but none of the above is implemented.The solid and liquid contamination of open surfaces(apron,floors and workshop spaces)still continues.Domestic solid wastes and sewage management were discussed but not yet implementedThere is no comprehensive waste management plan as suggested by CIMA report.The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with mitigation measures. | 6.2.1 Current Situation The main solid waste materials are as follows: • Use of office material such as paper, other stationary and furniture. * * * • Use and maintenance of machinery within hydroelectric plant, including packaging materials, machine parts and tools. • Materials used in medical treatment such as syringes, wound dressings and medical drugs Current site conditions indicate that that there is substantial room for improvement of routine waste management procedures at the HEP plant premises and offices of KHEPLC. There are a limited number of waste paper baskets in the power plant and associated offices. Similarly, there are no lidded bins for the disposal of refuse (such as food packaging waste) that arise from daily activity within the plant and offices. Anecdotal information indicates that office waste is currently burned outdoors in a location close to the offices. The workrooms within the plant and operating areas do not currently have a well managed house-keeping procedure. Litter can be seen at various locations around the plant, and waste materials from cleaning processes are not appropriately disposed of – the existing bins contain waste materials which are allowed to overflow and litter is allowed to accumulate within several areas of the plant. Waste oil spills from these areas are absorbed with sawdust and re-used within the golf course. A number of full plastic containers are also present within the generator room, and do not have clear labels to identify their contents. Anecdotal evidence shows that these are degreasing agents. The workshop area within the plant also contains a drainage channel on the workroom floor that drains directly into the River Niger. There is an integrated purifying plant used for the recycling of all transformer oils, and spent oils and other materials are removed for disposal via the stores. The stores comprise an organised system of filing for smaller items, comprising metal storage racks for spare parts, tools, plumbing materials and other hardware used within the plant. However, larger items such as vehicles and oil drums are stored outdoors on open grassed areas. There is also an unpaved oil storage area with fuel dispensers for vehicles, with two associated underground fuel storage tanks with an approximate volume of 33,000 litres, as well as a surface storage tank. The sewage from the powerhouse and associated offices is currently released into the River Niger without prior treatment while wastes from the hospital are currently placed within a handdug pit and burned. Refuse/rubbish (i.e., living area waste, kitchen waste, cafeteria waste, cleaning waste etc) will consist of the various wastes generated by the people who live at the Project-Camp and from the waste generated by the kitchen and cafeteria operations. The kitchen crews and the camp management will be responsible for making sure that camp generated refuse is properly managed. Wind can blow this refuse around the camp and animals and vectors can create unhealthy conditions. Therefore, effective housekeeping actions will be employed throughout the life of the Project. 6.2.2 WRD-SEM Project Impacts Sanitary waste will be generated at the power plant consisting of human excreta or “night dirt” generated by the sewage system, and in any portable toilets (‘porta-loos’) that may be available for use by construction staff. * * * housekeeping actions should be employed throughout the life of the rehabilitation works to prevent this occurring. Dunnage or containers used to protect goods and their packaging from moisture, contamination and mechanical damage (such as wooden crating, packing materials, plastic shrink wrap, metal straps) will be generated. Often, this waste consists of plywood and 2”x4” wood attached to or surrounding equipment. The size varies from small pieces of scrap wood to full sheets of plywood and other lumber. In addition, there will be a large volume of metal “tie-straps” that are used to hold the dunnage together and to hold bundles of materials together. When not properly stacked and managed, the dunnage can become a safety hazard and a housekeeping mess. Staff working on machine maintenance are responsible for maintaining housekeeping in those areas. Hazardous waste in small quantities will be generated as part of normal construction activities. KHEPLC and its subcontractors should manage these wastes in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with best industry practices KHEPLC and their subcontractors are responsible for the proper identification, storage, and disposal of their hazardous waste. A Hazardous (dangerous) Waste is defined as the following: - Material in question is inherently “waste like” appears on the dangerous waste source list as contained in Schedule 11 of the National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, 1991 (Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1991); or - is a residue from the management of waste listed in Schedule 11 and Schedule 12; or - originates from the sources listed Schedule 12 of the National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, 1991 (Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1991) KHEPLC should have a copy of this definition at the site for reference of site staff. Hospital waste: There is a wide variety of biomedical waste generated within the clinic and hospital, comprising general waste (referred to above as refuse), pathology waste, infectious waste, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste and sharps. Such materials require treatment prior to disposal to prevent the spread of infectious disease. b) Operation Wastes generated during the operational phase of the project will be the same or very similar to those already discussed in section 6.1.1. An Overall Waste Management Plan has been developed and is included in Appendix D. # 6.3 Liquid Waste ## 6.3.1 Present Situation The type, control and management of liquid waste has been discussed in the section covering water quality in section 5.3 above. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # 6.4 Conclusions and Recommendations Current site conditions indicate that that there is room for substantial improvement of routine waste management protocols at the hydroelectric dam premises and offices at Kainji. Activities necessary to mitigate environmental impacts during dam operation are: - the provision of lidded bins for office and site use; - collection and suitable disposal of office waste and site refuse; - pipe sealing materials for machinery; - documentation for re-use of dunnage and other packaging materials associated with maintenance equipment; - provision of containment/barrier surfaces (such as concrete slabs or pallets) in the ‘Stores’ area to prevent incidental loss of oils to surrounding ground; and - provision of sewage treatment facilities for domestic sewage produced at the site. The incineration of medical waste using appropriate equipment (in order to minimise environmental impact) is also recommended. A summary plan for construction phase waste management is included above, and in waste management protocol in Appendix D. Discussions with management indicate that all waste disposal activities are contracted out according to a directive from FME that they should procure registered contractors for these activities. Consequently there are no equipment requirements. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * 7. HEALTH AND SAFETY 7.1 Social and Environmental Audit Reports (2006 and 2007) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 70-71 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested at the CIMA report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The non respect of safety measures by the workers at the workshops and units (No.2).The lack of material and human resources for the health and safety department as well as dysfunction which restricts the efficiency (No.16). | Measure3.3:To provide all the workers with safety equipments and require them to wear them on the worksitesMeasure3.22:To develop a reference document for health and safety management.This document must contain the mission of the department, its short term and long term objectives as well as the procedures and activities associated with health and safety and summary of the work performed each yearMeasure3.25:To make sure that the basic equipment for the fire control is in place and to have the plant analyze by an industrial safety specialist.He must determine the equipment required as well as the right place for each piece of equipmentMeasure3.27:To create and make operational a workers committee in charge of health and security at the work site, headed by the safety department and the focal points of each of the directorates of the enterprise,which,inter alia,shall be responsible for making sure that the employees wear the safety equipment on the work siteMeasure3.32:To organise for the employees training sessions in health and safety at the worksiteMeasure3.33:To organise campaigns so as to sensitize the words in safety using various means. | The Environmental Audit 2007 mentioned that the management provides adequate PPEs to the staff but few of the staff failed to use PPEs. This situation still continues.The same report highlighted the lack of working fire engine, functional central fire alarm system, public address system and regular fire drills.This situation is still same.The Health and Safety officer at KHEPLC prepared a draft safety policy and basic H&S document for his reference with mission and vision but not detailed enough to cover all H&S aspects.So there is no comprehensive health and safety management plan.Health and safety posters have been prepared and posted at important places.ERSU committee was formed as an institutional measure to look into H&S issue as a part of general Environmental and Social aspects.The employees received H&S training as part of this assignment.The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | * * * # 7.2 Approach The current situation, as it concerns the management of Occupational Health & Safety which is the responsibility of Kainji Hydroelectric Power plc (KHEPLC), has been evaluated on the basis of requirements to meet OHSAS 18001:2007. This standard utilises the ‘process approach’, which is common to other existing International Operational Standards (ISOs) and business management systems, of ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ (PDCA), which can be applied to any process. As a repetitive process to check the next action, a simple four step method to test information before making a major decision is given: Plan – Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver the results in accordance with the organisation’s OH&S Policy Do – Carry out or implement your plan by performing the steps Check – Check the results; measure and monitor against policy, objectives, legal and other requirements and report the results Act – Act on the decisions based on those results and continually improve performance # 7.3 Policy, Organisation and Responsibilities There is no evidence that a Health & Safety policy is in effect in the facility. While there is an understanding that Health & Safety considerations should be given attention and a safety officer is appointed and there is also a draft safety policy, there is no published document communicating management’s commitment to Health & Safety. A policy, while demonstrating, management commitment also defines implementation and maintenance approaches to Health & Safety. These are the basic norms for an H&S Management System and should be prominently displayed. A proposed safety section establishment chart was seen during the field visit but it has never been given effect. Consequently, there is no clear appreciation of who is responsible for safety within the organisation and everything concerning safety is viewed as the responsibility of the safety officer; overall AGM (Operations) is in charge of OHS and E. In a European context H&S is the responsibility of the Executive with certain activities delegated to a safety officer or safety team. It is essential that KHEPLC ensure that persons in the workplace take responsibility for all aspects of OH&S over which they have control. # 7.4 Health and Safety Issues The existing fire engine (see photo below) is also an old one and not functioning well. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 7.1: Old Fire Engine at Kainji Power Station** The general conditions of the fire fighting conditions are very poor and not updated (see photos below). **Photo 7.2: Hose Reel Box Without Hose Reel** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 7.3: Poorly Kept Fire Fighting System** There is a palpable lack of care for safe use of electricity throughout the facility (See photo below). Several instances of naked electricity cables were observed and exposed and damaged electrical points are widely evident. The laxity with which electricity is handled needs to be addressed. **Photo 7.4: Exposed Wiring** Workers were observed carrying out work without appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (See Photo below). This included workers engaged in hazardous tasks. When interviewed, they confirmed that they were given the PPE by the company but had different reasons for not using them. These included discomfort when wearing PPE and interference with the smooth flow of work. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 7.5: Little / No Enforcement of Proper Use of PPE** Housekeeping was fair in the administrative building but not so good on the generator and turbine floors. Packing crates were left on the floor and stacks of disused air conditioning units (and other fire hazards) were left lying around. **Photo 7.6: Dumping of Hazardous Wastes** Too many shafts and chutes are left uncovered throughout the facility. While rudimentary attempts (see photo below) are made to cordon off some of the shafts with netting and tape, these are supposed to be temporary measures which have been allowed to become near permanent features of the workplace. The situation is even more dangerous within the dam structure itself. With exposed shafts running as far as several stories down along poorly lit corridors, immediate remedial action needs to be taken. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 7.7: Rudimentary Steps to Cordon off Uncovered Chutes** Lighting is generally poor in most of the operational areas of the facility. # 7.5 Existing Safety Procedures KHEPLC have an Emergency Response Plan which was developed by the Emergency Response Committee made up of the safety officer, representing the organisation, as well as other representatives of the stakeholders in the community including the army, the Road Safety Corps, etc. The plan is inadequate to the extent that it covers only the peripheral arrangements for dealing with some ten different emergencies including flood, fire, dam collapse and ‘mass release of chemicals’ in about two pages of actual arrangements. The plan has never been tested, the employees are basically unaware of it, and the last time there was a fire drill was several years ago during the training of some officers in basic fire awareness. Although management claims to have full documentation and up to date records available these were not made available to us. We saw no formal documented and standardised procedures in evidence for activities and operations undertaken by the organisation. Some informal direction is provided during job training for new employees assigned to particular sections by the heads of the section but this is not standardised or codified. Also we saw no formalised first aid arrangements although there is a clinic on the facility and a hospital located outside. # 7.6 Risk Control There is no recorded identification of foreseeable and significant risks for hazardous activities undertaken by individuals or departments within the organisation. No risk identification and control documentation was in evidence. Existing means of risk control, where evident, was informal, not documented and without standardisation. It relied on the resultant evaluation and risk perception of individuals with varying levels of knowledge and experience. No risk assessments are carried out for tasks hence there is no documented RA which would show risk ratings prior to, and following risk mitigation. There are consequently, no Safety Method Statements (SMS) that would arise from a structured RA. While the team was on site, work could be observed being carried out on the generator floor. There was no RA /SMS to guide the safe execution of these tasks and the same situation prevailed on the dam crest. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Additionally, the process of risk control is expected to extend to any individual or organisation that may carry out work for or on behalf of the KHEPLC, where the KHEPLC would be deemed responsible and therefore liable. This relates particularly to contractors carrying out work on KHEPLC property or sub-contractors carrying out work on behalf of the organisation. This is an area of serious concern as there were no evidential controls, monitoring or measurement of the performance in the management of contractors. In view of the rehabilitation work that is about to commence, the rectification of this should be given high priority. The present situation represents an area of high financial risk to KHEPLC as well as a serious risk of harm to contractors or anyone who may be affected by their activities without any agreed or pre-determined controls in place. While the Safety Officer claims that he makes the effort to monitor contractors to ensure work is carried out safely, there is no evidence of this, and in any case, it would still be a risky substitute for proper systematic controls. # 7.7 Existing Training and Safety Records KHEPLC allocates a training budget which is never implemented. A formal induction process is not undertaken by new employees or staff who have been reassigned to new departments. No First Aid training is provided and only the firemen have basic fire awareness training. No management staff have any appropriate training in Health & Safety. Record keeping is quite inadequate and what little there is not in any acceptable format. No accident/incident report book could be produced and near misses generally go unreported. Near miss reporting is considered to be an essential part of risk management and performance improvement. Records of investigations into previous incidents and accidents were difficult to come by even though serious incidents have occurred in the not too distant past. These included at least one near drowning and a near electrocution of a Youth Corp worker. Since safety considerations are not part of criteria for selecting contractors, contractor’s safety records are not vetted before they are commissioned. In risk aware corporations, insistence on safe working methods for all contracted parties working on site is seen as good practice to reduce financial and economic losses resulting from preventable accidents. # 7.8 Communications KHEPLC have some posters at few locations indicating the importance of safety. One such poster is given in photo below. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 7.8: Safety Awareness Poster** Good communication is required across the whole workforce and KHEPLC should ensure that all employees are informed of policy and procedure, whether initially on first joining the organisation or by subsequent communication through reminders of safe working practices and involvement through consultation in the safety process. A behavioural change programme is not in effect though attempts are made to affect perception through the use of posters and handbills. This however is inadequate. A more structured procedure is required for transmitting information about safety decisions to the staff. A Safety Committee meeting is held once a month at which workers are represented by their heads of departments. This is commendable as it provides a good platform for addressing safety issues. It is however doubtful if the full benefits of these meetings are being realised due to the failings in the system. An important communication tool which should be commended is the Safety Tool-Box Talk which is run by the Safety Department. The frequency of this however needs to be increased to make it more effective and the topics need to be more varied. One exercise that is executed unfailingly is the submission of a monthly safety report to the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). This provides a format for reporting accidents and other safety issues to the Commission and also encourages KHEPLC to keep some records. # 7.9 Inspections Though internal HSE inspections are not embedded in KHEPLC as a standard, the SO regularly carries out informal inspections and tries to make corrections where he notices safety infractions. This is however not formalised and no records were available for inspection. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Results do not appear to be not used in an appraisal process or as part of an incentive scheme, all of which would aid the behavioural change programme where it in place. The apparent lack of inspections also extends to contractors. While inspections of plants and machines are carried out regularly (this was observed during the visit), the age of most of the equipment makes the need for Planned Preventive Maintenance more pressing to avoid injuries to workers. # 7.10 Health Pre employment health assessments are undertaken as standard by staff since it is a civil service requirement. However, periodic health surveillance is not carried out to determine the impact of environmental or work conditions on workers. The facility has a zero tolerance policy on drugs, alcohol and smoking. Shifts are normally restricted to eight hours although essential staff can be reached at all times of the day. A clinic is located on the facility and a hospital is also available but located off site. The clinic is however of a standard capable of dealing with emergencies. More could be done in the area of evaluating and controlling physical hazards like noise, vibration, physical exertion (for instance, the elevator to the crest of the dam does not work and staff have to climb up 13 flights of steps to access the crest). # 7.11 Proposals for Change ## 7.11.1 Occupational Health and Safety The success of any Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) depends on commitment from all levels, and especially from Senior Management. It is strongly recommended that the senior management, following findings that reflect lack of knowledge and understanding of Occupational Health & Safety, undertake an induction on safety. This could include a workshop and discussion forum which would take in the requirements of OHSAS18001:2007 as well as relevant legislation particularly the Factories Act and on the proposed OH&S Bill 2008. This will help drive the behavioural change that is required from the top. Further to the above, it is recommended that management review current organisation and considers the development of a bespoke OH&S structure within each organisation and allocates suitable and sufficient resources to enable implementation of any OH&S Management System decided upon. The Health and Safety Management System framework (Appendix C) should be adopted through initial guidance and subsequent independent application, develop specific systems which reflect the full extent of operations and activities, and comply with current and forthcoming legislation. Arrangements should be made for KHEPLC to obtain a multi-user licence for the use and distribution of OHSAS 18001:2007 and its associated documents, namely: - OHSAS 18002:2008 – Guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001:2007 - OHSAS 18004:2008 – Guide to achieving effective occupational health and safety performance ... in order to instigate development of the systems approach to OH&S. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * KHEPLC should appoint a suitably competent OH&S Officer (in the alternative, properly train and certify those in place), with responsibility for reporting on all OH&S matters within the Plants Chief Executive. Existing staff with safety responsibilities are not registered with the Nigerian Institute of Safety Professionals (NISP) or any other national or international safety organisation. 7.11.2 Audits Audits should be undertaken, internally and externally, in order to measure the development and process of continual improvement required by the standard and legislation. External Low Level Audits should be undertaken three months after the workshop presentation to ensure that the plants are staying on track with the requirements of the Standard and to provide further guidance where required or requested. An External Full Audit should be undertaken six months following the workshop to measure conformity and development. And a further External Full Audit should be undertaken twelve months following the Workshop to measure conformity and improvement. Thereafter, internal auditing should be undertaken three monthly for a further year in order to facilitate development and familiarity with the policy and procedures of the organisation and the audit process. In all audits, the audit team should involve a representative of KHEPLC in order to participate and gain experience in the audit process. Thereafter, it is recommended that internal audits be undertaken annually, to be no more than three months and no less than six months before the external Annual Audit. 7.11.3 Equipment Requirements and Additional Work Arising out of this study the following equipment should be procured under the WRD-SEM Project. In addition a budget is proposed for making KHELPC compliant with the identified standards and undertaking audits over the first two years. Table 7.1: Health and Safety Requirements for KHEPLC | S/N | ITEM | BUDGET(US$) | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Complete automated fire detection and suppression system including all accessories to be installed in the entire facility. A new integrated system should cover both the operational and administrative areas. | 75,000 | | 2 | New fire truck with Breathing Apparatus and fire resistant coveralls, Fire hard hats, etc | 350,000 | | 3 | Ambulance | 75,000 | | 4 | Atmospheric testing meters for confined space workx2 | 5,000 | | 5 | Other PPE- hard hats, coveralls, Gloves, safety shoes, goggles, ear protection,etc+ | 20,000 | | 6 | Pedestrian protection and barriers. They should be portable and put in use wherever the need arises. This will be especially in areas where there are manholes and shafts that are presently loosely protected with makeshift barriers, sometimes using fire extinguishers and webbing. | 10,000 | | 7 | OHSAS compliance and establishment of an audit system | 15,000 | | | Total | 550,000 | * * * 7.11.4 Short-Term Training Three short-term courses are proposed the fundamental principle of risk control, which forms the bedrock of OH&S, is the proper assessment of risks and the recommendation of proper control measures; this is an essential starting point for senior managers. A Fire Warden course is a necessary component of any fire management arrangement. Furthermore, it is a legal requirement in both the Factories Act and in the extant OSH Bill 2008\. Consequently, this course has been recommended for the lower cadre of staff. A course on Working Safely in Confined Spaces will be run on the third training day. Outlines of these courses are given in Appendix C. The following training courses are proposed for delivery in conjunction with the stakeholder forum: • Risk Assessment • Fire Warden Training • Confined Space Working Full details of these courses are given in Appendix F * * * 8. COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND MANAGEMENT 8.1 Social and Environmental Audit Reports (2006 and 2007) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 70-71 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The sub-valuation of potentialities for development of socio-economic activities around the reservoir(water crops,fishing,stock farming,etc.) (No.12).The persons shifted at the time of construction still have the bitterness vis-a-vis the project despite all the years which have passed(No.21). | Measure3.11:To finance income generating support actions around and downstream of the dam(off-season irrigated crops:market gardening and rice cultivation,fishing for example) to reduce povertyMeasure3.12:To develop a basic infrastructural program(roads,water,electricity,etc.)for the populations of the same region in order to enhance the living conditions in the villages.This program must be supported by a community development program.Measure3.13:To develop and implement reforestation sub-projects.Measure3.14:To get the populations out of the spillway perimeter and to develop jointly with the populations located downstream,a land development plan. | The section6.3.3.of Environmental Audit 2007 report mentioned that‘the KHEPLC was identified to have relatively positive impact on the surrounding communities;as the infrastructures like road,electricity and blockhouse were made available to the people as a result of existence of KHEPLC in the area.Also the income level of people in the area was identified to have relatively increased,because of the influx of people in the area that has resulted to increased business activities.The level of the employment in the area has relatively increased.The above report only highlighted the positive side of the socio-economic aspectsHowever the current situation in the surrounding villages has been changed after HYPPADEC(see the section8.3.3below.)The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | Secondary information available on social issues in and around the dam was reviewed. A rapid assessment was made of the social situation in and around the Kainji Dam where KHEPLC has experienced social problems. The main aim of the assessment was to prepare a ToR for a detailed social survey. There are around 200 villages potentially impacted by either Kainji, Jebba or both dams and a survey of these villages has never been undertaken and is beyond the scope of this study. Social investigations comprised visits to some four villages at each dam but there was no primary data collection of socio-economic information as agreed early on in the study. 8.2 Methodology Small group discussions and interviews were conducted with the village chiefs and other prominent villagers. The discussions covered their livelihoods, problems due to dam 75 operation, flood management issues, flood warning communication, relationships with the dam management and local government, infrastructure development, public health issues and environmental issues (See Appendix E). The outcome of the rapid assessments are presented in the following sections and we used the outcome to prepare a mitigation plan to improve the relationship between the communities and the dam management. For example we suggested improved grievance mechanisms and flood warning communication. Since the social study requires a detailed survey, the development of a social monitoring system has not been developed and thus it is included in the procurement plan (service contract procurement package 2). Prior to the implementation of the detailed survey a further rapid social assessment will be carried out to strengthen the social aspects of the ESMP. The outputs from the assessment will be contained in an addendum to the ESMP. 8.3 Current Situation 8.3.1 History since Construction Oyedipe (1982) reported that communities displaced by Kainji Dam were left with poor infrastructural facilities and structural changes required for the rural socio-economic system to cope up with the fast development of New Bussa and other towns and the influx of temporary migrant fishermen. Oyedipe (1983) studied 26 villages 15 years after the construction of Kainji Dam. Some of his findings are as follows; • Houses – provision of good quality housing was a great improvement but was undermined by structural defects and poor insulation. • Water supply - Six out of 26 villages seriously complained about the water supply. The displaced people were resettled above the 144m contour line, which was considered as well above the flood level. However it reduced access to water and increase time required to collect it. The 139 resettlements were provided with 195 wells which were not sufficient to supply the villages during the dry season. * * * Details of the previous and current vocations of the four villages visited during field investigations are given below together with the main community needs. Table 8.1: Community Issues at some of the Villages near Kainji Reservoir | | COMMUNITIES & LOCATION | TRADITIONAL VOCATION | PRESENT VOCATION | MAJOR AMENITIES NEEDED | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Awuru Downstream Kainji(See Photo 8.1) | Fishing | Subsistence Farming(sparing)&Reduced fishing | Drainage System/Flood ControlMarket StallsAccess RoadHousingHealth FacilityPotable WaterEmployment/Acquisition of modern fishing techniques. | | 2 | FakunDownstream Kainji(See Photo 8.2) | Fishing | Subsistence Farming(sparing)&Reduced fishing | Relocation logistics aidSite ClearingAccess roadsPlot demarcation SurveyPotable Water SupplySchoolsEmployment/Acquisition of modern fishing techniques. | | 3 | MunaiUpstream Kainji(See Photo 8.3) | Fishing | Subsistence Farming(sparing)&Reduced fishing | Flood ControlAccess RoadHousingHealth FacilityToilet/LatrinesEmployment/Acquisition of modern fishing techniques. | | 4 | KayaUpstream Kainji | Fishing | Subsistence Farming(sparing)&Reduced fishing,Motorcycle transportPetty Trading | Potable Water SupplyEmployment/Acquisition of modern fishing techniques. | * * * **Photo 8.1: Discussion with Awuru Villagers** **Photo 8.2: Fakun Village – Village Head and Community Leaders** ## 8.3.2 Current Problems The socio-economic conditions of most of the villages (eg. Awuru, Kaya) have not improved over the years due to continued subsistence farming, declining fishing, poor awareness of livelihood diversification and poor maintenance of houses, settled area and access roads. There are specific problems such as Awuru village, where the lack of drainage facilities is the main cause of all problems. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 8.3: Dilapidated House at Awuru Village** The socio-economic conditions of some of the settlements like Monnai are better than others due to proximity to New Bussa, which helped them to get electricity, water supply and jobs. **Photo 8.4: Meeting with Monnai Village Chief** Fakun village, located within 1000 m of the power house, experiences vibrations and a layer of oil on the river whenever the generators are stopped. Due to its proximity to the river, the fishing activities are affected by the drastic variation in the water level caused by operation of number of turbines. The Government has provided a resettlement site for the entire Fakun village but progress is very slow. There is no logistical support such as site clearing, access roads, plot demarcation nor provision of basic needs to move to the new location. There is a general prevalence of poverty and palpable socio-economic helplessness in all the communities. There is an overriding absence of workable alternative livelihood options for all the close communities, who were resettled during the dam and power house construction. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Power supply is restricted to few villages in and around New Bussa. This is due to the fact that supply to New Bussa is delivered from the Transformer dedicated to the Power Station. This transformer is already overloaded. Government has however awarded contracts for the construction of a Transmission substation linking New Bussa with the national grid which will take the burden off the Power Station transformer. ## 8.3.3 Role of CBOs, NGOs and Local Institutions As many of these issues have not been addressed by KHEPLC due to funding difficulties, the Niger State Government established the Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC). The details of HYPPADEC are as follows: **Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC)** HYPPADEC is made up of 5 states, namely Niger, Kwara, Kebbi, Kogi and Plateau. The Bill was initiated in 2005 and is approved by the senate and waiting for the approval of the President. The commission is planned on the model of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The NGOs, Community Action for Popular Participation (CAPP), Coalition of Dam Communities (CDC) and Federation of Borgu Youths (FBY) a CBO with the funding from National Endowment for Democracy (NED), are behind the initiation of the Bill. It is expected that after being signed into law, the Commission would require some time for stabilising the process of operation, such as appointment of key management board members, state representatives, deployment of officers from the various relevant ministries, etc. The funds for the Commission are: 25% of the total revenue generated by any company, authority, or undertaking from the operation of any hydro-electric power generation in a member state of the Commission Between 25 and 50 percent of the money due to member states of the Commission from the ecological funds In turn, the Commission is expected to conceive, plan and implement in accordance with a set of rules, regulate projects and programmes for the development of Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas in the areas of transportation, health, education, agriculture, housing, urban development, water supply, electricity and telecommunications. The present KHEPLC Public Relations Officer (PRO) was appointed in 2004 to look into the above issues. However he is saddled with other primary administrative duties such as dealing with visitors and issue of flood warning. There is no well established grievance mechanism to sort out the social issues. However, the KHEPLC has formed a technical committee, by including all the stakeholders (NGOs, CBOs, close communities, youth forums) to discuss the issues and grievances of close communities on a quarterly basis. The first meeting was conducted in January 2010. Earlier the affected people do not inform the management directly about the grievances as they inform only to the village or community chiefs, who takes the issue with the LGA or the dam management. # 8.4 Mitigation ## 8.4.1 Public Consultation An initial stakeholder forum was conducted at the KHEPLC’s conference hall on 28th January 2009. The forum was attended by World Bank representatives, NBA staff, representatives from FMAWR, FME, project staff of PHCN and KHEPLC, Borgu Emirate Council representative, Borgu Local Government, Federation of Borgu Youth, representatives from Nassarawa, Anfani, Awuru, Fakun and New Bussa villages and the press. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * The main aim of the stakeholder forum was to introduce the WB Project to stakeholders including the close communities and to create a forum to discuss the social issues of all the close communities. Public Consultation, in line with WB OP4.10, was announced during the meeting, to be part of the current study, and to include discussion of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). The same stakeholders were invited and additionally NGOs such as CAPP, CDC and HYPPADEC. The Public consultation took place on 10th August 2010 and is reported in Appendix L. 8.4.2 Social Survey An important out come of the August 2010 public consultation at both Jebba and Kainji was the need for a thorough understanding of the communities affected by the dam. It is understood that up to 200 communities may have been affected by the construction of either one of the dams and that the needs of only a very small minority, mainly in the immediate vicinity of the dams, have been voiced or responded to in anyway by KHEPLC or JHEPLC. Consequently we have included proposals for a social survey in the ESMP to provide a baseline both for future CSR activities and also to provide a focus for the new ESUs socially based work programme. 8.4.3 Floodplain Mapping The floodplain mapping both upstream and downstream and demarcation of floodplain in the ground (in conjunction with local communities) will help the communities to restrict the activities and thus avoid losses during flooding. The implementation of improved flood warning system will further reduce the losses during flooding. 8.4.4 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) needs to be taken up seriously by KHEPLC. Even if the HYPPADEC is formed, it will take years for them to have an effective role in solving the problems of the close communities. The CSR is part of the ToR of proposed ESU. CSR is essentially, the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making and the honouring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit. CSR-focused businesses proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. • Access road maintenance • Admission of non-staff children into KHEPLC staff primary school * * * • Free consultation in KHEPLC hospital • Scholarship award • Rehabilitation of roads • Provision of 11KV breaker to the new LGA constructed line • Water supply The CSR activities should be discussed in the quarterly Technical Committee. Some of the immediate activities that can be considered are: • Remove or lower fees for the non-KHEPLC staff in the school and the hospital • Provide boreholes to the communities • Creating drainage facilities in Awuru • Develop special electricity tariffs for the resettled communities after provision of a separate line as expected by the NGOs. Awareness programmes should be conducted in all communities on various issues as below. • Awareness of effective fishing techniques. Partial financial support may be provided. • Awareness of alternative livelihood options. Participate at minor level in the Federal, State and Local Government sponsored infrastructural development, rural development, poverty alleviation and micro-credit projects. • Awareness of public health issues. Distributing leaflets on public health issues. • Awareness of the benefit of the dam, powerhouse and its related activities 8.4.5 Grievance Mechanisms There is a need to institute a strong grievance mechanism within the enhanced communication system. This would be achieved by developing a flow of communication as follows: • The ESU should operate in close liaison with the communities and their representatives. ESU personnel should be equipped to feel the yearnings of the communities, and be proficient in conveying the same to KHEPLC top management for appropriate decision making. - KHEPLC should develop a strategy to project the advantages of the dams eg. irrigation, tourism, etc., and should communicate same to the riparian communities and other stakeholders. - HYPPADEC should play a facilitative role in grievance reporting, when the Bill establishing it, is signed into law. The proposed flow chart of the recommended grievance mechanism is given below. **Fig 8.1: Flow Chart of the recommended Grievance Mechanism** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 2 Kainji Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # SECTION 3: JEBBA DAM _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Draft Report_ * * * 9. MANAGEMENT OF THE DAM 9.1 Social and Environmental Audit Report (2006) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 141-142 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The reservoir management mode leads to periodical floods downstream with risks for material and corporal damages(No.29).The occupation of lands located downstream of the spillway for agricultural and habitation needs, despite the real risk in the event of flood and dam breaking(No.39).The flood evacuation warning system not adapted to emergency of dam breaking situations(No.41).The insufficiency of the continuous monitoring of the environmental and social impacts associated with the operations of the installations(No.43).The population is not at all involved in the management of environmental and social risks likely to results in floods and dam breaking(No.48).The auscultation and inspection of dykes and dam are not adequate(No.50).The urgent activities relating to maintenance and repair of dykes and dams are not conducted in due time, often because of lack of human and material resources(No.51).The lack of funds to conduct the repair or expansion activities such as repair of leakage of the spillway(No.52).And The existing safety measures such as switching off of a piece of equipment for servicing are not documented(No.27). | Measure4.4:To set a perimeter of safety downstream from the crest gate of flood in which any dwelling is prohibited.The existing dwellings must be relocatedMeasure4.6:To put in place a warning system which indicates the evacuation of floods and which can make alarm from a site located at tend of kilometres.To put in place a sensitisation campaign for the surrounding and involved populations.Measure4.8:To conduct urgent maintenance activities on the dykes and dams:treatment of insects,filling of cracks and control of vegetation.Measure4.9:To replace the sounding equipment and monitoring instrumentation for dams and dykes by automated equipment within the shortest deadlines to ensure the stability of the works and the safety of the population downstream.Measure4.14:To pull out the populations from the area of flood evacuation and develop,in consultation with the populations upstream of the river.Measure4.16:To analyse the dam safety as well as to conduct a study of breaking of the dam and assess the consequences downstream.To develop a plan for the management of the reservoir in the event of high flood as well as a manual for the surveillance of the installations.Measure4.17:develop an emergency plan to deal with breakage threat.Measures4.18:To develop a participatory plan for the management of the flood and inundation evacuation downstream.Measure4.20:To develop a reservoir management plan,using short,mid,long terms forecasting based on the hydrological data of the river Niger upstream and the meteorological forecasting.To be proactive rather than reactive.Measure4.31:To organise a training session for senior PHCN experts in environmental management,dam safety and safety of hydroelectric installations. | None of the measures suggested by CIMA were taken up so far by JHEPCL except the regular maintenance work of the dam against excessive vegetation (measure4.8).The current situation of the dam structures,hydropower facilities,hydrology and flood management is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | * * * # 9.2 Condition and Maintenance of Structures ## 9.2.1 Introduction Jebba Dam comprises the civil dam structures, the bottom gated spillway, the hydroelectric powerhouse with turbines, generators, and a navigation lock, with monitoring and control systems to all these, and M&E appurtenant works. These all make up a continuous structure of about 2,000m crest length. The site plan is presented in Fig 9.1 below. Technical details of the dam are given in Table 9.2. The civil dam structures include a main rock-fill dam and a saddle dam, and four auxiliary dams comprising an embankment dam and three gravity concrete structures. The Jebba Dam stores and safely releases water to generate hydroelectric power, provide flood protection and, originally, support navigation. **Fig 9.1: Jebba Site Plan** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Table 9.2: Jebba HEP Plant – Technical Details | Date of Commissioning | 16-Apr-85 | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dams | Type | Excavation(m3) | | Crane | | Rock | Soft | | | | | Main dam | Rockfill with earth core | | | | | Saddle Dam | Rockfill with earth core | | | | | Auxiliary 1 | Rockfill with earth core | | | | | Auxiliary 2,3,&4 | Concrete Gravity | | | | | | TOTAL | | 3,950,000 | 4 | | Spillway | | Dimensions | | | | | Type | Length(m) | Height(m) | | | | Radial gates in underflow chute | 12 | 9.5 | | | | Emergency free overflow | 220 | | | | Intake Gates | | Dimensions | | | | | Type | Length(m) | Height(m) | | | | | 10 | 12.4 | | | Penstocks | | Dimensions | | | | | Type | Diameter(m) | | | | | Steel lined | 10 | | | | Navigation | | Length(m) | Width(m) | | | | | 200 | 12.2 | | | Power House | | Length(m) | Width(m) | | | | | 206 | 36 | | | Generation | Unit No | Unit Power(MW) | | | | | 1 | 96.4 | | | | | 2 | 96.4 | | | | | 3 | 96.4 | | | | | 4 | 96.4 | | | | | 5 | 96.4 | | | | | 6 | 96.4 | | | | | Capacity(tonnes) | | | | | Crane | 450 | | | | | Volume (m³) | | Length (m) | Crest el.

The rest of the structures were founded on bedrock. The dam structures are all generally in reasonable condition apart from: - Some minor general clearing of shrub and trees on the rock-fill of the saddle dam, - Instrumentation to the main dam, - Leakage and seepage on the left abutment of the spillway concrete structure, and - Erosion to the side walls and excavations of the spillway return channel. ## 9.2.3 The Spillway The spillway is a concrete gravity structure with six radial gates 12m x 9.5m controlling underflow sluice-ways with upstream emergency gates and provision for downstream stop logs. An emergency spillway on the left abutment appears to be in acceptable condition. The cross section of the Jebba spillway is presented in the Fig 9.2 below. **Fig 9.2: Cross Section of Jebba Spillway** The flood discharge in the order of 2000 cumec during Oct 2010 is shown in photo 9.1 below. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ th Photo 9.1: Flood Discharge Through the Spillway of Jebba Dam on 7 Oct 2010 7^{\\mathrm{t h}} Operation of the spillway radial gates is essential for the dam’s safety. Consequently their maintenance is critical. However, the 2010 Annual Report states in Section 1.3.0.0 that water spilled for lake control was NIL from which it can be inferred that all discharge was through the turbines and the spillways were not operated during the year. The requirement for regular operation of all spillway gates is emphasised in the Dam Safety Section below. It is noted that the maintenance schedule being used by JHEPLC of Routine Preventative Maintenance Requiring No Unit Outage includes a Bi-Annual Inspection and Servicing of Radial Gates. We recommend that each spillway gate is operated through its full opening and closing movements at each inspection by an external expert as recommended in the Dam Safety Protocol in Appendix G. • The lock is rehabilitated as soon as possible to provide this emergency spillage capacity in the event of an extreme hydrological event, It is understood that the navigation lock is not operable currently. Although not ideal as a spillway facility, the navigation lock provides a means of last resort should spillway gates fail. We recommend that: 9.2.4 The Lock The diagrammatic section of the Jebba powerhouse is presented in the Figure 9.3 below. * * * **Fig 9.3: Diagrammatic Section of Jebba Powerhouse** ## 9.2.6 Trash Screens & Gates Lifting and/or closing intake gates and cleaning trash screens are included in Jebba’s Routine Preventative Maintenance Requiring Short Unit Outage and would be subject to checks during the required independent expert inspections. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## 9.2.7 Instrumentation The sample framework of Dam Safety Protocol in Appendix G requires that an owner of a dam such as Jebba installs, monitors and maintains instrumentation to adequately monitor the performance of the dam. Jebba has satisfactory instrumentation installed but during the June 2010 site visit, the need for rehabilitation of some of this was identified. The original construction soils laboratory is now used as an Instrumentation Workshop. **Photo 9.2: Instrumentation Workshop** The main dam is a rock-fill structure that includes 66 no. remote-controlled piezometers (Photo 9.3). The 2010 Annual Report, in section 2.5.2.2 advises that no readings were recorded from these during the previous year because the readouts in the terminal building were not operable. Section 11 of the Dam Safety Protocol in Appendix G calls for an owner of a dam such as Jebba Dam to monitor, maintain or replace instrumentation installed at a dam to ensure continuity of readings. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 9.3: Remote-controlled Piezometers Terminals** The main dam is founded on treated alluvium material and has a non-positive upstream blanket foundation extending 450m from the toe. Visible seepage is not possible while the dam’s toe is submerged. Although there are pressure relief wells on the downstream berm these remote-controlled piezometers could provide essential data to monitor the condition of the embankment and the upstream blanket. We recommend that: - the remote-controlled piezometers are reinstated, - their terminal boards are rehabilitated, and - regular data collection for these piezometers is reinstated. The inclinometers (Photo 9.4) continue to be read but an improved hook would assist with this. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 9.4: Headworks of Inclinometer** ## 9.2.8 Flows through the Dam Of particular concern is the fluctuating but apparently increasing flow from drain hole AD53 in Auxiliary Dam 3 on the left abutment. Potentially related to this is a spring that has developed over the last ten years through tar macadam surfacing to the level area downstream of this drain hole. During the site visit on 17th June 2010 a simple procedure for measuring flow from the drain hole itself was suggested and a location was identified where this flow plus that from the spring could be measured to monitor this leak/seepage. A small amount of particle residue was visible in a channel downstream of the darn AD53. It was reported by JHEPLC that this drain is cleaned of this sediment regularly but additional sediment then settles in the same place. Whilst the seepage itself might not be a serious loss of water, any increase in flow from the drain itself gives some cause for concern. This increase in flow, when combined with the presence of material possibly being washed through the drain, indicates the possibility of internal erosion taking place. If this is the case the problem must be addressed as it may be the first indication of serious degradation to the cut-off or foundation of this part of the dam. Observation of excavated in-situ sidewalls (Photo 9.6) close to the spring (Photo 9.5) during the site visit on 17th June 2010 showed heavily jointed rock that, should it be present under the structure, might open when the spillway is operated and vibrations are transferred into the foundation. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 9.5: Level Area Downstream of Drain AD53 with Spring** **Photo 9.6: Side Wall Excavation to the Level Area Downstream** ## of Drain AD53 (showing heavily jointed material). Whilst remedial works might include grouting the foundation, such works would run the risk of sealing drain holes and introducing unacceptable uplift pressures on to the structure. To protect the drains from blockage by further grouting it would be beneficial to identify the seepage path from the reservoir through the foundation, preferably the depth as well as the plan location, prior to any grouting. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * We recommend that: - the seepage path is located by a reputable procedure such as willowstick, - any necessary remedial works are designed to ensure the drains are not blocked, and - remedial works are carried out. It cannot be understated that the safety of the dam is paramount to the continuing operation of the HEP, and the dam’s ability to safely pass an extreme event flood. Dam Safety Instrumentation and the capability of the dam safety team to carry out their monitoring duties and analyses are essential. The capability of the dam safety team to successfully carry these out requires suitable equipment, transport, offices, computer facilities and workshops to maintain their equipment. In summary the following deficiencies in the instrumentation and monitoring equipment were noted - Instrumentation - Terminal boards for the main dam remote-controlled piezometers - Monitoring equipment - Pneumatic piezometer read out loggers - Lifting hook for Inclinometers - Equipment to measure seepage flows from Drain AD53 - Support facilities - Improved office IT equipment - Light repair tools for the workshop - 4 wheel drive twin cab - Working lights to all tunnels and adits - External dam safety requirements - Identify the seepage path to Drain AD 53 and beyond to the spring in the downstream area by a reputable procedure such as willowstick - Design remedial works to this seepage/leak and carry them out. - There was a report about bed load accumulation on the upstream side of the dam, which consist of wood logs, remnant of cut trees and sediments. PHCN has already initiated steps to clear the bed load near the dam. ## 9.2.9 Storage of Documentation Much of the original design information on Jebba Dam is probably available but it is not centrally located and not easily to hand. The drawing offices in Jebba contain numerous cabinets of drawings and documents that would be irreplaceable if lost or destroyed. Other useful documents were located in the library of the National Fisheries Institute. A particular hazard to these hard copy documents is fire (see Chapter 12). _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## We recommend: - All relevant documents are located. - These documents are classified, registered, scanned and digital copies stored in more than a single location. - Digital copies are made available to users as and when a local digital network and IT Department is developed. # 9.3 Power Generation ## 9.3.1 Introduction JHEPLC is one of the power generating companies under the control of The Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC (PHCN). Income is solely from the sale of electrical power generated by each company and the rate earned per unit of power is set by national government. Thus the only way to increase revenue and hence the operation and maintenance budget is to increase the amount of power generated and sold. However, a way to reduce the costs of its generation is to improve the load factor of each power generating unit, and the Jebba HEP as whole. The amount of power generated is controlled by the quantity of water available, and its head, and also the amount of power the grid will accept at any one time. ## 9.3.2 Joint Operation and Kainji’s Use of Rule Curves In the initial proposal to develop the HEP potential of the Niger River in Nigeria the Jebba HEP was to follow directly after the completion of the Kainji project. Consequently the joint operation of the two schemes has been planned from the start. Jebba’s reservoir storage is significantly less than Kainji’s. However, the run-off from the catchment area between the dams has a distinct impact on Jebba’s generation, particularly during the high flow period between July and November. Jebba’s 2010 Annual Report estimates these flows to be as shown in Fig 9.4. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Fig 9.4: Jebba Inflow Data** During the period that these flows are available to Jebba the releases from Kainji Dam can be reduced and so storage increased in that dam, i.e. the Filling Rule Curve becomes applicable. A consequence of following this Rule Curve might then be a reduction in generation at Kainji. However, we have recommended that the Rule Curves at Kainji be updated following a review of the hydrology of the Niger River, and such updating will have to include the impact of these flows on the Rule Curves, and hence emergency generation, for both HEPs. Nevertheless, the day–to-day operations are simplified at Jebba by, generally, a demand lead operation manual, and follows that of Kainji described above, i.e. in effect, the day to day operation is determined by - availability of water, - availability of plant, and - demand, or grid system capacity, defined by National Control Centre (NCC) at Oshogbo. ## 9.3.3 Power Generation A summary of power generation at Jebba during 2009 is provided in Table 9.3, taken from the 2010 annual report: _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Table 9.3: Jebba HEP Power Generation 2009 (MWh) | | (MWh) | | --- | --- | | JAN | 224509 | | FEB | 216862 | | MAR | 258166 | | APR | 210797 | | MAY | 208931 | | JUN | 184341 | | JUL | 148842 | | AUG | 185801 | | SEP | 276000 | | OCT | 277397 | | NOV | 247355 | | DEC | 237859 | | TOTAL | 2676860 | The installed capacity at Jebba HEP plant is nominally as shown in Table 9.4. Table 9.4: Jebba HEP Plant Nominal Installed Capacity (MW) | Unit No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | Total | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Nominal Capacity(MW) | 96.4 | 96.4 | 96.4 | 96.4 | 96.4 | 96.4 | 578.4 | | Nominal power(MWh) | 844464 | 844464 | 844464 | 844464 | 844464 | 844464 | 5066784 | | Generation in 2009 | 535585 | 525995 | 653385 | 309142 | 532495 | 120455 | 2677057 | | Load Factor | 63% | 62% | 77% | 37% | 63% | 14% | 53% | load factors for units 1, 2, 3 and 5 were satisfactory. Those for units 4 and 6 were severely impacted by a fire incident in April 2009 that flooded the six units which were all out for the day of 22 April 2009. Unit 4 was back in operation August whilst unit 6 was still out during the site visit on 22 June 2010. * * * ## 9.3.4 Operation and Maintenance Following the rehabilitation of plant, it should be fully maintained as defined under the Operation and Maintenance Manuals. We have recommended that all Manuals are located, registered and digitised. These provide the basis for all O&M. JHEPLC holds maintenance schedules and samples of these are given in the Operation Manual in Appendix H. ## 9.3.5 Workshop Requirements Effective maintenance requires workshop facilities, equipment and appropriately trained staff. The existing main heavy mechanical workshop is generally suitable. However, with some simple modifications an office, allowing full visibility of the workshop, might easily be constructed above the store room. ## In addition, we recommend: - full equipping of this workshop with machinery as identified by the appropriate staff. - light tools. The PC&M (Protection Controls and Metering) office and workshop requires improvement and additional suitable equipment if the staff are to respond to the increasing age of the controls and alarms. We understand that the PC&M maintenance staff have identified additional equipment they require to continue their work and we recommend that this is provided under WRD-SEM. We recommend improved office and workshop facilities for this team and that the valuable manuals within these offices are identified and registered before being digitised. The vehicle workshop is the original workshop used during construction (Photo 9.7), as is the mobile 60 ton crane (Photo 9.8). Whilst the workshop continues to serve its original purpose well, there must be concern that the original crane is fast approaching the end of its useful life. It is understood the crane would be required to move stop logs into place on the lock, in which case we recommend that the crane is tested and replaced should there be any doubt of its capability to carry out the role. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 9.7 Vehicle Workshop** **Photo 9.8: 60T Mobile Crane** There are also an aged 30 ton crane (Photo 9.9) and a forklift that will both require replacing before they become a risk of failing to operate in an emergency, when their operation is often critical. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 9.9: 30T Mobile Crane** It is recommended that these workshops provide a mobile capacity to respond to breakdowns for which we recommend a four by four twin cab vehicle with towing capability and relevant light tools including an air pump. ## 9.3.6 Control Room The control room of the plant is in good condition. However, it is based largely on analogue data transfer and readout. Some digitisation has been introduced. JHEPLC maintenance staff will need some re-training prior to the turbine generator upgrades to make best use of new digital data readouts that will almost certainly be included with the new equipment. # 9.4 Flood Management Flood management at Kainji Dam (Chapter 4) directly affects flood management at Jebba HEP. Kainji’s greater flood retention capacity must be used to attenuate the Black Floods and pre-release water to provide additional storage may also be needed. Jebba may not be able to fully utilise this pre-release flow for power generation in which case spillage from Jebba is inevitable. White Floods from the intermediate catchment may also require releases with similar downstream impacts. There are two direct concerns with extreme event floods: - the capability of the structure to safely pass the flood waters without breaching and _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * - the safety of persons and property around the reservoir and downstream of the dam. The need for maintenance and regular operation of the spillway gates is discussed above. The emergency spillway provides additional capacity and the navigation lock should be made operable to provide a measure of last resort. The operation procedures for opening the spillway must follow the Rule Curve discussed above. We have recommended that the hydrology of the Niger River be re-analysed to a short distance below Jebba dam, taking into account the joint operation of both reservoirs to re- define new Rule Curves for emptying and filling of both reservoirs during day-to-day operation as well as for floods. Kainji HEP collects hydrological data of the Niger River upstream from the dam as described in Chapter 5. Collection of hydrological data for the Niger River tributaries between Kanji and Jebba is carried out by Jebba’s team. The 2010 Annual Report notes that this team manages: - manual staff gauges set up on these tributaries, the headwater of the reservoir below Kainji, and at different points of the tailrace to monitor the fluctuations of the water level at the tailrace channel, - automatic water level recorders (AWLR) at both the powerhouse intake and on the Niger at Jebba Rail Bridge, - a weather station at the dam site to collect hydro-meteorological data. The staff gauges require regular maintenance following the White Floods and to quickly repair any vandalism. We recommend that the current procedure of data collection and flood management is maintained. However, we recommend procedures are reviewed following the completion of the recommended hydrological study of the Niger River that includes a flood study, and procedures for improving transfer of data from gauging stations upstream of Kainji. We also recommend that this study is extended to take into account data collection of the tributaries between Kainji and Jebba, the joint operation of Kanji and Jebba reservoirs, and improved data collection and transfer of inflow data from these tributaries. We recommended above that Kainji’s Flood Rule Curve is used in a simulation exercise to ensure staff are familiar with this procedure. We further recommend that this exercise is also carried out at Jebba. The EPP incorporates the impact of floods defined in the O&M Plan on persons living both upstream and downstream of the dam, and is described in Appendix I as far as is possible at this stage. The absence of any flood mapping means that a vital component of the EPP is not available. Proposals providing inundation and other mapping are provided under the Environmental Management Plan in Chapter 14. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # 9.5 Flood Warning Communications ## 9.5.1 Current System The existing communication system for Jebba dam is shown in Fig 9.5. There was indication during the field visit that upstream communities may not receive flood warning messages. **Fig 9.5: Existing Flood Warning Communication System at Jebba** The current system is satisfactory as an early warning system but is not suitable for emergency announcements. _**9.5.2 Mitigation Measures**_ Flood warning messages should be extended to all upstream communities. The flood warnings may be issued using a set of easily recognisable codes. The warnings should be communicated to the concerned at appropriate time (well in advance) and in a realistic manner. The important issues while developing flood warning communication system are - Range of communication messages and techniques should be employed (eg. Flood warning codes, flags, communication sirens, use of floodlines, etc.) - More effective public participation should help build trust and better understanding between the public, community networks and the officials. - The public cannot be treated as one target group as in reality they are made up of many different groups with different perceptions. For example, the public can be categorised as follows o Experienced regular flooders – people who are living on the fringes of the flood plain and having knowledge of flood management. These people must be involved in the flood management. They should be provided with enough _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ communication systems (eg. Floodline) to provide information and to ensure that they are taking enough steps to avoid damages. o People with lack of understanding – those who have not been flooded but living in the danger zone have received information and do not understand the risk o Information deficit – People who are not receiving the information and also those who moves into flooding areas o Communication deficit – People who are difficult to reach. This may also include those whose physical or mental impairments require more resources to ensure that the message reaches them. o Not at risk – People who will not be flooded but they need general awareness on flood. o Third parties - A wide range of trades, institutes and professions, who are all involved with properties in the floodplain. Identification of target groups & partners in flood management and development of flood warning codes & communication system are included in the service contract package 1. Figure 9.6 proposes an improved flow of communication from JHEPLC Hydrology Department to villagers. **Fig 9.6: Recommended Flood Warning Communication System at Jebba Dam** In order to enhance the existing communication system and to develop a fully interactive system between the dam and the riverside communities, the communication equipment options explored during field investigation were as follows. - Satellite telephony (Thuraya) _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * - Provision of Radio Booster Station - Regular Radio and Television programmes to be conducted on flood forecast and water level situation report. - The existing local radio broadcasting facilities o Radio Kwara-99.0 o Harmony FM-103.5 o Niger FM (Power FM)-100.5 However, the most workable of the options explored are presented below as a result of the fact that more people in rural areas would find a portable radio set affordable, accessible and would require no maintenance from PHCN. - Provision and enhancement of Radio Booster Station to Kwara Radio – MOD. 10B HARRIS upgrade from 2.5 kHZ to 6 kHZ. This would cover 150km radius, while the existing coverage is only 20 km radius. JHEPLC should encourage the general public to listen to bulletins about water levels, discharges and flood flows both upstream and downstream of the dam on daily basis at a particular time. The cost of broadcasting a five minute programme on the Kwara radio is expected to be in the order of N 10,000 per day per channel. The daily broadcast should have the following features: - Water levels (upstream & downstream). - Forecast of flood threat and its timing. - Recommended steps to be taken in flood prone areas. - Reasons for any reported anomalies given in layman’s language. - Use of English and local languages (Nupe). - Aired at prime time as much as possible. - Publicise JHEPLC’s corporate social responsibility activities and other notable achievements. - Publicise the benefits of the dam and its activities. - Address any other issue relating to the activities of the dam. - Programme to be interesting to listeners. - Clear statement of JHEPLC’s commitment to environmental and social responsibilities. Following preparation of flood plain mapping, the management of KHEPLC should work with the local communities to create a safe emergency assembly point. This point should be well _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ publicised, villagers should be adequately informed and drills conducted. The safe assembly point should be selected bearing in mind the following features: - Located on high points and easily accessible. - To be completely away from the flood plain (to be determined by proposed mapping) - Equipped with dedicated standby passenger canoes/boats, where necessary (depending on frequency of floods, accessibility of rescue aids, proximity to rescue aid, etc.). - Conform to conventional safety standards. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # 10\. IMPACTS AND MITIGATION PROPOSALS ## 10.1 Hydrology and Sedimentation This aspect of the investigations is covered by section 5.1 et seq. above. ## 10.2 Soil Erosion and Catchment Degradation ### 10.2.1 Impacts Villagers use firewood obtained from the land other than the protected areas and thus expose the land to erosion. Cultivation of the periphery of the lake, sometimes even on the flood plain, also increases the risk of erosion. River bank erosion is visible just below the dam and also at Gungu and Ipata villages (Photo 10.1). The erosion at the tail race is due to the geology and activities during the construction of the dam, whereas the Gungu and Ipata villages are affected by erosion due to natural river meandering and the effects of the upstream bridge on flows. **Photo 10.1: River Bank Erosion at Gungu Village** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * ## 10.2.2 Mitigation Catchment degradation, especially of tributary catchments, should be assessed using satellite imagery taken from two different dates, a decade or two apart. Based on the above catchment degradation assessment, the locations of erosion risk areas can be identified. A catchment management programme could be developed for the risk prone areas with external sources of funding. The programme could be managed through LGAs rather than by JHEPLC themselves. Erosion at the tail race and at Gungu village should be studied in detail before proposing mitigation measures. This activity will be undertaken as part of WRD-SEM. # 10.3 Water Quality ## 10.3.1 Impacts Jebba power plant takes water from the river to drive the turbines and discharges water directly into the river without any form of water treatment prior to release. There is relatively little potential for contamination of waters prior to discharge. However, a number of processes within the plant and the associated offices may introduce both chemical and biological agents into the waters. Such activities include: - Transport, use and storage of chemical agents used for electricity generation: - transformer oils; - lubricants; - electrolyte fluids for battery maintenance; - degreasers; - fumigants and pesticides; and - detergents and other cleaning agents. - Release of sewage containing biological and chemical agents from sanitary facilities and kitchen areas. It is also noted that oil from bunds surrounding transformers is collected via a central drain which discharges directly into the river. The River Niger is currently used purposes other than power generation. These include: - abstraction for use as a drinking water source by JHEPLC. - direct use for domestic purposes by individuals in communities local to the river, such as for bathing, household sanitation and drinking. - irrigation of crops. - fishing. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * The following section examines the existing impacts of these activities on the water quality of the Jebba Lake and River Niger in the light of Nigerian water quality legislation already presented in Chapter 2. 10.3.2 Monitoring In accordance with current requirements of the Federal Ministry of Environment as outlined in The Nigerian Federal Government Regulation S.I.8 and S.I.9, monthly effluent discharge monitoring and analysis reporting is undertaken at JHEPLC. There are four sampling points at the Jebba plant, namely: • Jebba camp water treatment intake • power intake at the dam crest; • tailrace; and • Jebba Bridge. The existing reporting process is undertaken on a monthly basis by Godirra Chemicals Ltd. Their reports detail methodologies for sample analysis, as well as providing an estimate of impact on water quality due to activities by JHEPLC. In addition every three months samples are sent to the Regional Water Laboratory Minna while FME have a mandate to take samples every six months but results are not available to JHEPLC and data collection is irregular. Analytical results for the following parameters are reported, based on analysis undertaken by a certified laboratory (Unilag Consult – the University of Lagos Consultancy Services): • pH; • Temperature • Temperature • Conductivity • Conductivity • Total dissolved solids • Total dissolved solids • Total suspended solids • Total suspended solids • Biological oxygen demand 2+ 2+ • Cations (Ca, Mg, Na+, Ca2+, K) 3--2-2- • Anions (PO4, NO3, CO3, SiO3, SO4 • Dissolved oxygen • Total hardness • Total hardness • Oil/Grease • Biological oxygen demand • Chemical oxygen demand \\bullet\\quad\\mathsf{A n i o n s\ (P O\_{4}}^{3}cdot\\mathsf{N O\_{3}}\\cdot,mathsf{C O\_{3}}^{2}\\cdot\\mathsf{S O O\_{3}}^{2\\cdot},\\mathsf{S O\_{3}}^{2\\cdot},\\mathsf{S O\_{4}}^{22},\\mathsf{C C\ ,{\\mathsf{H C O^{3}}})} • Chemical oxygen demand • Dissolved oxygen • Extractable heavy metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium and zinc) • Total hydrocarbon content. * * * ## 10.3.3 Operational Impacts On the basis of the assessment in the water quality monitoring reports, the impacts on water quality from power generation are minimal. On the basis of an evaluation of reports from February to April 2010, chemical and physical parameters for surface waters from the Jebba dam and immediately downstream remain within the prescribed environmental standards for industrial effluents. Sewage from the power plant and associated office areas is collected centrally and released untreated to the river at the tailrace. The analytical results show a comparative increase in both heterotrophic bacteria and fungi within the tailrace sample collected, when compared to the intake waters. However, total coliforms, which in conjunction with the presence of faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci, would usually provide an indication of the presence of sewage related bacteria within water, were not detected. The current monitoring regime is not sufficiently robust to fully assess the potential for bacteria to be present and should be extended to include the above named bacterial parameters. ## 10.3.4 Conclusions and Recommendations on Operational Impacts Overall impacts on water quality from power generation are minimal. However given the domestic and other uses of river water downstream of the power plant trade effluent standards do not provide the best means of assessment. The compliance with the standards for aquatic waters, as contained within Table 5 of the National Guidelines and Standards for Water Quality in Nigeria, in conjunction with the standards for trade effluents contained within the National Effluent Limiting Regulations is recommended to provide a more suitable means of evaluating water quality. Sewage from the power plant and associated office should be collected centrally and pre- treated prior to release to the river, or prior to an alternative means of waste disposal. W ater quality monitoring should include suitable bacteriological parameters to provide a better means of estimating potential impacts. Such parameters would include total coliforms, faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci, as described in the National Guidelines and Standards for Water Quality in Nigeria. Similarly oil drained directly to the river must be collected and pre-treated, or otherwise disposed of. ## 10.3.5 WRD-SEM Impacts The rehabilitation works under WRD-SEM comprise relatively minor engineering works. During implementation the following activities may have an impact on water quality: - Release of oils, lubricants and degreasing agents from existing equipment being removed. - Release of oils, lubricants and degreasing agents during the installation of new equipment. - Increase in sewage volume due to the presence of additional contractor staff associated with the dam rehabilitation. These impacts are expected to be minimal, provided appropriate waste management procedures are put into place during the rehabilitation process, such as will be achieved with _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ adherence to the steps detailed in the appended waste management protocol and plan. In addition to this, the increase in water volume downstream from the dam due to discharge from the spillway, should it be necessary during the rehabilitation works, will also help reduce the predicted impact of release of the substances listed above. The implementation of management procedures should also ensure that incidental losses of oils, lubricants and other chemical agents be reduced during future operation of the power plant. Similarly, management procedures should be applied to significantly reduce the impact of sewage on water quality. # 10.4 Terrestrial and Aquatic Flora and Fauna ## 10.4.1 Impacts Abiodu (2009) identified 60 fish species in Jebba Lake. Fish production and fishing activity along the River Niger and the associated floodplains between Jebba and Lokoja is given below (Excerpts taken from FAO, 2010). - The stretch of the River Niger from Jebba to Lokoja covers a distance of about 300 km with an estimated floodplain area of about 385,500 ha. This floodplain includes lakes (e.g. Lake Ndakolowu), swamps and marsh lands. A frame survey conducted in 1985 identified a total of 1,780 fishing boats (of which 503 were mechanized) and 5,193 fishermen, of whom 1,780 were boat owners and the rest assistants. - Commercial catch statistics along this stretch obtained in November/December 1985 showed the numerical predominance of Tilapia (25.6%) followed by Synodontis (24.8%) and Labeo (8.3%), Citharinus (6.3%), Schilbe (6%), Mormyrus (5.6%), Bagrus (5.2%), Alestes (4.6%), Gymnarchus (3.3%), Clarias (2.6%), Lates (2.5%), Heterotis (2.2%) and Chrysichthys (1.4%). Other species of lesser economic importance included Auchenoglanis, Clarotes, Malapterurus, Heterobranchus and Distichodus. - Tilapia also dominated the catch in terms of weight making up 20.1%, followed by Synodontis (15.1%), Citharinus (10.9%), Labeo (9.3%), Mormyrus (7.5%), Gynnarchus (7%), Bagrus (6.4%), Lates (6.3%), Clarias (4.7%), Alestes (4.1%) and Heterotis (3.1%). Other species of lesser importance included Chrysichthys, Schilbe, Clarotes, Auchenoglanis, Malapterurus, Heterobranchus and Distichodus. These made up less than 6% of the total landing of 610 kg of fish in the sampled villages. The estimated daily catch per boat along the stretch was 11.3 kg while the estimated total annual fish landing was 4,431.6 MT. - Judging from the order of relative importance of species in the catch, no carnivores being dominant, it could be assumed that the bulk of the catch came from the floodplains rather than the main river channel, supported by the fact that the period of the survey coincided with the flood season. ## 10.4.2 Mitigation Rural development projects, for example the GEF funded project of KLNP, could be extended to all the villages on the Jebba lake banks. JHEPLC can be engaged as a partner with LGA to implement this project in the close communities. NIFFR could be contracted to conduct fisheries research and for creating awareness among fishermen about the use of right kind of gear nets and efficient ways of fishing. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * The spillway rehabilitation work and the new dam operational procedures, based on the proposed hydrological modelling, will change the flow regime. This will have a low impact on existing flora and fauna and the suggested mitigation measures are sufficient for JHEPLC to support the close communities in the long run. 10.5 Public Health 10.5.1 Social and Environmental Audit Report (2006) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 141-142 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The prevalence of the cases of waterborne diseases associated with the presence of the reservoir and consumption of non-processed water(No.27). | Measure4.1:To provide drinking water to the population through the construction of a water processing station | | | Measure4.2:To sensitise the riparian populations on the control of water borne diseases and their vectors. | The mitigation measures suggested by the CIMA report have not yet been implemented. | | | The current public health situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | | | 10.5.2 Present Approach The World Health Organization states that about one third of the global disease burden in developing countries such as Nigeria could be reduced through available environmental health interventions and strategies (World Health Organization, 2010: Public Health and Environment in the African Region - Report on the work of WHO (2008–2009)). The impacts of works processes at JHEPLC are relevant to the following potential causes of adverse health impacts to the local community: • lack of access to safe drinking water; • air pollution (indoor and outdoor); JHEPLC runs a well established hospital and life camp that treats both staff members and individuals in the local community. There are also state owned health centres to impart primary care to the people. The hospital provides paid consultations and charges for medicines to the public but is free for staff. The hospital section has staff strength of 71 distributed between the following departments: • air pollution (indoor and outdoor); • poor domestic sanitation facilities; • poor domestic sanitation facilities; • inadequate waste disposal; • inadequate waste disposal; • access to healthcare facilities; • inadequate waste disposal; • access to healthcare facilities; • exposure to chemicals and injuries. • absent or unsafe disease vector control; and • exposure to chemicals and injuries. * * * - Laboratory section - X-ray \ radiodiagnostic section - Medical records section - Canteen services section - Laundry section - Mortuary section - Dam site clinic section - Junior camp clinic - Public health section. The posters of Aids awareness are displayed in the powerhouse (See Photo below). **Photo 10.2: HIV/Aids Awareness Poster** Jebba hospital recently acquired a waste incinerator for the safe disposal of medical wastes. The water treatment plant at JHEPLC also provides water to nearby residential areas. However, there is evidence that communities surrounding the plant, such as Jebba town, use water directly from the river for household use, and as a drinking water source. The water is also most likely used without prior treatment. The following diseases have been reported to be prevalent in the surrounding areas: - Malaria and Enteric fever - Gastroenteritis - Cholera - Bacillary and amoebic dysentery - Schistosomasis (Bilharzia) - Pneumonia - Chicken pox and Meningitis _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] • HIV/AIDS Although there is very limited availability of statistics for disease incidence in the locality, water borne and water related diseases reported to the PHCN Hospital for the working year of June 2009 - June 2010 are included in Table 10.1 below.

Suggested methods for water treatment in local communities include: - _Solar disinfection: This is undertaken by exposing water in disposable clear plastic_ bottles to sunlight for a day, typically on the roof of a house. A combination of heat and ultra-violet radiation from the sun are used to inactivate pathogens present in water. To be effective, solar disinfection must be applied to relatively clear water. This method is free and would use an abundant renewable sunlight resource but is not fully reliable. - _Chlorination: At doses of a few mg/litre and contact times of about 30 minutes, free_ chlorine generally inactivates greater than 99.99% of enteric bacteria and viruses, provided water is clear. Chlorine can come in a variety of sources, including solid calcium hypochlorite or liquid sodium hypochlorite. Household level chlorination has been implemented most commonly in combination with safe storage and behaviour change techniques, including social marketing, community mobilization, motivational interviewing, communication, and education. - _Boiling: If practical, households can disinfect their drinking water by bringing it to a_ rolling boil, which will kill pathogens effectively. In order to be effective, however, the treated water must be protected from re-contamination. Caution must also be exercised to avoid scalding accidents, especially among young children. ## Public awareness - _Water borne and water related diseases: Public awareness schemes for water borne_ diseases have not been identified at Jebba Hydroelectric Plc. Public schemes on water treatment options (as outlined above) are recommended. The most effective means of undertaking this would be the provision of local training schemes by community workers in local languages. - Workers present during the construction phase should also be made aware of safe practices for drinking water and of water related disease through worker safety risk assessments prior to project commencement. - _Rapid Epidemiological Waterborne Diseases Survey: This should be carried out in the_ Kainji area to determine the seriousness of waterborne diseases and to recommend treatment of infected people and determination of the next steps; - _Communicable diseases:_ Public awareness schemes for communicable diseases have not been identified at Jebba Hydroelectric Plc. Public schemes on water treatment options (as outlined above) are recommended. The most effective means of undertaking this would be the provision of local training schemes by community workers in local languages. - Workers present during construction phase should also be made aware of safe practices for communicable disease in worker safety risk assessments prior to project commencement. These should include a listing of prevalent diseases such HIV/AIDS, meningitis and malaria, for which prophylactics can be sourced before departure. ## Waste Management - Exposure to waste from health-care activities and also construction activities is a potential risk to individuals, communities and the environment if not properly managed. It is of particular note that the majority of waste produced by healthcare activities is highly infectious. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * - Further details on waste management procedures are included in the waste management sections of this report. # 10.6 Cultural and Historic Sites There are no cultural and historic sites expected to be affected due to this project intervention. However the following cultural and historic sites are in the vicinity. - Mungo Park Monument, Jebba - Juju Rock, Jebba Villagers have reportedly tended to refuse relocation as a result of ancestral beliefs and attachment to their original locations, where their placentas were buried at birth. # 10.7 Construction of WRD-SEM Components ## 10.7.1 Traffic Heavy equipment and plant for the proposed rehabilitation is expected to be shipped to Lagos and then transported by heavy vehicles along the north expressway to the dam site, where mobile cranes will lift the goods to a location suitable for the in-situ cranes. The condition of the north expressway was particularly poor at the time of the site visit and the goods will need to be well packaged for protection and then well tied down. Were the rail network operating, this transport system would have been preferable, both in terms of security and in terms of a reduced carbon footprint. Smaller and more sensitive equipment is expected to be delivered to Nigeria by air to Abuja and then transported by road to the site. The additional volume of traffic is not expected to be a factor on both road systems, and the weight of the shipped plant and equipment is not expected to exceed the full 30,000l fuel bowsers currently using this road. Notwithstanding this, it is essential to include within the contract documentation that the contractor is responsible for all aspects of transport including verification of the route and any weight restriction along the route, licensing and taxes. ## 10.7.2 Contractor’s EMP A full contractor’s Environmental Management Plan is included in Appendix K. This will form the basis for enforceable contract provisions. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] 11. WASTE MANAGEMENT 11.1 Social and Environmental Audit Report (2006) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 141-142 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested at the CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The discharge of liquid waste directly in the river and the neihbouring lands(No.30)。 | | | | The ignorance of existence of the refuse in the waters and lands both from the qualitative and quantitative points of view(No.32)。 | | | | The absence of liquid and solid waste management plan(No.33)。 | | | | The insufficiency of data enabling to quantify the liquid and solid refuse or even to conduct a mass assessment(No.34)。 | | | | The lack of practice on filtration of exhausted oil by a recycling technique to minimise the volume of reject of exhausted oil.(No.35)。 | | | | The absence of a programme for collection and disposal of dangerous waste(acids, oil, etc.) (No.36)。 | | | | The non-secured storage of consumable products and materials in the warehouses and the real risk for the worker's safety,notably,in the event of accident or fire(No.37)。 | Measure4.5:To install the environmental cases with follow-up of the materials used.To find a system of follow-up of the materials with responsibilities and consequences。 | | | Measure4.7:To adopt more safe practices in conformity with safety norms,like separation of new products from used products。 | | | | Measure4.10:To develop and execute a programme for collection and storage of dangerous waste such as the rejection of worn batteries。 | | | | Measure4.15:To categorise the waste and make a mass balance of each unit of the infrastructure。 | | | | Measure4.19:To develop and execute a plan for management of waste.The said plan shall deal with solid and liquid waste as well as dangerous matter,recycling and integration of spontaneous recycling。 | The solid and liquid contamination of open surfaces(apron,floors and workshop spaces) still continues。 | | | Domestic solid wastes and sewage management were discussed but not yet implemented。 | | | | There is no comprehensive waste management plan as suggested by CIMA report。 | | | | The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming subsections with mitigation measures。 | | | 11.2 Solid Waste 11.2.1 Current Situation • Office materials such as paper, other stationary and furniture. • Use and maintenance of machinery within hydroelectric plant, including packaging materials, machine parts and tools. * * * - Materials used in medical treatment such as syringes, wound dressings and medical drugs The waste management practices at JHEPLC are generally well established. There are visible waste paper baskets in the HEP plant (see Photo 11.1) and associated offices as well as lidded bins for the disposal of refuse (such as food packaging waste) from daily activity within the plant and offices. These are placed at regular intervals and there is little evidence of litter in the offices and work areas. **Photo 11.1: Waste Bin at Jebba HEP** The workrooms in the plant and operating areas have well managed house-keeping procedure. However, a few large items are present within the generator rooms near the generator that is no longer functioning. There are also a number of unlabelled containers, and open drums that may lead to accidental spills (Photo 11.2). _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 11.2: Unprotected Open Oil Drum** It was noted that drums of transformer oil are placed in well controlled bunds with concrete floors but these areas drain (Photos 11.3 and 11.4) directly to the River Niger. **Photo 11.3: Oil Spills into Gutter Which Drains to River Niger** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 11.4: Oil Spills into Apron Which Drains to Gutter** The plant uses an integrated purifying plant for recycling of all transformer oils, and spent oils and other materials are removed for disposal via the stores. The stores comprise an organised system of filing for smaller items, with metal storage racks for spare parts, tools, plumbing materials and other hardware used in the plant. Larger items such as oil drums are stored outdoors on canopied concrete storage areas. Sewage from the powerhouse and associated offices is currently released untreated into the River Niger. There is a disused waste treatment plant and incinerator that previously received sewage and domestic waste from the staff quarters. ## 11.2.2 ERD-SEM Project Impacts a) Construction Period Sanitary waste will be generated at the power plant consisting of human excreta or “night dirt” generated by the sewage system, and in any portable toilets (‘porta-loos’) that may be used by construction staff. Refuse/rubbish (i.e., living area waste, kitchen waste, cafeteria waste, cleaning waste etc) will consist of the various wastes generated by the people who live at the Project-Camp and from the waste generated by the kitchen and cafeteria operations. The kitchen crews and the camp management will be responsible for making sure that camp generated refuse is properly managed. Wind can blow this refuse around the camp and animals and vectors can create unhealthy conditions. Therefore, effective housekeeping actions should be employed throughout the life of the Project. Non hazardous wastes (such as food packaging, stationary, packing materials etc.) will be generated as part of the construction process. This waste does not pose a hazard to workers, but can be blown around the jobsite and beyond the jobsite perimeter. Therefore, effective _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ housekeeping actions should be employed throughout the life of the rehabilitation works to prevent this occurring. Dunnage or waste from containers used to protect goods and their packaging from moisture, contamination and mechanical damage (such as wooden crating, packing materials, plastic shrink wrap, metal straps) will be generated. Often, this waste consists of plywood and 2”x4” wood attached to or surrounding equipment. The size varies from small pieces of scrap wood to full sheets of plywood and other lumber. In addition, there will be a large volume of metal “tie-straps” used to hold dunnage and bundles of materials together. When not properly stacked and managed, dunnage can become a safety hazard and a housekeeping mess. Staff working in machine maintenance should be responsible for maintaining housekeeping in those areas. Hazardous waste in small quantities will be generated as part of normal construction activities. KHEPLC and its subcontractors should manage these wastes in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with best industry practices. KHEPLC and their subcontractors should be responsible for the proper identification, storage, and disposal of their hazardous waste. A Hazardous (dangerous) Waste is defined as the following: - Material in question is inherently “waste like” appears on the dangerous waste source list as contained in Schedule 11 of the National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, 1991 (Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1991); or - is a residue from the management of waste listed in Schedule 11 and Schedule 12; or - originates from the sources listed Schedule 12 of the National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, 1991 (Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1991) JHEPLC should have a copy of this definition at the site for reference of site staff. Hospital waste: There is a wide variety of biomedical waste generated within the clinic and hospital, comprising general waste (referred to above ad refuse), pathological waste, infectious waste, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste and sharps. Such materials require treatment prior to disposal to prevent the spread of infectious disease. b) Operation Wastes generated during the operational phase of the project will be the same or very similar to those already discussed in sub-chapter 11.2 et seq. A Waste Management Plan during operations has been developed and is included at Appendix D. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # 11.3 Liquid Waste The type, control and management of liquid waste have been discussed in the section covering water quality above. # 11.4 Conclusions and Recommendations Current site conditions indicate that JHPLC’s waste management procedures are largely adequate for the management of waste generated at the site. Activities necessary to mitigate environmental impacts during dam operation are: - collection and suitable disposal of office waste and site refuse; and - provision of sewage treatment facilities for domestic sewage produced at the site. The incineration of medical waste using appropriate equipment (in order to minimise environmental impact) is also recommended. In addition, a disused waste treatment plant and incinerator is located within the premises – this facility should be rehabilitated, as it still seems to accept sewage from the plant but is not in good working order. A summary plan for construction phase waste management is included above, and in the attached waste management protocol. A disused waste treatment plant and incinerator is located within the premises. The facility should be rehabilitated, as it still seems to accept sewage from the plant but is not in good working order. We understand that all waste disposal activities are contracted out according to a directive from FME that they should procure registered contractors for these activities. Consequently there are no equipment requirements. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] 12. HEALTH AND SAFETY 12.1 Social and Environmental Audit Report (2006) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 141-142 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested at the CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The failure of workers to respect safety measures in the workshops and units(No.28).The insufficiency of material and human resources at the health and safety department as well as a dysfunction which reduces its efficiency(No.42). | Measure4.3:To equip all workers out of safety equipment and to require the obligatory wearing of them in the work premises.Measure4.22:To develop a provisional document for the management of health and safety.This document should deal with the mission of the department,its objectives in the short,medium and long run as well as all the procedures and activities related to health and safety.It shall include also the annual work assessment.Measure4.25:To ensure that the fire protection equipment in place and to make an audit of the powerhouse by an Expert in the industrial safety.The expert should determine the required equipment as well as the place of each part of the equipment.Measure4.27:To create and operate a committee of workers in charge of health and safety at work which shall be steered by the department of safety and focal points from each division of the company.This committee will be, among others,in charge of enforcing the measures on the wearing of safety equipment.Measure4.32:To organise training sessions for workers on health and safety at work.Measure4.33:To organise campaign of sensitisation for workers on safety using different means.In addition to the postings,theoretical courses and documentation,video film on accidents for instance can be shown. | There is no comprehensive health and safety management plan.H health and safety posters have been prepared and posted at important places.ERSU committee was formed as an institutional measure to look into H&S issue as a part of general Environmental and Social aspects.Some employees received H&S training as part of this assignment.The current situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | * * * # 12.2 Our Approach The current situation regarding the management of Occupational Health & Safety by JHEPLC has been evaluated against OHSAS 18001:2007. This standard utilises the ‘process approach’, which is common to other existing International Operational Standards (ISOs) and business management systems, of ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ (PDCA), which can be applied to any process. As a repetitive process to check the next action, a simple 4-step method to test information before making a major decision is given: Plan – Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver the results in accordance with the organisation’s OH&S Policy Do – Carry out or implement your plan by performing the steps Check – Check the results; measure and monitor against policy, objectives, legal and other requirements and report the results Act – Act on the decisions based on those results and continually improve performance # 12.3 Policy, Organisation and Responsibilities JHEPLC has a Health & Safety Policy which was signed by the Managing Director of the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) in 2001. Though not comprehensive, it covers the basic H & S requirements. Some of the inadequacies of this policy compared to OHSAS 18001:2007) are: - It is generic. Corporate policies are required to be specific to the organisation or in the case of a very big organisation, with several facilities, to the specific facility in question. - No date for review is indicated and it has not been reviewed for ten years. The Managing Director that signed it has not been with the organisation for several years. Furthermore, for the policy to be effective, it has to be accessible and known to all staff. This is not the case. The only copies available are in the care of the Safety Officer and are not communicated to the other workers. Unlike at KHEPLC there appears to be a more identifiable hierarchy of responsibility for safety. Though not formalised as a structure, the SO reports to the PM who in turn reports to the AGM (O). The SO was recently appointed and is not trained or in possession of safety qualifications. He is in the process of getting certified by the Nigeria Institute of Safety Professionals (NISP). # 12.4 Existing Safety Equipment The fighting preparedness of the JHEPLC is evident in the new fire truck and fire tender on site (See photos below). This complements the existence of extensive fire detection and fighting system in all high risk environments on the facility. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 12.1: New Fire Engine at Jebba** **Photo 12.2: Fire Tender Equipment** However there are dangerous exposed wires found at few places (see photo 12.3), which needs to be tidied up for better safety of personnel working in the powerhouse and also to avoid fire hazard. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Photo 12.3: Exposed Wiring** # 12.5 Existing Safety Procedures The JHEPLC has a Handbook on Unified Standard Safety Code which was published in September, 1992. This is however very outdated and it has not been reviewed in line with operational changes and procedures. Staff are unaware of its existence. There are no job specific safety procedures and contractors are not vetted for safety compliance with the existing Handbook. A situation where the SO is not involved in assessing contractors' qualifications as far as safety is concerned should be discouraged. Unlike KHEPLC however, JHEPLC does not have a documented Emergency Response Procedure. # 12.6 Risk Control The Unified Standard Safety Code published by NEPA and operated by the facility provides some risk control measures but is inadequate for a facility like Jebba HEP power plant. No risk assessments are carried out for tasks hence there is no documented RA which would show risk ratings prior to, and following risk moderation or mitigation. There are consequently, no Safety Method Statements (SMS) available to guide new workers in carrying out tasks. There is a fairly decent, albeit informal, risk control mechanism in place at the facility. However, since the basis of the OHSAS 18001:2007 rests on documentation, there is a need for proper standardisation of risk control measures and procedures. # 12.7 Existing Training and Safety Records There is no budget allocated for safety training for the year. The SO, who actually assumed the position in 2010, attended a week-long orientation course organised in Abuja but has _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] received no other training since. There is no record that any training in safety has ever been carried out since the facility was commissioned. The absence of a training programme also extends to the fire fighting department. There are few safety records. The facility however has records of the monthly safety committee meetings. Also seen were copies of the monthly safety reports submitted to the NERC. There appear to be no other records beyond these. 12.8 Communications and Inspections The facility deserves commendation for efforts made towards communicating Health & Safety advice to workers through the use of posters. Various posters displaying different safety messages can be seen all over the facility. Worthy of note are the anti HIV/AIDS enlightenment messages strategically placed throughout the facility. The effort made to educate the workers, through posters, on fire and fire safety is also noted. The limitations of these efforts are that posters are a reminder medium. More needs to be done in communicating with workers on safety issues. While safety committee meetings are held, there is no evidence that decisions reached are actioned and that the actions taken communicated to workers. Inspections are carried out daily and records kept. This is quite commendable and should be maintained. 12.9 Health As with all government agencies, pre-employment medical tests are carried out on all employees. However, no periodic surveillance is carried out on staff. The facility also operates a no smoking policy and alcohol and drug use are forbidden although no tests are carried out to determine if this is the case. Quite commendable is the fact that the JHEPLC is constructing more comfortable airconditioned cubicles for its staff who work on the generator floor. This will help reduce the ergonomic issues being faced by the workers. Housekeeping in JHEPLC could almost be described as excellent and should be maintained. 12.10 Other Issues * * * FURTHER WORK should be allowed from the top of the generators until the protective barriers are put in place. Risk Assessments should be carried out to determine control measures and work specific safety needs. # 12.11 Proposals for Change ## 12.11.1 Occupational Health and Safety The success of any Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) depends upon commitment from all levels, and especially from Senior Management. It is strongly recommended that senior management, following findings that reflect lack of knowledge and understanding of occupational Health & Safety, undertake an induction on safety. This could include a workshop and discussion forum which would take in the requirements of OHSAS18001:2007 as well as relevant legislation particularly the Factories Act and the proposed OH&S Bill 2008. This will help drive the behavioural change that is required from the top. Further to the above, it is recommended that management reviews the current organisation and considers the development of a bespoke OH&S structure within each organisation and allocates suitable and sufficient resources to enable implementation of any OH&S Management System decided upon. The Health and Safety Management System framework (Appendix C) should be adopted through initial guidance and subsequent independent application, develop specific systems which reflect the full extent of operations and activities, and comply with current and forthcoming legislation. Arrangements should be made for JHEPLC to obtain a multi-user licence for the use and distribution of OHSAS 18001:2007 and its associated documents, namely: OHSAS 18002:2008 – Guidelines for the implementation of OHSAS 18001:2007 OHSAS 18004:2008 – Guide to achieving effective occupational health and safety performance ... in order to instigate development of the systems approach to OH&S. JHEPLC should appoint a suitably competent OH&S Officer (or properly train and certify those in place), with responsibility for reporting on all OH&S matters to the plant’s Chief Executive. ## 12.11.2 Audits Audits should be undertaken, internally and externally, in order to measure the development and process of continual improvement required by the Standard and legislation. External Low Level Audits should be undertaken three months after the workshop presentation to ensure that the plants are staying on track with the requirements of the Standard and to provide further guidance where required or requested. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] An External Full Audit should be undertaken six months following the Workshop to measure conformity and development. And a further External Full Audit should be undertaken twelve months following the Workshop to measure conformity and improvement. Thereafter, internal auditing should be undertaken three monthly for a further year in order to facilitate development and familiarity with the policy and procedures of the organisation and the audit process. In all audits, the audit team should involve a representative of JHEPLC in order to participate and gain experience in the audit process. Thereafter, it is recommended that internal audits be undertaken annually, to be no more than three months and no less than six months before the external Annual Audit. 12.11.3 Equipment Requirements and Additional Work Arising out of this study the following equipment should be procured under the WRD-SEM Project. In addition a budget (Table 12.1) is proposed for making KHELPC compliant with the identified standards and undertaking audits over the first two years. Table 12.1: Health and Safety Requirements for Jebba HEP | S/N | ITEM | BUDGET(US $) | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Ambulance | 75000 | | 2 | Atmospheric testing meters for confined space work x 2 | 5000 | | 3 | Other PPE- hard hats, coveralls, Gloves, safety shoes, goggles, ear protection, etc+ | 10000 | | 4 | Guardrails for generators | 20000 | | 5 | OHSAS compliance and establishment of an audit system | 10000 | | | Total | 120000 | 12.11.4 Short-Term Training Three short-term courses were delivered during August 2010. The fundamental principle of risk control, which forms the bedrock of OH&S is the proper assessment of risks and the recommendation of proper control measures; this is an essential starting point for senior managers. A course on Working Safely in Confined Spaces will be run on the third training day. Outlines of these courses are given in Appendix F. * * * 13. COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND MANAGEMENT 13.1 Social and Environmental Audit Report (2006) Observations and Present Situation | Audit Result(Page 141-142 of 2006 Report) | EMP suggested by CIMA Audit Report | Present Situation(2010) | | --- | --- | --- | | The destruction of vegetation around the reservoir for domestic needs leading to a degeneration of forest from one year to the other (No.31) | | | | The under-rating of potentials for development of socio-economic activities around the reservoir(recessional cropping,fishing,animal rearing,etc.) No.38). | | | | The persons displaced during the construction still have bitterness vis-à-vis the project despite the passage of time(No.47). | Measure4.11:To finance income generating supportive actions around and upstream of the dam(irrigated dry-season crops:market gardening crops,rice and fishing for example). | | | Measure4.12:To develop a basic infrastructural program(roads,water,electricity,etc.)for the populations of the dam region in order to enhance the living conditions in the villages. | | | | This program must be supported by a community development program. | | | | Measure4.13:To develop and execute sub-projects for vegetation regeneration. | | | | Measure4.14:To pull out the populations from the area of flood evacuation and develop,in consultation with the populations upstream of the river,a land exploitation scheme. | The current social situation is elaborated further in the forthcoming sub-sections with specific mitigation measures. | | Social investigations comprised visits to some four villages at each dam but there was no primary data collection of socio-economic information as agreed early on in the study. Methodology * * * \[Image: Image859\] Small group discussions and interviews were conducted with the village chiefs and other prominent villagers. The discussions covered their livelihoods, problems due to dam operation, flood management issues, flood warning communication, relationships with the dam management and local government, infrastructure development, public health issues and environmental issues (See Appendix E). The outcome of the rapid assessments are presented in the following sections and we used the outcome to prepare a mitigation plan to improve the relationship between the communities and the dam management. For example we suggested improved grievance mechanisms and flood warning communication. Since the social study requires a detailed survey, the development of a social monitoring system has not been developed and thus it is included in the procurement plan (service contract procurement package 2). Prior to the implementation of the detailed survey a further rapid social assessment will be carried out to strengthen the social aspects of the ESMP. The outputs from the assessment will be contained in an addendum to the ESMP. 13.2 Current Situation 13.2.1 History since Construction The effect of resettlement after the construction of Jebba Dam on the community is still vivid in the local memories (Gbajibu and Bukka villages). The most common problems in those villages are the same as for the Kainji villages – no water supply, poor access roads, no alternative livelihood and costly electricity. They claimed to have been earlier promised, free of charge by JHEPLC, a supply at the time of resettlement. * * * The occupations and needs of the villages visited are given in the table below. | S/No | COMMUNITIES & LOCATION | TRADITIONAL VOCATION | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Gungu Downstream Jebba | Fishing | | 2 | Ipata Downstream Jebba | Fishing | | 3 | Bukka Upstream Jebba(See Photo 13.1) | Fishing | | 4 | Gbajibu Upstream Jebba(See Photo 13.2) | Fishing | | L | PRESENT VOCATION | MAJOR NEEDED | | --- | --- | --- | | | Subsistence Farming (sparing) & reduced fishing | Potable Water Employment Erosion Control Flood Control | | | Subsistence Farming (sparing) & reduced fishing | Flood Control Erosion Control Employment | | | Subsistence Farming (sparing) & reduced fishing | Employment Free Electricity Supply Police Station Potable Water Health Facility Schools Access Road | | | Subsistence Farming (sparing) & Reduced fishing | Schools & teachers, Good access roads, Potable Water Housing Reduction in electricity bill tariffs Employment Skill acquisition centres Acquisition of modern fishing techniques. | Photo 13.1: Bukka Village Group Discussion with Members * * * **Photo 13.2: Gabjibu Village Group Discussion with Members** Jebba Dam is located in both Niger and Kwara states. However since Gungu village (the island) is located in Niger state, there is a perception in Gungu that the Jebba power house belongs to them, which led to a conflict between North and South Jebba. The poor public relations created restlessness among the close communities and they barricaded the power house for two days in August 2008. Immediately after this incident JHEPLC constituted a ‘Technical Committee of Close Communities for Jebba Dam Management’ to discuss community issues on a quarterly basis. This action calmed the communities. The downstream communities, including the Bacita Sugar Company, reported a flooding problem. Bele on the bank of the Niger and adjacent to Bacita sugar plantations was washed away during the 1998 flood. The villagers still live in nearly 200 ha of Bacita sugar plantations area illegally. Flood management is important for all the downstream communities. # 13.3 Mitigation ## 13.3.1 Public Consultation An initial stakeholder forum was conducted at the KHEPLC’s conference hall on 28th January 2009. The forum was attended by World Bank representatives, NBA staff, representatives from FMAWR, FME, project staff of PHCN and KHEPLC, Borgu Emirate Council representative, Borgu Local Government, Federation of Borgu Youth, representatives from Nassarawa, Anfani, Awuru, Fakun and New Bussa villages and the press. The main aim of the stakeholder forum was to introduce the WB Project to stakeholders including the close communities and to create a forum to discuss the social issues of all the close communities. Public Consultation, in line with WB OP4.10, was announced during the meeting, to be part of the current study, and to include discussion of the Environmental and _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * Social Management Plan (ESMP). The same stakeholders were invited and additionally NGOs such as CAPP, CDC and HYPPADEC. The Public consultation took place on 10th August 2010 and is reported in Appendix L. ## 13.3.2 Floodplain Mapping The South Jebba villagers have shown the flood affected areas including the mark up to which the water level rise during the flood (see photo below). **Photo 13.3: Highest Flood Mark at Ipata Village** The floodplain mapping both upstream and downstream and demarcation of floodplain in the ground will help the communities to restrict the activities and thus avoid losses during flooding. The implementation of improved flood warning system will further reduce the losses during flooding. ## 13.3.3 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) needs to be highlighted by JHEPLC. CSR is part of the ToR of the proposed ESU. Currently JHEPLC provide twelve boreholes for the neighbouring communities as part of corporate social responsibility. The locations are: - 5 - Jebba South - 2 - Gungu - 2 - Kara - 1 - Gana - 1 - Mazhi - 1 – Life camp _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * CSR activities are discussed in the quarterly Technical Committee. Awareness programmes should be conducted for all the communities on various issues as follows: - Awareness on effective fishing techniques. Partial financial support may be provided. - Awareness on alternative livelihood options. Participate at minor level in the Federal, State and Local Government sponsored infrastructural development, rural development, poverty alleviation and micro-credit projects. - Awareness on the public health issues. Distributing leaflets on public health issues. - Awareness on the benefit of dam, powerhouse and its related activities Effective implementation of CSR activities depends on the formation of an ESU and the employment of a social scientist. ## 13.3.4 Grievance Mechanism There is a need to institute a strong grievance mechanism within the enhanced communication system. This would be achieved by developing a flow of communication as follows: - A free flow of communication should be developed between JHEPLC and all stakeholders, by maintaining interactive links. This should include regular interactive forums, sensitisation programmes, etc., which should be well publicised in order to obtain maximum participation. - The interactive forums should not be less than monthly, and frequency may be increased as the need arises. At these forums, it is expected that representatives of all stakeholders would be in attendance, to discuss issues relating to the community and activities of JHEPLC. - Similarly, JHEPLC should ensure the installation of an effective early flood warning communication system and the facilitation of necessary training programmes for relevant officers in the organisation. - There should be transparency and interactive communication between all the organisations involved. - The ESU should operate in close liaison with the communities and their representatives. ESU personnel should be equipped to understand community needs, and be able to communicate the same to JHEPLC top management for appropriate decision making. - JHEPLC should develop a strategy to project the advantages of the dams eg. irrigation, tourism, etc., and should communicate same to the riparian communities and other stakeholders. - HYPPADEC should play a facilitative role in grievance reporting, when the Bill establishing it, is signed into law. The flow chart of the recommended grievance mechanism is given in Fig 13.1 below. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * **Fig 13.1: Flow Chart of the Recommended Grievance Mechanism** _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Section 3 Jebba Dam_ _Final Report_ * * * # SECTION 4: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR KAINJI # AND JEBBA POWER PLANTS _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * # 14\. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Regular operation and maintenance mitigation activities, for effective management of hydropower and allied facilities, have been covered under each of the headings as mitigation measures in the Chapters above. We specifically highlight below some of the activities that are needed. ## 14.1 Hydrology 1. Development of an hydrological modelling and flood warning system Purpose: - To assess the flow available for optimal generation of power at Kainji and Jebba dams. - To assess the sedimentation of the reservoir s. - To provide early flood warning for dams opera tions. - To prepare a flood warning system to the upstream and downstream riverside communities. Objectives: - Develop an interactive hydrological model and a decision support system to predict the inflow into the Kainji and Jebba reservoirs considering the existing and proposed upstream dams and their purpose s and any climate change impacts. - Prepare a revised water level- capacity relationship for both the lakes. - Prepare floodplain mapping and identify the area affected by floods at various discharge levels in the river . - Prepare a flood warning system. Specific Objectives: - Collect all the e•isting hydrological data and model for the study. - Develop a suitable hydr ological model to suit for the existing and proposed dams. Study should cover the whole Niger basi n and the impact on he downstream effect in the Delta due to changes in the flow regime should be studied. - Conduct a bathymetric survey of the e•isting reservoirs to obtain the sediment ation pattern and to provide the water level-capacity relationship of b oth the lakes. - Sediment load sampling is implemented in the Niger River at Jidere Boddng station and the main tributaries to the Kainji lake below this station and into the Jebba _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ reservoir. - Install a telemetry system at appropriate places, especially to assess the White Flood. - Interlink the model with the hydrometric stations to predict the flows. - Conduct a dam break analysis. - Revise the dam operating rules and flood rule curves based on the hydrological model. - Develop flood plain mapping using satellite imageries or aerial photos. - Interlink the model with the appropriate GIS system to predict flooded areas. - Demarcate the flood plain areas on the ground from the head of Lake Kainji to the point where the Kaduna joins with the Niger. The rehabilitation or resettlement of the people living within the floodplain should be dealt separately by the GoN and it is not part of this assignment. - Install a flood warning system (Koro and Kwara radio booster stations) by working with the Niger and Kwara States and concerned Local Governments. - Develop a daily and emergency broadcasting system for both KHEPLC and JHEPLC. - Preparing the Dam Safety Plans as per the guidelines provided and Conduct Potential Failure Mode Analysis (PFMA) Workshop for Kainji and Jebba Dam operators as per the US-FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) guidelines. - Updating Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) including identification of safe locations for the lakeside and riverside communities during flooding beyond the maximum flood level. - Train the appropriate staff (hydrology and ESU units) on hydrological monitoring, hydrological modelling, dam operating rules, flood warning system and Dam Safety Plans. Methodology _Hydrological modelling and decision support system: Link the available Niger-HYCOS data_ collection system to forecast the flow into Kainji dam and similarly to forecast the flow into Jebba dam. The model must be a real time decision support model to take decisions based on the inflow and discharges. The development of model is expected to cost approximately US$450,000. _Bathymetry Survey: The survey using Hummingbird 385 Cl depthfinder with internal antenna_ (temporary mount attached to base of boat) would be cheaper at US$ 100,000 when compared to use of Echosounder (HydroBat Multibeam Sonar Sensor) which would cost around US$ 375,000. However the purchase of Echosounder (costs US$220,000 including training) and conducting the survey by PHCN themselves is an option. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * _Telemetry System: The telemetry system is required for the inflow measurement from the_ tributaries, which is not covered under Niger-HYCOS project. The cost provision has been made for establishing two stations one on the major tributary on the u/s of Kainji dam and below the Jidere Bode NBA gauging site and the second one on the main tributary on the upstream of Jebba dam and below Kainji dam. The cost estimation is US$ 45,000. _Floodplain mapping: The floodplain mapping is required from the headwaters of Lake Kainji_ to the confluence of Kaduna and Niger rivers. Conducting a LiDAR survey using Fugro Pelagas airborne survey will cost around US$ 1.5 million, hence we suggest an acquisition of Worldview or GeoEye stereo images for preparation of digital elevation model (DEM) with an horizontal resolution of 2m and vertical resolution of approximately 0.5-2.0m. The cost estimation is US$450,000 _Flood warning communication: The daily broadcasting of water level and discharges in the_ river and increased frequency of announcement during flood times would be sufficient to issue the flood warning to the community. The only hindrance at the moment is the capacity of Koro and Kwara radio coverage. - Provision and enhancement of Radio Booster Station – MOD. 10B HARRIS upgrade from 2.5 kHZ to 6 kHZ. This would cover 150km radius, while the existing coverage is only 20 km radius. This costs approximately US$21,000 per site, which can be provided by the project. This proposal should be discussed with the respective Governments with respect to implementation since actions will need to be taken through Kwara and Koro radios, which are State Government run. - Regular Radio and Television programs to be conducted on flood forecast and water level situation report. This costs approximately Naira 10,000 per day for five minutes, which can be taken up through PHCN budget. Other works: It includes the sediment load sampling, demarcation of floodplain areas in the ground, EPP preparation, revising the dam operating rules, training, etc. Implementation period: 2.0 years (from Jul 2011 to Jun 2013) Contract Procedure: This activity can be obtained through a service contract # 14.2 Catchment Management The catchment degradation assessment, proposed below, should be undertaken after the assessment of sedimentation in the reservoir. The bathymetric survey will provide an idea of the locations of sediment deposition and its origin. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * 2 Catchment Management Purpose: • To assess the catchment degradation and erosion status and • To reduce the sedimentation of the lakes.

Purpose: • Dam safety Objectives: • Identify the seepage path to Drain AD 53 and beyond to the spring in the downstream area by a reputable procedure such as willowstick 7 Worksh op Facilities at Jebba | Purpose: | | --- | | For efficient and safe operations in vehicle workshop | | Objectives: | | An aged 30 tonne crane and forklift requires replacement before they become a risk | • Design remedial works to this seepage/leak and carry them out The PC&M (Protection Controls and Metering) office and worksh op requires improvement and additional suitable equipment if the staff are to respon d to the increasing age of the controls and alarms. We understand that the PC&M maintenance staff have identified additional equipment they require to continue their work a nd we recommend that this is provided under WRD- SEM. We await a list from PHCN to include in the report. Implementation period: This proposal is underway of failing to operate in an emergency, when their operation is often critical. - These workshops need a mobile capacity to respond to breakdowns for which we recommend a four by four twin cab vehicle with towing capability and relevant light tools including an air pump. Implementation period: 4 months (from Jul 2011 to Oct 2011) Contract Procedure: This activity can be obtained through a supply contract # 14.4 Water Quality ## 14.4.1 Management A Quality Management System for water quality monitoring should be introduced as follows: - The system for water quality monitoring should be fully documented in a quality manual. - A person with overall responsibility for monitoring should be identified along with the persons responsible for technical aspects of the monitoring process. - This scheme should be documented in an organisational chart with defined lines of responsibility. - A clear document control system must be in place, to ensure that only the latest versions of documents and procedures for water quality monitoring are in use. - All documents and amendments to documents must be authorised. - Records must be kept to provide an auditable trail from definition of sampling programme to results reporting. ## 14.4.2 Sampling Design and Process The sampling schedule should be documented in advance of an assessment period, at frequencies stipulated by the Ministry of Environment. The current procedure with monthly monitoring is considered adequate for water quality management. The use of a third party contractor for some or all aspects of sampling and analysis is acceptable. Technical quality of the analytical laboratory is the responsibility of the laboratory themselves, but can be demonstrated by (for example) ISO 17025, an international standard that specifies the general requirements for laboratories to demonstrate their technical competence. Discharge sample points should be at a location that ensures that the sample is truly representative of the discharge – it should be sufficiently far downstream of the inflow that mixing is complete. The sampling point locations should be agreed, documented and clearly and permanently labelled. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * Samples should include one taken in an area of high turbulence and good mixing, usually at the centre of the discharge, in order to prevent the inclusion of solid materials. Samples in channels should also be collected away from the sides and bottom of the channel to avoid contamination of the sample with sediment and biological growths. For all samples, sufficient depth of water to submerge the sampling container without disturbing the bed should be ensured, unless sediment samples are required. There should also be sufficient clearance over the side of the bank or structure when suspending the container, to avoid dislodging potentially contaminating material When sampling from chambers such as manholes, it is necessary to ensure that disturbance of deposits from the cover when the cover is lifted and to prevent contamination of the sample from the chamber walls and any bottom deposits. Sampling staff should be aware that manholes and similar confined spaces can be dangerous and must not be entered unless in accordance with a safe system of work and after appropriate training. If preservation of samples by refrigeration is required (based on the analytical requirements), transportation and subsequent storage of samples, including retention time in an automatic sampling device, the sample storage environment should maintain a temperature of 5±3°C. This can be maintained using ice packs, refrigerators or other appropriate methods. The organisation carrying out sampling should have appropriate procedures for demonstrating that this has been maintained. Samples should be transported in cleaned and disinfected, sealed containers, with examination of the samples undertaken as soon as possible after collection. Every attempt should be made to start the examination within 24 hours of sample collection. Where logistics do not allow this, samples may be examined up to 48 hours after collection provided they are kept cool (1-5°C) and in the dark. Sample containers should be appropriate for the determinant and analytical system being employed, as supplied by the analysing laboratory. Sample containers should not be rinsed with sample before filling unless specified in the sampling procedures-preservatives are often added to sample containers before they are dispatched from the laboratory, and these containers should not be rinsed. Sampling personnel must take note of laboratory requirements regarding the filling of sample containers, for example some tests will require no air space be left after filling to stop loss of volatile components, while others need space left in the bottle to allow addition of extraction solvents when reaching the laboratory, since failure to carry out laboratory instructions on the use of sample bottles may lead to invalid analytical results. This will prevent rejection of improperly presented samples. Operators should fully document the procedures used in sampling, and should document: (a) the precise location of the discharge, spot sampling point and automatic sampler installation as appropriate; (b) the sampling process; (c) the conditions of storage and transport of samples; (d) the types of bottles or containers and their closures; (e) the cleaning procedure for each type of bottle, container and closure; (f) details of any sample preservation measures; _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * (g) calibration and maintenance of automatic samplers, timers and thermometers etc; (h) provision of records and information, such as information on the training of those who take the samples or the automatic sampler installation and testing record; (i) actions to be taken in the event of automatic sampler failure; and (j) quality assurance procedures for sampling activities. These procedures should be part of the quality management system and should be available to all staff that undertake sampling. The performance of field measurements should be verified for each batch of samples taken. Control samples should be taken and analysed with the batch of samples they are associated with and may include: - blank samples; - spiked samples; - duplicate samples; and - reference materials/samples. ## 14.4.3 Target Areas for Monitoring PHCN should undertake the following: - Continue the monthly monitoring regime currently undertaken for waters; - Include the assessment of bacteriological parameters within the analytical regime – specifically the assessment of total coliforms, faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci; - Incorporate a comparison of water quality standards for aquatic life within the current monitoring programme, including additional analytical parameters; Water sampling reporting should also adhere to the following protocols: - A detailed description of sampling depths, time of sampling, sampling vessels used and the treatment of all samples prior to delivery to the analytical laboratory; and - A comprehensive chain of custody reporting regime showing treatment of samples following delivery to the analytical laboratory. The management of sewage effluent and workroom drainage should be included in a waste management review. There is no budget provided for the water quality component as the monitoring is going on now. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * # 14.5 Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecology 8 Measures Through NIFFR NIFFR should be involved in mitigation measures for declining fish production. This component can be taken up as part of WRD-SEM project. The KHEPLC and JHEPLC should take care of management of aquatic weed infestation with their own funds. Purpose: - To understand why the fish production is declining and taking measures to stabilise the fish production. - To create awareness among the fishermen about the efficient fishing and to remove the perception tha t construction of dam hampered the fish production - To reduce the aquatic weed infestation - To create awareness among the close communities on alternative livelihood options Objectives: - Conduct a fresh study on•isting aquatic weed infestation in both Ka inji and Jebba lakes - Study socio- environmental factors that affect the fish production - Carry out mechanical and biological water weed control measures - Conduct training to fishing communities to enhance the efficiency of fish production - Develop a system for financing the fishing communities for the purchase of right kind of gearing net. - Prepare alternative livelihood options and impart training to the communities Specific Objectives: - Prepare a weed infestation map of Kainji and Jebba lakes - Prepare a plan an d implement the mechanical and biological water weed control - Conduct a survey on•isting fish production and find out the causes for declining fish production - Carry out an awareness campaign in the villages surrounding both Kainji and Jebba lakes about the efficient way of fish production - Prepare alternative livelihood options for the communities and implementation modalities - E•plore financing opportunities for the fishing communities for the purchase of right kind _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] of gearing net and boat. • Explore financing opportunities for the communities to take up an alternative livelihood options • Create awareness campaign or training programme to selected communities on alternative livelihood options and available financing opportunities. Contract Procedure: NIFFR should be involved in this activity but the procedure has to be finalised between PHCN and NIFFR. 14.6 Public Health 9 Dam Public Health Awareness Programmes The hospital upgrade can be undertaken as part of the PHCN/Project budget. However we suggest that public health awareness programmes could be taken up under the Project. The awareness programmes can be taken up with the help of NGOs. The proposal is as follows. Purpose: • To reduce the general water borne diseases by creating awareness about healthy pract ices • To reduce the spread of both water related and communicable diseases Objectives: • To conduct a rapid epidemiological waterborne diseases survey in Kainji and Jebba dam areas to determine the seriousness of the waterborne diseases and treatment of infected people • Regular awareness programmes about waterborne and communicable diseases are to be conducted for both the staff and the communities • Conduct regular med ical camps in the villages to support the rural communities • Carry out a rapid epidemiological waterborne diseases survey in Kainji and Jebba dam areas to determine the seriousness of the waterborne diseases and treatment of infected people Specific Objectives: • Conduct regular awareness campaigns to the staff Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan Final Report * * * - Conduct pre and post awareness and medical check-up for the contract staff engaged in rehabilitation works Contract Procedure: Either the work can be taken up through the existing medical facilities at Kainji and Jebba or through a service contract with NGOs. # 14.7 Community Development and Social Survey The ESU should facilitate the LGAs and HYPPADEC, once established, to ensure that the close communities are receiving development activities such as roads, electricity supply, water supply, sanitation, school, health centres and community centres. Wherever it is feasible some of the activities can be undertaken directly after it is discussed in the Technical Committee of the Closed Communities. Budget provision is not made for this activity as it is outside the purview of the WRD-SEM projects. The PHCN, both at Kainji and Jebba, has to ensure that the boundaries of their estate within township should be demarcated and fenced. This would reduce the tension between the community and the PHCN in the long run. This activity should be undertaken under PHCN’s annual budget as it is outside the scope of the WRD-SEM project. However we suggested a project to identify an alternative livelihood options for the close communities (see sub-chapter 14.5 above). ## 10 Social Survey An important out come of the August 2010 stakeholder forum at both Jebba and Kainji was the need for a thorough understanding of the communities affected by the dam. It is understood that up to 200 communities may have been affected by the construction of either one of the dams and that the needs of only a very small minority, mainly in the immediate vicinity of the dams, have been voiced or responded to in anyway by KHEPLC or JHEPLC. Consequently we have included proposals for a social survey in the ESMP to provide a baseline both for future CSR activities and also to provide a focus for the new ESUs socially based work programme as follows: Purpose: - To provide baseline information on up toMMommunities which have been affected by the Kainji-Jebba projects over the last 4Mears. - To provide information for the proposed ESU and PHCN to plan community interventions under either the ESMP or CSR. Objectives: - It is believed that the large majority of the affected communities are not reached by any current CSR activities and socio- economic conditions are unknown. The baseline survey will rectify this. - The socio- economic survey will compliment flo od plain mapping in the target area from the head of Lake Kainji to Pategi below Jebba. - The survey will provide information on population status, socio- economic activities, social _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ conflicts, public health and other factors. - The survey will also feed into other areas of support proposed under the EMP notably fisheries and public health. - The survey should include a Rapid Epidemiological Waterborne Diseases Survey to be carried out in the Kainji and Jebba areas to determine the seriousness of waterborne diseases and to recommend treatment of infected people and determination of the next steps; - The survey should be participatory in nature using participatory techniques to elucidate village resources, communications, problem ranking etc. - The survey will be gender sensitive and particularly focus on the need for women’s empowerment. - Provide a guide for livelihood options and a focus for PHCN CSR actions and interventions. Execution suggestion - The survey will require a team of approximately six social facilitators (social science graduates with 5 years experience) working under the immediate direction of an experienced socio-economist / sociologist who might be a new member of the ESU. - The team should be lead by an independent environmentalist / social scientist. - Duration approximately ten months to be conducted following availability of mapping. - Field resources required boat and 3 motorbikes. - Possibly executed in conjunction with NIFFR. (See procurement document for more details) # 14.8 Waste Management 11 Waste Management Kainji Discussions with management indicate that all solid waste disposal activities are contracted out according to a directive from FME that they should procure registered contractors for these activities. Consequently there are no equipment requirements. However the following facilities are suggested for waste management at Kainji Dam site. Purpose: - Efficient waste management at the Kainji dam site Objectives: - the provision of lidded bins for office and site use; - pipe sealing materials for mach inery; - provision of containment/barrier surfaces (such as concrete slabs or pallets) in _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Environmental Management Plan_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] \| the‘Stores’area to prevent incidental loss of oils to surrounding ground; and • provision of sewage treatment facilities for site based domestic sewage. | • The incineration of medical waste using appropriate equipment(in order to minimise environmental impact). | | --- | | Implementation period:4 months(from Mar 2011 to Jun 2011) | | Contract Procedure:This activity can be obtained through a supply contract | 12 Waste Management Jebba Disused waste treatment plant and incinerator is located within JHEPLC premises – this facility should be rehabilitated, as it still seems to accept sewage from the plant but is not in good working order. It is expected to cost around US$ 150,000 to upgrade the waste treatment plant and the incinerator. 14.9 Health and Safety The following health and safety equipment should be procured under the WRD-SEM Project. In addition a budget is proposed for making KHE PLC compliant with the identified standards and undertaking audits over the first two years. 13 Health and Safety Kainji including 14 Fire Engine | S/N | ITEM | BUDGET(US$) | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Complete automated fire detection and suppression system including all accessories to be installed in the entire facility.

The ERSU existing in PMU is the same as what we suggest here but it needs to be reoriented as suggested below. This HQ unit shall have a similar set-up (as shown below) and facilities like dam ESUs. The HQ ESU managers shall monitor the dam units and report to the management on regular basis. Conduct bi-annual meetings with all the dam units to share the experiences and to update their knowledge on the developments in their area of operation. PLCs require external support to apply and obtain EMS 14001 certification. The process may take two years and so we suggest an engagement of an EMS expert through a service contract to implement the proposals in Appendix A to this report. The input should be for The proposed institutional arrangement can be revised once the decision on individual dam hydropower management is made. Should individual dam hydropower management be given autonomy or privatised, the HQ ESU component should be diluted. suggest an engagement of an EMS expert through a service contract to implement the proposals in Appendix A to this report. The input should be for approximately two months, visiting PHCN quarterly, to monitor progress and to provide guidance for EMS 14001 certification. This is expected to cost around US$ 45,000. 14.11 EMS 14001 * * * Table 14.1 provides a summary of the ESMP mitigation plan discussed above. A number of areas will require further input to finalise the precise requirements but we anticipate that the task objectives can be broadly attained within the budget provided. Some prioritisation of expenditures is required by PHCN to meet overall WRD-SEM project budget constraints. Table 14.1 Summary of Mitigation Plan | Sl.

The purpose of the Gap Analysis was to provide the necessary information upon which an Environmental Management System (EMS) can be devised. This document presents the findings of the Gap Analysis; together with recommendations for advancing management arrangements to meet ISO14001 requirements, and to achieve operational environmental control and environmental performance improvement. Part 1 provides a detailed analysis against each clause of the standard (note that we have used the most current version of the standard, ISO14001:2004), current status and actions necessary to achieve compliance with each one. Part 2 presents a Gantt chart and management programme for establishing an EMS at Kainji and Jebba Hydroelectric projects over a 24 month period. Both Parts 1 and 2 of the report form the foundation from which PHCN will develop and implement its EMS. The requirements for developing the EMS will also be covered during a series of forthcoming management workshops scheduled for delivery to PHCN in September 2010. To illustrate how we propose to cover each element in the training, we have stated the Workshop and Task Number so that the user can cross reference this document with the training that they receive in September 2010.

described in the following chapter, it is the view of the project team that there is no apparent justifiable reason why the project should not gain approval by the CDM Executive Board under the CDM process. This would permit the project to generate Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) that can be traded on the carbon markets. We have reviewed the project for its status and the current level of compliance with UNFCCC requirements. We have set out a series of clear recommendations for the management at PHCN which, when completed appropriately and in accordance with UNFCCC requirements, will ensure that the project is able to generate CERs. ## 1.1 Status of the Project On the basis of discussions with PHCN Management Team, it is apparent that the process for securing carbon credits for the Kainji Dam refurbishment project has already begun. We were provided with the following documentation for this part of the report: Ø Project Idea Note (PIN) Ø Project Design Document th Ø Letter from Dr Mansur Muhtar of the Ministry of Finance (dated 18 May 2009) Ø Letter of approval from DNA Ø Draft report of validation by approved UNFCC DOE On the basis of the information reviewed (above) and discussions with Mr Pius Njoku, it is apparent that a viable case for a CDM project that will generate CERs for sale on the carbon markets (in whatever form they take post 2012) has been made. Technically, the project meets the requirements for a CDM project as it is covered by an existing consolidated methodology under the scheme (i.e. ACM0002 V09 – Consolidated Methodology for Grid _Connected Electricity Generation from Renewable Sources); it will generate both local and global_ environmental and socio economic benefits; and, according to the Project Idea Note (PIN) and Project Design Document (PDD), would appear to satisfy the requirements for ‘additionality’. PHCN has used the ‘Tool for Assessment of Additionality’ (V05.2) to systematically evaluate the project and it would appear that the project is made viable with the addition of carbon revenues (i.e. without the sale of CERs, the project would not necessarily be a viable proposition from an investment perspective. Whilst the Kainji Dam refurbishment project has further to go in progressing its registration (i.e. by achieving Validation by a Designated Operational Entity and receipt of a Letter of Approval from the Ministry of Environment) with the CDM Executive Board, the main challenge faced by the team is not so much the availability of CERs per se, but rather timing of available CERs and when their financial value will ultimately be realised. The refurbishment period is estimated to be 3 years from commencement, whereas the PIN and PDD both suggest that CERS will be produced from 2010. We believe that this is unlikely given the time required to complete the work. As a result, the CERS are highly unlilkely to be available for sale on the market until after 2012. The successor to Kyoto Protocol has still not been agreed and it remains uncertain whether the CDM process will remain after 2012. Indications from the Copenhagen Accord are, however, that the CDM (or equivalent process) will continue in some form and that there will be a market for high quality carbon offsets. The PIN and PDD at present imply a crediting period of 10 years, commencing 2010. As the project is not yet officially registered with the CDM Executive Board, it is unlikely that a crediting period will commence this year. This is because, the Conference of the Parties (i.e. the Supreme Body of the UNFCCC) have previously declared that ‘certified emission reductions shall only be issued for a _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] crediting period starting after the date of registration of a clean development mechanism project activity’ (Decision 17/CP.7, paragraph 12 – available from [http://cdmrulebook.org/](http://cdmrulebook.org/)) . Before CERs are generated, any CDM project will need (following registration) to have generated at least 3-12 month’s worth of emissions monitoring data for successful verification purposes. Only upon successful verification can CERs be issued by the CDM Executive Board for sale. It remains highly likely that a crediting period of 10 years can still be realised, but simply that it will commence from a date post registration (i.e. once the project is officially registered with the CDM EB and completed). To this end, we have generated a series of recommendations which we believe will enable the project team to fulfil this goal below. 2.0 Preparation for Successful Registration with the UNFCC 2.1 Project Design Document (PDD) The PDD document is complete for the proposed refurbishment of the Kainji Dam. This document is a key part of the justification of the project for CDM purposes and is an essential pre-requisite to formal registration by the UN Executive Board. 2.2 Validation Report To date, there has been no independent validation of the project by an appropriate third party. A validation report will need to be prepared by a Designated Operational Entity (DoE) if the project is to be considered for registration by the CDM Executive Board. A list of approved Designated Operational Entities able to carry out validation of the project and can be seen at [http://cdm.unfccc.int/DOE/list/index.html](http://cdm.unfccc.int/DOE/list/index.html). Recommendation: That the project team appoint a DoE to provide validation services and a validation report for the project as soon as possible. Estimated Cost: $50k Estimated Time-frame: 3-6 months Dr Victor A Fodeke ( [fmenvccu@yahoo.com](mailto:fmenvccu@yahoo.com); [vicfodeke@gmail.com](mailto:vicfodeke@gmail.com)) Head of Special Climate Change Unit Head of Special Climate Change Unit Federal Ministry of Environment, Housing, Urban Development Office of the Honourable Minister 2.3 Letter of Approval from the Ministry of Environment It is indicated in the Project Identification Note (PIN) that a Letter of Approval/Letter of No Objection has been sought by PCHN. A letter has been provided by Dr Mansur Muhtar (Honourable Minister of Finance), but it is not considered that this covers all aspects required in a letter of approval. The letter needs to originate from the Designated National Authority (DNA) for Nigeria and should clearly outline that the project will assist in achieving sustainable development. To do this, a satisfactory case will need to be submitted and the PDD is a useful way to do this.

At the end of the eight week period, the decision is considered final, unless a project review is considered necessary in accordance with the scheme rules. In our experience and knowledge of the CDM process, however, this timescale is far from reality and the process has been known to take up to two years. We would therefore recommend that the process of registration is started as soon as possible and that the project team does everything that it can to ensure the process is completed as soon as possible. Recommendation: That the application for registration is carried out as soon as possible to enable the project to be considered by the UN Executive Board Estimated Cost: $30-50k (Executive Board Fees) Estimated Time-frame: 8 weeks – 2 years+ The timescale for CER delivery and crediting period is unlikely to commence in 2010. However, according to the CDM Executive Board (17/CP.7, paragraph 12 available from [http://cdmrulebook.org/](http://cdmrulebook.org/)), it is evident that ‘certified emission reductions shall only be issued for a crediting period starting after the date of registration of clean development mechanism project activity’. The potential cash-flows from CER revenues, therefore, are likely to be delayed to beyond 2012 which may have an impact upon the project’s financial performance. 4.0 Financials & CER Crediting Periods Recommendation: That the projected emissions be calculated from a realistic start-date post registration. Recommendation: That the project team considers a prospective purchaser for the credits and considers the establishment of an Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA). Estimated Cost: $ Potentially 2-3 year delay to CER returns on project) 5.0 Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) Estimated Cost: $negligible (legal fees in setting up agreement and negotiation time) Estimated Time-frame: 3 months (for review of crediting periods) Estimated Time-frame: 6 – 12 months * * * # C) OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ## CONFORMING TO OHSAS 18001:2007 **Introduction** An ideal health and safety management system is based around the principle: **PLAN – Policy, Planning, and Organising** **DO – Implementing, Operating** **CHECK – Measuring Performance** **ACT – Review, Continual Improvement** This process follows the requirements of OHSAS 18001:2007. However specific content must be the responsibility of each individual Power station and should reflect their approach to OH&S. While ‘The Standard’ identifies the 6 steps, the recommendations of this framework are that the development of an achievable OHSMS takes a standard approach to the preparation of such a system which is not only logical, but achievable (in the long term) and maintainable. **POLICY:** - Is a Statement of Intent - Commitment to prevention of injury and ill health, and continual improvement _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * - Meeting legal and other obligations (eg requirements of the Factories Act and the Occupational Health & Safety Bill which is in the process of becoming law) - Provides framework for setting and reviewing objectives (Planning) While it is not being suggested that the current Policy being referenced by the JHEPLC be discarded, it’s inadequacies as highlighted in the main report render it ineffective in the present circumstances. It is also incompatible with the demands of OHSAS 18001:2007 ## PLANNING, OPERATING AND IMPLEMENTING (PROCEDURES) ## Hazard Identification, Risk Assessing and Determining Controls - Take account of all activities -

Top Management shall review the OH&S System at planned intervals to ensure continuing suitability and include assessment of opportunities for improvement and the need to change. Records shall be kept of these reviews. **CONCLUSION** It should be emphasised that the .foregoing is a framework, based on the requirements for conformity with the standards set out in OHSAS 1800:2007 and should not be taken as a blueprint for achieving ‘The Standard’. Meeting the requirements of 18001:2007 is a long process that requires diligent and determined commitment to the principles set out therein. This is achievable in the long term. The foundation for this however needs to be laid through top management’s deliberate decisions and actions aimed at turning things around (especially at KHEPLC). _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * D) WASTE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL AND PLAN Definitions: “Waste” is defined in Article 1(1)(a) of the Waste Framework Directive (2006/12/EC) and means “any substance or object…which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard”. “Holder” means “the producer of the waste or the natural or legal person who is in possession of it”. It rests, in the first place, with the producer or holder of a substance or object to decide whether it is being discarded and is waste. Relevant Legislation The following national regulations and guidelines have been referred to in relation to the evaluation of waste management processes at PHCN properties: • S.I.15 – National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes) Regulations, 1991 - Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1991. • National Policy on the Environment - Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 1998 • S.1.8 National Effluent Limiting Regulation of 1991 • S.1.9 National environmental protection (pollution abatement in industries and facilities producing wastes) regulations, 1991 Reference has also been made to the following international guidelines: • The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations. Statutory Instrument 2008 No. 314 - Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2008. • Non-statutory guidance for site waste management plans. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, 2008. In order to fulfil responsibilities outlined in these regulations, PHCN must to ensure that waste is recovered or disposed of in ways which protect the environment and human health, by regulating waste management operations (including collection, transport, treatment, storage and disposal) and enforcing waste management controls in a consistent manner. * * * ## Site Waste Management Plans This document outlines the details of waste management for the site. The plan must be implemented and then updated as site operations or construction proceeds. All waste transactions must be recorded or referenced in the plan to prevent the likelihood of fly-tipping. Finally, once the project is completed, the plan should be reviewed and must record the reason for any deviation from the planned arrangements. Waste management estimates will be included in the plan, against which you will compare performance as the site operations or construction project progresses. This plan will outline: - how much waste is likely to be produced on site; - for each type of waste, the proportion that will be: o re-used or recycled on site, or o removed from the site for re-use, recycling, recovery or disposal elsewhere. During the construction phase the principal contractor (for refurbishment works) must update the plan as waste is disposed of, re-used, recycled, or otherwise recovered. This makes the plan a ‘living’ document that describes the current state of progress against the waste management forecasts contained in the plan. ## Waste removal When waste is removed from the site, the site owner (during the operational phase) or principal contractor (during the construction phase), must show in waste management plan that the organization to whom waste disposal is contracted to you give your waste is authorised to receive it. This will be documented by the completion, exchange and retaining of waste transfer notes when the waste is handed over. The site owner (during the operational phase) or principal contractor (during the construction phase) must take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorised handling or disposal by others. Persons authorised to remove or receive waste may include local government waste collectors or Federal Ministry of Environment registered waste carriers. Checks should be carried out on sub- contractors before they come on-site to ensure they are legally compliant. In order to secure longer term improvements in materials resource efficiency, performance against the waste management plan should e evaluated following completion of the project. PHCN is responsible for ensuring that the plan is prepared before construction work begins or for operational purposes. In addition, the rehabilitation works designer should input into the plan on behalf of PHCN, as this will assist in recording any decisions that have been taken at the project outline/ design stage. The plan should then be passed to the principal contractor, who must update it as work progresses and ensure that workers on the site are aware of the plan and co-operate with it. This will include providing suitable site induction, information and training. Contractors will therefore need to engage their employees and sub-contractors to ensure that any waste management objectives in the plan are understood and achieved. Both PHCN and the principal contractor are responsible for reviewing, revising and refining the waste management plan as necessary, in particular, to ensure that roles and responsibilities are clear as the project progresses. They must also ensure that adequate security measures are put in place to help avoid waste being disposed of inappropriately at the site. ## Reporting requirements A site waste management plan (SWMP) will need to forecast how much of each type of waste will be produced on site and how it will be managed. But before this, decisions should already have been _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ taken on the design, construction method and materials that will reduce the amount of waste. Such decisions should be recorded in the plan before addressing the waste that cannot be avoided. Methods for reusing or recycling waste on-site before should be considered before the off-site possibilities for re-use, recycling, other types of recovery or disposal are implemented. The plan also needs to identify the location of the site and the individuals responsible for preparing and implementing it. Details required in the first draft of a SWMP are outlined below: _Responsibilities_ The hierarchy of responsibility for waste management is: 1. PHCN 2. The principal contractor for rehabilitation/construction works 3. Any other person involved in drafting the plan _Site details_ These should include: - Description of the Construction Works - The location of the construction site - The estimated cost of the project _Materials Resource Efficiency_ The use of materials should be outlined to include: - Any decision taken before the SWMP was drafted to minimise the quantity of waste produced on site. This may include o design specifications; o the choice of materials used, or o method of construction, such as pre-fabrication. Preliminary records of decisions taken on materials resource efficiency may begin at the earliest stages of the project, and copies of related documentation can be used to help complete this section of the SWMP. _Waste Management_ Management plans will include: - A description of each waste type expected to be produced during the project or operations; - An estimate of the quantity of waste that will be produced - For each waste type, a description of the waste management action proposed - (including re-use, recycling, other types of recovery and disposal) - Classification of waste as (as a minimum) inert, nonhazardous or hazardous, with further identification of individual waste streams. This will allow for a waste management route to be determined for each. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * - Information about agreed practices for the handling and storage of materials should also be included in the plan. Further detail is then required on the actual waste management actions. The plan must be updated at least every 6 months to record the types and quantities of waste that are: - re-used (and whether on or off-site); - re-cycled (and whether on or off-site); - sent for another form of recovery (and whether on or off-site); - sent to landfill; or - otherwise disposed of. Figures on the amount of re-use and recycling, and whether this takes place on or off-site, should be provided wherever possible. Details of waste that is sent for any other type of recovery should be kept and may include: - physical sorting (where this results in recovery of one or more components - of the sorted waste) - chemical or biological treatment - composting - incineration with energy recovery - remedial treatment of soil Records should also be kept for any other type of disposal, including burning without recovery and where it is not possible to record known quantities of mixed waste that are destined for other options. If significant changes are made during the course of the project, or the plan requires substantial revision, a further plan can be produced. **Waste minimisation** The WMP should improve waste management practices and help to reduce the amount of waste produced (and associated costs). Waste minimisation can be implemented on the basis of the following actions. **Role of the ‘Project Manager’** The identification of a waste management project manager for the site operations as a whole, as well as for rehabilitation works should as soon as possible (for the operational phase) and before any action is taken (for the construction phase). The manager should be able to demonstrate a number of actions: - communication with staff and management; - the identification of the required resources, information, staff motivation and training when necessary; - a good knowledge of the contract or operations of the site; and - the appointment of a team for the implementation of waste management actions. Management must also recognise that the project leader will require time set aside for waste minimisation activities and make the necessary commitment. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * The following actions will be established once the waste management project leader and team (where relevant) have been identified. ## Programme Execution The implementation of the waste minimisation changes require: - Planning - Staff education/training - Monitoring _Planning_ To have the greatest impact the programme should be a planned series of events, throughout which all the staff involved must be kept informed of progress. This is likely to involve an outline of re-use and re-cycling initiatives to minimise waste disposal. Appropriate means of disposal should also be outlined and described, with suitable contractors for implementation identified and engaged. ## Staff Education/training Training on waste management can be both formal and involving external trainers, but must also be included in practices such as site inductions, providing a routine means of communication of standard procedures at the site. Staff should also be given the opportunity to input to the process, since staff undertaking the waste producing processes often can provide practical details and become useful sources of information. _Monitoring_ The monitoring of all practical outputs and changes is vital if the success of the programme is to be measured. A clear success indicator can be, for example, a reduced electricity bill, or reduced disposal costs. ## Access to the WMP The WMP should be kept in a location where it is accessible by anyone carrying out a regulatory compliance check. During the rehabilitation/construction phase, it should be kept n the site works office or where there is no site office, at an appropriate place on the construction site (electronically or on paper). PHCN should ensure that all contractors know where it is kept and it must be made available to any contractor carrying out work described in the plan. For practical reasons it might be advisable to make multiple copies of the planned waste management actions. Where this occurs, there must be a clearly labelled master copy and all duplicates should be dated and updated accordingly. ## Inspection of the WMP The key aim should be to ensure that, for appropriate sites, a SWMP has been written and implemented. More detailed checks should reveal whether there is documentary evidence of all waste that has been removed from the site, and whether the types and quantities of waste produced have been reconciled against the estimates in the plan. The site waste management project manager should have knowledge of how the plan has been implemented, down to sub-contractor level, and the way in which the site is managed to accommodate waste storage and recovery. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * The Identification of weaknesses in the implementation of the plan should be noted. Evidence of the waste carrier registration and waste transfer or hazardous waste consignment notes for individual movements of waste should be provided either as part of the plan, or should be filed and cross- referenced. Any decisions to reduce waste through the design of the project and the construction method or materials used should be included in the plan. ## Project completion – construction phase At the end of the project the completed SWMP with records of all waste management actions needs to be reconciled against what was planned before work began. Regular updating during the construction phase should make this a relatively straightforward process. This final review will also allow for the identification of areas where forecasts were exceeded or missed, and to learn lessons for the next project. The level of cost savings achieved can also be identified at this point. ## OPERATIONAL PHASE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN ## Sanitary waste It is imperative that the sewage from both Kainji and Jebba Hydroelectric Plc is collected centrally and pre-treated prior to release in to the river, or prior to an alternative means of waste disposal. Prior to the installation of a sewage treatment facility, sanitary waste generated will be handled by a Federal Ministry of Environment approved offsite Subcontractor. Sanitary waste holding tanks will be emptied on a regular schedule based on the volume generated and holding tank capacities. **Refuse** Office waste, rubbish, and food waste generated by staff at Kainji and Jebba Hydroelectric Plc will be accumulated in “waste bins” that will be located at relevant areas within the site workroom and offices. Mobile, lidded bins or “wheelie-bin” are to be located adjacent to the kitchen area as well as at the rear entrance of each property at a distance far enough away to limit odour and vector problems. Aluminium cans, scrap aluminium metal, and glass containers will be segregated from the rest of the rubbish. Waste bins will have covers to protect against refuse blowing away and to eliminate the potential of animals and vectors getting into the refuse. Containers with food waste will be emptied on a regular schedule to protect against odours. Medical Waste ## Hazardous Material Storage Each subcontractor must submit an initial list of hazardous materials and update this list (including hazardous wastes) along with copies of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to PHCN. Whenever materials are brought onto the site or new wastes generated during field activities, the subcontractor must notify the Environmental Department Manager at either Kainji Hydroelectric Plc or Jebba Hydroelectric Plc. The subcontractor will review each listing at least quarterly (every 3 months) while at the Project site. If no changes to the list are required, the subcontractor must provide a written statement of this fact to the Subcontracts Administrator. ## Waste Disposal Table 1 provides a summary of anticipated Project generated wastes and how they will be disposed of. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * ## Non Hazardous Waste Reuse or recycling alternatives will be sought as per the waste disposal options (see Table 1 below) wherever possible (i.e. where cost effective methods, using the Best Practical Environmental Option and the Proximity Principle, can be met). Where reuse or recycling is not possible for non-hazardous waste streams, disposal of non hazardous waste will be managed by a suitably appointed Federal Ministry of Environment approved sub- contractor for disposal of waste, in a manner similar to that undertaken at the staff residences. ## Hazardous Waste All hazardous waste generated at the site will be transferred managed by a suitably appointed Federal Ministry of Environment approved sub-contractor for disposal of waste, in a manner similar to that undertaken at the staff residences. The transport of Hazardous Waste will be covered by a Waste Transfer Note (WTN). The WTN will be completed a minimum of three working days prior to the waste consignment date, allowing the receiving facility to determine whether the waste is acceptable at the site. The WTN will contain details of: **Producer** - The producing company name and address - Contact person and details - Location of the waste - Description of the waste - Hazardous properties of the waste (e.g. Material Safety Data Sheet, Waste Profile Sheet etc) - Method of storage - Quantities - Waste identification number **Carrier** - The waste carrier company name and address - Contact person and details - Registration details - Vehicle type - Date & Time of transfer - Name of person driving the vehicle - Destination of waste **Disposer** - The disposal company and site - Discrepancies in sections of the WTN - Contact person and details Before transferring the waste to another party for transportation purposes, the contractor will check to ensure that: - Transport vehicles carry any necessary safety equipment. - The vehicle is in a sound condition and capable of containing any leakages. - The vehicle has sufficient capacity to carry the waste without overloading. - Drivers are suitably trained and aware on the potential dangers of their cargoes and what steps to take in the event of an emergency. - All waste, regardless of its nature will be clearly labeled. The label must clearly identify the contents of all containers and any specific hazards such flammability, corrosivity etc. Labels must be waterproof and indelible. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * \[Image: Image859\] • Documentation with adequate information on the hazardous properties is carried with each consignment of hazardous waste e.g. MSDS or Waste Profile Sheet (WPS). To assist with ensuring that wastes are appropriately segregated for re-use, recycling and disposal, a colour coding system is proposed, as follows: • Green – recyclable non-hazardous materials • Blue – non-recyclable, non-hazardous materials • Red – all hazardous waste materials These are generic classifications only for the purposes of this project. For certain waste types, there will be specific requirements that need to be met and may warrant further segregation (e.g. certain food items may not be compostible such as bones and may need separate disposal). In each case, the contractor will need liaise with the waste disposal or treatment facility to determine any precise requirements that apply to the sorting and segregation of particular waste streams.

The Project Environmental Manager (PEM), or designee, will conduct regular field inspections to assess and document (in a Field Environmental Inspection Report) site conditions with respect to compliance with all Project environmental requirements and this Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP). During normal field operations, inspections will occur weekly and will include the overall site, the contractor residential camp and subcontractor’s Waste Storage Areas * * * \[Image: Image859\] (WSA). Subcontractors are responsible to perform daily inspect their WSAs and work areas and document these inspections. 2. Subcontractors will perform daily work area and weekly workshop/office area inspections throughout the life of their contracted work and at the time of demobilization. Copies of the inspection documents will be avail for the PEM. 3. Observations from each inspection will be documented in written form, noting any corrective actions necessary to maintain environmental compliance. 4. Areas to be inspected include, but are not limited to: • Site perimeter boundary (e.g., for potential off-site impacts); • Buffer areas and protection measures (any impacts/effectiveness); • The contractor WSAs (hazardous and nonhazardous) and hazardous materials storage areas; • Subcontractor hazardous material and WSAs throughout the site (hazardous and nonhazardous); • Vehicle maintenance areas; and • Fuel storage and management areas. 5. The results of an inspection of a subcontractor’s WSA should be discussed with the subcontractor so that they understand what the concerns are and how the issues can be corrected in a timely manner. 6. The PEM will coordinate with the Construction Superintendent to have identified deficiencies repaired in a timely manner. 7. All completed Field Environmental Inspection Reports will be kept on file in the PHCN onsite Environmental Managers office. 8.

The relevant one is the Chapter 14: Monitoring the Performance of Dams (available at [www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/safety/guidelines/eng-guide/chap14.pdf](http://www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/safety/guidelines/eng-guide/chap14.pdf)). This includes - Development of a Supporting Technical Information Document (STI) - Potential Failure Mode Analysis (PFMA), - Development of Surveillance and Monitoring Plan (SMP), - Preparation of an Inspection Process and Coordination, and - Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) The example Operations, maintenance and Surveillance Manual, taken out from Canadian Dam Association may also be used. The inclusion of these examples in this report should not be interpreted as an endorsement of these models over other possible models. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * Both the documents include EPP and IP as part of the O&M Plan. However in this document they have been dealt in separate Chapters (5 and 6). The preparation of revised O&M Plan / Performance Monitoring Programme is proposed in the ESMP implementation plan. This includes a training programme on the above once they are developed. A. FERC O&M PLAN PREPARATION GUIDELINES 1. Supporting technical Information (STI) The purpose of the Supporting Technical Information document (STI) is to summarise those project elements and details that do not change significantly. The STI should include sufficient information to understand the design and current engineering analysis for the dam such as • A detailed description of the dam • A summary of the construction history of the dam • A summary of the construction history of the dam • Summaries of standard operating procedures • Summaries of standard operating procedures • A description of the geologic conditions affecting the project works • A description of the geologic conditions affecting the project works • A summary of hydrologic and hydraulic information • A summary of hydrologic and hydraulic information • Summaries of instrumentation and surveillance for the dam and collected data • Summaries of instrumentation and surveillance for the dam and collected data • Summaries and stability and stress analysis for the project works • Summaries and stability and stress analysis for the project works The STI is a ‘living’ document, in that as new data or analysis become available they are appended to the initial STI and outdated material is removed. This document has to be reviewed once in six months but reprinted once in every 15 years. 2. Potential Failure Mode Analysis • A brief description of a Potential Failure Mode Analysis; A Potential Failure Mode Analysis is a dam and project safety evaluation tool. It is an informal examination of “potential” failure modes for an existing dam or other project work(s) by a team of persons who are qualified either by experience or education to evaluate a particular structure. It is based on a review of existing data and information, first hand input from field and operational personnel, a site inspection, completed engineering analyses, identification of potential failure modes, failure causes and failure development and an understanding of the consequences of failure. Traditional dam and project works safety evaluations have tended to focus on a limited number of “standards based” concerns such as hydraulic capacity of spillways and stability of structures under a set of pre-defined load conditions. PFMAs are intended to broaden the scope of the safety evaluations to include potential failure scenarios that may have been overlooked in past investigations. A Potential Failure Mode Analysis is an exercise to identify all potential failure modes under static loading, normal operating water level, flood and earthquake conditions including all external loading conditions for water retaining structures and to assess those potential failure modes of enough significance to warrant continued awareness and attention to visual observation, monitoring and remediation as appropriate. This section includes the following. • A brief description of a Potential Failure Mode Analysis; • A listing of the key goals and outcomes anticipated from a PFMA; • Guidance for the conduct of a PFMA is given in two ways: • Guidance for the conduct of a PFMA is given in two ways: o A brief statement of the expectations and requirements for a PFMA o A brief statement of the expectations and requirements for a PFMA o Detailed, step by step guidance for the conduct and documentation of a PFMA • A description of the intended application of the results of the PFMA as a support document for conducting the FERC Part 12D Dam Safety Examination with specific emphasis on the development of the Surveillance and Monitoring Plan for the project; o Detailed, step by step guidance for the conduct and documentation of a PFMA * * * - A description of the process for “updating of the PFMA” by future Independent Consultants; and - Appendices containing supporting materials and example products from a PFMA. ## Procedural Guidance – Potential Failure Mode Analysis Step by Step Guidance Step 1 Designation of the Potential Failure Mode Analysis Participants Step 2 Collection of Background Data on the Dam for Review by the Core Team (Licensee with input from the Independent Consultant) Step 3 Site review including interviews with key owner personnel at the Project.(Core Team) Step 4 Comprehensive review of all of the Background Data on the Dam by the Core Team Step 5 Conduct of the PFMA Session (The licensee is responsible for the facilities, the Facilitator for assuring the process is followed, and the Core Team for performing the PFMA) Step 6 Consideration of Surveillance and Monitoring opportunities and/or Risk Reduction measures for Identified Potential Failure Modes - (Note that the Surveillance and Monitoring Plan for Identified Potential Failure Modes is provided to the owner by the Independent Consultant) Step 7 Documentation of the PFMA and Surveillance and Monitoring and/or Risk Reduction opportunities (Independent Consultant) ## 3\. Surveillance and Monitoring Plan (SMP) Monitoring the performance of the dam / project to assure that possible dam failures are avoided or adequate warning time of potential or impending failures is an essential part of a dam safety program. These guidelines: - Provide a discussion of the various performance monitoring principles and methods used to aid in evaluation of a structure; and - Present performance monitoring procedures and principles for a number of common adverse responses or conditions that typically are indicators or contributors to potential failure modes. These basic principals and procedures provide general guidance that is then made specific for an individual dam for the potential failure modes identified as part of the PFMA process. ## Principles and Methods of Performance Monitoring i) Visual inspection ii) Instrumentation system iii) Comparison of instrument readings to predicted and required action levels iv) Consider a way to flag instruments that are trending in an adverse manner and what additional focus should be placed on those instruments v) Additions /deletions/duration (how long the instrument should be read) vi) Redundancy vii) Summary The surveillance and monitoring procedures set at section 14.4.2 from page 14-34 of Chapter 14 should be taken as guidelines for preparation of SMP for Kainji dam. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * H) DRAFT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN (EPP) FOR KAINJI HYDROELECTRIC PLC 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Kainji Hydro Electric Private Limited Company (KHEPLC) The Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) is a key component of Kainji Hydro Electric Private Limited Company (KHEPLC)’s Kainji Dam and Hydro Electricity Facility safety program. This EPP is prepared to meet the requirement of the dam safety rules and regulations. The EPP is designed to deal with any problem (even though highly unlikely) experienced with the Dam structure. This plan is developed in conjunction with relevant authority bodies responsible for activities during natural disasters in the area in the interest public safety. 1.2 Emergency Preparedness Plan An EPP is a formal written plan that identifies the procedures and processes that the dam operators would follow in the event of an emergency at a dam. The emergency could be, for example, failure of essential equipment such as flood gates, slope failure having the potential to cause dam failure, or a complete failure of the dam caused by overtopping, earthquake or piping. An EPP allows for planning by municipalities, local police, provincial agencies, telephone and transportation companies and other parties affected in the event of a dam break flood, and the coordination of efforts between provincial and municipal levels of government. In the event of an emergency, an effective, comprehensive, well-tested EPP will save lives and has the potential to reduce property damage. 1.3 Purpose of the Plan The purpose of the EPP is to: • Provide a plan, which facilitates public safety by notifying all appropriate authorities; The purpose of the EPP is to: • Provide a plan, which facilitates public safety by notifying all appropriate authorities; • Provide information to all stakeholders to allow for an informed evaluation to be made • Provide information to all stakeholders to allow for an informed evaluation to be made during emergency events • Provide plans of action for foreseeable flood emergencies affecting safety of the Kainji • Provide plans of action for foreseeable flood emergencies affecting safety of the Kainji Dam, hydroelectric facility and affected property downstream • Provide for a plan of action to carry out repairs and reduce the impact of any such event Kainji and Jebba hydropower plants are located on the Niger River in Eastern Nigeria, approximately 100 km apart. They have installed hydropower capacity of 760MW and 578MW respectively. • Provide for a plan of action to carry out repairs and reduce the impact of any such event where possible. 1.4 Description of the Facility The development perimeter comprises the main concrete gravity dam with earth embanked dams on either side of the main and saddle dams, which closes a secondary valley, and two gates. The main dam is 550m long with a maximum height of 64m. It comprises the water intakes, the flood evacuator and the abutments. The powerhouse is located downstream of the dam, on the right bank, and at right angles to the water intakes. The reservoir, which presently forms the Lake Kainji, is 136 km long and has a capacity of c15 billion m³. 1.5 Responsibilities The persons identified in this EPP with primary responsibility for emergency response are listed below. Assistant General Manager (Production) will be responsible for making immediate decisions regarding operations of the dam during emergency, in coordination with the AGM (Plant Services). He/She will also coordinate with the PM (Generation) regarding immediate decisions on if/when to recommend closure of the hydro-electric plant. He/She will also coordinate with AGM (ESU) to decide if/when/how to inform the public. Systems Control Centre Operator (who?) must ensure that all key KHEPLC persons to be notified are contacted as soon as possible. Decisions on emergency response are the responsibility of the key personnel noted in this document. The primary responsibility of Operator, at the time of event, is to manage the notification process. This involves coordinating all communications and recording activities of all involved personnel. Assistant General Manager (Plant Services) will be responsible to deploy resources as required to prevent or delay the incident. This involves coordination with engineers, consultants and contractors. PM (Generation) will be responsible to take corrective actions to ensure integrity of the power grid system Assistant General Manager (ESU) will be responsible to ensure overall activities are coordinated. This include liaison with outside agencies and providing information to the PHCN Abuja Office and other relevant Federal Agencies. In certain dam incidents, he can directly contact the Chief Executive Officer of PHCN in Abuja bypassing the protocol. 1.6 Dam Surveillance • Each listed agency is asked to be involved in the initial training and annual review and intermediate modification of the plan, if any, and therefore minimize potential for incorrect interpretation. • Each listed agency is asked to assist with the coordination of the duties of the agencies A formal inspection of the dam and hydro-electric facility will be done every fortnight by the AGM (Plant Services). Bi-annual inspections will be done by the staff with civil engineering consultants and/or officials from PHCN (Abuja), Ministry of Power. • Each listed agency is asked to assist with the coordination of the duties of the agencies * * * 1.8 Limitations of this EPP This EPP provides an outline and needs further revision once the hydrological modelling, inundation (flood plain) mapping and dam break analysis are over. This EPP provides an outline only at present for KHEPLC. 2 EMERGENCY IDENTIFICATION 2.1 Potential Serious Situation A Potential Serious Situation is defined as a hazardous condition at the dam, which, if not attended to, may develop into an emergency situation. Listed below are examples of conditions, which could potentially lead to dam failure if mitigation measures are not taken. Respective inspection checks are also listed. • Excessive/increase amounts of seepage; o Check drains in the gallery for any abnormal increase in quantities of seepage. o Check drains in the gallery for any abnormal increase in quantities of seepage. • Movement on the dam crest; o Check for deflection on the dam crest. o Check for deflection on the dam crest. • Spillway Obstruction o Check spillway to ensure no blockage due to debris. o Check spillway to ensure no blockage due to debris. • High inflows; o Check for water levels that are higher than normal reservoir levels. o Check for water levels that are higher than normal reservoir levels. o Check weather forecast for expected amounts of precipitation. o Check weather forecast for expected amounts of precipitation. o Check for rapid rate of rise of water levels. o Check for rapid rate of rise of water levels. • Widespread flooding; o Perform an aerial site inspection. Widespread flooding; o Perform an aerial site inspection. 3 EMERGENCY RESPONSE Dam failure is defined as the failure of the dam itself or its foundation, which results in large or rapidly increasing uncontrolled releases of water from the reservoir. It can be identified by the formation of a breach in the dam or foundation. It is impossible to determine how long it will take for a complete failure to occur once a significant breach has formed. Once a significant breach has occurred regular updates of the warning will be issued as long as the threat exists. * * * 3.2 Access to the Site Another important factor in responding to an emergency is access to the site.

Phone numbers are given in the Communications Directory (Appendix 2). This employee shall provide the Control Room Operator with the following information. - Name - Location of the Dam Incident (structure, location on the structure, extent) - Type of problem - Risk of deterioration - Reservoir and tail water elevations - Prevailing weather conditions - Other pertinent information In addition to observed dam conditions that could potentially lead to failure (e.g. cracks, seepage, movement) field personnel should also alert the Control Room Operator, KHEPLC of any other condition, that may develop into an emergency situation (e.g. high inflows, spillway blockage). The AGM (Production) and the Control Room Operator shall keep a written record of any information provided by the observer on an Emergency Report Form as provided in Appendix 3. Upon a report of a Dam Incident, the Control Room Operator shall immediately contact the AGM (Production) giving as much detail as the observing employee could provide. The AGM (Plant Services) and AGM (ESU) shall immediately be contacted by the Control Room Operator and provided with similar details. Depending on the severity of the Dam Incident, the CEO shall be contacted by AGM (Production). When a Dam Incident is reported by someone other than a trained observer the Control Room Operator shall treat it with added caution. The same procedures shall be used and an attempt to verify the caller should be made. When reporting this incident to the AGM (Production) and the Control Room Operator, it should be made clear where the report originated. It should be noted that in some cases the Control Room Operator could be the original observer of a Dam Incident. Such a situation could arise in the case of rapid reservoir drawdown as indicated by the water level recorder. Further investigation of a Dam Incident will then determine if the incident is serious enough to upgrade the situation to a further level. At this stage the Dam Incident may be reclassified as a Dam Failure. In such a case, the procedures outlines in section 4.2 below should be followed. In some cases, alternate contact persons are identified in the notification chart. Alternates have full authority to respond in the absence of the primary contact person. ## 4.2 Notification Procedures – Dam Failure The notification process will follow the following four steps in the case of a reported dam failure. ## 1) Observe and Verify Breach A trained employee observing a Dam Failure shall immediately report the situation to the Control Room Operator. The Control Room Operator shall then immediately contact the AGM (Production) and AGM (Plant Services). The Control Room Operator shall immediately contact the AGM (ESU). If the AGM (Production) and the AGM (ESU) feel that the report is credible then the CEO shall be contacted by the AGM (Production). When the Control Room Operator gets a call from an observer (whether employee or other) an Emergency Report Form (Appendix 3) shall be used to record all relevant information. When notification of Dam Failure comes from someone other than a trained employee the Control Room Operator shall treat it with added caution. The AGM (Production) and the AGM _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * (Plant Services) will make a decision on the credibility immediately, if the observer is not an employee. Verification of Dam Failure is primarily the responsibility of the AGM (Plant Services), assuming quick access to the site is possible. A Dam Failure may otherwise be called without the benefit of visual verification based on other sources of information (e.g. water level indicators, heavy rainfall.) ## 2) Initiate Notification Procedures Shown on Figure 4.1 Immediate notification is to be made as shown on the Notification Chart (Figure 4.1). Notification is listed in the order of increasing priority, in an attempt to maximize time available for safe evacuation of threatened downstream populations and for remedial action to minimize flood effects. It is the responsibility of all parties involved in this process to ensure that their personnel are readily available in such an event. The AGM (ESU), or other, may specify additional people or agencies that should be notified and initiate action which may reduce downstream hazards. Refer to Communications Directory in Appendix 2 for a complete list of phone numbers. The Control Room Operator must be fully informed of any change affecting reported condition of the emergency situation and shall complete and distribute a written report of the emergency situation (Emergency Report Form) ## 3) Evacuation Evacuation of inhabited areas, which could be inundated, is the responsibility of Rescue agencies such as Police, Fire Fighting Agencies and NEMA. Inundation maps are the guide map in the case of assessing severity of the situation and deciding evacuation procedures. Evacuation of the employees from the dam and hydro power facilities is the responsibility of the ESU (AGM). ## 4) Media Contacts Emergency announcements through the local media will generally be the responsibility of the AGM (ESU). ## 5 INUNDATION MAPPING ## 5.1 Mapping The estimated extent of flooding resulting from the hypothetical breach of the Kainji dam is shown on the inundation maps in Appendix 4. Various dam failure scenarios studied are - Cover rapid failure times, large breach sizes and conservative antecedent conditions. The potentially inundated area should be determined and the following conditions considered: o Design flood failure o Extreme flood exceeding the discharge capacity o Reduction of discharge capacity during the passage of a large flood (for example, blockage by debris, or malfunction or non-operation of gates). o Fair-weather dam failure at full supply level (piping, earthquake) o Failure induced by failure of an upstream structure Inundation maps showing - the maximum water depth and flood peak arrival time - the reservoir rim and for areas affected by the backwater effect upstream of the reservoir. - the flow and water level and inundation area for various discharge levels. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * Figure 4.1 Notification Chart * * * MAINTENANCE AND TESTING 6.1 EPP Maintenance The EPP will be reviewed and revised annually or more often if necessary during the initial years of operation of the Facility. Revisions will also be made as required to reflect personnel changes. Contact persons’ names and telephone numbers will be updated at any time that changes take place. Information will also be kept up-to date with regard to the list of materials, equipment, labour and engineering expertise available in the case of an emergency. Copies of the EPP are to be distributed by the AGM (Production) to all staff and all external agencies that have responsibilities detailed in the plan. Amendments are also to be forwarded to all Registered EPP Holders listed in Appendix 1. 6.2 EPP Testing Testing is an integral part of the EPP and will be done on a regular basis. Tests may range from a limited tabletop exercise to a full-scale simulation of an emergency event and would include making contact with all persons responsible for initiating action but not initiating an actual evacuation of a town. All external and local government agencies are to be invited to participate in testing of the EPP procedures. Participation may vary from clerical reporting functions to on-site involvement with simulated emergencies. 6.3 EPP Training Training shall be provided to ensure that dam personnel involved in the EPP are thoroughly familiar with all elements of the EPP, the availability of equipment, and their responsibilities and duties. Technically qualified personnel should be trained in problem detection and evaluation and appropriate remedial (emergency and non-emergency) measures. This training is essential for proper evaluation of developing situations at all levels of responsibility which, initially, is usually based on observations on-site. A sufficient number of people should be trained to ensure adequate coverage at all times. 7 COMMUNICATIONS 7.1 Communications Directory A detailed Communications Directory is provided in Appendix 2.

The potentially inundated area should be determined and the following conditions considered: o Design flood failure o Extreme flood exceeding the discharge capacity o Reduction of discharge capacity during the passage of a large flood (for example, blockage by debris, or malfunction or non-operation of gates). o Fair-weather dam failure at full supply level (piping, earthquake) o Failure induced by failure of an upstream structure Inundation maps showing - the maximum water depth and flood peak arrival time - the reservoir rim and for areas affected by the backwater effect upstream of the reservoir. - the flow and water level and inundation area for various discharge levels. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * Figure 4.1 Notification Chart Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices Final Report * * * MAINTENANCE AND TESTING 6.1 EPP Maintenance The EPP will be reviewed and revised annually or more often if necessary during the initial years of operation of the Facility. Revisions will also be made as required to reflect personnel changes. Contact persons’ names and telephone numbers will be updated at any time that changes take place. Information will also be kept up-to date with regard to the list of materials, equipment, labour and engineering expertise available in the case of an emergency. Copies of the EPP are to be distributed by the AGM (Operations) to all staff and all external agencies that have responsibilities detailed in the plan. Amendments are also to be forwarded to all Registered EPP Holders listed in Appendix 1. 6.2 EPP Testing Testing is an integral part of the EPP and will be done on a regular basis. Tests may range from a limited tabletop exercise to a full-scale simulation of an emergency event and would include making contact with all persons responsible for initiating action but not initiating an actual evacuation of a town. All external and local government agencies are to be invited to participate in testing of the EPP procedures. Participation may vary from clerical reporting functions to on-site involvement with simulated emergencies. 6.3 EPP Training Technically qualified personnel should be trained in problem detection and evaluation and appropriate remedial (emergency and non-emergency) measures. This training is essential for proper evaluation of developing situations at all levels of responsibility which, initially, is usually based on observations on-site. A sufficient number of people should be trained to ensure adequate coverage at all times. 7 COMMUNICATIONS 7.1 Communications Directory complements rather than replaces the Notification Chart.

We suggest the FERC’s ‘Instrumentation and Monitoring’ guidelines and an example from Canadian Dam Association. The inclusion of these examples in this report should not be interpreted as an endorsement of these models over other possible models. The preparation of Instrumentation and Monitoring Programme is proposed in the ESMP implementation plan. This includes a training programme on the above once they are developed. ## A. FERC MODEL The FERC Instrumentation and Monitoring Guidelines is presented in Chapter 9 of FERC Dam Safety Guidelines (available at [www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/safety/guidelines/eng-guide/chap9.pdf](http://www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/safety/guidelines/eng-guide/chap9.pdf)). ## B. CANADIAN DAM ASSOCIATION EXAMPLE The example Instrumentation Manual content, taken out from Canadian Dam Association, is presented below. - Description and location of instruments and monitoring devices - Initial datum, design limits} calibration requirements, operating ranges - "Alarm" levels - Mode and methodology of readings - Data recording and storing - Data interpretation _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * # J) CONTRACTOR’S EMP **GENERAL** 1. The ‘Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the Contractors’ provides a framework for environmental management to be implemented by all contractors working on the site. This EMP aims to provide a framework for environmental management of the site and to ensure that impacts on the environment are minimised. This EMP is a general one applicable to most of the works related to this Project. However for each and every contract, this EMP has to be modified according to the requirement and applicability. 2. The Contractor shall inform himself about such an EMP, and prepare his work strategy and plan to fully take into account relevant provisions of that EMP. 3. The ESU has to check whether the contractor has sufficient approvals, licences and permits to undertake the works. The EMP should provide the list of such approvals, licences and permits and the copies in the Annexure. 4. If the Contractor fails to implement the approved EMP after written instruction by the PHCN (ESU) to fulfill his obligation within the requested time, the PHCN reserves the right to arrange through the ESU for execution of the missing action by a third party on account of the Contractor. 5. Notwithstanding the Contractor’s obligation under the above clause, the Contractor shall implement all measures necessary to avoid undesirable adverse environmental and social impacts wherever possible, restore work sites to acceptable standards, and abide by any environmental performance requirements specified in an EMP. In general these measures shall include but not be limited to: **b. Minimize the effect of dust on the surrounding environment resulting from** **transportation of the equipments, temporary access roads, construction** **activities, etc. to ensure safety, health and the protection of workers and** **communities living in the vicinity dust producing activities.** c. Ensure that noise levels emanating from machinery, vehicles and noisy construction activities are kept at a minimum for the safety, health and protection of workers within the vicinity of high noise levels and nearby communities. d. Ensure that existing water flow regimes in rivers is maintained and/or re-established where they are disrupted due to works being carried out. e. Prevent bitumen, oils, lubricants and waste water used or produced during the execution of works from entering into rivers, streams, and other natural water bodies/reservoirs, and also ensure that stagnant water in uncovered borrow pits is treated in the best way to avoid creating possible breeding grounds for mosquitoes. f. Prevent and minimize the impacts of quarrying, earth borrowing, piling and building of temporary construction camps (if any) and access roads on the biophysical environment including protected areas and arable lands; local communities and their settlements. In as much as possible restore/rehabilitate all sites to acceptable standards. g. Discourage construction workers from engaging in the exploitation of natural resources such as hunting, fishing, and collection of forest products or any other activity that might have a negative impact on the social and economic welfare of the local communities. h. Implement soil erosion control measures in order to avoid surface run off and prevents siltation, etc. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ i. Ensure that garbage, sanitation and drinking water facilities are provided in workers camps (if any). j. Ensure that the workers are taking enough measures to avoid spreading of HIV/Aids. k. Ensure that, in as much as possible, local materials are used to avoid importation of foreign material and long distance transportation. l. Ensure public safety, and meet traffic safety requirements for the operation of work to avoid accidents. 6. The Contractor shall indicate the period within which he/she shall maintain status on site after completion of works to ensure that significant adverse impacts arising from such works have been appropriately addressed. 7. The Contractor shall adhere to the proposed activity implementation schedule and the monitoring plan /strategy to ensure effective feedback of monitoring information to project management so that impact management can be implemented properly, and if necessary, adapt to changing and unforeseen conditions. 8. Besides the regular inspection of the sites by the ESU for adherence to the Contract conditions and specifications, PHCN may appoint an Inspector to oversee the compliance with these environmental conditions and any proposed mitigation measures. Federal / State environmental environmental conditions and any proposed mitigation measures. Federal / State environmental authorities may carry out similar inspection duties. In all cases, as directed by the ESU, the Contractor shall comply with directives from such inspectors to implement measures required to ensure the adequacy rehabilitation measures carried out on the bio-physical environment and compensation for socio-economic disruption resulting from implementation of any works. environmental conditions and any proposed mitigation measures. Federal / State environmental In all cases, as directed by the ESU, the Contractor shall comply with directives from such inspectors to implement measures required to ensure the adequacy rehabilitation measures carried out on the bio-physical environment and compensation for socio-economic disruption resulting from implementation of any works.

Provided in the Annexure D. Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices Final Report * * * Contractor’s Environment, Health and Safety Management Plan (EHS-MP) 12. In advance of the construction work, the Contractor shall mount an awareness and hygiene campaign. Workers and local residents shall be sensitized on health risks particularly of AIDS. 13. However within 6 weeks of signing the Contract, the Contractor shall prepare an EHS-MP to ensure the adequate management of the health, safety, environmental and social aspects of the works, including implementation of the requirements of these general conditions and any specific requirements of an EMP for the works. The Contractor’s EHS-MP will serve two main purposes: • For the Contractor, for internal purposes, to ensure that all measures are in place for adequate EHS management, and as an operational manual for his staff. • For the Client, supported where necessary by ESU, to ensure that the Contractor is fully • For the Client, supported where necessary by ESU, to ensure that the Contractor is fully prepared for the adequate management of the EHS aspects of the project, and as a basis for monitoring of the Contractor’s EHS performance. 14. The Contractor’s EHS-MP shall provide at least: • a description of procedures and methods for complying with these general environmental management conditions, and any specific conditions specified in an EMP; • a description of specific mitigation measures that will be implemented in order to minimize • a description of specific mitigation measures that will be implemented in order to minimize adverse impacts; • a description of all planned monitoring activities (e.g. sediment discharges from borrow areas) • a description of all planned monitoring activities (e.g. sediment discharges from borrow areas) and the reporting thereof; and • the internal organizational, management and reporting mechanisms put in place for such. • the internal organizational, management and reporting mechanisms put in place for such. 15. The Contractor’s EHS-MP will be reviewed and approved by the Client before start of the works. This review should demonstrate if the Contractor’s EHS-MP covers all of the identified impacts, and has defined appropriate measures to counteract any potential impacts. EHS Reporting 16. The Contractor shall prepare bi-weekly progress reports to the ESU on compliance with these general conditions, the project EMP if any, and his own EHS-MP. An example format for a Contractor EHS report is given in Annex 1 below. It is expected that the Contractor’s reports will include information on: • EHS management actions/measures taken, including approvals sought from local or national authorities; • Problems encountered in relation to EHS aspects (incidents, including delays, cost • Problems encountered in relation to EHS aspects (incidents, including delays, cost consequences, etc. as a result thereof); • Lack of compliance with contract requirements on the part of the Contractor; • Changes of assumptions, conditions, measures, designs and actual works in relation to EHS aspects; and • Observations, concerns raised and/or decisions taken with regard to EHS management 17. It is advisable that reporting of significant EHS incidents be done “as soon as practicable”. Such incident reporting shall therefore be done individually. Also, it is advisable that the Contractor keeps his own records on health, safety and welfare of persons, and damage to property. It is advisable to include such records, as well as copies of incident reports, as appendixes to the biweekly reports. Example formats for an incident notification and detailed report are given in Annexes 2 & 3 below. • Observations, concerns raised and/or decisions taken with regard to EHS management during site meetings. * * * ## Annex 1: Example Format: EHS Report ## Contract: Period of reporting: ## EHS management actions/measures: Summarize EHS management actions/measures taken during period of reporting, including planning and management activities (e.g. risk and impact assessments), EHS training, specific design and work measures taken, etc. ## EHS incidents: Report on any problems encountered in relation to EHS aspects, including its consequences (delays, costs) and corrective measures taken.

KAINJI DAM ATTENDANCE AND REPORT The forum was held at the main hall at KHEPLC’s offices on 10.8.10 and lasted about 2.5 hours. Following introductions the Atkins Team Leader made a Power Point presentation of the main findings of the updated ESMP. His accompanying talk was translated into Hausa. About 75 stakeholders were present and PHCN made a record of attendees (Table below). Following the presentation the meeting was opened to the floor for statements and questions. In most cases, but not all, these were made in English and response were provide as appropriate by the TL, the PRO or other PHCN staff. Contact email addresses were provided for both the consultants and PHCN-PMU for written responses and electronic copies of the power point presentation were provide to all who made the request. The C.E.O of Kainji Hydro Power Station delivered the opening speech asking everyone to listen to the consultant’s presentation and then give their own imputes as the ESMP is meant to address all environmental issues that may arise from the rehabilitation project. The General Manager PMU in his own speech said ‘the World Bank is the one financing the Dam rehabilitation and as part of their requirements, before the project commences, there must be an environmental study that will address all environmental issues on ground and possible ones that may arise from the rehabilitation project. Atkins have been commissioned as consultants for the environmental studies, this gave the reason for this second stakeholders forum. The consultant along with a local language interpreter presented their findings and recommendations to the whole forum. Comments from the stakeholders were as follows: -Chairman HYPPADEC Borgu Community said ‘relationship between Awuru and PHCN is bad to the extent, the two are having court pending cases. However, the new Awuru settlement is PHCN initiative but the buildings are in bad shape while PHCN have not been carrying out maintenance and regular checks and development on the community. They have been abandoned for long they don’t have electricity supply till date.’ -The district head of Koro community in his own comment said “all communities close to the dam are suppose to be benefiting positively from PHCN but they are not instead they are suffering.” -A representative from Fakun community said, there is no electricity supply or any development from PHCN in their community. -Dr. Aminat Mohammed from Kaima community said on behalf of all women in Borgu community, the project should consider the women and empower them also provide employment for them. Also she wondered why the Borgu community is not having electricity supply. -Abubakar Kaya from Kaya community asked “of what benefit is the project to them” especially -The District Head of Fakun said all their request to PHCN are being turned down, in that their community is in a dangerous place despite the fact that the dam starts from their village. The state government has not done anything for them yet the community spends a lot of money to get things in place. -Abubakar Kaya from Kaya community asked “of what benefit is the project to them” especially since his community is not having electricity supply. * * * \*\*-\*\*The Chairman of HYPPADEC commented by saying that this is the second stakeholders forum on issues concerning the communities and there environment and these done with the World Bank. The reports have been seen and read, the consultants have written their views. The consultants should have ask HYPPADEC to write the names of all the communities affected and the problems they face. Since the World Bank is responsible for this project, how will the final report be implemented? Also, the technical committee on ground should have representatives from the communities. \*\*-\*\*Representative from Borgu youths Federation, said cause of the reduction of fish catch many of the people in the communities affected has turned to farming. What will be the benefit of the project to them? \*\*-\*\*The representative from Community Action on Popular Participation said since resettlement is to be expunged from ERSU, how will the project take place because the people need resettlement also, why is there no NGOs in the technical committee? The C.E.O Kainji Hydro Power Station responded to comments made by saying that everything said was heard and shall all be looked into. On the issue of electricity supply, the Borgu community is increasing and it’s not on national grid hence the Power Station cannot continue to supply electricity to all concerned or else the Power Station will have problems but the government is now making efforts to put the community on national grid by building a transmitting station so that everyone can be supplied with electricity. The coordinator of ERSU PMU then gave a closing remark he also said that the people of Borgu should see the dam as theirs and also should look into the good the dam has done to community than looking at the bad. However both the PHCN and Borgu community will join hands together to move forward is the solution of any problem and that is the essence of the ESMP. Subsequent contact with the consultants by email (any contacts direct to PHCN not included). 13/8/10 From Dr. S. I. Ovie, NIFFR, New Bussa ## Stakeholders Forum for the rehabilitation of the Kainji and Jebba Hydropower Stations: Brief ## comments by the National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research I represent the National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR) and I participated at above Forum during your presentation at both Kainji and Jebba hydropower stations. My comments, which largely represent the interest of my Institute are few and are stated hereunder: 1. The case of down stream communities: Your report and presentation appeared to have focused mainly, if not entirely, on the impact of the dam on riparian communities around Lakes Kainji and Jebba only. As a Federal Government Institute with a national mandate, it is our opinion and submission that down- stream communities (ie after Jebba) who are also heavily dependent on the water resources of the Niger River, especially for fishing and agriculture, should be mainstreamed into any mitigating interventions. Permit me to inform you that the construction of the two dams has greatly impeded downstream water flow and availability stretching from immediate downstream of Jebba to the Niger Delta. The adverse impact on fisheries and agriculture are real. 2. Your recommendations on Social Corporate responsibilities (SCR) of PHCN (-free admission into school and hospital, reconstruction of roads, water supply, training of fishermen, alternative sources of livelihoods etc) are commendable but what is the framework for sustaining these interventions after the expiration of the World Bank project cycle and funding becomes limited or totally unavailable from that source? Perhaps the Grievance Mechanism you enunciated could cope with any likely agitation that might arise from this recommendation in the event of any breach. However, I think we should be proactive with respect to any potential future agitation for continuity after project cycle. 3. As you rightly pointed out in your presentation, NIFFR has the capacity to undertake effective studies in the areas of flora and fauna. This will cover: fish production assessments (Catch Assessment Survey -CAS) including the use of certain lake chemical indices to estimate potential fish yields to complement or corroborate CAS estimates: preparation of best practice in fishing and fisheries using FAO platform for the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) etc. Has fish production gone down or is an issue of excessive effort? Anticipated studies will reveal this. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * 4. While you also bemoaned the absence of a Socio-Economist in PHCN, we are pleased to inform you that NIFFR has a Division of Socio-Economics and Extension Services and is ready to key into this area of your recommendation. Alternative livelihoods studies and the problems of resettled people (not resettlement) are key components of this Division. 5. On water quality, I am also pleased to inform you that NIFFR has a Division of Environmental Studies that has all along been concerned with the water quality status of the two lakes. While the problem might be presently minor as you indicated, there are potentials for future worsening of the situation and consequently we should not ignore but be proactive in planning for this future likelihood. 6. Finally, I am not too sure whether you mentioned the issue of aquatic weeds in the lakes in your presentation. Permit me to inform you that this was a major problem in the two lakes in the 90s and was only controlled through the effort of NIFFR with international assistance from the German International Technical Cooperation (GTZ). Here, water hyacinth was the major culprit and while control was judged to be generally effective during the project life span, there is now a slow and gradual re-emergence of the weed in the lakes. I think that the issue of aquatic weeds deserve attention as they not only threaten the turbines for power generation but also the livelihoods of the riparian communities by impeding fishing and navigation. ## Atkins response 18/8/10 1. We see the main impact area as extending from the head of Lake Kainji to Pategi where the Kaduna enters the Niger. We would expect ESMP activities to extend (or be confined, depending on your point of view) to this area. 2. We would not expect routine CSR activities to be funded by the World Bank project. The creation of an ESU would give more weight to the issues covered by its mandate but a measure of its success would be the extent to which communities take on their own responsibilities. We do not see CSR as meaning an endless flow of funds from PHCN to communities but rather PHCN acting as facilitators for communities to resolve their own problems and to become independent. 3. We think a thorough understanding of the fisheries resources is an important part of the ESMP. 4. I wasn’t aware of NIFFR’s socio-economic capabilities. This can be borne in mind when planning any social investigations. 5. Water Quality OK noted 6. We mention aquatic weeds in our report but not in the presentation I gave as we could see no immediate evidence that they are a current problem. However interested to hear that you think that they are becoming a returning problem. Perhaps could provide brief details of the 1990s control programme which we could include in our final report. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * KAINJI STAKEHOLDERS ATTENDANCE ORGANIZATION ADDRESS/EMAIL | S/N | NAME | ORGANIZATION | ADDRESS/EMAIL | PHONE No | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Abubakar Garba | Kaya | Kaya | 08077168642 | | 2 | Isa Ibrahim Anaruwa | Fakun | Fakun | 0805210919 | | 3 | Shuaibu Abdullahi | Kaya | Kaya | 08051205011 | | 4 | Ian Mathiason | Atkins | UK | 07030506440 | | 5 | F.

JEBBA DAM ATTENDANCE AND REPORT th The forum started at 11:34 am on the 11 August 2010 at the club house hall in the Jebba life camp. The list of attendants are shown below. The C.E.O delivered the opening speech saying that the World Bank has asked for the environmental study so as to address some of the environmental issues on ground. He then implored everyone to listen to the consultants presentation of their findings and proposals. The General Manager PMU in his own speech said ‘the World Bank is the one financing the Dam rehabilitation and as part of their requirements, before the project commences, there must be an environmental study that will address all environmental issues on ground and possible ones that may arise from the rehabilitation project. Atkins have been commissioned as consultants for the environmental studies, this gave the reason for this second stakeholders forum.’ The consultant along with a local language interpreter presented their findings and recommendations to the whole forum. Comments came from the stakeholders and they are as follow: \*\*-\*\*The District Head of Nupe read out the Etsu Nupe’s speech which said that they (Nupe Community) are glad that the World Bank are financing the Dam rehabilitations and have put the Nupe Community into consideration. They will want the Bank and PHCN to also look into the problems facing the community. \*\*-\*\*The Asiwaju Of Jebba representing the Oba of Jebba said that there are thirty three (33) villages in jebba with a population of forty thousand (40,000) and their major occupation is farming. He also used the opportunity to thank PHCN for Bore Holes, Schools, Hospitals that where built by PHCN. However, the issues the community is having with PHCN is that of flooding and the community, wants free health care, more bore holes and employment opportunities for their people. \*\*-\*\*The representative from Mokwa Community said 60& of Niger State the Host State to the Hydro Power Stations is being affected negatively by the Dams operations. However committees were inaugurated to look into the environmental issues before and after the Dams construction. What happened to the reports of these committees? In addition, in line with the consultant presentation saying that PHCN should implement their report, we are also asking for the report implementation. \*\*-\*\*Pastor S.B Bello from Morrow Local Government Asked if copies of the ESMP could be made available to the LGA. \*\*-\*\*Chairman HYPPADEC also representing the Governor of Niger State delivered the Governor’s speech that was thankful for the ESMP report and he said if the report is implemented, it will go a long way to improve the life and standard of the people of the communities. He also made mention of HYPPADEC’s happiness for the forum and the ESMP as this will also improve relationship between PHCN and the host community bearing in mind that all the three Hydro Stations are in Niger State. \*\*-\*\*S.K. Mohammed representing the Kwara State Government was thankful for the organisation of the forum he however raised the following issues: a. Early flood warning should be taken seriously by PHCN b. Communities socio-economy survey should be taken serious especially for communities on the downstream c. The technical committee is composed of government officials, there should be indigenes and Local Government officials on the committee d. PHCN needs to have a good rapport with the communities so therefore PHCN should work on that. \*\*-\*\*The Chairman Morow Local Government in his statement asked if there is any Kwara State member in the technical committee, which he faults for non-inclusion. \*\*-\*\*Alhaji Sule Mohammed from Jebba community said there is a cordial relationship between Jebba community and PHCN. He also said the TOR published in the dailies were not made _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ available in Local Government areas. Communication gap between Mokwa JHE is high. He said further, that they have some demand which are as follow: a. Free medical treatments b. Scholarship c. Employment opportunities d. Since the Dam rehabilitation is coming up, Mokwa people should be given contracts in the project. The CEO responded to all issues raised by saying that LHE has been doing alot for the host communities and they will continue to try their best for them. For the technical committee everyone has a chance to be a member which its being worked on. Everything said have been heard and will be worked on. The coordinator of ERSU PMU then gave a closing remark he also said that the people of Borgu should see the dam as theirs and also should look into the good the dam has done to community than looking at the bad. However both the PHCN and Borgu community will join hands together to move forward is the solution of any problem and that is the essence of the ESMP. _Kainji and Jebba Dams ESMP Update 2012 – Appendices_ _Final Report_ * * * ## Subsequent contact with the consultants by email.

PROJECT BACKGROUND** Following a request from the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) in Niamey, the World Bank ### expressed its interest in financing the Niger Basin Water Resources Development and ### Sustainable Ecosystems Management Project (WRD-SEM). The rehabilitation of the Kainji ### and Jebba Dams is a component of the WRD-SEM. The project is designed to rehabilitate some turbines of the Kainji Dam and some facilities of the Jebba Dam. For both Dams, ### ancillary equipment will be rehabilitated in order to improve the performance of the two ### Dams to deliver more power into the Nigerian national power grid. Due to the nature, location and regional scope of the WRD-SEM Projects which are in the ### Niger Basin (Guinea, Mali, Benin, Niger and Nigeria), the direct/indirect or induced impacts and proposed plans to construct at least three new Dams in the Niger Basin (Fomi, Taoussa and Kandadji Dams) of which one might be financed in the phase 2 of the project, the WRD- ### SEM project is classified as a Category A project according to World Bank Safeguard ### Policies. The rehabilitation of the Kainji and Jebba Dams component is classified as Category ### 2 according to the Nigerian environmental assessment classification. To be in compliance ### with the World Bank Safeguard Policies and the Nigerian environmental protection laws, an ### Environmental and Social Audit (ESA) of the WRD-SEM was carried out in 2002 (another ### Environmental Audit was carried out in 2007. The results were never implemented). The ### ESA of 2007 contains an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the Kainji ### and Jebba Dams rehabilitation. These ESMP for the Projects need to be made operational. ### The rehabilitation of the Kainji Dam will increase its power output. This increase will offset ### thermal power production within Nigeria and this could make the rehabilitation Project ### eligible for Carbon Financing. This opportunity of Carbon Financing is presently being ### explored. With the inclusion of the Carbon Financing Project as an added component coupled ### with some omissions in the original ESMP and other concerns raised during the stakeholders’ forums at Kainji and Jebba on January 28 and 30, 2009, respectively, the ESMP included in ### the ESA needs to be updated before the implementation of the Rehabilitation Projects can start. ### 2\.
