2.1.1.1 Regulatory Requirements

Environmental issues in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are regulated by the National
Centre for Environmental Compliance (NCEC), part of the Ministry of Environment, Water
and Agriculture (MEWA).

The main national environmental regulations in the KSA are the General Environmental
Regulations 2001 (GER 2001). The GER contains the following sections, which are
applicable during the work:

• Articles 1-18 describes the roles and responsibilities of the Competent Authority and the
licensing agencies, requirements for new and existing facilities, requirements for
compliance with standards and protection of the environment and fines and penalties
• Environmental protection standards namely for Ambient Air Quality and Wastewater Pre-
Treatment and Direct Discharge Standards and Receiving Water Guidelines (Annex 1 of
the GER 2001)
• Basis and Procedures for Environmental Evaluation of Developmental and Industrial
Projects (Annex 2 of the GER 2001)
• Manual of Environmental Rehabilitation Procedures details the various environmental
activities (services) that require certification from the Competent Authority (Annex 3 of the
GER 2001)
• Rules and Procedures for Hazardous Waste Management (Annex 4 of the GER 2001)
• National Contingency Plan for Combating Marine Pollution by Oil and Other Harmful
Substances (Annex 5 of the GER 2001)
• Types of Contraventions and Nature of Fines (Annex 6 of the GER 2001).

This legislation forms the basis of environmental management within the KSA. The
environmental protection standards were updated in 2012-2014.

In addition to KSA Regulations, environmental quality standards from the World Health
Organization (WHO) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) are applicable to the work.
Where the standards or limits set for an environmental quality parameter differ between KSA,
WHO or IFC requirements, the most stringent of the three apply to the work.

The relevant emissions, discharge, and ambient environmental quality standards applicable
to the work are set out in Appendix B.

Appendix B. Environmental Quality Standards

The environmental quality standards applicable to the work have primarily been taken from
the highest possible standard from either KSA Environmental Standards, WHO, or IFC
Performance Standards. Where a standard from one of these three regimes is not present for
a set of environmental quality conditions, a national standard considered to be world leading
has been adopted instead.

Environmental quality standards are provided for the following:

I. Ambient Air Quality

II. Mobile Source Emissions
III. Noise Emissions
IV. Light Emissions
V. Ambient Ground Water Quality
VI. Soil Quality
VII. Treated Wastewater Quality
VIII. Potable Water Quality

07-004101-4200000030-SAC-CIV-MST- Page 61 of
 I. Ambient Air Quality
The national air quality standards for KSA were prescribed in 2012 (PME, 2012). These are
shown in Table A1 below together with World Bank Group standards (IFC / World Bank
Group, 2007), (WHO, 2000), (WHO, 2005) and the NEOM Interim Industrial Air Pollution and
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NEOM-NEV-STD-302-03.01).

The adopted NEOM standards are shown in bold type. In accordance with IFC Performance
Standard 3, the highest standard from national and IFC guidelines has generally been
selected as the NEOM standard. For particulate matter, national standards are proposed as
the project standards because IFC standards are not expected to be achievable due to the
naturally arid conditions in KSA. For sulphur dioxide, an interim target standard has been
adopted as the project standard as progress toward meeting IFC guidelines.

 III. Noise Emissions
The national noise limits are shown in Tables A5 to A7. Table A5 below shows the national
standards for construction noise, together with outdoor noise limits prescribed in World Bank
standards (International Finance Corporation / World Bank Group, 2007).

The project standards are shown in bold type. In accordance with IFC Performance Standard
3, the more stringent standard from national and IFC guidelines has been selected as the
project standard. As stated in the World Bank standards, noise impacts should not exceed
the IFC limits presented in Table A5 or result in a maximum increase in background levels of
3 dB at the nearest receptor location off-site. Note that highly intrusive noises, such as noise
from aircraft flyovers and passing trains, should not be included when establishing
background noise levels.

 IV. Light Emissions
Light pollution is the misdirection or misuse of light, generally resulting from an inappropriate
application of exterior lighting. Backlight creates light trespass onto the adjacent community
and environment by directing light in the opposite direction of the area intended to be lighted.
Upplight causes artificial sky glow. Glare is caused by high-angle front light.

Light pollution creates an abundance of environmental problems. Wildlife species that hunt
or forage at night may be unable to feed. Some flora and fauna are unable to adjust to
seasonal variations when exposed to light pollution. Migratory birds that rely on stars to
guide them during migration may become disoriented. Finally, light pollution directed into the
sky or into areas that do not need illumination is a waste of both energy and so unnecessary
contribution to climate change.

Project teams must comply with the limits in Table A8 below.

Table A8 NEOM Permissible Illumination Level Change and Sky Glow per Environmental
Zone for Exterior Lighting Control
Maximum
Environmental Zones for Exterior Lighting Illumination Level % Sky Glow, ULR,
Control Change, with Lights [Max %] (2)
On and Off (1)
E1: Intrinsically dark landscapes – National
Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 5 0
etc.
E2: Low district brightness areas Rural, small
10 0
village, or relatively dark urban locations
E3: Medium district brightness areas small
10 0
town centres or urban locations
E4: High district brightness areas Town/city
20 2.5
centres with high levels of night-time activity
Notes:
(1) Refer to method for Night Illumination Perimeter Measurement from the Light Pollution Reduction Credit from
LEED Existing Building O&M – Sustainable Sites: Measure the night illumination levels at regularly spaced
points on the project boundary, taking the measurements with the building’s exterior and site lights both on
and off. At least eight measurements are required, at a maximum spacing of 30 metres apart. The illumination
level measured with the lights on must not be more than 5-20% above the level measured with the lights off,
depending upon the Environmental Zone’s sensitivity.
(2) ULR = Upward Light Ratio of the Installation is the maximum permitted percentage of luminaire flux for the
total installation that goes directly into the sky. Some lighting schemes will require the deliberate and careful
use of upward light – e.g., ground recessed luminaires, ground mounted floodlights, festive lighting – to which
these limits cannot apply. However, care should always be taken to minimise any upward waste light by the
proper application of suitably directional luminaires and light controlling attachments.

Appendix C. Additional Plans

A. Waste Management Plan

The Waste Management Plan shall set out how Operators shall avoid or minimize the
production of waste, and outline requirements for waste segregation, storage, handling,
collection, transport, and disposal.

The Waste Management Plan shall be developed to align with the NEOM Waste
Management Procedure (NEOM-NEV-PRC-706) and shall include:

 A detailed description and estimation of all expected waste streams,

classes and volumes for the works.
 Procedures to ensure waste generation is minimized as much as possible,
that good housekeeping is maintained, and no litter is present on the site,
and that any hazardous waste generated is collected, stored, transported
and disposed of in accordance with relevant laws.

B. Dust Management Plan

The main objective of the Dust Management Plan (DMP) is to manage, minimize and control
the impacts of dust from the construction site, operation of the processing plants, material
loading and unloading activities, and transportation on access roads on sensitive receptors,
in line with the regulatory requirements, by implementing adequate procedures and controls
mechanisms on site.

The DMP should be read in conjunction with the OESMP and the Traffic Management Plan
and the other sub-plans, as relevant.

The DMP shall cover the following:

 Detail the methods to be used to minimize and control dust emissions.

 Maintain a dust monitoring program.
 Identify the risk levels at which site operations may need to be modified to
manage compliance, including consideration of weather conditions (high
wind).
 Define the measures to manage short term episodic events.
 Detail the management measures to be undertaken where the dust levels
are demonstrated to exceed the applicable limit.
 Reporting requirements, including relevant metrics.
The plan shall be specific for this project site, activities and working conditions.

C. Health and Safety Management Plan

07-004101-4200000030-SAC-CIV-MST- Page 78 of
The purpose of this Health and Safety Plan is to ensure that during the conduct of the works
the workforce, either directly employed or working for subcontractors, are not subject to
unacceptable risks to their health and safety. This covers all aspects of the work from
physical construction activity to potential exposure to any harmful chemicals or materials.

The Plan should contain the following measures as a minimum:

 a risk assessment that reflects the key sources of risk to the health and safety of the
workforce, and the steps taken to reduce risks to ALARP.
 details of a worker HSE induction that all personnel involved in the project will have
to attend.
 the provision free of charge of personal protective equipment, training, task-based
method statements, policies and procedures.
 HSE organization and reporting protocols.
 steps taken to integrate a behaviour-based safety culture amongst the workforce.
 certification and pre-use inspections for all lifting/tunnelling equipment used,
checking that they are operated by competent and trained personnel.
 an up to date first aid box will be provided at all construction sites and a trained
person will be appointed to manage it.
 monitoring and evaluation framework to record all training activities, tool-box-talks,
risk.
 assessments, provision of PPE, and the investigation of all incidents and near-
misses.

ii. Community Health and Safety Plan.

The purpose of the Community Health and Safety Plan is to ensure Contractors identify and
manage any risks to the local communities that arise from the works being undertaken. This
may be from the likes of construction traffic using the public roads or the incoming work force
bringing communicable disease such as Covid 19.

The Plan, as a minimum, must:

 identify all key risk from the works to any local communities, e.g., from traffic
accidents, etc.
 provide mitigation and management plans for all identified risks.
 include communications / consultation procedure including a potential liaison
committee with local stakeholders.
 set out details for complaints / grievance procedure and recording.

D. Traffic Management Plan

The purpose of the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is to ensure that personnel and materials
can be transported to and from the site safely and with any potential environmental impacts
or social disruption avoided or minimized to As Low As Reasonably Possible.

The TMP has to be project specific; mapping out potential hazards and / or sensitive
receptors, as well as the planned routes, turning points, signage, facilities, etc. It should be
compiled by

07-004101-4200000030-SAC-CIV-MST- Page 79 of
the Contractor to incorporate their work methodologies and systems, and to ensure that all the
approved traffic management measures are implemented.

The TMP shall include, as a minimum:

 Mapping of agreed transport routes to site.

 Mapping of obstructions (low bridges, overhead cables, weight restrictions).
 Mapping of sensitive locations along transport routes/within the project area, that
should be avoided or speed restricted (low bridges, overhead cables, weight
restrictions, restricted periods, environmentally sensitive areas, sensitive receptors
to traffic disturbance – schools, clinics, shopping centres, etc.).
 Proposals to coordinate traffic movements to avoid congestion or queuing at site
entrances or on public roads to include dispatching systems, vehicle holding areas,
allocated time slots, co-ordination between Contractors, etc...
 Defines roles and responsibilities for Traffic and Transportation Management.
 Contact details for Transportation Managers and Supervisors.
 Safety requirements for vehicles, minimum standards and inspection regime.
 Driver safety measures (e.g. controlling and monitoring working hours, applicable
limits, speed limiters, tachographs, driver training, etc.).
 Procedures in the event of an accident or breakdown, including events associated
with wildlife encountered within the project area/along transport routes.
 Separation of pedestrians and vehicles.
 Details of site entrances for various vehicle types.
 Construction site circulation routes.
 Marshalling and traffic signs on site.
 Ensuring no public access to construction sites.
 Allow for the public to cross the road during construction activities.
 Procedures for Abnormal and Indivisible Loads.

E. External Grievance Plan

The purpose of the External Grievance Plan is to ensure the concerns of site neighbours or
other third parties that may be affected by construction activities (including transportation)
have an opportunity to register their grievances and that these are reported, recorded,
investigated, and responded to in a systematic way.

All grievances will be reported to the NEOM representative within 24 hours and will be
resolved within a reasonable time period. All grievances will be fully documented identifying:
1) the grievance raised; 2) the name and contact details of the person or business
concerned, and Contractor representatives involved; 3) the investigations carried out to
determine the validity of the grievance; 4) the outcome of the process; 5) written notifications
or agreement identifying that the parties are satisfied that the grievance is closed.

The plan shall be specific for this project site and activities.

F. Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Chance Find Procedure

07-004101-4200000030-SAC-CIV-MST- Page 80 of
The purpose of the procedure is to provide immediate protection to any potential
archaeological features discovered on site during construction/operation until their value can
be determined.

The plan shall include:

 Examples of the types of artifacts that may be discovered, for example any non-
natural buried materials including bones, clothing fragments, brick or stonework,
pottery, tile, metal, wood etc. Any non-buried, artificial stone/ rock structures that are
not already recorded. Any writing, carving, painting or graffiti on stones or rocks that
is not already recorded.
 Requirement to stop work if any such materials are encountered.
 Procedure for informing site management/ NEOM of the potential Find.
 Procedure for recording the Find (geo-locate and photograph).
 Requirement to obtain advice / inspection of the Find by a suitably qualified
archaeologist.
 Reporting and documentation requirements.

G. Spill Response Plan

The purpose of the Spill Response Plan is for the Operator to set out the measures to be
implemented to respond to minor spills of fuels, oils, or chemicals in safe manner, so that
environmental harm is minimized, and remediated if needed. Management and response to
major spills will be addressed.
The plan will include the following:
 Details of personnel trained in spill response measures.
 Drilling of the Spill Response Plan – the response procedure must be
drilled within 2 weeks of commencing work on site and then a minimum of
once every six months.
 The location and contents of spill response kits.
 How to raise the alarm – who to contact in the event of a spill.
 Spill response procedure to include:
o Assessment of risk – identification of spill type and size,
evacuating affected area.
o Personal protective equipment requirements.
o Confining the spill.
o Stopping the source.
o Decontamination.
o Waste disposal and reporting requirements.

H. Flood Control Plan

07-004101-4200000030-SAC-CIV-MST- Page 81 of
