Title:

APP-001961: Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for activities associated with the proposed installation of an above-ground oil storage tank, in the industrial area of Okahandja, Otjozondjupa Region, Namiba

Publication Year:
2021
Abstract:

Right-Path Investments (Pty) Ltd intends on obtaining an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for their proposed installation of an above-ground oil tank, on a currently disturbed piece of land measuring 150 square meters, located within their premises. Right-Path is currently dealing with a lot of delivery tasks for their brick-making operations. Their monthly consumption is high enough to consider having their own oil tank to save on the budget. However, in order for Right-Path to store oil on their premises, a permit is required from the Minister of Mines and Energy. An ECC is one of the requirements in order to obtain this permit. Puma oil company will assist with the installation of the oil tank. But it will be a very simple one and only a base of 1 meter high will be constructed to hold the oil tank. It is in the opinion of I.N.K that due to the fact that the land is currently disturbed due to the brick making operations and the relatively small scale of the project, only an EMP will be required to allow MEFT to make a decision regarding the project.
