ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES COMPLIANCE REPORT
Ayudhaya Natural Gas Power Project of Gulf JP UT Company Limited is 1,700 MW. Its location is
in the area of 300 rai approximately in the Rojana Industrial Park (RIP) Phase VI at Ban Chang Sub-district,
Uthai District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. The project aims to generate and distribute the
electricity through transmission line system of Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) in order
to strengthen the power security of the country. The project detail on below.
(1) Project Title : Ayudhaya Natural Gas Power Project (Uthai Power Plant)
(2) Project capacity : 1,700 MW.
(3) Project Owner : Gulf JP UT Co., Ltd.
(4) EIA Approved : January 17th, 2012
(5) Start of construction : January 7th, 2013
(6) Accomplishment : 100.0% completion
(7) Target completion period : December 1st, 2015
Summary of the potential environmental impacts as follows:
Air quality Emission from combustion is the main source which might cause impact on air quality. In order to minimize its impact to be at the lowest level, the project has installed the Continuous Emission
Monitoring System; CEMs to fully monitor and control the emission rate to comply with the prevention and
mitigation measures and national standard.
Noise Machinery for electricity generating might cause noise affected to both working staff. In order
to minimize its impact to be at the lowest level, the Project has provided the proper Personal Protection
Equipment such as ear muff to all staff and provided the warning sign at the noisy area. Noise contour map is
developed in the year of production and every 5 years. From noise contour map information, it was indicated
that all area have sound level below 85 dB(A). Periodically maintenance programs are also applied to reduce
the noisy source.
Surface water quality Cooling water blow down discharge, wastewater discharge and oil –contaminated rain water are 3 main sources of water pollution which might cause impact the surface water
quality. The power plant already constructed retention containment adequate for retaining both cooling water
blowdown water and wastewater and also installed the automatic online monitoring system so the water
quality will be monitored and control to comply with the regulation before discharge. Oil-contaminated rain
water will be collected in the oil separation pond before draining the unpolluted water to the Rojana Storm
Water Drainage System.
Transportation Project regularly trained the driver for transportation rules and regulation. Chemical
and waste transporting truck is inspected for the proper condition, safety sign comply with UN
recommendation and HAZCHEM.
Management of solid waste Wastes generated from staffs’ consumption and operation activities may cause an impact. In order to minimize its impact to be at the lowest level, the project has fully complied with the prevention and mitigation measures; e.g., provision of sufficient garbage bins with lids at various places in the project area, assigned staff has gathered and put in the designated area, at least once a day. Wastes was classified for re-use or sold. General waste is transported and disposed by Ban Charng Subdistrict Administrative Organization and sludge from water pre-treatment by Ayothaya Recycle 2002 Co., Ltd that is the authorized company from Department of Industrial Works.
Drainage and flood control The project area has designed and constructed drainage system for storm
water and collected to Storm water Holding Pond before discharge to drainage system of Rojana Industrial
Park. Checked-up conditions of drainage system and removal waste from drainage channels are scheduled on a weekly basis.
0081594-0000024 TY:2847989.13 3
Public participation and public relations The project has established the Community Participation
Committee on July 13, 2017 and the Community Participation Committee established the Environmental Inspector and assigned them to organize and monitor the project implementation. There were 2 Environmental Inspector meetings on September 10, 2018 and November 5, 2018. The project informed and disseminated information about the project mitigation measures through meeting media and listened to the
concerns of communities. The project has joined activities with communities and government agencies continuously, such as support GULF FOOTBALL CLINIC with Buriram United Club, support budget for Environment Exhibition at Tourism Promotion Center Conserver Natural Resuorces and Environment (Hed Tub Tao) and support budget to Loi Krathong Festival in the community around the power plant, etc.
Public health, occupational health and safety The operation activities may cause impacts on the
health of workers and peoples who are living nearby the project area. So the project has complied with the prevention and mitigation measures, including provided first aid equipment, medical supplies and vehicles
for use in case it is necessary to transport any power plant employee(s) to the nearest clinic or hospital
immediately. PPE wearing is also mandated, including safety helmet, safety gloves, safety shoes, noise
protective devices, etc., while working all the time. Conducted routine inspections of quality of equipment,
tools and machines as specified in the manufacturer's manual (by also including pre-use inspections).
Providing training in knowledge, safety and environment as well as safety and environmental instructions for
employees according to job characteristics and every related person. Project prepared adequate firefighting
and first aid equipment, place them at proper places. Recorded accidents and investigated the causes, and
also recorded the causes of illnesses and used the information obtained from these activities to find a way to
prevent and correct the problems. Material safety data sheet (MSDS) is posted for every type of chemicals
had separately kept reactive chemicals from each other.
Major Hazards Project inspected the natural gas and diesel oil pipeline systems and other equipment
to ensure that they were ready for use and also conducted a surveillance of these systems and equipment for
Safety all the time. The power plant designated the plant area and the gas pressure regulating & metering
station as specific areas where no work generating heat or sparks is allowed to take place, by also posting
warning signs at the gas pressure regulating & metering station and the diesel oil tank In case it was
necessary to enter any of such areas, strict checking and control as well as work permit system were required
The power plant had provided training for its staff and related persons so as to advise them of accurate work
instructions, work precautions, work methods and how to react when encountering a gas or oil leak or other
hazardous event, or to provide them with other necessary training courses. Disaster Response Plan is
established, which focused on gas or oil leaks and listed of emergency phone numbers for use when
requiring control of the aforementioned emergencies are posted.
