Final Report

INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

This Oil Spill Response Plan (OSRP) provides Shapoorji Pallonji Corporate Team, NBBL Site

Operations and response personnel with strategic and tactical guidance regarding response

management, capabilities and resources in the unlikely event of an oil spill during the operation of the

225MW Duel Fuel Combined Cycle Power Project. The OSRP follows international practices,

Bangladesh National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) and the International Maritime Organization

(IMO) Manual on Assessment of Oil Spill Risk and Preparedness. The tiered preparedness and

response in this OSRP is also consistent with the International Convention on Oil Pollution

Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990 (OPRC 1990). The OSRP identifies potential types

and magnitudes of oil spills and their relative potential impact. It provides key steps for initial actions,

notification procedures, and important safety information. The OSRP establishes the role of the ERT,

lists oil spill response resources, identifies the Spill Response Operating Team, describes response

facilities, and provides information on implementing oil spill response strategies.

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of the OSRP is to arrange and prepare for effective emergency response that can

mitigate the potential consequences of an oil spill from the power project to people (local community

and Company personnel), environment (including ecology and biodiversity), Company assets and

reputation, and enables normal operations to be resumed efficiently. The aim of the plan is to outline

arrangements for responding to oil spills in proximity to the project site, with the aim of protecting

against environmental pollution. Where this is not possible, the plan shall minimise the effect, support

the response in an environment friendly manner, and dispose the collected oil/debris in accordance

with the existing laws/regulations/orders in force.

1.2 Scope

The scope of OSRP is to identify, assess, evaluate and manage the risks related to the spillage of

high-speed diesel (HSD) from the barges involved in the riverine transportation of bulk fuel (~300

tonnes) from the Barishal/Jhalakhai oil depot through contractor barges to the project site in Bhola.

This also includes spillage from leak/rupture of transfer lines during unloading of fuel at the project

jetty to the bulk fuel storage tanks.




Final Report

POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK – OIL SPILL MANAGEMENT

2. POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK – OIL SPILL MANAGEMENT

2.1 Legislations

There is no comprehensive law directly dealing with vessel source marine pollution in Bangladesh.

However, there are legal provisions under various legislations to a deal with marine pollution which

cover marine pollution to some extent.

The Environment Conservation Act, 1995 is the umbrella legislation for environment protection. The

provisions of this act can be used to protect marine environment to some extent. The Environment

Conservation Act defines pollution in a broad manner. Therefore, the wide definition can

accommodate all types of environmental pollution or discharges from vessels. In addition, if any

accidental discharge incident occurs, a responsible person has to take measures to control or mitigate

the pollution as per Act. The pollution incident should also be notified to the Director General,

Department of Environment.

The Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO), 1983 is the umbrella law for regulating shipping in

Bangladesh. The Merchant Shipping Ordinance established the Department of Shipping and other

relevant government bodies pertinent to shipping. The Department of Shipping is responsible for

regulating shipping and implementing IMO Conventions. The Merchant Shipping Ordinance deals with

a ship registration surveying and safety related matters. However, there is no specific provision to

deal with marine pollution.

Considering that the project shall involve movement of barges carrying fuel through inland waterways

the following regulations and international conventions (as ratified by Bangladesh) shall be applicable:

2.1.1 Inland Shipping Ordinance, 1976

In accordance to the provision of this regulation, all inland ship or a facility plying or operating in or

around inland waterways shall not cause any pollution of inland water. Furthermore, every inland ship

is required to obtain a pollution prevention certificate, which shall be renewable on an annual basis.

2.1.2 Standing Order for Salvage of Sunken or Capsized Vessel, 1976

This order sets out the instructions for categorising the level of inland ship/vessel related

emergencies, rescue/salvage procedure to be followed for each level/type of emergency and roles

and responsibilities of various government departments/agencies towards implementation of this

standing order.

2.1.3 International Conventions

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by

the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78): Specifies prevention or control of the pollution by oil,

noxious liquid substances, packaged goods and non-liquid substances, sewage and garbage.

International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness. Response and Cooperation, 1990

(OPRC): Provide a global framework for international co-operation in combating major incidents

or threats of marine pollution. Governments are required to establish a national system for

responding promptly and effectively to oil pollution incidents. 'Ibis includes, as a basic mininuim,

the creation of national local points responsible for oil pollution preparedness and response,

reporting and handling requests for assistance.

It is to be noted that Bangladesh is not party to any liability and compensation related

international convention viz. the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution

Damage.




Final Report


2.1.4 Oil Spill Management – Role of Government & Other Agencies

In accordance with the draft National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) of Bangladesh, the Ministry

of Environment and Forests (MoEF) will be the nodal ministry for coordinating the emergency

response in case of an oil or chemical spill disaster. Department of Environment (DoE) will provide

necessary technical and secretarial support to MoEF for effective coordination in case of the

incidence of the emergency. The government departments and agencies who will act as resource

agencies as required to provide all-out support to the actions of the coordinating authority are as

follows:

Ministry of Defence

Ministry of Shipping

Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources

Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock

Bangladesh Navy

Bangladesh Coast Guard (BCG)

Department of Agriculture

Department of Environment (DoE)

Port Authorities

Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC)

Mercantile Marine Department (MMD)

Directorate General of Shipping (DGS)/Department of Shipping

Bangladesh Inland Transport Authority (BIWTA)

National Oceanic Research Institute (NORI)

Institute of Marine & Fisheries Science, Chittagong University (IMFS-CU)

During an emergency or crisis all the agencies will extend co-operation by providing resources and

expertise. They will be coordinated by requests of central committee named National Oil Spill

Committee (NOSC) to be formed and headed by Secretary MoEF and Director General of the

Department of Environment (DoE) as member secretary. The port authorities will be responsible for

the response of accidents within port limits. The Bangladesh Navy and Coast Guard will make their

facilities and resources available to address the situation, such as – aircrafts, ships, logistics support,

and man-power. Ministry of Shipping will provide waterways resources necessary, such as tugboat or

assessment boats and Energy and Mineral Resources Division will arrange tank barges and store

recovered oil. Director General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping, will be responsible for all

negotiations with the vessel, cargo owners, and insurers and will conduct all negotiations regarding

compensations and indemnification. Ministry of Environment and Forests will provide scientific advice

regarding species at risk, shore-line sensitivity, restriction of fishing activities, use of dispersant

chemicals, beach cleaning methods, etc. Finance Division of the Ministry of Finance will provide

authorization for expenditure and funds for initial response and ensure that adequate financial records

are maintained.




Final Report


NBBL for the given project depending upon the emergency tier (discussed in the subsequent section)

shall notify the DoE’s crisis management team who shall activate the NOSCP, coordinate with first-

responders in the area, and alert all related organizations necessary to procure resources and

expertise depending on the situation. Both BIWTA and BCG shall coordinate pollution response

activities on inland waterways, while the Divisional Environmental Authority shall coordinate the land

response activities. Shoreline clean-up responsibilities outside port limits shall be responsibility of

local authorities.

OIL SPILL RISK ASSESSMENT

3. OIL SPILL RISK ASSESSMENT

Oil Spill Risk Assessment (OSRA), in terms of establishing, analysing and evaluating the risk, is a key

element in a risk management process. The outputs of the OSRA link directly to oil spill response

planning, which is integral to risk reduction. It also emphasizes the importance of communication,

consultation, monitoring and review throughout the entire process. The elements of the OSRA

process are illustrated in

Figure 1: Oil Spill Risk Assessment Process Elements

This section of the plan outlines spill risk assessment study methodology for the proposed project

which includes:

Profiling of flow pattern and meteorology of the project study area;

Identifying the potential causes of oil spills globally including their risk frequency as based on

review of historical data available;

Characterizing oil spill size distribution for ships/vessels; and




Final Report


Performing the oil spill trajectory modelling for hypothetical scenarios based on oil type, the spill

size and location, and the weather conditions.

3.1 Climatology and Flow Pattern

3.1.1 Meteorology

Bangladesh is located in the tropical monsoon region and its climate is characterised by high

temperature, heavy rainfall, often excessive humidity, and fairly marked seasonal variations. From the

climatic point of view, three distinct seasons can be recognised in Bangladesh - the cool dry season

from November through February, the pre-monsoon hot season from March through May, and the

rainy monsoon season which lasts from June through September. January is the coolest month with

temperatures averaging near 26°C and April the warmest with temperatures from 33 to 36°C. Most

places receive more than 1,525 mm of rain a year, and areas near the hills receive 5,080 mm. Most

rains occur during the monsoon (June-September) and little in winter (November-February). Moderate

rains also reported in the months of March, April and October.

As per the Climatic Sub-Regions in Bangladesh, the Bhola District falls in the South-Eastern Zone.

The nearest Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) 1 meteorological station is at Bhola Town,

which is about 25 km north of the Project site. The climatic conditions as recorded at Bhola therefore

can be considered applicable for the Project. To assess the climatic conditions of the area,

climatology data has been obtained from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) for the

period 1966 – 2011.

Temperature

Temperature records from observatory at Bhola are available for last 45 years. The period from March

to May is marked by continuous increase in the temperatures. April is the hottest months of the year

with a mean daily maximum and minimum temperature (in April) of 32.8°C and 23.8°C, respectively.

The extreme maximum and minimum temperatures recorded in last 45 years are 37.9°C (1966) and

13.4°C (1998), respectively. With the onset of monsoon by mid-May, the temperatures descend

slightly. The mean daily maximum temperature during the monsoon season (mid-May to September-

end) varies from 32.8°C to 30.5°C. From November onwards, both the day and night temperatures

decrease and January is the coldest month, with daily maximum and minimum temperatures of

25.7°C and 12.5°C. The monthly variation of normal maximum and minimum temperatures in Bhola

has been presented in Figure 2.

(1) 1 Bangladesh Meteorological Department is the authorised Government organisation for all meteorological activities

in Bangladesh. It maintains a network of surface and upper air observatories, radar and satellite stations, agro-

meteorological observatories, geomagnetic and seismological observatories and meteorological telecommunication

system.




Final Report

Humidity

Due to heavy rainfall and proximity to Bay of Bengal, the humidity levels in the area remains high.

Relative humidity in Bhola is generally above 80% throughout the year except in the months of

February and March. Minimum average daily relative humidity is 61% during the month of December.

The annual average humidity is about 83.9%. The monthly variation of daily average maximum,

minimum and mean relative humidity in Bhola has been presented in Figure 3.

Rainfall

Average annual rainfall based on rainfall data recorded at Bhola for last 45 years is 2297.4 mm. Of

the annual rainfall, about 80% fall during five monsoon months (May to September) with June and

July getting the maximum rains. Minimum precipitations are reported during the months of November

to February, whereas average showering does occur in March, April and October. Annual rainfall

varies from 1609 mm (1992) to 3148 mm (1983). The monthly rainfall variation based on the

climatology data and number of rainy days in each month in Bhola has been presented in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Normals of Rainfall in Bhola


Wind Speed and Wind Direction

Wind direction and speed keeps changing due to seasonal variations. Prevalent wind direction is

south/north and vice versa. Winds are generally moderate during non-monsoon season, whereas

during the monsoon season, these are moderate to strong. The wind speed varies from 2.0 knots to

15.0 knots, with average wind speed of about 7.0 knots. Meteorological data for the project site was

also collected from the MM5 processed data. Monthly windroses based on the meteorological data for

year 2015 is presented in Figure 5. Annual windrose diagram and wind class frequency distribution is

3.2 Hazard Identification

The objectives of hazard identification are to:

identify hazards associated with the facilities and operations being studied, the threats, and the

circumstances which may trigger hazardous events (i.e. incidents when a hazard is realized);

identify the potential characteristics of hazardous events; and

identify potential preventive measures.

For the purposes of this document, the focus will be on hazardous events related to potential releases

of liquid hydrocarbons (i.e. oil spills) to the surrounding environment. Depending on the scope of the

study, and on the basis of the OSRA, the following hazardous events have been identified with

respect to the proposed project, but are not limited to:

collision of fuel transport barges with other navigational/riverine vessels; and

spills during unloading of fuel at the site jetty.

3.3 Frequency Analysis

The frequency analysis of the hazards identified with respect to the proposed project was undertaken

to estimate the likelihood of their occurrences during the project life cycle. Hazard frequencies in

relation to the proposed project were estimated based on the analysis of historical accident frequency

data and professional judgment. Based on the range of probabilities arrived at for different potential

hazards that may be encountered from oil spills that may result from vessel collision and

bunkering/fueling operations with respect to the proposed project, the following frequency categories

and criteria have been defined (Refer Table 1).

Table 1: Frequency Categories and Criteria

Likelihood Ranking Criteria Ranking (cases/year) Frequency Class

5 >1.0 Frequent

4 >10-1 to <1.0 Probable

3 >10-3 to <10-1 Occasional/Rare

2 >10-5 to <10-3 Not Likely

1 >10-6 to <10-5 Improbable

F=Frequency of occurrence

Based on limitations regarding availability of oil spill incident data for Bangladesh, the frequency

analysis of oil spills with respect to the proposed project is based on the following report - “Water

Transport Accident Statistics” as prepared by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers.

This datasheet provides information on water transport accident statistics which comprises of global

data plus more detailed regional/national data where relevant or where available.

The report identifies vessel collision, contact, fire/explosion, structural failure, transfer spill,

unauthorized discharge and grounding as the possible causes of oil spills. The spill frequency with

respect to each of the aforesaid causes has been presented in the Table 2 below.




Final Report

TOTAL 6.9 X 10-3 17.43 2522

Source: Water Transport Accident Statistics – OGP

With the project involving inland waterways transport of ~300 tonnes of fuel (high speed diesel) from

the Barishal/Jhalakhai oil depot through contractor barges, collision and transfer spills have been

identified as the most credible scenarios with spill frequencies of 1.5 X 10-3 and 1.7 X 10-3

respectively.

Similar observations were made with respect to the analysis of the International Tanker Owners

Pollution Federation Limited (ITOPF) Oil Tanker Spill Statistics 2015 which reveals that small (<7

tons) and medium (7-700 tons) sized spills account for 95% of all the incidents recorded; with a large

percentage of these spills, 40% and 29% respectively, occurred during loading and discharging

operations which normally takes place in ports/jetties. Large spill account for the remaining 5% of all

the incidents recorded, and occurrence of such incidents have significantly decreased over the last 46

years. In 50% of the cases the larger spills occurred when the vessels were underway in open water;

allisions, collisions and grounding accounted for 59% of the causes for these spills.

Hence based on the discussion, the probability of oil spills from the aforesaid accidental events for the

proposed power project is identified to be as “Remote” (Refer Table 1).

3.4 Consequence Analysis

In parallel with the frequency analysis, hazard prediction / consequence analysis exercises were

undertaken to assess the likely impact of project related risks on onsite personnel, infrastructure and

environment. In relation to the proposed project as well as the existing activities have been

considered, the estimation of the consequences for each possible event has been based either on

accident frequency, consequence modeling or professional judgment, as appropriate. Overall, the

consequence analysis takes into account the following aspects:

Nature of impact on biodiversity;

Occupational health and safety;

Asset and property damage;

Corporate image; and

Timeline for restoration of property damage.




Final Report


The following criteria for consequence rankings (Refer Table 3) have been drawn up in context of the

possible consequences of the risk events that may occur during the proposed project operations:

the likelihood of occurrence and the magnitude of consequences. The significance of the risk is

expressed as the product of likelihood and the consequence of the risk event, expressed as follows:

Significance = Likelihood X Consequence

The

Table 4 below illustrates all possible product results for the five likelihood and consequence

categories while the Table 5 assigns risk significance criteria in three regions that identify the limit of

risk acceptability. Depending on the position of the intersection of a column with a row in the risk

matrix, hazard prone activities have been classified as low, medium and high thereby qualifying for a

set of risk reduction / mitigation strategies.

3.4.1 Potential Environmental & Social Consequences of Oil Spill

The effects of an oil spill will depend on a variety of factors including, the quantity and type of oil

spilled, and how it interacts with the marine environment. Prevailing weather conditions will also

influence the oil’s physical characteristics and its behaviour. Other key factors include the biological

and ecological attributes of the area; the ecological significance of key species and their sensitivity to

oil pollution as well as the time of year. It is important to remember that the clean-up techniques

selected will also have a bearing on the environmental effects of a spill.

Reportedly, the barges carrying fuel in the form of HSD shall use the Tentulia River and the Dehular

Khal to access the project site. As specified in the project ESIA report dated March 2017, no critical

habitat have been identified in the Dehular Khal, which is considered as the major receptor in case of

any accidental oil spills. There are reports of Juvenile Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) seen in the

Dehular Khal by the local fishermen who undertake fishing in the Khal although the Khal does not

present a suitable habitat for Gharial as it has steep eroded banks. It is more likely that the species is

more common in Tentulia River as it has vast char lands which suit this species for basking and egg

laying.




Final Report


Dehular Khal is used as a navigational channel and for fishing. However fishing is on a very limited

scale. Fishing in Khal is limited for Shrimps (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) which are reportedly

abundant in Khal. Major fishing is undertaken in Tentulia River.

Review of land use map in the ESIA report, reveals absence of any mangrove vegetation along the

banks of the Dehular Khal. However, few islands in the Tentulia River within the project study area

was found to be covered with mangrove vegetation.

Hence based on the discussion above, the following potential consequences have been considered

and discussed in the Table 6 below.

Table 6: Environmental & Economic Consequences of Oil Spills in the Project Area

Environmental Sensitivity Criteria Definition

Fish Wild fish swim away from oil spills and long-term effects on local populations

are avoided. However, fish populations moving back into an area following a

spill may take some time to recover. Fisheries can also be disrupted if

migration routes are changed as a result of an oil spill.

This is of importance as fishing, aquaculture and shrimp seed collection

is the main secondary occupation for the local communities within the

project study area.

Gharial Due to the tendency of oil to float at the sea surface, marine mammals and

reptiles are at risk as they must surface to breathe. The oil can potentially

cause harm to nasal tissues and eyes and whilst mortalities caused by oil have

been recorded, the majority of mortalities which coincide with oil spills have

usually been found to result from other causes.

Considering there have been Gharial in the study area in Tentulia River,

any major oil spill has the potential to adversely impact their habitat.

Mangroves Oil slicks enter mangrove forests when the tide is high, and are deposited on

the aerial roots and sediment surface as the tide recedes. Mangroves can be

killed by heavy oil that covers the trees’ breathing pores and by the toxicity of

substances in the oil, which may impair the salt exclusion process.

The environmental setting map of the study area (Refer Figure 7) shows

mangrove species growing at few patches on few islands within the

Tentulia River which shall be utilised for riverine transport of bulk fuel for

the project.

3.5 Oil Spill Modelling

3.5.1 Properties of Spilled Oil

The main properties which affect the fate of spilled oil at sea are:

specific gravity

distillation characteristics (its volatility)

viscosity (its resistance to flow)

pour point (the temperature below which it will not flow).

In addition, the wax and asphaltene content influence the likelihood that the oil will mix with water to

form a water-in-oil emulsion. Oils which form stable water-in-oil emulsions persist longer on the water

surface.

For the purpose of the risk assessment, High Speed Diesel has been considered for modelling as it

will be serving as fuel source for the proposed project. The diesel oil properties fall within the range of

specified values i.e. density: 0.82-0.86 g/cm3, kinematic viscosity: 2-5 cSt, distillation percent

recovered and are in compliance with IS 1460:2005. Further the product to be simulated (HSD) is a

refined product and it is generally accepted that refined oils will not form stable emulsions due to their

low asphaltene and resin content. The characteristics of HSD have been presented in Table 7 below.

3.5.2 Fate of Spilled Oil

When oil is spilled on water it normally spreads out and moves on the water surface with wind and

current while undergoing a number of chemical and physical changes. These processes are

collectively termed weathering and determine the fate of the oil. Some of these processes, like natural

dispersion of the oil into the water, lead to the removal of the oil from the sea surface, and facilitate its

natural breakdown in the marine environment. Others, particularly the formation of water-in-oil

emulsions, cause the oil to become more persistent, and remain at sea or on the shoreline for

prolonged periods of time.

The speed and relative importance of the processes depend on factors such as the quantity spilled,

the oil’s initial physical and chemical characteristics, weather and sea conditions and whether the oil

remains at sea or is washed ashore. Ultimately, the marine environment usually eliminates spilled oil

through the long-term process of biodegradation.

Modelling of Oil Spill Weathering

The weathering of the hypothetical spill volumes of HSD resulting from the proposed project during

berthing and/or vessel collision has been modelled using ADIOS (Automated Data Inquiry for Oil

Spills) online tool. This is an oil weathering model developed by National Oceanographic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and asks for information on the spill itself, environmental

conditions, and the planned cleanup strategy.




Final Report


The ADIOS database includes estimates of the physical properties of oils and products. It then uses

this information and mathematical equations to predict changes in those properties once the oil has

been released. Such properties include the density, viscosity, and water content of oil or refined

product; and the rates at which it evaporates from the sea surface, disperses into the water column,

and forms oil droplets that become emulsified, or suspended, in the water. The database was

compiled from a variety of sources, including Environment Canada, the U.S. Department of Energy,

and industry. The program includes models to estimate the effects of common cleanup techniques,

such as chemically dispersing, skimming, or burning the oil, and it now accounts for environmental

processes, such as sedimentation

Based on the proposed project operations, the following HSD spill volumes including the study area

climatological data, wave conditions and water properties have been considered as input for modeling

the weathering of oil spills (Refer Table 8). The model has not taken into account use of any external

oil spill control agents like dispersants etc.

Final Report


The interpretation of the model output reveals that for a major HSD spill (100-200MT) majority of the

oil (~70%) get evaporated within 24 hours of release. The maximum evaporation loss for any major

spills occurred 120 hours of the release respectively. After five days, other processes, such as

biodegradation and photo-oxidation, may also be important; however the program does not model

these processes.

3.5.3 Oil Spill Scenarios

Stochastic and worst-case deterministic simulations were performed for each of the three potential

spill scenarios using the Online Oil Spill Advisory System (OOSA) developed by the Indian National

Centre of Ocean Information Services (INCOIS). All scenarios originated at the following probable

locations:

Confluence of Tentulia River and Dehular Khal - 22°29'1.14"N & 90°39'18.09"E

High Speed Diesel fuel (HSD) was spilled in all scenarios (Refer Table 9). The two spill volumes

simulated were:

150 MT, representing the upper end of an accidental spill such as a process leak;

300 MT, considered the largest instantaneous volume that would be spilled in the event of a side-

on collision resulting in the rupture of a full tank.

4 High Speed Diesel Monsoon Instantaneous 24 hours 300

5 High Speed Diesel Post Monsoon Instantaneous 24 hours 150

6 High Speed Diesel Post Monsoon Instantaneous 24 hours 300

The spill modelled using OOSA for three different seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-

monsoon) was extrapolated on an integrated web GIS maps and presented in Figure 10 to

As depicted in the aforesaid figure, an oil spill of 150 MT during post-monsoon on Tentulia River is

likely to spread to a maximum distance of ~11km towards the south affecting patches of mangroves,

mud flats and shoreline of nearby villages viz. Nazirpur and Bara Pata. Such impact is likely to be

exhibited during the first 24 hours of instantaneous release.

The risk significance for the potential oil spill scenario resulting from collision presented below. For

calculating the risk significance, the likelihood ranking considered “2” as the frequency analysis for

spill incidents is computed at “~ 10-3”; whereas, the consequence ranking has been identified to be as

“5” since the spill will be triggering a Tier 3 response with the potential to cause damage to mangrove

habitat and economic livelihood.

OIL SPILL RESPONSE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

4. OIL SPILL RESPONSE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

4.1 Oil Spill Response – Tiered Approach

NBBL for the proposed project has adopted a tiered preparedness and response model as part of this

oil spill response plan, which gives a structure approach to both establishing oil spill preparedness

and undertaking a response. The tiered model also drawn from the National Oil Spill Contingency

Plan (NOSCP) of Bangladesh. This shall help to put in place definitive interventions/actions

depending on size, location, vicinity and extent of spread of the spill. The tiered response description

for this plan has been provided in the Table 10 below.

Table 10: Oil Spill Response – Tiered Level

Response Tier Resources Details

Contingency Plan prepared by NBBL.

Tier 2

(50-100 tonnes)

Regional Capability These are medium spills that cannot be

managed by the resources onsite/locally. Tier-

2 spills require support from regional location

and will require coordination of more than one

source of equipment and response personnel.

For Tier-2, one has to refer to the National Oil

Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) of

Bangladesh.

Tier 3

(>100 tonnes)

National/International Capability These are categorized has large oil spills

Final Report


4.3.1 Initial Oil Spill Notification

In case of an offshore oil spill, the owner, captain or any person in charge of the transportation of fuel

through barges shall immediately report the same to the NBBL Incident Controller/Commander of the

NBBL Emergency Response Team (ERT). On receipt of the spill notification, NBBL shall immediately

report the incident to the Department of Environment, MoEF, Bangladesh Navy or Coast Guard,

Bangladesh Inland Waterways Authority (BIWTA) and/or nearest port authority, who have been

identified as key stakeholders of the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) of Bangladesh.

Such notification shall be done as per the prescribed format (Refer Appendix A) in accordance to the

requirements under International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness Response and Co-

operation, 1990 (OPRC) and Protocol I of MARPOL 73/78.

Internal & External Reporting Requirements

All those that may be required to assist in an emergency are to be notified as early as possible as per

the following notification process:

The incident shall be reported to the Site Controller (SC) of the ERT via on-call phone who

shall be for managing the response to the incident.

Wherever possible the IC will discuss the incident details with the On-scene Commander

(OC) or Incident Controller (IC) and mobilize the ERT accordingly.

The ERT will action any appropriate response plans and mobilize the required resources for

the incident.

The SC and IC will review the situation and will consider the requirement to notify and

mobilise the national agencies like BIWTA, BCG, Port Authority and/or international oil spill

responders/contractors. The emergency contact list of both national and international

agencies as obtained from the draft NOSCP of Bangladesh have been furnished as part of

Appendix B.

4.3.2 Oil Spill – Hazard Assessment

NBBL in liaison with the national agencies like BCG, BIWTA, must carry out a rapid initial assessment

of the oil spill situation. This shall include but not limited to the following:

Risk of fire or harm to human health;

Probable quantity of fuel spilled;

Type of fuel;

Location of the spill; and

Probable source and cause.

It is important to estimate the size of the spill so that it can be correctly categorised into a tier to alert

onshore responders and regulators to the type of incident, possible impact and likely severity. NBBL

shall adopt two methods to estimate a spill size:

Known quantity: if the oil has been lost from a tank or a hose that contained a known amount,

report that amount.

Unknown quantity: estimate the quantity visually based on the area the slick covers and the

relationship between the observed oil colour/ appearance which determines its thickness.

In order to assess the situation, NBBL shall obtain first visual observations by the fuel carrying barge.

For advanced surveillance, NBBL shall rely on the aerial surveillance aircrafts to be mobilised by BCG

or Bangladesh Navy on notification of spill or shall obtain satellite imagery from external agencies viz.

OSRL.




Final Report


For hazard assessment, NBBL shall also refer to the consequence analysis section 4.4 in this plan to

understand the spill trajectories and fate for the hypothetical scenarios being considered.

4.3.3 General Clean Up Actions

Although each oil spill is different, however with respect to the said project the general common clean

up advice/action shall be as follows:

Ensure oil spill equipment is in a known and accessible location. Equipment is to be kept in the

Oil Spill Response (OSR) container kept at the barge or at designated location at the project. Oil

spill response equipment is not to be used for any other purpose without the permission of the

Incident Controller of the ERT.

If a spill occurs, stop or minimise any further spillage. If refuelling, stop immediately. Ensure

safety of all personnel. Check for fire and explosion risk. Close off cut-off valves. If classed as a

Tier 1 or Tier 2 spill and there is no risk of fire or explosion, call out the ERT.

Ensure safety equipment is worn (rubber gloves, over suits). If classed as a Tier 3 spill, stop or

minimise any further spillage, monitor situation and await instructions from ERT and government

and international spill response agencies like BCG, BIWTA, DoE, OSRL, etc.

The site of a spill should be considered a potentially dangerous area - where practical, it should

be cordoned off with the use of hazard tape (in case of oil reaching shoreline) and access should

be allowed only to those involved in the spill response.

For Tier 1 and Tier 2 spills, deploy absorbents and/or inflatable booms to contain fuel if possible.

Shoreline inflatable booms can also be used on land to prevent the spread of spilled fuel. When

using a boat to deploy inflatable booms, warm up the engine before attempting to tow the booms.

Set up the emergency storage tanks on a flat area near the spill site. Ensure that floating storage

tanks of adequate capacity are available near the spill site.

Use the portable pump to remove the oil or fuel from the water surface into the floating storage

tanks to allow separation. Pump surface oil into the floating storage tanks, or remove from the

surface with absorbents. Watch out for pinhole leaks in the tanks.

If oil escapes past the inflatable booms and cannot be contained or recovered, then the water

surface can be agitated using a water pump or outboard motors to aid natural dispersion.

Tanks containing recovered fuel/water, oil soaked booms, absorbents and contaminated clothing

must be sent for disposal to nearby authorised waste disposal facilities. Follow the waste

disposal instructions as outlined in the Project Environment & Social Management Plan (ESMP)

report.

For oil reaching mangrove habitat in case of major spills (Tier 3) as evident from the spill

trajectory modelling exercise (refer Section 3.5.3), the response actions has been discussed in

Section 4.3.4.

4.3.4 Clean Up Actions – Oiled Mangroves

If mangrove shorelines are oiled, extreme caution exercised in selecting clean-up activities. Potential

benefits of oil removal must be weighed against the risks of potential additional harmful impacts from

the cleanup technique. Table 11 below lists possible cleanup methods and their potential impacts as

suggested by NOAA.




Final Report


Table 11: Oiled Mangroves Response Options

As discussed under section 3.5.3, modelling of major oil spills (150MT and 300 MT) during all

seasons at the Tentulia River revealed impact on mangroves patches located along the river.

Considering the spill to be of diesel with mangrove habitat likely to be adversely affected, NBBL along

with other government and external spill response agencies to consider possible clean-up options like

barriers/berms or vacuuming or low pressure water flushing or a combination of both depending upon

real time scenario.

Sediment berms and dams can be used to temporarily close off the mouths of small inlets

where currents and waves are low enough not to wash the sediments away. Because of the

risk of altering the hydrology of the site, special care will be needed to make sure that all

sediments are removed and the site restored to its original configuration.

Vacuuming

Vacuuming can be used to remove pooled oil or thick oil accumulations from the sediment surface,

depressions, and channels. Generally, vacuuming should be conducted only at the outer fringe of

mangrove forests; it is most feasible and least damaging where vegetation is not very dense, enabling

easy access. Vacuuming can be used effectively on heavier and medium oils, providing they are still

reasonably fluid.

Ambient Water Flooding (Deluge) and Low-Pressure Ambient Water Flushing

Low-pressure flushing with ambient river water can wash fluid, loosely adhered oil from the

sediment surface and mangrove vegetation into areas where it can be collected, as long as it

can be done without resulting in significant physical disturbance of the sediment. Generally,

flushing is most feasible at the outer fringe, but can sometimes be used to remove oil

trapped within the mangrove forest. Flushing operations have to consider tidal currents (flush

on a falling tide) and wind (an onshore wind will push any released oil back onto the

shoreline).




Final Report


Under no circumstances should live mangrove vegetation be cut or burned. Both techniques

shall destroy trees and mangrove habitat, which may take decades to reach a mature stage.

4.4 Oil Spill Response Strategies

The general strategy of NBBL shall be to stop, contain and recover oil spills and to clean up as much

spilled fuel as possible in the first few days, after a spill and then leave the rest to natural processes.

Long-term, intensive clean-ups are not carried out by the NBBL because of the rapid evaporation and

the severe climatic and logistical constraints. NBBL shall have necessary materials and equipment

stored on base to follow the response strategy for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 spills. Full details of the

materials and equipment to be held are discussed in Section 5.5. In-situ burning and surface

dispersants are not normally allowed for any spill resulting from the proposed project; however, each

spill is different and the general strategy of containment and recovery of fuel may not be appropriate

under all circumstances. NBBL will seek expert advice from government authorities and international

oil spill response agencies like Oil Spill Response Ltd (OSRL) as specified in the NOSCP, before

making a decision on the use of dispersants or in-situ burning or any other methods of spill recovery

and containment.

This section identifies and describes the primary on-water tactics that NBBL will consider for

implementation when responding to offshore oil spills where applicable. The information included in

this section is intended to introduce each tactic and aid in the selection of the most applicable and

effective option(s).The primary on-water response tactics include, but are not limited to:

Monitored natural attenuation; and

Mechanical containment and recovery;

4.4.1 Monitored Natural Attenuation

Monitored natural attenuation involves periodic aerial or vessel surveillance of the floating oil to

confirm its location, that its volume is steadily decreasing, and that it is not threatening any sensitive

areas. During inclement weather or sea state conditions, this may be the only feasible response

option. Monitored natural attenuation may also be appropriate for smaller spills (Tier 1) that will not

affect sensitive areas or pose a significant threat to the environment, including sheens or residual

floating oil that may remain after other operations are complete.

With respect to the proposed project it will be necessary to provide vessel to monitor the progression

of natural attenuation of the floating oil. Accurate documentation of location, size, and appearance of

the oil slick is needed to provide an estimate of the remaining volume. Only trained observers will

conduct the monitoring and the results of each successive monitoring event will be compared to the

previous to demonstrate the oil is dispersing naturally. If vessels are used, samples of the remaining

floating oil may need to be collected and analysed to confirm the oil is dispersing naturally.

4.4.2 Mechanical Containment & Recovery

Offshore containment and recovery tactics use various types of mechanical devices, including boom

and skimmers, to collect, contain and recover oil from the sea surface that has been located by

surveillance. For this project, booms and skimmers shall be used by the onsite spill response crew.

Recovered oil shall be temporarily stored in support vessel in-built tanks or on deck storage

containers/drums or on floating storage units. Spreading, sea state and weather conditions may

decrease the effectiveness of these mechanical recovery methods; therefore, on water recovery

activities relies mostly on the surveillance information furnished directly to in-field recovery vessels.

On-water mechanical recovery can be hampered by weather restrictions, limitation to daylight

operations, time required for deployment, and relatively low operational efficiency. Thus, there will be

a lag time from the time of the spill to the time of conducting on-water mechanical recovery on a large

scale, reducing the window of opportunity to conduct on-water mechanical recovery. Despite the




Final Report


logistical and operational limitations to the effectiveness of mechanical recovery in these scenarios, it

remains a desirable response option since it is the only method that physically and immediately

removes oil from the environment. For that reason, mechanical recovery equipment will be maintained

on site by NBBL, and will be used in the event that weather conditions are favourable. All containment

and recovery operations will be conducted during daylight hours. Mechanical recovery equipment

should not be deployed in wind speeds exceeding 15m/s, wave heights exceeding 3m (10ft), or in

visibility less than 1m.

Overall containment and recovery operations will be managed by the onshore ERT, while a “support

vessel” on site coordinates the field activities and reports to the ERT.

4.5 Spill Response Equipment and Supplies

The typical response equipment required for mounting an operation consists of equipment for oil

containment in water and shoreline operations. The details of the said equipment to be maintained by

NBBL for the proposed project is presented in Table 12 below.

Final Report


While, the equipment held with response team will be available for initial and first response, the

additional requirements would be met from equipment held by participating companies and

government authorities being addressed by this Plan. The volume of the spill, in this case Tier 2 or

Tier 3, shall govern mobilisation of such companies and authorities.

4.6 Inspection, Maintenance and Training

All equipment required for spill response is to be maintained at highest degree of readiness. Oil spill

exercises are to be held twice a year as a to ensure that all those likely to be involved in any response

are familiar with the OSRP and their particular responsibilities, and to check that clean-up equipment

operates correctly. In addition, basic training is given to all new recruits at NBBL Bhola project,

covering procedures for reporting a spill, health and safety issues, and the use of basic equipment

(e.g. absorbents). Following each exercise, a debriefing session will be conducted and opportunities

to improve shall be identified, noted and the action to incorporate changes to plans recorded in NBBL

Incident reporting & safety management database with an identified individual, clearly articulated

actions and a completion time.

The OSRP will be updated as and when required. A major review of the plan will be carried out every

five years as progress and experience in oil spill response continues within the NBBL.

4.7 Oil Spill Response - Managing Health & Safety Risks

The health and safety of NBBL ERT and other personnel involved in onsite implementation of the oil

spill response activities, is identified to be paramount. Emergency spill response actions shall not be

undertaken in periods of extreme weather conditions or during night unless the situation has been

fully assessed by the NBBL ERT and is deemed safe.

4.7.1 Inhalation of hydrocarbon fumes

Inhalation of hydrocarbon fumes can cause headaches and nausea. These are short-term effects. If

there is any risk to the health and safety of the response team, they should not approach the site of

the spill until the vapours have dissipated.

4.7.2 Skin irritation by fuel

Fuel and oil can be a skin irritant. Severe reactions can lead to dermatitis. Clean-up personnel must

wear chemical-resistant boiler suits and rubber gauntlets to protect hands and arms during working

hours. Showers must be taken at the end of the working day.

4.7.3 Advice on health effects

The onsite Medical Practitioner is to advise NBBL on likely health effects of an oil spill. If symptoms

attributable to the spill occur, the doctor is to inform the nearest hospital, who will provide instructions

and advice. Care must be taken to avoid slips, trips and accidents from manual handling of the oil spill

response equipment. The ERT personnel supervising the oil spill response activities shall also pay

attention to signs of exhaustion or stress amongst the response crew.

4.7.4 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

NBBL shall maintain MSDS of the High Speed Diesel (HSD) to be transported in bulk through inland

waterways by barges. Copies of the MSDS shall be made available to oil spill response crew during

the event of an emergency.

National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP)

4.8.2 Situation Reports

Following initial notification of a spill and as soon as possible after the event must then provide regular

situation reports, which should follow the same format as the initial notification (Section 5.3.1).

Situation reports are to be filed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour intervals after the initial notification. After 24

hrs, situation reports are to be sent every 24 hrs until otherwise agreed NBBL and relevant

government authorities. All communications are to be recorded in the incident log books maintained

on the COC and Shapoorji Pallonji Corporate office in India.

4.9 Environmental Monitoring

The environmental monitoring of an oil spill is the responsibility of the NBBL Environmental Manager,

in liaison with the site Operations Manager and Corporate Environment Department. The

Environmental Manager will advise the Incident Controller if the sampling of water, sediments, flora

and fauna are required to monitor the impact of the spill.

In addition to the above, a comprehensive digital photographic record of the spill and its subsequent

clean-up is to be kept by the NBBL ERT. Digital photographs of the incident and clean-up should be

included in each situation report. Images and videos as appropriate are to be submitted by the

Incident Controller in his final report on the oil spill to the site Operations Manager.

4.10 Waste Disposal

A minimum of 100 empty fuel drums shall be designated for oil spill response. This stock of drums is

to be rotated each summer. Disposal of waste fuel and oil must follow the instructions given in the

Project ESMP. All fuel soaked absorbents (booms and/or pillows) or clothing shall be collected into




Final Report


empty 220 litre capacity drums, which have had their tops removed. Heavy drums are difficult to

handle - do not overfill. Seal drums with lid and ring. Label the drum ‘WASTE ABSORBENTS

CONTAMINATED BY FUEL’, with the appropriate hazard markings and hazard stickers.

Recovered fuels and contaminated materials (e.g. rags, absorbents and, where necessary, clothing)

shall be incinerated at the nearest waste disposal facility. Wastes not suitable for incineration

includes: petrol or petrol soaked materials; inflammable materials; plastics; and liquids or soaked

materials shall be disposed. All oily waste stored onsite shall be transported using proper manifests

and documentation which shall be maintained onsite.

4.11 Termination of Oil Spill Response

The termination of an oil spill response is to be decided by the site Operations Manager in

consultation with the Site Controller (IC), Incident Controller (IC) and the site Environmental Manager.

It is the responsibility of the IC to stand down the ERT. Considerations for terminating a response

include:

sensitive areas are no longer threatened;

no recoverable oil remains on the water;

only residual, immobile oil remains on the shorelines;

shoreline clean-up endpoints have been met.

All personnel involved in the response to a Tier 2 or Tier 3 spill shall undergo a medical check-up by

the site medical practitioner. Equipment must be washed and cleaned by the response team before

being put into storage. First remove as much oil as possible using absorbent pads. The pump set

shall be emptied of water. The IC is to reorder any materials consumed after checking the equipment

against the oil spill response equipment inventory. Arrangements for the repair and replacement of

damaged equipment are to be made with the Environmental Manager at the earliest opportunity.

4.12 Incident Closure Reporting
