Executive Summary
This report presents the Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the construction and
operation of a proposed ADIS ANAGAW WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY Project in OROMIA
REGIONAL STATE, OdO SHAKISO WOREDA, and specific location of Dambi Udo rural kebele.

The acquisition of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) license is a requisite under section low of the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Proclamation NO. 299/2002 which stipulates that a proponent must
seek an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) license “Notwithstanding any approval, permit or license
granted under this Act or any other law in force in Ethiopia” This requirement applies to all projects listed in the
Second Schedule of the Ministerial Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change order no.

The project has been proposed in favor of Adis Anagaw Wet-coffee Processing Industry. The promoter of the
project Adis Anagaw has proposed to establish the new coffee washing station project here in Dambi Udo rural
peasant Administrative (PA) at Odo Shakiso district of Oromia Regional State, at specific location Danbi
Village. The project site is found 534 km away south-east of Addis Ababa and 41 km from shakiso Town. The
size of the project area is 1.17 ha. The project of this wet coffee processing station total financial requirement is
estimated to be Birr 20million.

The article 3 of the Proclamation no. 300/2002; determining the modalities of protection, conservation and
promotion of environment and article 4 of the Proclamation No 513/2007 urban administration engaging in
collection, transportation, use or disposal of solid waste, in Ethiopia stipulates that every development project
shall be required to undergo Environmental Impact Assessment prior to its commencement.

Furthermore the Ministry of Oromia Investment Board order No. BIIO/122-8536/891/16 of 26/08/2016 by
nominates the list of consultant and giving the competency certification to facilitate consult works. In this
regards that Adis Anagaw Wet-coffee Processing Industry Project hired the consultancy firm, Miju
Investment and Environmental Consulting Service PLC to carry out the present Environmental and Social
Impact Assessment (ESIA).

Pursuant to the prevailing legal requirements as envisaged in the Environmental Management Coordination Act
(EMCA) and to ensure sustainable environmental management, the proponent undertook this ESIA study report
for the proposed wet coffee processing station; and incorporated substantial environmental aspects as advised by
Zonal EPA. This ESIA study report thus provides relevant information and environmental considerations on the
project proponent’s intention to seek approval from Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for the
development of the proposed project.

The major activities that have been done were practical field assessments and public consultations with the
community neighboring to the proposed project site, the promoter and pertinent stakeholders. By doing this,
around wet coffee processing station area three sub-local area in that rural peasant association dwellers of local
leaders and religion leaders were participate in community consultation to provide information on the activities
of the proposed coffee Industry that are either impact on the well-being of the residents or detrimental to their
lives.

Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires, evaluating of environmental parameters face-
to-face interviews and observations during site visits where necessary in the manner specified in proclamation
No. 1997, 299, 2002,and 2003 and impact Assessment and Audit, Regulations 2003, Potential negative impacts
and mitigation measures during construction, and operation phases of the proposed project.

The methodologies also used to conduct this ESIA study report were includes: a) Questionnaires b) Interviews c)
Field observations) digital photography e) Desktop analysis d) The public participation comments. Data for the
study were therefore obtained through field survey where the functional statuses of this proposed Coffee
Industry site data were recorded and GPS devise was equally used to determine their co-ordinates. Based on the
site inspection, analysis appraisal and the views of the neighboring community consulted the construction and
operation of the Adis Anagaw Wet-coffee Processing Industry Project in Dambi Udo, will has positive and
negative impact its own well-being life.

The project will have a negative and positive impact on environment during the construction, decommission and
operation phase. The potential adverse negative impacts are pollution of water sources, air quality deterioration,
noise and occupational accidents, sanitation issues and public health; public safety, risk of the spread of diseases
and fire risk

The potential positive impacts of this wet-coffee industry project include: employment generation and enhanced
income and livelihoods of surrounding inhabitant, increased food production and food security in the district and
the country, source of raw material for food industries, tax revenue for the local and national economy

Notwithstanding the conclusion that the proposed project would not more significantly alter existing
environment in construction phase in the vicinity of the site, appropriate mitigation measures would be
implemented through the construction and operation phases to ensure that physical and socio environment
impacts would be minimized. In order to ensure the proposed project sustainably Waste Management Plan
(WMP) and mitigation measures was planned environment cost budget birr 80, 000.

This report therefore, presents the results of the Impact Assessment in accordance with EPA, 1997 and EIA/ EA
regulations, 2000, 2003. The EIA evaluated the effectiveness of the environmental considerations undertaken by
the project proponent in safeguarding the environment to ensure sustainability. With due considerations to
sustainable development, it’s recommended that, the proposed project be approved by Woreda EPA Authority.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Rationale for an Environmental Impact Assessment
Ethiopia became one of the major coffee producing countries in the world with a world supply share of nearly
three per cent to date. Coffee constitutes the country’s largest export commodity that in 2007/08 reached 35.4 per
cent and in 2011/12 was at 26.4 per cent of the country’s export income. Consequently, the estimated size of the
population in the country dependent on coffee production and marketing well passed the 15 million mark and
can be estimated at 20 million. According to ICO, total annual production in 2012/13 was 486,000 tones, making
Ethiopia the fifth largest global coffee producer and the first largest in Africa. It should be noted that, as shown
in Table 2.4 (Annex 2), due to its large domestic consumption, Ethiopia is the tenth largest global coffee
exporter.

The Ethiopian coffee sector, is very important for the country and for its economic development due to the
reasons that: (i) as a major source of cash income and provider of employment, it supports millions of farming
families (for instance, those estimated as dependent on coffee production and marketing for livelihood are about
29 million) and, (ii) coffee is the first item in terms of revenue generated from export with a share of about 34
per cent. The coffee sector can contribute to the growth of the industrial sector share in the national GDP, owing
to its high potential of creating industrial roasting capacity that, at present, is rather marginal.

Industrialization has been embraced by many developing countries as a means of achieving structural transformation of
their economies. In Ethiopia industrialization has recently been embraced as a strategy for economic development,
employment creation and poverty eradication. As such, a policy framework was developed in 2008 for achieving
industrialization by the year 2020 dubbed “Vision 2020”. The major departure from previous policies on industrialization
is the encouragement of specifically selected industries through a broad array of support by the government over a 26-
year period, by which time Ethiopia will have achieved coffee industrialized status.

Coffee processing plants are among the major agro-based industries which are responsible for environmental
pollution special water body pollution. The conventional coffee processing industry by its nature of high
demands water to separate the outer red coffee skin and pulp and for the removal of the sugar contain mucilage
in fermentation processes. Due to this water demanding nature, most of wet coffee processing plants are usually
constructed very near to river or other water streams.

Thus the project will no more a significant impact during construction, whereas in operation or production
processing phase which have a negative impact on environment and socio-economic impacts.

Some of significant impact would be expected:-

The effluent consists of different sugars compounds (crude protein, crude fiber)

The Hydro organic compounds to crate BOD and COD competition in water bodies

Fermentation of sugars in fermentation tank high acidity generates.

7
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

Coffee by-products consists high nutrients like Nitrogen and phosphate which cause of various environmental
and public health problems.

It can also cause socio-economic impacts mainly due to human health problems and loss of biodiversity.

The downstream River uses of community’s are case impact on human health.

Cause of impact on various aquatic plants, animals and other organisms.

To minimize and even avoid this problem, understanding the nature of the coffee processing waste water is
fundamental question for the design of construction and using of appropriate and effective treatment
technologies.

This concept has become accepted as an essential feature of development with the aim of increasing well-being
and greater equity in fulfilling basic needs for this and future generations.

To this predict environmental impacts of the envisaged project activity should be providing an opportunity to
militate against negative impacts to enhance positive effects. In regard to this the environmental and social
impact assessment (ESIA) procedure of 299, 2002 and 300 was guide line for this ESIA Study.

An EIA may be defined as: a formal process to predict the environmental consequences of human development
activities and to plan appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce adverse effects and to augment positive
effects.EIA thus has three main functions:

 To predict problems,
 To find ways to avoid them, and
 To enhance mitigation measures.

Due to the unprecedented rate of environmental degradation in Ethiopia, the government realized the need to
curb the same and this led to the enactment of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999,
further formulated in 2003. The Act requires among other things that an Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) must be conducted on various categories of projects.

The purpose of the project is to incorporate the potential environmental (physical, ecological and cultural/socio-
economic) concerns and address them adequately at the inception (design) and construction stages in order to
guarantee sustainability in the operational phase of the coffee washing station. The Project is expected to raise
both the potentially positive and negative impacts likely to emanate from the proposed project. Integrating
Sustainable Environmental Management principles in the planning and implementation processes of to this
proposed project is a milestone in reducing/mitigating conflicts as well as enhancing control and revitalization of
the much-degraded environment

 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

This Report has been produced by Miju Investment and Environmental Consulting Service PLC that was
hired by the Project Promoter Adis Anagaw Wet-coffee Processing Industry Project to carry out the study.
The Consultancy firm is based in Ethiopia EIA regulation and has got strong background and knowledge in the
area of Environmental and Social Assessment, and a track record of over three years for conducting studies of
Environmental Impact Assessment for Development Projects in Ethiopia in general and particularly in oromia
regional state.

1.3 Public Participation and Scoping Report

A Scoping Report was produced by Miju Investment and Environmental Consulting Service PLC following
a public participation process, site investigation and consultations with certain specialists. That report includes
full details of the public participation activities and all the issues and concerns raised by the Interested and
Affected Parties. There was considerable support for the project, particularly from the people of Dambi Udo
Kebele who were looking for employment opportunities.

It was apparent from the public participation that many of the public concerns stemmed from the legacy of the
New wet-coffee processing plant at Dambi Udo Keble, which had a medium record of environmental
management – especially in relation to all aspects of constructions, decommission and operation phase
environmental effect. This influenced many people’s perceptions that did not have experience of a coffee
industry effect. However, the Scoping Report was compiled in response to a number of inputs: -

 the concerns of Interested and Affected Parties,

 the initial site investigation,
 consultations with specialists
 professional experience, and
 The TOR Checklist of Environmental Characteristics.

The Scoping Report should be read as an integral component of this ESIA as its content is not repeated here.
It outlined the key issues that would need to be assessed in the ESIA. The study was carried out between 8th
August and 22nd

The Scoping Report was submitted to Guji Zone EPA on 9 August 2024. The Scoping Report was made
available to the public through the Odo Shakiso Woreda EPA, Dambi Udo Kebele Council. Registered
Interested and Affected Parties were notified of its availability. No comments were received on that report,
suggesting that the Interested and Affected Parties were satisfied that it provides a comprehensive record of their
issues and concerns.

1.4 Approach to this Environmental AND SOCIAL Impact Assessment

In response to concerns raised during the Scoping Phase, further specialist studies were carried out and the
information fed into this ESIA report. All the key issues and potential impacts were then assessed.

More fine details for the development and specifications for the features of the proposed project have been given
in the copies of the architectural and site drawings attached in the separate document.

2.6 Project Construction

The proposed Coffee Washing Station will comprise of the following:

Excavation of the site to a level that will create a platform upon which the service station can be constructed.

Four water collection sup compartments above -ground Storage Tanks (AGST) will have concrete and slab
filling of 20cm thickness for circumferential joints and lap welded longitudinally. No longitudinal joint shall be
located at the bottom of the tanks. The above ground water tank will meet Ethiopia building standards as a
requirement.

There will be a reinforced concrete washing and final soaking channels which is not water leaked. The washing
and soaking will be located on the front side of pulpier machine and have manholes for product offloading and
dipstick checks. Remote fill of washing water and removal of fermented mucilage open cannels will be typical
incorporating spill containment to prevent accidental releases entering the environment. Single walled tank
installation with excavation lined with geo-fabric will be done to prevent migration of native soil into the backfill
material.

The installation of husk separate and mucilage filler points. The filling points will be positioned such that they
allow for easy maneuvering of the canals and be contained within open sumps so that in the event of a spillage
when connecting and disconnecting the pipes from the filler points, such spilled material would be contained
within the sumps.

Installation of piping for the distribution of the washing water from the rivers to the AGSTs and from the water
sump points to the water dispensing units. All subsurface piping will be contained within the secondary piping
and laid in reverse graded trenches on non-cohesive bedding material, so should product leak out of the pipes, it
will be contained within the secondary piping and drain back to the AGSTs.

The project will be constructed based on applicable standards of Ethiopia and any other standards which may be
incorporated.

The constructions will as well incorporate environmental guidelines, health and safety measures.

The project inputs are;

Construction raw materials will include sand, cement, stones, gravel/ ballast, metals, among others. All these will
be obtained from licensed dealers and especially those that have complied with the environmental management
guidelines and policies.

16
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

Construction machines will include machinery such as trucks, concrete mixers and other relevant construction
equipment. These will be used for the transportation of materials, mixing of materials and clearing of the
vegetation and resulting construction debris. Most of the machinery will use petroleum products to provide
energy.

Most construction materials will be sourced locally but where the contractor deems necessary will import from
other authorized countries especially the finishes.

A construction labor force of both skilled and non-skilled workers will be involved.

The project will begin after the National Environmental Management Authority (NEPA) issues an approval to
the proposed project and funds are released by the financiers. It is estimated to take approximately 6 months to
complete.

2.7 Project input and activities

The development of the proposed Coffee washing Station project will utilize but not be limited to the following
inputs:

a) Land - Land is necessary for sitting the wet coffee processing station. The proponent has acquired land for the
facility.

b) Water - The project area is well served by throw-out the year flow of water system.

c) Labour - during the construction and operation of the project. It is the intention of the proponent that this
labour is sourced from within the local community. This will be a direct economic benefit to them and will go far
in creating a friendly relationship between the project and the neighboring community.

d) Input during construction - The materials that shall be used include building sand, aggregates, natural stones;
hand cut construction stones, repainted LTZ-5 sheets. Others include concrete block for constructing selected
internal and external pavements, precast units for drains, PVC pipes for sewer and water reticulation, carbon

3. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

3.1. Environmental policy of Ethiopia
The Ethiopia’s Government environmental policy is geared towards sound environmental management for
sustainable development following “green Economy Policy. “This is envisaged in the principle of prudent use of
resource. This requires that the present day usage should not “compromise the needs of the future generations”.
The policy emphasis on environmental protection in order to ensure sufficient supplies for the present and future
generation the pone envisages the use of the “Polluter pays principle”, where one is expected to make good any
damage made to the environment. The policy seeks to ensure the empowerment and participation of the people
and their organizations at all levels in environmental management activities, raise public Awareness and promote
understanding of the essential linkage between environment and development. In addition to its guiding
principles, the policy addresses sect-oral and cross sect-oral environmental issues.

This envisaged of Wet-Coffee Industry Project will be governed by the relevant environmental policies,
strategies, proclamations to ensure environmental sustainability. The environmental policies, laws, legislations,
proclamations and institutional frameworks pertinent to this project are summarized and presented as follows.

3.1.1 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia

The Constitution is the supreme law of the country, whose provisions are providing guidance to all other
policies, regulations and institutional frameworks. The Constitution of the FDRE has various provisions that are
aimed to ensure the implementation of development project in an environmentally sustainable manner.

The concepts of sustainable development and environmental rights are enshrined in the Constitution of the
FDRE through articles 43 and 44, which states among others the right to development and right to live in clean
and healthy environment. Article 44(2) of the Constitution states that all persons who have been displaced, or
whose livelihood has been adversely affected as a result of state programs have the right to commensurate
monetary or alternative means of compensation including relocation with adequate State assistance . The
government shall pay fair compensation for property found on the land but the amount of compensation shall not
take into account the value of land. Moreover the Constitution states that, without prejudice to the right to private
property, the government may expropriate private property for public purposes subject to payment in advance of
compensation commensurate to the value of the property (Article 40(8). Moreover, Article 43 (2) dealing with
the rights to development states that nationals have the right to participate in national development and, in
particular, to be consulted with respect to policies and projects affecting the community.

Article 92 of the Constitution states that the design and implementation of any program and development
projects shall not damage or destroy the environment, and people have the right to be fully consulted and express
their views in planning and implementation of environmental policies and project

3.1.2 Ethiopia’s Climate Resilient Green Economy Strategy

To cope up with the prevailing environmental problems such as land degradation, rainfall fluctuation, increasing
temperature, flooding and speed up its socioeconomic development, the Government of Ethiopia has planned a
climate-resilient green economy as a development strategy. This development direction promotes environmental
protection, reducing fossil fuel consumption which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. With demand
19
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

for energy growing with the increasing population, industrialization and urbanization, the Government realized
that harnessing clean and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro and geothermal energy sources is
critical.

3.1.3 Industrial Policy and Strategy of Ethiopia

Ethiopia has set its own industrial policy and strategy as of august 2002.The industry development strategy of
the country has put in place the principles that primarily focus on the promotion of agricultural lead
industrialization, export lead development, and expansion of labor intensive industries these principles are
interdependent and inter linked to one another. The strategy has also set the other principles that clearly stated
the pivotal contribution of the private sector, the leadership role of the Government, and the integrated and
coordinated participation of the public at large in nurturing the strategy. This strategy refers to those industries
which are primarily involved in the production of manufactured foods.

3.1.5 Export sector policy program.

Ethiopia has the most attractive incentive strategies which make it selective location for investment. Land is
considered as state property and investors can easily obtain access to land to produce export production. The
Ethiopia bank lends 70% of the project capital at a rate of 6.5% to export projects, without restriction on
nationality.

3.2 Legislative Framework

3.2.1. Environmental impact assessment

As indicated in federal Democratic republic of Ethiopia proclamation No 299/2002, it is designed targeting at
EIA obligatory for categories of projects specified under a directive issued by the EPA. The law specifies that
every proponent of the project must prepare the EIA and either approve or disprove the project based on the real
environmental context.

3.2.2 Environmental pollution control

According to Ethiopia’s governmental environmental protection (EGEP) proclamation No. 300/2002,
Environmental pollution control primarily targeting to protect the right of all nations, to attain sustainable
healthy environment and to impose obligation to protect the environment of the country through green economy
policy. The regulation addresses the management of harmful squander: establishment of environmental quality
standard for air, water and soil and frequent monitoring of pollution.

The problem of improper handling of hazardous substances related to activities such as pest and insect, crop
diseased, fertilizer application management and industrial development are becoming a serious environmental
concern. In association with this, proclamation provides a basis from which the relevant environmental standard
applicable to Ethiopia can be developed, while sanctioning violation of these standards as criminally punishable
offence.

For the sake of an appropriate project implementation, environmental standards and related requirements,
inspectors belonging to EPA or the relevant regional environmental agency are empowered by the proclamation

20
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

to enter, without prior notice or court order, land premises at any time, at their discretion. Such wide power was
drive from Ethiopia’s serious concern and commitment to protecting the environmental from pollution.

3.2.3 Solid Waste Management

Proclamation no. 513/2007 aims to promote community participation in order to prevent adverse effects and enhance
benefits resulting from solid waste. It provides for preparation of solid waste management action plans by urban local
governments.

Therefore, Solid Waste Management Proclamation No. 513/2007 states (Article 5.1) that Urban Administrations shall
ensure the participation of the lowest administrative levels and their respective local communities in designing and
implementing their respective solid waste management plans. In Article 5.1 each Region or urban administration shall set
its own schedule and, based on that, prepare its solid waste management plan and report of implementation. Measures
related to waste handling and disposal:

Any person shall collect waste in an especially designated place and in a manner, which does not affect the health of the
society.

No person shall dispose solid, liquid or any other waste in a manner which contaminate the environment or affects the
health of the society.

3.2.4 Prevention of Industrial Pollution

As a follow up to Proclamation 300/2002, a regulation to prevent industrial pollution was developed by the
Federal Environmental Protection Authority and endorsed by the Council of Ministers to ensure compatibility of
industrial development with environmental conservation.

This Regulation confers important obligations to industrial operators. A factory subject to the regulations is
obliged to prevent or minimize the generation and release of pollutants to a level not exceeding the
environmental standards. The regulation also obliges industrial operators to handle its equipments, inputs and
products in a manner that prevents damage to the environment and to human health. Moreover, the regulations
urge industrial operators to prepare and implement an emergency response system of their own. On the other
hand industrial operators are required to prepare and implement internal environmental monitoring systems and
keep written records of the pollutants generated and the disposal mechanisms used to get rid of the pollutants. In
relation to it, factories are required by the regulation to submit annual compliance reports with the provision of
the regulations.

3.3 Institutional Framework

Environmental organs Establishment proclamation, proclamation No. 295/2002 was enacted in 2002. This
proclamation repealed proclamation for the Establishment of the EPA, proclamation No. 9/95. According to this
proclamation, EPA is accountable to the prime minister. This proclamation has also established the
Environmental protection Council (EPC) oversees EPA’s activities, as well as the activities of sectorial agencies
and environmental units with respect to environmental management. It also ensures coordination among sectorial
ministries and agencies on environmental matters. This proclamation also mandates the EPA to undertake studies
and research, to develop action plans etc., in the area of washing station waste management.

3.3.3 Regional Environmental Agencies (REA)

Under proclamation No. 925/2002, all regional states are expected to establish their own environmental organs.
Following this, regions and two city administration have established their respective environmental organs and
the other regional states are in the process. Regional environmental organs are vested in, among others, the
responsibility in their respective region.

3.3.4 Zonal Environmental protection organs

ZONAL ORGANS is one of the most administrative regarding EPA. The Zonal administration is the highest
decision maker organ next to regional Authority. Zonal administration is accountable for regional Authority
According to Ethiopia’s government governance structure; zonal offices are headed by cabin members.
Therefore, ZONAL Rural land and Environmental protection organ is the middle administrative level
responsible for monitoring and evaluating environmental issues of the washed station

3.3.5 District
The highest administrative structure at district level is the District council consisting of the administrative arm
and a cabinet. Therefore, the Woreda environmental issues were seen at district level. The most policies, laws

locally selected health centuries and another four. The main responsibilities of the kebeles include promoting
rural development, Executing government policies and facilitate their implementation and conducting tax
collection. Furthermore, they have a mandate to visit development and correct their negative impacts through
advising the investors. Therefore kebele administrative office, will conduct such activities for social and
environmental sustainability of the established washed station

3.4 Summary of the Relevant World Bank’s safeguard Policies

On June 13th 2003, the Minister of Environment, Natural Resources and Wildlife promulgated the Environment
(Impact Assessment and Audit) regulations 2003 (EIA/EA Regulations) under section 147 of the EMCA. These
regulations provide the framework for carrying out EIAs and EAs in Ethiopia

OP/BP 4.04 Natural Habitat

This policy recognizes that the conservation of natural habitats is essential to safeguard their unique biodiversity
and to maintain environmental services and products for human society and for long-term sustainable
development.

The proposed Industrial zone Development Project activities will be implemented in an agricultural land and is
not likely to adversely impact any of the Natural Habitats. This project is not therefore going to trigger OP/BP
4.04.

OP/BP 4.36 Forests

The objective of this policy is to assist borrowers to harness the potential of forests to reduce poverty in a
sustainable manner, integrate forests effectively into sustainable economic development and protect the vital
local and global environmental services and values of forests.

No forest or shrubs of major biodiversity significance will be cleared during the land preparation and
construction of the industrial zone development project and other ancillary development activities associated
with the provision of infrastructures and various utilities.

This policy under the sub-project will not therefore trigger OP/BP 4.36.

OP/BP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources

The objective of this policy is to assist countries to avoid or mitigate adverse impacts of development projects on
physical cultural resources. For purposes of this policy, “physical cultural resources” are defined as movable or
immovable objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, natural features and landscapes that have
archaeological, paleontological,

The Occupational Safety and health act, 2007 applies to all workplaces where any person is at work, whether
temporarily or permanently. The purpose of this Act is to: Secure the safety, health and welfare of persons at
work; and Protect persons other than persons at work against risks to safety and health arising out of, or in

23
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

a) Safety
Workers must be trained on personal safety and how to handle waste emission from washing station. They
should be provided with Personal Protective equipment which should be worn at all times.. There should be a
toxic acidic contamination risk preparedness plan clearly spelt out and implemented. Adequate protection close
should be installed at every pump, in the office, escape route clearly marked and an assembly point provided and
marked.

b) Health
Associated with wet coffee industry are vector borne diseases such as malaria. Conditions favoring the
proliferation of vectors include stagnant waste water in disposal thank, drains, reservoirs and seepage sites.
Furthermore, lack of sanitary and waste water treatment facilities as well as increased incidence of human-water
contact will exacerbate the problem of vector-borne diseases. Wastewater generated from this process is acidic,
rich in suspended dissolved and organic matter. This processing activity in the project area could affect public
health and safety in a negative manner; because of appropriate mitigation measures are not implemented.
Specific risks include:

Spinning sensation, eye, ear and skin irritation, stomach pain, Nausea and breathing problem among the residents
of nearby areas and risk of increase of water-related diseases from standing wastewater in abandoned borrows
areas and seepage.

c) Welfare
Every occupier shall be provide and maintain so as to be readily accessible, a first-aid box or cupboard of the
prescribed standard. The occupier of a workplace shall cause a thorough safety and health audit of his workplace
to be carried out at least once in every period of twelve months by a safety and health advisor, who shall issue a
report of such an audit containing the prescribed particulars to the occupier on payment of a prescribed fee and
shall send a copy of the report to the Zonal and district EPA.

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENT (BIO-PHYSICAL & SOCIO-

ECONOMIC).
4.1. Project description
The agricultural based Ethiopia economy is mostly dependent on coffee, hotly clutters, and Etc and our project is
another income to the society and country`s foreign exchange earnings. No other products or services in Ethiopia
has earned as much the labor intensive tree crop also provides much employment in rural areas and is the means
of lived hood for people in Ethiopia. It will greatly contribute to the growth of the country is economy.

Despite its importance to the majority of the population to the economy, its quality has remained low. This is
mainly due to constraints associated to the an adequacies of natural water the need for additional investment in
this sector.

The economic benefits earned by other countries are proof that the rights establish and running of this industry
could be taken as a major basis for a storage economy in Ethiopia.

24
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

Coffee industry could be one of the major areas of investment in building the country economy. Among different
approaches, one possible alternative to increase the quality natural mineral water products would be the
establishment of coffee processing industry.

Therefore, the proposed project is aimed at establishing a quality coffee processing unit in this area. According
to the project`s proposal, the project in proposed to sustainably enhance the production and productivity of
agriculture mineral sector for improvement of the living conditions of the people. The project area is
characterized by midland to lowland agro climatic zone and is suitable for coffee processing industry.

The following baseline information details on environmental, ecological and bio-physical characteristics of the
proposed development site which will provide for a benchmark for continued monitoring and assessment of the
impact of the proposed activities on the environment. Coffee Industry is an important global industry and trade
that has important socio-economic implications for communities and countries that are endowed with suitable
natural resources.

4.2 Demographic & Economical Characteristics of the study area

Odo Shakiso district is located geographic coordinates 5o45'0.00” N Latitudes and 38o55'0.01” E Longitudes
(Guji Zone land use office). These Odo Shakiso wereda has a total population of 135,862, of whom 67,744 are
men and 68,118 women; 6,745 or 4.97% of is population are urban dwellers as at 2007 with Oromo as the
predominate tribe (CSA, 2007). The area lies within the dilla to shakiso district all-weather road at a mean level
range from 1700-2000 meters above sea level and most the rivers which is found in Odo Shakiso district is one
the most popular high land area of water there have been an important coffee processing quality products

Agricultural development in Odo Shakiso district just as in other fertile lands is good due to high rainfall and the
menace of wildlife and pests. In the District crop production has been made quite reliable and evenly distributed
in the recent years the district has been no experiencing crop failure of almost 90% thus rendering the majority of
people self-suffice of food production in the district.

The people of Odo Shakiso district are engaged in various economic activities for their livelihoods. Whereas the
majority is engaged in agriculture, especially cereal crops, coffee as cash crops and livestock keeping still
remains the income earner in the district. People practice mixed farming because livestock acts as a buffer during
poor rain seasons. Most of what is harvested is consumed domestically, and there is hardly any net surplus. The
District is non-famine-prone; there is no supplemented with external food aid.

Major commercial activities like wholesale, retail shop keeping, process of food products, honey farming
harvesting and refining are other economic activities taking place in urban centers and market places. Coffee
ginning, till a major commercial activity has greatly declined due to worsening climatic conditions

4.3 Project site physical environment

The project site is located on Dambi Udo,in line with mormora river, Odo Shakiso district, OROMIA
REGIONAL STATE. It is a rural area, where most of the people live of agriculture. The Odo Shakisois
situated in 36 kilometers of all-weather roads and 25 kilometers of dry-weather roads, for an average road
density of 129 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers (According to a 2004)

25
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

The project established with an area of 1.17 ha. There is no passing through site area. Due care has been taken
while identifying the project site to avoid habitations, forest lands and vicinity of wildlife sanctuaries, national
parks and other sensitive areas. There are no industries in the vicinity of the site area and no residential houses
either in the radius of 4km meters.

4.4 Bio-physical environment

This section gives in details the description of existing environment and describes the present land use of the
project and area contiguous to it.

4.4.1 Physical environment

The site is situated on a sloping hillside with a dominantly loamy soil. There is natural vegetation some
plantation consisting of grasses and .

4.4.2 Climate
The climate of the district is tropical with very surfeit and unreliable rainfall. Most of the areas are generally wet
to moderate leading to high rate of perception. This combined with unreliable rainfall; limits intensive and
meaningful land use and related development activities. The annual rainfall ranges between 1500 -1700mm with
70 percent reliability. The long rains come in April/May and short rains in November/December. The short rains
are more reliable while long rains are usually unreliable. The periods falling between January to March are
usually dry. The topography of the landscape is not influences the amount of rainfall received. The district
experiences moderate temperatures throughout the year, which ranges from 240c to 280c.The hot months are
between Januarys to April.

4.4.3 Soils
Soil is an important non-renewable natural resource that supports life, and is especially significant because of
their importance of agriculture. Soil patterns are influence by geology, land forms altitude and climate. There are
four (4) major soil types in the central part of the district. Two (2) of which are found in the central part of the
District. The distribution of soil types in different CSA provide information that may facilitate planning of that
use and management. Soils vary in their physical and chemical characteristic, being either saline or acidic or
both.

The site selected for the implementation of the wet-Coffee processing Industry site in Odo Shakiso district has
little natural flora, and the existing land use at the beginning of the project included subsistence crops like
bamboo trees, Barley and Enset and coffee. The site also presents different types of bamboo trees and indigenous
trees that can, on the wildlife point of view, shelter rodents and lizards or serve as ecological niche for various
types of birds.

4.4.5. Wild life resources

The area is a suitable habitat for a wide diversity of fauna some of which attract tremendous conservation
interest. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red Data Book there is
non-threatened large mammals found in the Odo Shakiso district of project area.

4.4.6. Vegetation
This type of vegetation is found in the project at all level of altitude areas of Odo Shakiso district and its
surrounding. It is characterized by species such as Croton macrostachyus, Croton megalocarpus, Dombeya
spp.,Combretumcollinum, Combretummollemeliavolkensii. Other species are Vitexdoniana,Euphorbia spp.,
Sclerocaryabirreaamongothers. In this type of vegetation exotic species such as Eucalyptus species, Grevillea
robusta, Mangiferaindicaand occasionally bananas are seen in project area of the district.

absolute peace surrounding the project area and district as well.

4.5.7. Public attitudes and perception

Public consultation and participation is a continuous process, which identifies and discusses the key issues and
impacts of the propose project. Views from local leaders , surrounding institution and development partners who
in one way or another would be affected or have interest were sought interviews and public meetings.

Public participation includes both the information exchange (determination and consolation) and collaborative
forms of decision- making and participation. Dissemination refers to transfer of information from project
establishment the affected population.

While consolation generally refers to join project authorities and the affected population serving as a linkage for
transfer of information and sharing of ideas, public participation is an ongoing process throughout the
implementation of the project on an event. The level of information which is disseminated or the issues of which
consultation takes place vary with the progress in the project process. During the field assessment, the team has
made public consultation with the affected community households.

The discussions were focused on the following major issues.

5. PROJECT ENVIROMENTAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT AND PROPOSED

MITIGATION MEASURES.
5.1 Project ESIA assessment criteria.
This section provides an introduction to the assessment of potential impacts and the criteria used in making each
assessment are explained.

Firstly, in line with national practice in EIAs, a broad definition of “Environment” is adopted, which
incorporates both bio-physical and socio-economic components. The EA Policy of Ethiopia seeks to achieve a
balance between negative and positive impacts and between biophysical impacts and social and economic gains
to society. Therefore, both negative and positive impacts on the environment will be considered below. To the
extent that it is practically possible, this report will recommend measures to mitigate negative impacts and
optimize (or enhance) positive impacts.

This assessment is made on the basis of the current proposals. Should these proposals change in any material
way, then some of the assessments below may have to be reconsidered. In Section 8, for each activity with the
potential for environmental impacts, a discussion of the impact is presented. Where practically possible, the
discussion is followed by a table that summarizes the assessment according to specific criteria as follows

The impacts of the proposed alteration project on the environmental elements are both positive and negative. The
magnitude of each impact is described in terms of being significant, minor or permanent, short-term or long
term, specific (localized) or widespread, reversible or irreversible. Most of the impacts have been addressed in
the proactive design of the project and other mitigations can only be guaranteed through active and responsible
management committed to the propositions of the environmental management plan. The assessment criteria of
the significant impacts are as shown in the table below:

Table 4: Assessment criteria of significant impacts

Key Type of impact Key Type of impact

++ Major positive impact. + Minor positive impact
-- Major negative impact - Minor negative impact
O Negligible/zero impact No No change

R Reversible Ir Irreversible
Sh Short term L Long term
T Temporary P Permanent

5.2 Assessment of Bio-physical & Socio-economic impacts.

The production processing system of Wet-coffee Processing plant consists of four major operations related to
Waste generation:-

 Project construction phase

 Reds Cherry Reception and Sorting
 Red Cherry Pulping,
 Washing and Fermentation
 Final Washing and Soaking
 Drying

Through the above processing system the project annual washed coffee production processing which assert large
amount coffee industry waste effluent were generated and associated negative impact on to environmental would
be expected.

The project has conventional type of processing plan which required high amount of water for its processing
function. This conventional wet coffee processing plant, the actual water requirement is 80,000-93,000 litter
water for 1tons of red cherry were processing.

Base on this bench mark the consultant was estimation the amount of project annual water requirement based on
owner’s annual red cherry requirement plan and in the meantime predicted the amount and the type of coffee
processing industry waste by the project.

This is also important for the project owner’s to allocate environmental cost budget for the gross waste
management mitigation measure, its eco- solution of the business and reduction of the environmental cost. Here,
therefore, the detailed information the amount of waste effluent estimated is shown below table-5.

Table 5: The amount of waste generated in Red Cherry Coffee Pulping Industry

Total Liquid waste Litter 37,604,736 37,604,736

It is concluded that, this coffee industry 1,123,200 red cherry processing 494.208 tons mucilage contaminated
solid waste (coffee skin& pulp) and 37,604,736 litters of sugar contain of mucilage and evaporate water lagoon
liquid waste will been generate due to its high water demanding nature of the project machine. Those generated
solid and liquid waste is containing with a very high potential of environment pollutants (effluent), when it
disposing to the downstream of water course with no any treatment is potential negative impact in washed coffee
processing industry. Such coffees wastes are nowadays become series problem on receiving environment
especially on water bodies and human health. The detailed type & nature of waste and its impact is well
described in the next section.

5.2. Impact assessment on Bio-physical environment.

In construction projects, there are usually some wastes on the site. Removal and disposal of such refuse and
other related wastes comes in handy. The waste should be disposed into the approved dumpsites.

In addition to this the proposed project would expected wastes are dust emissions, solid waste, liquid waste and
fuel, oil and lubricant and the associated maximum predicted ground level contamination would still comply
with the relevant environmental impact in all phase of construction, decommission and operations.
Consequently, it is considered that the proposed development would have a negligible impact on particulate
emissions and concentrations in the vicinity of the site.

5.2.1. Impacts on Physical Environment

5.2.1.1 Impact on Soil

In Ethiopia, up to 400 tons of fertile soil per hectare is lost annually from land with insufficient vegetation cover
as well as from land where no effective soil conservation practices have been carried out. Soil erosion has caused
several direct and indirect negative impacts. It has led to the degradation of agricultural land and consequent
reduction in agricultural production thus exposing the population to food insecurity.

33
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

During the construction of the houses and access roads, the clearing of vegetation and the excavation works may
lead the top soil underneath to be threatened by wind and water erosion. The erosion factor will increase in steep
areas. In the main time, the emergence of soil erosion may cause increasing of sedimentation load and
deterioration of the quality of rivers or streams nearby. Considering that soil erosion linked to deforestation and
overgrazing practices creates some environmental concerns in Ethiopia, this aspect should be managed properly
and mitigation actions should be undertaken during the construction phase.

5.2.1.2. Impacts on Air Quality

The construction and operation activities on the site will result to increased dust and gaseous emissions. Some
construction machinery and trucks, including small vehicles generate hazardous exhaust fumes such as Carbon
Oxides (Cox), Sulphur Oxides (SOx) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). Dust particles as caused by wind and vehicles
suspends in the air mostly during dry spells. Such dust and gases have direct negative impact to the quality of air
hence affects animal/ human health.

The following negative impacts are also associated with the construction and others phases of the proposed
project. According to conducted environmental impact assessments in the proposed project area, this project will
have the impacts including;-

during cutting, collecting, and burning natural trees(shrubs and bushes)

Movement of heavy- duty vehicles for the transportation of building materials ( sand, stone, cement, nails, can
and others construction materials

Daily movement of farm machineries from the beginning up to the of the project to accomplish their daily tasks
will affect air quality by releasing carbon monoxide.

These all activities have their own distinct negative impact on environmental pollution because they release high
carbon monoxide and others polluted elements on air, which is harmful for animals, human, and plants as well.

The implementation of the project would also have short –term adverse effect on air quality due to dust and air
emission released by the machineries involved in the clearing of R.O.W. from shrubs, bush, and perennial crops.
Road construction will also cause temporary dust pollution in the area.

5.2.2. Impacts on Biological Environment

5.2.2.1. Flora
Ethiopia is one of the biodiversity richest parts of the world. The Ethiopian flora is estimated to contain nearly
7000 species of higher plants, of which about 12% are endemic. The vegetations types with the highest portion
of endemics are the woodlands followed by the Afro alpine and sub afro alpine. Ethiopia is the centre of origin
for various crop species including Arabica Coffee, teff, false banana and sorghum (State of the Environment
Report for Ethiopia – August 2003).

The clearing of trees, shrubs and bushes during the construction period may negatively affect the flora genetic
resources in the project area.

34
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

The loss of natural vegetation cover may also cause habitant disturbance and favors the expansion of alien
invasive species in the study area. Alien invasive species usually lead to ecosystem disruptions by destroying or
displacing indigenous species through rapid reproduction and expansion. During the construction period forest
encroachment may increase in the project area due to the opening of new access roads and to natural vegetation
cut for clearance.

5.2.2.2. Fauna
Ethiopian has the most important endemic and epidemic wildlife, and we can consider them as natural resources
of the country. Out of 277mammals 31, out of 862 birds16, out of 201 reptiles 10, and out of 63 amphibians 34
are endemic to Ethiopia. Out of the bird`s species, 31are globally threatened. There are 5 mammals and 3 birds
found endangered in Ethiopia (state of the Environment Report for Ethiopia- August 2003). In the study area,
some wild animals may be affected during land preparation period. Their shelters may be disturbed and exposed
to poaching by the construction workers or go away from their original locations.

5.3 Assessment on environmental Pollution

The construction activities on the site will result to increased dust and fermented toxic emissions. Such dust and
toxic mucilage have direct negative impact to the quality of air and hence animal/human health. Hooting of the
involved workers will generate noise and skin irritation which may have effect to the neighborhoods. Fermented
and toxic mucilage as drain to the downstream rivers and water body may cause to the aquatic ecosystem.

5.4. Assessment on sewage and Effluents

Effluent/sewage resulting from sanitary facilities and waste water from the proposed developments is of
significant concern with respect to the environment. It should always drain effectively into the available
sewerage treatment system via well designed and laid canals and septic tank networks. Options are being
explored to install a “pollution solution” system. The Pollution Solution system is an Effective Micro-Organism
(EMO) application and husk and fermented mucilage separator which separates mucilage from wash down water
collected from the under disposal area of a coffee washed station in two different tanks, and allows the waste
water to be discharged to sewer, while separating the solid material and/or contaminants in a separate tank for
collection.

5.5. Socio- economic Impact Analysis

5.5.1. Impact on Cultural, Archeological and Historical Resources

The project is expected to have no impact on the cultural and historical resources of the area; no known historical
and cultural site is included in the project area. Where there are accidental ‘’ chances of finding’’ of some
archaeological artifacts on the line route, construction and others field workers and surveyors shall report to the
environmental monitoring bodies or Environmental protection, forest and climate change authority offices of the
woreda, that will then report to the Authority for research and conservation for cultural Heritages(ARCCH) for
further investigations.

35
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

5.5.2. Impacts on Health and Safety

I. Dust (Husk) and Noise

General construction activity and traffic, will lead to an increase in dust and noise. This will have an effect on
people`s health, dust can cause respiratory problems and noise, when loud and frequent, can cause hearing
problems amongst both workers and local residents, and it can cause stress.

II. Infectious Diseases

Intestinal diseases, hepatitis, respiratory diseases (including TB) and plague are diseases that can occur in
situations where a large work force is not provided with the proper sanitary and work place facilities. Contractor
work camps shall be maintained in a in a clean and healthy condition as prescribed by international worker
health standards. Human waste will be treated properly and disposed of by the existing camp sewerage system,
which will be maintained in good working order.

A clean and protected water supply should be provided. Kitchen wastes must be burned or taken off-site, to
prevent a large rodent population and the breeding of disease carrying flies and other insects.

Health education will include the proper handling and storage of foodstuffs, and all living quarters and work
places will be adequately ventilated to prevent respiratory diseases. Workers should be screened for tuberculosis.

5.6. Impact assessment of Disposal of Solid Materials

Construction activities create solid wastes that need to be disposed. Such wastes include:

• Excavated materials from the earth works;

• Timber from used formwork;
• Paints, lubricants and petroleum wastes;
• Containers, cement paper bags and other packaging materials;
• Metal, glass, plastic containers and other unwanted materials; and food remains

Soil will be excavated around the work area; the excavation works to level the site and to come up with the
basement will result in the generation of the excavated material. These wastes may direct impacts on the
neighboring premises.

6. PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURE.

Mitigation measure aims to prevent adverse impact from happening and to keep that do occur within acceptable
level. Opportunities for impact mitigation will occur through all project cycle. The purpose of mitigation is to
identify measures that safeguard the environment and community affected by the proposal mitigation is both
creative and practical phase of environmental impact assessment process. It seeks to find the best ways and
means of avoiding, minimizing and remedying of the project impact.

In terms of loss of some biodiversities in the area, the promoter will offer priorities to local people to involve in
the project works and benefit from. Generally, the project will assist in providing alternative to the livelihood of
the affected community by encouraging farmers to start cattle fattening activities using crop by products of

36
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

animal feed. The described adverse impact can be undertaking the following mitigation measures. In order to
encourage the farmers the project proponents will supply by products to the farmer.

6.1. Social benefits

6.1.1 Employment opportunities

The proposed development will generate both direct and indirect employment. It will directly offer jobs on
temporary basis during the construction. Not less than 8 permanent skilled employments and 50-70 casual labors
are expected to be involved in construction phase and operation phase.

6.1.2. Gender equity and work opportunities

Women efficiency I carrying out collecting, drying and packing make them suitable for the coffee processing.
This gender specific opportunity will address the historical inequality burden of un employment on women.

6.2. Economic benefits

6.2.1. Contribution to national economic development

As noted earlier in this report, coffee plays a pivotal role in economic growth and development. The foreign
currency that project can bring by contributing to exporting coffee product will have great roles in contribution
to national economic development. Apart from this contribution to the GDP such export oriented project will
have significant contribution for an other sectors. Besides the above financial resource induced economic
enhancement contribution, the project will be an opportunity for the introduction of new technology to the
country. Since the industry is a technology intensive enterprise, which involves many agricultural technologies it
is believed that the project will add additional knowledge to the local coffee producers and at the same time it
will create the opportunity and experience to the local experts on the sectors. The establishment of a wet coffee
processing station in this area will serve to improve accessibility of red cherry coffee market to area of coffee
producers near to the project area thus boosting the economy.

6.3 Pre-construction phase Mitigation Measures

The pre-construction activities are mainly activities related to site clearing, constriction materials and machine
transportation. The area of the establishment site is about 1.17hec. For which the machine occupies few square
meters.

Ensuring that all government and concerned agency requirements and procedure related to EIA are competing
with.

Preparation of detailed designs for the project layout which incorporates specific features aimed at minimizing
adverse impacts in and enhancing beneficial impacts.

Preparation of contract documents which contain appropriate clause to allow control of impacts arising from
contracting the projects.

Creating awareness on the value of environmental protection among the workers engaged on the construction
activities, vibrant sound and noise should be managed and controlled to minimal levels. There should be

37
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

managed and controlled to minimal levels. There should be application of sound construction guidelines
destruction.

Carefully excavate store and reuse of top soil for the economic and environmental purposes

Limit clearing and soil disturbance around project site.

At the project will be responsible for handling the above issue before the commencement of the construction, the
project owner will heir an environmentalist and engineering consultancies that facilitate the activities and enter
institutional relationship for the environmental management and other constriction activity as well. The Oromia
Environmental Protection, Forest and Climate change Biro will also be responsible for ensuring its own
environmental requirements are full met in the EIA study reports.

6.4. Construction phase Mitigation Measures

Limit clearing and soil disturbance in the site in a such way that Acacia trees are maintained

limit and control movements of rock and construction machineries during construction in manner that trucks will
not damage vegetation

Record the type and number of trees and shrubs cut in order to replace after construction is completed.

Create awareness for the local people and workers in every opportunity about the importance of vegetation cover
for soil and water conservation.

Grade disturbed area and restore landscape.

Create awareness on the value of environmental protection among the workers engaged on the construction
activities, vibrant sound and noise should be managed and controlled to minimal levels. There should be
application of sound construction guidelines.

Minimizing the movement of the vehicle and construction machineries particularly outside the premise of the
project site to avoid further destruction

Carefully excavate store and reuse of top soil for the economic and environmental purpose

Limit clearing and soil disturbance around project site.

6.5. Operational Phase Impact Mitigation Measure

6.5.1. Waste Water Mitigation Measure

During the operational phase, the two major by products are waste water and parchments/husks. Therefore, we
have proposed the following methods of mitigation measures for these expected impacts.

 Construction of adequate and efficient Disposal system

 Construction of fermented mucilage interceptor septic tank
 Use Biofiltration wetland waste treatment technology

38
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

 Use By-product for commercial purpose

 Use by product as compost/organic fertilizer for local farmers.

6.5.2. Minimization of Air Quality Impacts

To minimize or avoid any adverse consequence of visibility loss due to dust creation during operation, the
practical option is to sprinkle water on fresh construction spoil, in line with EHS and OHS guidelines, applicable
for project staff and contractors.

this will also be achieved through proper planning of transportation of materials to be used during construction
of the proposed project to ensure that vehicles fills are increased in order to reduce the number of trips done or
the number of vehicles on the road.

6.5.3. Minimization of Noise and Vibration

Significance of noise and vibration impacts depends on whether the project would increase noise and vibration
levels above the existing ambient levels by introducing new sources of noise and vibration. Noise and Vibration
impacts would be considered significant if the project would result in the following:

A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels (more than five) project vicinity above levels existing
without the project.

A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in project vicinity above levels existing
without the project.

Exposure of persons in generation of, noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or
noise, or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies.

Exposure of persons in generation of, excessive ground- borne vibration

The owners of the proposed project shall put in place several measures that will mitigate noise pollution and
vibration arising during the construction phase.

Consult with the surrounding community on the permissible noise levels and best working hours.

Use quiet equipment (i.e. equipment designed with noise control elements).

Coordinate with relevant agencies regarding all construction activities in the project area.

The following noise suppression techniques will be employed to minimize the impact of temporary construction
noise at the project site.

Install portable barriers to shield compressors and other small stationary equipment where necessary.

Prescribe noise reduction measures if appropriate e.g. restricted working hours, transport hours and noise
buffering

39
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

Limit pickup trucks and other small equipment to a minimum idling time and observe a common sense approach
to vehicle use, and encourage workers to shut off vehicle engines whenever possible.

Construct mainly during the day. The time that most of the neighbors are out working.

6.5.4. Minimization of Health and Safety

In order to reduce the occupational health and safety impacts during the construction phase of the proposed
industrial project, the promoter through the contractor is committed to adherence to the occupational health and
safety rules and regulations stipulated in occupation safety and health Act, 2002. Since long exposure to
vehicular emissions may result in irreversible effects on human health, it is advisable that the proponent should
ensure that:-

o Employees undergo regular medical check-ups (every six months)

o Wastes are treated with Effective Micro-Organism Bio-chemicals
o Construction of disposal septic tank
o Other safety measures that should be undertaken include:-
o Provide protective clothing to employees
o Install first aid facilities
o Provide washrooms for the facility workers
o Aware the workers the about the consequence of the solid wastes and proved west collection bins.
o Recycle coffee washing water to minimize liquid wastes.

6.5.5. Minimization of Solid Waste

The promoters of the wet coffee processing industry, through the contractor shall put in place measures to ensure
that construction materials requirements are carefully budgeted and to ensure that the amount of construction
materials left on after construction is kept minimal.

The further recommendation is that the proponent should consider the use of recycled or refurbished construction
materials. Purchasing and using once used or recovered construction materials will lead to financial savings and
reduction of the amount of construction materials debris disposed of as waste.

Additional recommendations for minimization of solid waste include:

Use of durable, long lasting materials that will not need to be replaced as often, thereby reducing the amount of
construction waste generated over time.

Provision of facilities for proper handling and storage of construction materials to reduce the amount of waste
caused by damaged or exposure to the elements

Use of building materials that have minimal packaging to avoid the generation of excessive packaging waste;

Use of construction materials containing recycled content when possible and in accordance with accepted
standards

40
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

Adequate collection and storage of waste on site and safe transportation to the disposal sites and disposal
methods at designed area shall be provided.

The proponent through the contractor will also make sure that the construction wastes generated are disposed to
the approved dump site by the private waste management company that will be contracted.

6.6. Minimization of Occupational Health and Safety Impacts

During decommissioning/ coffee pulling process/phase, risk of accidents and illness as a result of demolition
activities shall be mitigated by ensuring that appropriate health and safety measures are applied in all activities;
fence all unsafe and dangerous areas; and continue to monitor environmental health at all main receptor points
around the site until the site handover. High levels of dust concentration resulting from demolition or
dismantling works will be minimized as follows:

Rehabilitating or stabilize all disturbed areas through tree planting (reforestation) and landscaping

Avoiding dusty activities for example loading and dumping on windy days; and

Continuing to monitor and minimize the extent of release of dust in the surrounding area.

7. CONSULTATION
7.1 Introduction
Proclamation (Art. 3(1)) of EPA, 2002; EPA, 1997 and subsequent EIA/EA Regulations of 299/2002 requires
any project to carry out environmental impact assessments for development proposals. According to EIA/EA
Regulations, 2003 such studies have to incorporate consultation and public participation (CPP) process.

EIA process is largely determined by effective consultation and public participation (CPP) which basically
provides a cornerstone for project planning and successful implementation. Consultation and Public participation
helps to:

Facilitate involvement and participation of affected persons throughout the project cycle.

Ensures a sense of responsibility and commitment towards implementing the proposed EMP.

CPP should be undertaken mainly during project construction, decommission and operations phases. It should
involve the affected persons, lead agencies, private sector, among others. The methodology for CPP may
include; Meetings and technical workshops with affected communities, Questionnaires, Interviews, Notices

It is the responsibility of the project proponent to adequately ensure effective distribution of the information to
the affected persons to militate against unnecessary delays in decision making and project implementation

41
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

7.2 Public Participation Process

7.2.1 Consultation with Interested and Affected Parties

The intent of the Miju Investment and Environmental Consulting Service PLC strategy has been to identify
and incorporate a range of community values to ensure that the project was appropriately adapted to local
context. The steps in the local consultation program were designed to identify and address stakeholders concerns
about the project and to build positive, long-term relationships with the project community neighbors.
Consultation specific to the project was initiated through contacting the Environmental officer of Odo Shakiso
district Officer who thereafter provided the consultant team with contact persons at Woreda Sector.

7.3. The results of consultation

The result of the consultation is that most of the respondents were aware of the proposed project and welcomed
this development. The overall conclusion from the interviews and analysis of the questionnaire led to
determination of the following:

The proposed development project is accepted by the interested and the affected parties (i.e. almost all of the
respondents)

The proposed project will benefit the general population of by providing the much-needed jobs and in the long
run reduce dependency and poverty.

This industry in the area hopes to good price barging power the coffee producers with other industries etc.

Participants Attending Result: The respondents however, did not object the project and were in agreement that
it should be implemented but the proponent should consider employing people from the local area for jobs that
do not need specialized skills before he brings other people in. put in place measures to curb insecurity.
Members of the public who participated in this public participation were so passionate about insecurity and how
it needs to be addressed.

7.4. Summary of concerns on project construction phase.

To date, stakeholder input has largely focused on creating an appropriate and contextual design for the project in
coordination with community input. Areas of particular interest have included the preparation of effective
environmental and socio-economic impact assessment, the mitigation of environmental effects. Most
stakeholder’s comments, and concerns focused cumulative effects and the need for clarity around the project
operations. A brief summary of the stakeholders concerns during construction phase that were incorporated into
the project

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN

The environmental management plan involves risk management strategies that should be undertaken by the
project proponent and the project manager to mitigate environmental degeneration. They are approaches to
monitor, control, reclaim and restore the environment back to its appropriate state. EMPs for projects thus
provide logical frameworks within which the identified issues of environmental concern can be mitigated,
monitored and evaluated.

Environmental monitoring involves measurement of relevant parameters, at a level of details accurate enough, to
distinguish the anticipated changes. Monitoring aims at determining the effectiveness of actions to improve
environmental quality. The environmental management and monitoring plans have been developed and outlined
to bring home the key findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the project in mention,
recommending necessary mitigation actions, defining roles, monitor able indicators and the estimated cost.

The EMPs outlined in tables hereafter address the potential negative impacts and mitigation measures as well as
roles, costs and monitor able indicators that can help to determine the effectiveness of actions to upgrade the
quality of environment; as regards the proposed project. The EMPs have considered construction, occupation
and decommissioning phases.

9. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

9.1. Conclusion.

It is concluded that:

The total odour emission rate for the wet-coffee mill would not have a significant incremental or
cumulative odour impact at the Dambi Udo site, and would equate to <0.1% of the existing total
odour emission rate for the Dambi Udo project site facility (excluding emissions from the
surrounding residents).

Odour emissions from the wet-coffee mill would be likely to have a neutral hedonic tone, which
is to say that the odour would be regarded as being neither unpleasant nor pleasant.

All exhaust discharge points would be equipped with Buhler Airjet filters, which are capable of
achieving an in stack particulate concentration of considerably less than 50 mg/m3.

Emissions of total suspended particulates would comply with the concentration prescribed by the
Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation 2002.

The total particulate emission rate for the wet-coffee mill would not have a significant
incremental or cumulative impact at the Dambi Udo project site, should be avoid emission rate.

The additional greenhouse gas emissions associated with the proposed wt-coffee mill at the
existing Dambi Udo site would be no any gas emissions.

The development and rigorous implementation of appropriate environmental management

measures throughout the construction period would minimize environmental impacts associated
with the construction process.

The positive impacts will also contribute greatly benefit to local community by creating
employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled people.

49
 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Document on Wet Coffee Processing Industry

The positive impacts will also considerable and greatly to the economic activity within the
location providing the community with clear opportunities to improve livelihoods and food
security.

The proposed project will contribute to the development of the country by increasing export of
finished/clean coffee products and generate foreign currency exchange for the country.

The positive impacts include the fast contribution to proposed industry benefits by fast payments.

Effluents: the water leaving the processing facilities should be monitored for potential
contaminants.

9.2. Recommendation
Here below few recommendations are forwarded:

To enhance the potential economic benefits and social acceptability of the project; it is very
important for the company management body and Proponents (a) to avoid or minimize any
adverse impacts of the project on human health and, (b) to reduce impacts on the environment,

It is recommended that the proposed mitigating measures are properly implemented on time.

To ensure proper implementation of mitigation measures, monitoring and auditing must be

conducted.

In addition, the company should create harmonious relationship between the local communities
by holding discussions with local people so as to develop strong ties with them.

During Production and Processing phase the project should be Adoption of Waste Management
Hierarchy Principles in order to avoid the liquid and solid waste of coffee industry such as any
waste reduce, reuse, recycle and energy use for different commercial use and at the last disposed
at permitted area.

All appropriate environmental management measures detailed in this report, together with any
other environmental management commitments detailed in the Environmental Assessment
document be developed in a Construction Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and
implemented throughout the construction phase

In collaboration with the local government and the affected community, the company should
support development efforts in the project site. This will strengthen trust between local people
and the company.

The company should create harmonious relationship with community surrounding site

The company should carry out regular internal monitoring in order to maintain environmental
and quality production

Mainstreaming and scaling up best practices so that the local community can benefit from it.

Therefore, major practical works are required to aware the local community and develop their
confidence in the coffee industry activities, and to conduct transparent mitigation measure
application and the necessary steps should make on what conditions the wet-coffee industry
Waste Management Plan consolidate by the consultant and provide to the Zone and woreda
EPA office for the acceptance and approval of to this envisaged coffee industry management
plan. This will however be overcome through close follow-up and implementation of the
recommended Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans (EMPs).
