1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Construction Environmental and Social Management Plans (CESMP) defines the actions and measures
necessary for the overall management of environment and social impacts for both the Project beneficiary
(TRANSGAZ S.A., represented by the Bulgarian-Romanian-Hungarian-Austrian Project Management Unit
(BRUA PMU)) and contractors in line with the applicable law and other obligations. The CESMPs are
comprised of a suite of management plans.
This CESMP is the Project Hazardous Materials Management Plan, document no 1062-TGN-MNG-PLN-
PJM-22-00004.
Hazardous materials are any materials that represent a risk to human health, property or the environment
due to their physical or chemical characteristics. When a hazardous material is no longer usable for its
intended purpose and is intended for disposal, it is considered a hazardous waste (and is addressed through
the Waste Management CESMP 1062-TGN-MNG-PLN-PJM-22-00005). The Project seeks to proactively
manage the handling and storage of hazardous materials, as well as the prevention of accidents and the
control of releases of hazardous materials to ensure the protection of the workforce, the public, property and
the environment.
1.2 Purpose of this Hazardous Materials CESMP
The purpose of this Plan is to ensure an adequate management of hazardous materials throughout the
construction phase of the project to prevent any negative impacts on the people’s health, property and on
the environment. As such, this Plan:
 Outlines the key policies, legislation and standards relating to waste management;
 Defines roles and responsibilities;
 Outlines actions and measures necessary for the effective management of hazardous materials
(including handling and storage) as well as accidental release of hazardous materials;
 ;
 Details specific control measures to be implemented by the Company and its contractors (and
subcontractors);
 Incorporates the requirements of the Regulatory EIA findings, Supplemental Environmental
Assessment (June 2017), international standards, Romanian legislation, Lenders requirements and
Project-specific construction permits;
 Considers the Company’s general approach to hazardous materials management procedures and
methodologies.
The CESMP defines the actions and measures necessary for the management of hazardous materials by
both the Project beneficiary (TRANSGAZ S.A., represented by BRUA PMU), Contractors and sub-
contractors, in line with the applicable law and other obligations.
1.3 Scope of the Hazardous Materials CESMP
This CESMP covers all activities and is applicable to all Transgaz staff, Contractors and Sub-contractors.
Whilst this CESMP will act as a ‘framework’ to determine what the Contractors will be expected to produce,
Contractors are required to ensure that all the CESMP requirements are adopted within their own

Page 4 of 25 DOCUMENT No. 1062-TGN-MGN-PLN-PJM-22-00004Rev 2


management plans. Further information on Roles and Responsibilities is provided in Section 5 of this
CESMP.
1.4 Document Management
Document will be managed and controlled by the Document Control and Archiving Compartment within BRUA
Project Management Unit. The methods for document management and improvement during the construction
phase will be described in the Document Guide to be developed by BRUA PMU.

2 The BRUA Project


2.1 Project Overview
SNTGN Transgaz SA Medias (“Transgaz”, “the Company” or “the Beneficiary”), the licensed operator of the
Romanian National Gas Transmission System, is developing a 529km natural gas pipeline between Podisor
in southern Romania and Horia in the west of the country (the “Project”). The pipeline, which for much of
the route will be buried and will upgrade or run alongside existing pipelines, represents the Romanian section
of the BRUA Natural Gas Transmission Corridor. In addition to the pipeline itself, the Project will also require
construction of three new Gas Compressor Stations (GCS) at Podisor, Bibesti and Jupa, as well as a range
of supporting infrastructure including block valve stations, construction camps, pipe storage areas,
watercourses and infrastructure crossings and access roads.

Figure 2.1 BRUA Route

Page 5 of 25 DOCUMENT No. 1062-TGN-MGN-PLN-PJM-22-00004Rev 2


Whilst the majority of the route is on land currently used for farming, it does pass through a number of
specifically sensitive areas, including seven Natura 2000 Sites, and the nationally important Dinosaurs Geo-
Park. It also passes close to a number of sites of archaeological value including the ancient city of Tibiscum
near Jupa. In some of these areas, as well as near major roads and railways and for the 8 major rivers, this
will involve the use of horizontal directional drilling. In mountainous areas special “hammering techniques”
may also be applied.
2.2 Environmental and Social Commitments
The Project is subject to various environmental and social requirements that are managed by the Company
through the implementation of its Health, Safety and Environmental Management System (HSE-MS)1. This
HSE-MS includes a specific Project Framework Construction Environmental and Social Management Plan
(F-CESMP) as well as associated topic/activity specific CESMPs. Operational phase Environmental and
Social Management Plans will be developed at a later stage prior to BRUA operation. The overall approach
to integration of the above documents is described in Section 4.2 of the F-CESMP document.
2.3 Project Approach to Waste Management
The Project construction activities will result in the generation of hazardous materials that require proper
planning from the outset to ensure a system of coordinated management between BRUA PMU, contractors

and local authorities (which have the competency to check compliance with Project provisions regarding the
storage, transportation, and final disposal of hazardous materials), and also to sanction deviations from legal
framework).

3 Key Policies, Legislation and Standards


3.1 Overview
The Project is subject to a range of policies, legal and regulatory requirements and other applicable standards
of relevance to this CESMP. Where two or more of the identified standards are inconsistent or contradictory,
unless otherwise justified, the Project will adopt the most stringent.
3.2 Company Policies
Transgaz’ Health Safety and Environment (HSE) policy (as outlined in the Integrated Management Manual
Quality-Environment-Occupational Health and Safety, code MSMI-CMSSO Ed. 03/Rev.) and Corporate
Social Responsibility policy apply to all activities carried out by, or on behalf of, the Company as part of this
Project. Details of these policies are provided in Section 7.3 of the F-CESMP.
3.3 National Legislation and Permits
All contractors are also required to comply with all relevant national regulatory requirements. Whilst
contractors are required to verify the latest regulatory requirements themselves, an indicative list of Romanian
national legislation is provided in Appendix 3.
Contractors must also ensure that relevant requirements of the various construction-related permits for the
Project issued by national (and local) regulators are addressed. Any requirements arising from the
revision/amendment of those permits will also be applied. Key permits are summarized in Section 3.2 of the
F-CESMP.
3.4 International Standards and commitments
A range of international standards and commitments are applicable to this CESMP as described in Section
3.3 of the F-CESMP Document. These include the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development
(EBRD) Environmental and Social Performance Requirements (PRs), with PR3 being especially relevant to
this document. All contractors are required to comply with all such requirements as they apply to their
activities.
The following European Union Regulations are relevant to this CESMP and have been taken into account:
 Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC
 Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008

6 Management, Mitigation, Monitoring and Verification
6.1 Management Actions
A range of management actions (and other mitigation measures) are required to be implemented in respect
of hazardous materials management. The specific management actions and measures required of Transgaz
staff and its Contractors (and sub-contractors) are described in Appendix 1 to this CESMP.
6.2 General Monitoring Activities
Monitoring provisions for this Hazardous Materials Management CESMP have been developed through the
process outlined in Table 6.2.
Table 6.2 Approaches to Monitoring

Objective Approach
1: Risk Based Monitoring programs to address material issues based on the use of the ‘source-
pathway-receptor’ approach in the EIA. These are commensurate with:
 the scale and nature of the activity,
 the assessed potential level of impact (and uncertainty thereof), and
 the sensitivity of the local environment within the activity area of influence
2: Compliance Additional monitoring programs to meet specific regulatory needs.
Based
By adopting the above approach, the monitoring plans should meet both Transgaz’s requirement to
understand and manage the Project’s potential impacts for each construction activity/ location and any
specific requirements of the Romanian authorities. The specific monitoring requirements for this Hazardous
Materials CESMP are presented in Appendix 2.
6.3 Management System Verification Monitoring
Management System verification monitoring requirements, as detailed in the F-CESMP Document, are
divided into three levels as shown in Table 6.3 below.
Table 6.3 Auditing Management System

Tier Objective Responsible Description


Tier 1: Transgaz Transgaz These audits are aimed at assessing the Transgaz HSE-MS
management elements and assessing their continued suitability throughout
system audits the project life cycle.
Tier 2: Transgaz Transgaz These audits are undertaken by the Transgaz BRUA team to
CESMP confirm compliance by the Company and its contractors with
audits the CESMPs.
Tier 3: Contractor Contractor These audits are to be undertaken by contractors to confirm
self-audits compliance by themselves and their sub-contractors with the
CESMPs and their own HSE-MS. The managing contractors
shall ensure that audit reports are provided to Transgaz.

In addition to the above, there are also expected to be regulatory audits and lender compliance monitoring
visits. The nature and structure of these will be confirmed with regulators and lenders.
