An environmental inspector appointed under this Act may enter uponany land or premises for the purposes of monitoring the effects upon the environment of any activitiescarried out on that land or premises.Furthermore, all projects for petroleum operations are required to have an environmental impactassessment (EIA) study license. Each EIA includes an environmental management plan that includesmonitoring activities executed by oil and gas companies. Such monitoring is undertaken to determinethe actual and potential effects of the given activity on the environment in the short and long term.As part of its monitoring function NEMA in consultation with the relevant lead agencies, as needed,may request and verify results of monitoring carried out by oil and gas company against baselineparameters.10
This manual makes provisions for NEMA leading environmental monitoring activities of petroleumoperations.3.2AuditsEnvironmental audit is the systematic, documented, periodic and objective evaluation of how wellenvironmental organisation, management and equipment are performing in conserving or preservingthe environment. An environmental inspector may enter any land or premises for the purposes ofdetermining how far the activities carried out on that land or premises conform with the statementsmade in the environmental impact assessment study report.EMCA distinguishes between three types of audit activities: environmental audit studies, self auditsand control audits.Environmental Audit Studies are required for projects that have been undertaken after completionof an environmental impact assessment study.Initial audits provide baseline information upon which subsequent control audit studies shall be based.An initial environmental audit must be within 12 months of the commencement of operations and notmore than 24 months after completion of project. If project life is shorter, the audit may be requiredearlier. Additional audits will be required on a regular basis to verify compliance with t heenvironmental management plan and regulations.Self audits are the primary method of auditing. Companies will prepare a detailed audit of their facilityusing a third-party auditor from a register maintained by NEMA. Self-audits are then reviewed by theNEMA technical staff. NEMA classifies self-audits for review in terms of risks. Low risk facilities requireself-audits only when there is an incident or if NEMA would like to understand the practice within thefacilities. Medium risk facilities must submit self-audits every three years. High risk facilities mustsubmit audits annually. Improvement notices may be issued where needed. If satisfied with the report,NEMA issues a compliance letter to the facility.Control Audits are used when NEMA deems it necessary to check compliance with environmentalparameters set for a project or in order to verify information in a self-audit report. Control auditsintend to verify compliance with a project’s environmental management plan and that the plan issufficient to mitigate any negative impacts of the project. Control audits will be initiated when thereare concerns voiced by NEMA, the public, parliament, or other stakeholders.This manual makes provisions for NEMA lead control audits of petroleum operations. For processesrelated to self audits and environmental audit studies please refer to NEMA Standard OperatingProcedures for Compliance and Enforcement.3.3InspectionsEnvironmental inspections are undertaken by NEMA, or its representatives, through the powersgranted by EMCA. Inspections are periodic events that are undertaken in response to incidents,complaints, or issues raised by the public, Parliament, or other stakeholders. An inspector may, atreasonable times, enter on any land, premises or facility of a project for the purposes of inspection,to examine records and to make enquiries on the project.Inspections consist of a site visit that includes a thorough review of licenses and other documents atthe facility by NEMA compliance staff, observation of environmental management practices in placeat the facility, and discussions with relevant employees. Upon completion of the inspection, findingswill be shared with the responsible authority of the facility and any improvement orders orenforcement actions will be issued.This manual makes provisions for NEMA inspectors to lead environmental inspections of petroleumoperations.11

REF No.NEMA/SOP/C&E/01-11Quality assurance and quality control measuresQuality assurance/quality control measures are activities undertaken by NEMA and lead agencies,required to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of environmental monitoring, audits andinspections.Quality Assurance (QA) generally refers to a broad plan for maintaining quality in all aspects of aprogram, including all quality control measure, sample collection, sample analysis, data management,evaluation, etc.Quality Control (QC) consists of the steps, including measurements, calibration and standardizationpractices required to be taken to assure quality of specific sampling and analytical procedures.Quality Assurance is essential in environmental monitoring, auditing and inspections to promote,achieve and maintain adequate data quality. Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures areincorporated into all aspects of the monitoring programs including: Sampling (equipment preparation, sample collection, sample storage and transportation) – thisis achieved via compliance with sampling standards defined in this manual or alternative defacto international best practice standards.Laboratory analysis – this is achieved through the designation of laboratories by NEMAlaboratory , internal laboratory QA/QC procedures independently verified and audit andanalysis of control samples carried out to maintain laboratory accreditation. It is anticipatedthat NEMA designated laboratories are to follow good laboratory practices.Data management – this is achieved via use, maintenance, issue and storage of data incompliance with applicable regulations and this manual.Reporting – this is achieved through consistent reporting and tracking of results of monitoringactivities in compliance with applicable regulations and this manual.Additional measures that improve the quality of environmental monitoring, audits and inspectionsof petroleum operations include, amongst others: Adherence to NEMA internal QA/QC corporate procedures and other procedures required byISO 18091:2019 (Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 in local government); Adequate training of NEMA inspectors/auditors in execution of environmental monitoring,audits and inspection of petroleum operations as specified in this manual; Internal audits of NEMA enforcement and compliance activities.13
S. 2 Environmental Monitoring Process1.1.1.IntroductionPurpose and ObjectiveEnvironmental monitoring is the continuous or periodic determination of actual and potential effectsof any activity or phenomenon on the environment whether short-term or long-term. NEMA identifiesprojects and programmes or types of projects and programmes, plans and policies for whichenvironmental audit or environmental monitoring must be conducted under EMCA.Environmental monitoring programs for petroleum industry should be implemented to address allactivities that have been identified to have potentially significant impacts on the environment, duringnormal operations and emergency conditions.Industrial activity, such as oil and gas operations, can impact the environment in many different waysover the short- and long-term. Environmental monitoring indicates whether the environmental statusis stable, deteriorating or improving, due to operators’ activities. In addition to identifying trends, theresults should as far as possible provide a basis for projections for future developments.Environmental monitoring of petroleum operations should take into account any impacts on: air quality,water quality,soil and land uses,and biodiversity.Specific parameters are identified as part of the baseline survey. Environmental monitoring activitiesshould be based on direct or indirect indicators of emissions, effluents, and resource use applicable tothe particular project.Objectives of environmental monitoring include: Evaluating short/medium/long term impacts of petroleum operations,Provide government agencies with data to evaluate any impacts and to contribute toenvironmental impact assessments, audits, and inspections,Assist in the evaluation of environmental goals and programs,Comparison of environmental data to baseline data measured in EIA process,Verify that environmental mitigation measures are sufficient to maintain desired outcomesProvide early warning for potential environmental damage.Environmental monitoring of petroleum operations can be executed in two main forms: Through NEMA verification car
