Scoping Session Open Discussions
The items discussed covered most of the environmental impacts and demonstrated main concerns. 'The following are the main issues raised during the discussions.
Al-Sokhna Power Proiect
- A landscape area is proposed to be kept inside the Power Plant fence for improving the scenic impact.
ESlA for El-Aln Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Projecl No 13 12 Annex-B - Page 6 of 52 HB -10 August ZOOS ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- The Ettaqa District Council should review the current capacities of services as the number of workers will be increased during the construction of the new project.
Noise
- For model Predication, the condition of the worst case, not the average, should be adopted. - If the noise level is above the international standards, recommendations such as monitoring the noise level, any other mitigation measures should be adopted. - With respect to noise generated from ground traffic and equipment, the predication should be superimposed to all noise sources.
- The road network will be carefully studied. Recommendations for mitigating the direct and peak construction impacts will be prepared. - The traffic count points shall be selected very efficiently.
Power Supplv
- Electric power is available with ample capacity to meet the project requirements; - The Contractors assigned to build the Power Plant will provide emergency generating sets; - The generator's fuel will be recommended to be environment friendly.
Solid Waste
- The Power Plan should adopt practices (separation, reuse, ... etc.) of solid and hazardous wastes as per the solid waste integrated management philosophy. - Coordination between the Ettaqa District Council and the contractors for collection and disposal of solid wastes in anticipated sanitary landfill is recommended. - The ESlA study should adopt mitigation measures for hazardous wastes generated from the construction and operation of the Power Project.
Water SUPP~V
- Practices of water disinfection and tank cleaning should be adopted in order to improve drinking water quality.
Wastewater Services
- Wastewater from the new Al-Sokhna Power Plant will be disposed of through the plant sewer and the Ettaqa sanitary network in the near future.
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-B - Page 7 of 52 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
- The new Power Project should adopt Pre-treatment for industrial wastewaters produced from the Power Plant before discharging to the discharge facility.
Questions and Answers
The following is a paraphrasing of the questions with the questioner identified and the answer by a member of the presenters.
Mr. Ali Amin, President of Al-Wafd Committee and Member of Local People's Council of Suez Governorate.
Comment: Results from the Ettaqa air quality data has shown that background suspended particulate matters concentrations are higher than expected contribution of the proposed power plant emissions. Therefore, major air quality problems in the area are probably due to background concentrations rather than from the proposed power plant.
Question: What environmental limitations are there at El-Ain Al-Sokhna which could prevent building. 1300 MWe?
Answer: Any limitations to future power plant addition at El-Ain Al-Sokhna cannot be determined until the environmental assessment is completed.
Mr. Fawzv Ahmed Hosnev. Assistant Secretarv of El-Taaamoaa Party
Comment: Gaseous pollution presently in the area should be included in the air quality analysis.
Question: What criteria will be used for atmospheric considerations when selecting El-Ain Al-Sokhna as the site?
Answer: Previous predicting studies for similar units were used to evaluate potential pollutant levels. If additional information is needed about model used in these predictions, it can be provided.
Ms. lntessar El-Heaazy. Secretarv General of the Environment Protection (NGO)
Question: Will this project interfere with the existing environment?
Can cooling water used for the plant affect negatively the Suez Gulf?
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-B - Page 8 of 52 HB - 10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
Answer: The project will not have significant effect on the existing environment.
Utilization of sea water for power plant cooling is non-consumptive. Nevertheless, it is recognized that the power plant project will play an integral part in development of the east bank area and this effect will be addressed in the Environmental Assessment.
Ms. lnsaf Anwar, Member of El-Kheir Society (NGO)
Question: Did you study the effect of the power plant on shoreline and seabed in terms of erosion and sedimentation?
Answer: Complete modeling studies, numerically and physically, will be carried out by the Hydraulics Research lnstitute and their outcomes will be presented to you in the next public consultation meeting.
Dr. Tarek Sami of the Tebbin Institute for Metallurqical Studies (TIMS)
Question: The Al-Sokhna area is subject to flash flooding during specific times along the year. Did you take this into the design considerations and site selection studies?
Answer: Yes, there is a comprehensive study on geology, geomorphology and hydrogeology under implementation today, which will address all risks associated with the project, including flash floods.

Consultation with Affected Stakeholders
Given it's broad scope, an EIA study potentially involves a large number of stakeholders. The concerns and viewpoints of all parties interested in and affected by the project should be taken into account in reaching a decision on the project. Informed views of diverse segment of the affected population are critically important to the EA process because different groups use, and are familiar with, different parts of the environment and will be affected to different degrees by the project.
Public and stakeholder involvement is particularly important to developing an understanding of the nature and extent of potential socio-cultural impacts, and to assessing the suitability and acceptability of various measures that might be employed to prevent or mitigate impacts, or to compensate affected groups for unavoidable residual effects.
Classification of Stakeholders
Each stakeholder group will have a different interest in being involved in the EA process:
The developer or proponent needs to know where to site a project and how to minimize adverse environmental impacts; and what issues are likely to be of concern to regulators and the affected community.
An investor needs to know how the impacts will affect the viability of the project and what liabilities are incurred.
Regulatory authorities need to know the extent of impacts and whether they are acceptable; and they will use EA study results to decide on their response to specific permit applications.
Government policy makers will want to know the implications of the project for other projects/plans/programs they may wish to promote.
Regional planners need to know how the project might affect or interfere with adjacent developments and land uses.
The local community and its representatives will need to know how the project's impacts will affect their quality of life.
ESIA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-C - Page 2 of 8 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
Public interest groups (i.e., Non-government organizations or NGO's) may be interested in whether the project is consistent with sound environmental management practices.
Politicians need to know who is affected and in what way, and what issues should be of concern.
Purpose of Stakeholders Consultation
The purpose of taking these viewpoints into account is to improve project viability. The World Bank (1991) has found that where such views are seriously considered and incorporated in the EA process, projects are likely to be more successful. The Bank provides some useful guidance regarding the extent and level of stakeholder involvement in the EA process in its Sourcebooks (World Bank, 1991- Chapter 7).
The purpose of the consultation effort should be:
to inform interested groups and individuals about the proposed development, its potential impacts, and measures which will lessen impacts and protect the environment;
to provide opportunities for timely feedback, (i.e. for the public to voice concerns, comment on proposals and evaluate alternatives);
to identify problems, needs and values;
to minimize misunderstandings about the scope and impacts of the project and increase public confidence in the proposed development;
to ensure decisions have adequately considered the concerns and values of the stakeholders - particularly the affected community(ies);
to seek approaches to problem solving and hopefully resolve conflicts; and
to contribute to an increased awareness and understanding of project plans and activities.

Subiect Minutes of meeting with group of fishermen.
The principal points discussed in this meeting consisted the following:
1. Where are they fishing? 2. What are the areas of good fishing activity? 3. What about fishing at Al-Sokhna Port area?
Suez Gulf at Al-Sokhna port and the power plant site is not an area for good fishing activity.
No commercial or artisanal fishing is found in this area.
They fish in the northern part of the Suez Gulf and the deep water areas.
Fishing has long historic traditions in Suez area. It represents one of the most important features of the life customs of Suez people, irrespective of its economic value.
ESIA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-C - Page 4 of 8 HB - 10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
General Authority for Fishery Development is the main body responsible of fishing activities in Egypt. Red Sea Zone for Fish Wealth - a zonal division of the General Authority - is responsible of fishery works in Red Sea, Suez Gulf and South Sinai areas, which include water surfaces extend along about 1,460 km shoreline distances.
Fishing Units licensed by the "Suez Office for Fishery" to do fishing in the Suez Gulf totals 612. Fishing Units licensed by the same Office to do fishing out of the Suez Gulf totals 157 in Suez zone and 172 in the lakes area.
There are about 34 fishing farms in Suez Governorate at Shamandourah and Kabrieet on the lakes. There are, also, 2 fishing societies and one society for fish farming.
Moreover, there is a special port for fishing activities on Suez Gulf near Suez, called At-Ataka Fishing Port, which includes necessary facilities for providing fishing boats with supply materials and fishing tools. It serves, also, as a fish unloading and exporting facility, where fish is transported to many fish markets in the neighboring areas.
Fish yield in 2007 reached about 4,231.4 tons within Suez Gulf areas and about 1,127.8 tons at Al-Ataka port and Shamandourah.
Almost no fishing activities exist in the Suez Gulf waters fronting the Al-Sokhna port shoreline and the BOOT Suez Gulf power plant as well as the El-Ain Al-Sokhna power project site. Industrial and transport activities, including loading and unloading goods, make fishing a not common activity in such an area.
The number of fishermen on the Suez Gulf utilizing the area in question is estimated to about very few or engaged in fishing part time. Traditional practice has shown that the impacts of the warm water from a power plant are highly localized. At the point of discharge the water temperature is about 8 degrees above ambient. 20-50 meters from the discharge point the temperature is 5 degrees above ambient and at 100 meters 3 degrees higher. 300 meters downstream there is no longer any difference in temperature. The fishermen generally utilize a 5km stretch, roughly 2.5km in each direction from the point of discharge.
Most of the fisheries activities in Suez Governorate are concentrated at the northern part of the Suez Gulf and the deep Gulf waters. The effects on the fisheries of warmer water returned to the water body from similar power plants along the coastal zones of Egypt are well known. Experience from about eight other power plants - located on coastal areas of the Mediterranean seas
ESlA for El-Aln Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-C - Page 5 of 8 HB - I0 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
and Suez Gulf - that have operated for a number of years indicate that the overall impacts on fisheries of slightly warmer water actually are positive, and consultations with the fishermen indicate that the catches in these areas have increased rather than decreased. Since this is part-time, small-scale fisheries no statistics are available, but after many years the warmer water around the various points of discharge, is clearly perceived by the fishermen to have positive effects.

PRESENTATIONS
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (Conducted in Arabic)
Eng. Ali welcomed the audience to the meeting and conveyed greetings of Dr. Mohamed Awad, Chairman of the EEHC, who had an urgent meetiqg, which prevented him from attendance. He explained the role of the EDEPC Company, some key technical and managerial figures, key principles of EDEPC when running electricity generating projects and gave an indication of EDEPC's operation philosophy. He also explained the status of the El-Ain Al- Sokhna super-critical steam power project.
Eng. Ali, then gave the speech of Dr. Mohamed Awad, on behalf of him. He said:
"On behalf of the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, I welcome all of you. It is my pleasure to meet with you regarding the extension of our activities in Suez Governorate, and the execution of one of the most important projects in the southern part of Suez and in Egypt. The power station of El-Ain Al-Sokhna shall supply and cover the electricity needs for new projects in the area and in E~Ypt.
With good co-operation between Egypt and the international and regional banks, e.g. World Bank and the African Development Bank, this project has been decided to be executed through several international biddings.
I hope that today we will listen together to the PGESCo and ECG presentations and the good findings of their environmental study of the power plant which has been implemented in deep collaboration with EDEPC and EEHC.
The strategy of the EEHC is to put environmental considerations as the highest priority.
I wish EDEPC and our consultants all success and many thanks to the governor of Suez, Suez People's Counsel, Suez Community & NGOs and all of you".
Dr. Ms. Lila El-Kholi (Conducted in Arabic)
Dr. El-Kholi welcomed the attendees and introduced the EEAA Environmental Protection Strategy. She said that in the commencement of 19901s,the United Nations announced that Environment and Development are not contradicted. They can go hand in hand. Together they represent two faces of the same coin. She added that without conserving the environment and protecting it against deterioration, development will lack necessary background that receives its outcomes, and without development no progress mankind can achieve for supporting environment preservation. The issue, then, is not to decrease
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-D - Page 6 of 16 HB - 10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
development for abating pollution, but to continue development in such ways that are effective, clean and sustainable.
Ms. El-Kholi Said: "The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment has become a necessity for incorporating environmental safeguard measures into design of the projects in early phases of implementation".
"Thank you for inviting EEAA. I am actually eager to listen to the outcomes of the ESlA of the El-Sokhna project and see how it considers all necessary aspects for preserving the environment".
2.2.3 Mr. Abu El- Wafa Bashir, Local People's Council's Speech (Conducted in Arabic)
"This meeting raises an important issue and a responsibility that we all must carry in order to balance sustainable development as well as the safeguarding of the environment.
With this important project that will enhance the Suez Region, including Ettaqa, with electricity supply in accordance with international standards, we provide a leading model in development, based on friendly environmental standards.
I would like to thank all of you for coming to this meeting and I am looking forward to seeing interaction between the project's owner, i.e. EDEPC and the audience".
Dr. Asem El-Gawhary (PGESCo) (Conducted in Arabic)

QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
The Question and Answer session was conducted in Arabic by Eng. Maher Aziz Bedrous, EEHC's Counsellor for Environmental Management and Studies. The proceedings have been translated as accurately as possible. In order to demonstrate that the issues and concerns have been addressed, where applicable, a reference to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report undertaken for the project has been given, in addition to further clarification, shown in italics.
QUESTION 1 :Mr. Ahmed Mohamed Atawi (Suez Citizen)
How and why did you choose this location for the El-Ain Al-Sokhna Plant?
Eng. Tarek Youssef (EDEPC)
The location for the power plant was selected at El-Ain Al-Sokhna on the same land allocated in 1999 for a Steam Power Generating Facilities near the Suez Gulf shoreline, because the plant uses up to 46 m3 per sec. i.e. 165,600 m3 per hour of water for cooling. Therefore, the farther we are from the water source and from this source of cooling, the more expensive it becomes to transport the water. Consequently, the price per kW would increase due to the need to pump the cooling water larger distances. When choosing the location, we abide by Egyptian laws and regulations, particularly to the guidelines of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, to those of the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA), and finally to Environmental Law 411 994.
No need to mention that the location also has the advantage of being near the center of loads. We are certain and confident that there will be no environmental problems.
The site selection was predetermined by EEHC. The site is considered suitable for a number of reasons, including its direct access to the natural gas, the industrial nature of the area, existing infrastructure and proximity to the Suez Gulf. The findings of the ESlA show no significant impact given the implementation of the various mitigation measures. It is considered that the site selected for the power plant is appropriate.
Further details of the site selection process are available in Sections 3&4 of the ESIA.
QUESTION 2: Dr. Mohamed Tawfik Abu Ghattas (Representative of Physicians of Suez Governorate)
Can we use the Suez Gulf at the El-Ain Al-Sokhna project location for other purposes, such as fishing? and what about the cooling water recirculation as
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 8 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
the intakes and the discharges of both power plants are so close to each other?
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
The plant is located in an area reserved for power generation activities. It is also an industrial zone. Therefore, we shall not have any further impacts or influences on the usual activities linked with the Suez Gulf.
As for fishing activity, the area itself is not an area for commercial or artisanal fishing. But the warm mixing zone formed by warm cooling water discharged from the Suez Gulf BOOT power plant has created a good environment for fish growth, and about 6 boats are seen every evening for fishing in the mixing zone. This is a good proof of the positive impact of the power project on fish wealth in the area.
Concerning recirculation of cooling water, PGESCo has designed the intake and discharge of the new power project such as the warm water will be in between both of the power plants, while cool water will enter from the outer sides, which will enhance preventing recirculation.
QUES TlON 3: Dr. Sherif El-Gawhary (NGOs Federation of Suez Governorate)
Wastewater may cause bad effects. Is any regulatory body review the ESlA report?
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (EDEPC)
As for wastewater, we have undertaken the ESlA study which will be presented to the EEHC, the concerned competent authority and the Governorate of Suez, the Licensing authority who in turn will send it to the EEAA. The EEAA will review the report and return their comments to the EEHC. These comments will be reviewed by EEHC, EDEPC, ECG and PGESCo and amendments and modifications will be incorporated in the report. Once all this is done, the environmental permit will be issued.
QUESTION 4: Eng. El-Arabi El-Taher (Suez Gulf BOOT power plant)
What about the sewage from the plant?
Eng. Hassan El-Banna (ECG)
The sewage will be discharged to the plant sanitary wastewater treatment system. Treated wastewater will be directed to the plantation irrigation system and the sludge will be transported by licensed contractors to licensed dump
- - ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 9 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
sites. When the local sewer network of Ettaqa reachs the area in the future, sewage will be discharged to the local sewer system of the area, i.e. to the local sewer network at Ettaqa. Regarding EDEPC, this is a National Electricity Company, and they consider environmental protection on top of their highest priorities. See Section 8 of the ESIA.
QUESTION 5: Dr. Yousry Abdel Aziz (Suez Canal University)
Many details have been presented on the concentrations of emissions and how they are complying with the standards. It was better if the ESMP was presented in such details.
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
The outcomes of the ESIA study have been presented in a relatively long time and ESMP tables were also highlighted briefly. It would take much more time if these tables are presented in more details. But the whole volume of the ESIA study and the twelve baseline studies are available at the offices of EDEPC and EEHC for anybody to review.
QUESTION 6: Dr. Yousry Abdel Aziz (Suez Canal University)
If an environmental standard of the EEAA is more stringent than that of the World Bank, which one you will follow?
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
Certainly we must comply first with the national standards. Actually we comply with both of the EEAA and the World Bank standards whichever more stringent.
QUESTION 7: Eng. Taher Salah El-Shahawy (Egyptian Operating Co. S.A.E)
Don't you think that the stricter standards are much better for the sake of our environment? I believe that the more stringent the standards are the much better the situation is for our country.
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
It is not a matter of stringent standards. We are concerned about the soundness of the environment but stricter standards may obstacle development. We couldn't be stricter than the World Bank or the US-EPA because the WB and US-EPA with their current standards preserve the environment. We need development as well. We are a developing country and it is not wise to adopt stricter standards that prevent development and say we
ESIA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 1312 Annex-D - Page 10 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
preserve environment. I believe that the issue is to achieve the best reconciliation between environment, i.e. stringent standards and the development. We need development but in terms of sustainability.
QUESTION 8: Mr. Hassan Abu Bakr (Suez Citizen)
Why the new Al-Sokhna power project doesn't use closed circuit for cooling the condensers?
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
There is a huge resource of water near the plant site, the Red Sea. Cooling water required for the condensers is a large quantity of water, almost 165,600m3/hr, but represents only a very small incremental volume of the Red Sea flow at the Al-Sokhna segment. If this quantity of water provided for a closed circuit system, there will be significant impacts, either environmentally or economically.
Also, there is an important consideration for the efficiency of the plant. Closed circuit cooling system decreases the efficiency of the plant with about 4% loss. This considerably affects the fuel consumption, emissions to the air and economics of operation.
Finally, the question is: why you go to use closed circuit whilst you have plentiful water supply and all you do you only bypass this water through the plant and discharge it again to the water body with almost no effect?
QUESTION 9: Dr. Fikry Ashour Mourad (National Institute for Oceanographic Studies & Fishery)
The impact of the power plant on sea organisms, as Eng. Hassan El-Banna has presented, will be very minor or even nothing. I totally contradict with this conclusion. 'The impact of the power plant is very significant on marine organisms and the area should have a biodiversity of organisms in contrary to what has been presented to us.
Also, the power plant is designed and operated in conformance with industrial country's cold waters, but not adapted to national circumstances. Accordingly, the chlorine dosage for destroying algae deposition on the intake screens is not specified to our sea waters' circumstances. This should be reviewed and more-controlled.
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
The impact of the power plant on marine organisms may be significant in a very localized scale. Thermal plume is discharged from the outlet of the Circulating Water Dischrge System of the power plant at 9.6 OC at the point of discharge, but it is decreased to about 5 OC within a distance 100-150 m and
- - ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 1 1 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
continue to fall down to about 3 OC within another 100 m distance, where organisms highly welcome this warm water environment.
Thus, if there is a severe marine environmental conditions against organisms within first 100-150 m, these conditions become favorite afterwards, and this is very limited and very localized effect, provided that huge volumes of water are available for normal organisms life beyond the severe short distance from the plant outlet.
As for chlorine dosage for cleaning the intake screen from algae deposition, we very much thank you for your instructive comments and a recommendation is forwarded to PGESCo, the project engineer, for checking chlorine dosage with regard to the warm water characteristics of the localized environment.
QUESTION 10: Dr. Mohamed Tawfik Abu Ghattas (Representative of Physicians of Suez Governorate)
I have two questions:
First, During commissioning period of the Al-Sokhna power plant, there will be intermittent high noise impacts. What are your plans for abating those impacts?
Second, Concerning noise impacts, will the monitoring program include noise measurements during the operation of the plant, e.g. every certain period of time?
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (EDEPC)
First, Usually we use noise silencers during power plant commissioning. These silencers will be used for the commissioning of Al-Sokhna power project. Also, there will be an awareness program for the neighboring facilities to take into their consideration noise impacts associated with commissioning.
Second, Monitoring program during construction and operation includes periodic measurements for noise impacts.
QUESTION 11: Mr. Abdel- Hamid Kamal (Writer in Sawasia and El-Ahaly Journals)
There are already many industrial facilities in the area of Al-Sokhna district. The new Al-Sokhna power plant is considered a significant industrial addition in the area. Would this addition have a negative effect on the place? What about wastewater?
As a Suez citizen, I see that all these plants have a negative impact as they emit pollutants to the atmosphere.
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 12 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (EDEPC)
Having many industrial facilities in this area is not a problem. The criteria always is that their combined impact shouldn't exceed permissible limits. For example in Cairo North, there are three plants close to each other, and they are not the cause of pollution in north of Cairo. On the contrary, this power plant is essential to the area, as well as Egypt, because of the increasing electricity demand. New developments are growing, therefore importing electricity would be far more expensive for Egypt.
Furthermore, Suez will benefit from the plant because the surplus of electricity can be exported to Jordan or Libya. Please note that when EEHC (previously EEA) built the old Suez power plant there were no comprehensive environmental standards. Today, we are controlled by these standards. Additionally, at EEHC, we refuse investments that do not respect the environment. As for electricity produced by gas firing, it is not a polluting industry like cement or petrochemicals.
Let me insure something concerning wastewater discharge: for the permanent type of wastewater discharge, we have a complete treatment scheme. The EEHC and EDEPC very keen on implementing the same standards in all the new plants, as in the Unified System plants such as Oyoun Moussa, Sidi Krir, Cairo North and Ettaqa.
Finally, this is a very good location for the power plant because there are reasonable infrastructures and the use of Suez Gulf for cooling renders it economically efficient.
QUESTION 12: Mr. Hassan Abu Bakr (Suez Citizen)
I think the project will benefit the area from an infrastructure point of view. I have a number of questions however:
First, will the 9.6 "C temperature difference be at the discharge point, or in the mixing zone?
Second, did you study the water flow and the Suez Gulf currents in the area? Third, by increasing the temperature of the water by few degrees centigrades, will there be an impact on the fauna?
Eng. Hassan El-Banna (ECG)
First, the power plant will be built according to the standards of the Egyptian Environmental Laws. Law 4 of 1994 issued for the protection of the environment states that, the temperature of the water that goes out in the sea should not exceed that of the surface water by 10°C and the maximum surface temperature should not exceed 38°C.
ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 13 of 16 HB - 10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
In the mixing zone the temperature of the water will have decreased to 5OC at 100-150 m from the discharge point. We are therefore within the limits of Law 4 of 1994.
The discharged cooling water will be around 9.6OC above the ambient temperature at the point of discharge.
Thermal modeling was undertaken to determine the excess temperature above ambient conditions. This modeling included water flows and Al-Sokhna Suez Gulf segment currents.
A temperature increase will lead to localized impacts on the aquatic fauna and flora, but impacts are not considered significant. See also Section 6.3.3 of the ESlA Report.
QUESTION 13: Mr. Abdel- Hamid Kamal (Writer in Sawasia and El-Ahaly Journals)
It is mentioned that There are no impacts on fisheries, the study states, could you tell us where ECG did the ESlA study? Did they co-operate with the General Authority for Fishery Development (GAFD)?
What about the job opportunities available for the citizens of Suez Governorate, particulary Ettaqa District?
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
With respect to the fisheries, there will be no significant impacts however, the warm water in the mixing zone may attract fish and provide good conditions for fish growth. This is experienced in Shoubrah El-Kheima and Ettaqa and almost all EEHC's power plants.
Furthermore, the ESlA has conducted a number of studies in the Al-Sokhna location, involving the National Research Center.
Consultations have also been undertaken with GAFD and representatives of fishermen in the area.
Regarding job opportunities, it is true that there will be about 2000-2500 jobs available during the construction phase. There will also be services such as transportation for the workers. Most of the people employed in the plant- as the Chairman of EDEPC said- will be from Suez Governorate.
The GAFD were consulted as part of the public consultation process. Fisheries are discussed in Section 6.3.3 of the ESlA Report.

QUESTION 74: Dr. Sherif El-Gawhary (NGOs Federation of Suez Governorate)
I am very pleased with this civilized discussion about the impacts of such a development on the environment. It is a large improvement that the stakeholders take part in this consultation. However, I have some additional comments and questions:
First, the questions asked here should have been written down in advance.
Second, it seems to me that the ESlA does not include anything about seismic issues or earthquakes.
Third, I believe that the plant should have its own fuel combating equipment against spills to protect the water intake.
Fourth, I noticed this is a sensitive environment, in recovery from previous and present pollution due to industrial growth. This is why we need to protect the aquatic life and fisheries and we must set standards for the recovery of these.
Fifth, you said there is almost no aquatic life in the place of the power plant. Is this statement true and confirmed and are there studies?
Eng. Maher Aziz (EEHC)
The plant will have an Emergency Action Plan. This plan identifies all the risks that may occur and how to mitigate them. It is only used in case of emergency and there are precautionary measures, routinely implemented for normal operations.
About earthquakes, CSC Consulting Firm, in collaboration with the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, did a simulation study on the intensity and occurrence of earthquakes in the area and presented us with their conclusions. The ESlA takes them into consideration, translates them into codes for planning, designing and constructing buildings. These are called building codes for earthquakes.
The study of the plant also shows a continuous monitoring program for water and air quality at all stages. This is clear from Tables 3 through 6 in the Executive Summary, which show the emission levels during construction and operation and the management of these.
At all stages, I believe that it is a very rigorous plan. About the air quality, the ESlA is based on a sophisticated mathematical dispersion model. The power plant is operated continuously with natural gas and in case of emergency, it will use mazout. However, this nearly never occurs (only about 2% of the time all over the year) and if it does, it will only be for a few hours. This explains the tolerance of pollutants if mazout is used. In addition, in case of continuous operations using natural gas, the emissions will not exceed the Egyptian Standards which are respected as national standards by the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
-- - ESlA for El-Ain Al-Sokhna Thermal Power Project No 13 12 Annex-D - Page 15 of 16 HB -10 August 2008 ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS GROUP
About seismicity, it is evident that different sites have different risks. The Consultant studied those risks and the EEHC took the decision of building the power plant given full knowledge of these risks.
See Section 6.3.3 of the ESlA for details of the Suez Gulf water / aquatic studies that were undertaken for the project.
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (EDEPC)
As you know, the area around the power plant site is an industrial area. This shows there are environmental impacts to development, but also economic considerations in the sense that one has to balance the needs for electricity and the protection of the environment.
Mr. Abdel- Hamid Kamal (Writer in Sawasia and El-Ahaly Journals)
We would like to thank you for protecting the environment and complying with Law 411994 standards and guidelines. We all know that the industrial establishments have all contributed to the pollution of Egypt's environment. I hope the Governorate of Suez will impose regulations to treat the different industrial effluents before discharging into the Red Sea. Finally, the people of Suez are supporting the project.
Eng. Tarek Youssef Ali (EDEPC)
If you would like to raise any clarifications on today's discussions, please contact the East Delta Electricity Production Company and PGESCo as the developer of the project and their consultants. Finally, we would like to thank you for attending this public consultation.
