The present document presents the description, analyses, and outcomes of the EIS for the referenced project. The EIS has been carried out according to international best practices and the requirements of the Environmental Authority (EA) in the Sultanate of Oman. Ewan Attawash proposes to develop and operate an oil-based lubricating oils or greases workshop on Plot No. 336 within Liwa Industrial City with a total area of 1050.00 SQ.M.
Oman has set out a long-term strategy to enhance and diversify its economic activity away from oil and gas. The government has identified potential sectors for diversification including the manufacturing sector. The project is developed to contribute to the continuously increasing demand for lubricant oil due to expansion in human settlements and other national development activities. 1.5 Need for the EIS
Production of Lubricant oil is categorized as a Category A project as per EA’s classification of projects as indicated in the MD 48/2017 under title activity “Manufacturing of oil-based lubricating oils or greases” thereby necessitating an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Report. The present report is undertaken as per the requirements and guidelines of the EA’s requirements for conducting EIS studies.
The objective of this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is to establish and address any major impacts might occure by this project and it will also provide appropriate environmental management/mitigation plans necessary to avert the impacts.
Liaison and discussions with the Environmental Authority (EA), Center for Permitting and Assessment relating to the requirement of this project to obtain environmental permit resulted in the decision that an “Environmental Impact Statement” (EIS) is requested. Ewan Attawash has commissioned Tawazon Environmental Consultancy (TEC) to prepare the EIS. The present report presents the results of the study and analysis of the workshop activity and its potential impacts and recommendations to manage those impacts.
