1 Background Information of the Project


1.1 Introduction
Improper management and disposal of waste will have a potential adverse impact to both
environmental and social values, including impacts to human health.

Sources of wastewater from wet-coffee processing include wastewater from pulping, fermentation
(or demucilaging) and washing operations. The effects of these wastewaters are observed when dis-
charged into water courses without proper treatment.

To ensure the appropriate management and disposal system of the project related waste, SHOICHO
KEBELE, SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY (PLC) shall developed a
framework to addressing coffee waste management. This Environmental and Social Management
Plan (ESMP) provides an overview of the framework and management practices to be applied by the
Shoicho Wet-coffee Processing Industry to reduce, re-use, recycle, and recovery as energy source
and dispose the waste that generated by its property with minimum impact downstream of the
project site.

1.2 Purpose and Scope of the WMP

1.2.1 Purpose
SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY (PLC) project has both a legal and
social responsibility to minimize and appropriately manage wastes generated by the coffee
processing industry activities and assets. This ESMP has been planned to satisfy those obligations
and complements the overarching the Regional and woreda Environment, Forest and Climate
Change office to ensure the issue of environment, health and safety management system.

The objectives of the ESMP are to:


 Facilitate compliance with relevant country and Local Government legislation, regulations
and approvals;
 Support the Ethiopia Environmental Hazard Standard safety;
 Provide a framework for DERESE H/YIMER WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY(PLC)
project to:

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 4


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

 Identify, characterize and properly manage wastes at wet coffee industry assets and
facilities;
 Implement the coffee industry waste management hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle
and treat, dispose to minimize waste generation and disposal and promote the re-
use, recycling and recovery of wastes;
 Minimize the risk of causing harm to the environment that may arise due to improper
waste management;
 Engage stakeholders including local governments to assist in utilizing appropriate
waste management and disposal services and locations; and
 Develop site-specific / activity-specific waste management procedures as required
during the coffee industry lifetime.

1.3 Terms of Reference (TOR)

The project WMP assessment investigations and analysis of the anticipated environmental impacts
of in this wet-coffee industry in line with terms of reference stipulated in the environmental (Impact
and Audit) regulations 2003 and in particular part II S 7[1] and which are listed below. However,
this wet-coffee industry previously established, the terms of reference were focused only on the
current wet-coffee processing implementation Phase.

a) A critical look into project objectives


b) The established location of the project site
c) Description of project objectives.
d) A concise description of the national environmental legislative and regulatory framework,

3 Administrative Legal and Policy Framework


3.1 General Overview
Applicable legislation, regulations, guidance and strategies enacted by the National, Regional and
local governments regarding waste management in this Project Area are described in the following
sections and an overview of Ethiopia Government legislation and strategies considered in the
development of the WMP are briefly presented in the following sub-sections

3.2 Policy Framework


Over the last two decades, the Ethiopian government has put in place a number of policies, strategies
and laws that are designed to support sustainable development. The country has developed and
implemented a wide range of legal, policy and institutional frameworks on environment, water,
forests, climate change, and biodiversity. Under the plan for Accelerated and Sustained
Development to End poverty (PASDEP), implemented from 2005/06 to 2009/10, Ethiopia achieved
rapid economic growth and laid a foundation for future growth by e.g investments in infrastructure
and human capital.

Ethiopia’s five years strategic plan, the growth and transformation plan (GTP) for 2010/11, 2014/15
sets even higher growth and investment targets, including achievement of all Millennium
Development Goals. The Environmental policy of Ethiopia was approved in 1997 and is the first key
document that captured environmental sustainable development principles. Ethiopia’s program of
Adaptation to Climate Change (EPACC) is a program of action to build a climate resilient economy
through adaptation at sectorial, regional and local community levels. The EPACC updates and
replaces Ethiopia’s National Adaptation program of Action (NAPA), which was formulated and
submitted it to the UNFCCC Secretariat in 2007.

Ethiopia also has on overarching framework and a national strategy towards a green economy, the ‘’
Climate Resilient Green Economy’’ (CRGE) 2011. EIA procedures should be applied to plans
according to the EIA proclamation No: 299/2002. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has
been introduced to Ethiopia quite recently. However, there is no SEA proclamation or guideline on
SEA in place.

3.2.1 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, which requires that the present day usage should not ‘’compromise the
needs of the future generations’’. The policy emphasis is on environmental protection in order to
ensure sufficient supplies for the present and future generations. The policy envisages the use of the
‘’polluter pays principle’’ where one is expected to make good any damage made to the
environment. Environmental sustainability was recognized in the Constitution and the National
Economic Policy and Strategy of Ethiopia as a key prerequisite for lasting success (EPA, 1997). The
most important steps in setting up the legal framework for EIA in Ethiopia have been the
establishment of Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in 1995, and the adoption of
Conservation Strategy (CSE), Environmental Policy (EPE), EIA Law and EIA Guidelines (EPA,

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 8


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

2002; EPA, 1997). The Conservation Strategy of Ethiopia (CSE) was initiated in 1989 as a project
supported by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), and among the successful activities of the
project was the development of a legal framework for environmental management in Ethiopia. The
policy and strategy documents recognized and addressed environmental issues in a holistic manner,
and were adopted as well as approved by the Government of Ethiopia in 1997.

The overall goal of the Environmental Policy of Ethiopia(EPE) is to improve and enhance the health
and quality of life of all Ethiopians, and to promote sustainable social and economic development
through the sound management and use of natural, human-made and cultural resources and the
environment as a whole (EPA, 1997). The policy seeks to ensure the empowerment and participation
of the people and their organization’s at all levels in environmental management activities, and to
raise public awareness and promote understanding of the essential linkage between the environment
and development.

EIA policies are included in the cross-sectorial policies of the EPE (EPA, 1997). They emphasis,
among others, the early recognition and incorporation of environmental issues and mitigation plans
in project design and implementation.

3.2.2 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 project and all its activities should prepare environmental impact
assessment (EIA). The proponent of the project must prepare the EIA and either approve or disprove
the project based on the real environmental context.

Environmental guidelines are among the tools for facilitating the consideration of environmental
issues and principles of sustainable development and their inclusion in development proposals. The
promoter of this project fulfills the basic requirement from the concerned governmental and non-
governmental bodies.

3.2.3 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

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 9


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

empowered by the proclamation 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.

3.2.4 Solid & Liquid Waste Management


According to FDRE proclamation, No.713/2007, industrial Waste management and disposal,
everybody should collect dry husk in an especially designated place and in a safe manner, which
does not affect the health of the society. Nobody shall dispose solid, liquid or any other waste in a
manner that contaminate the environment or affects the health of the society. Therefore, promoter
should have to have the issuance of permit, and will be bound by and work according to national
laws, as a result, irrespective of nationality and place of investment, these formulated formal laws
govern the entire investment activities.

The regulatory devices underline under the EPE and emphasized in most environmental legislation is
the necessity of Environmental impact Assessment (EIA) before engaging in development acuities.
Furthermore, Articles 11 and 12 of the proclamation No.299/2002 requires EPA to follow up and
monitor the implementation of the project already done according to the EIA and to see, whether
circumstances have occurred whether might require a new EIA to be done. The project is intended to
wash coffee to supply for national and global market. So the promoter of the project should facilitate
to undertake ongoing study or assessment during implementation of the washed station.

3.3 The Environment (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations


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

3.3.1 Environmental Impact Assessment (Proclamation No. 299/2002)


The Environmental Impact Assessment Proclamation (proclamation No. 299/2002 has been issued
on the 3rd of December 2002. The main objective of the Proclamation is to make the ESIA
mandatory for specified categories of activities undertaken by public or by private sectors.
Undertaking ESIA was not a legal requirement before the formation of this Proclamation. The
general provisions of the Proclamation include:

 Implementation of any project that requires an ESIA (as determined in a directive) is


subject to an environmental clearance or authorization from the EPA or Regional
Environmental Agency (REA);
 The EPA or the relevant REA depending on the magnitude of expected impacts may
waive the requirement for an ESIA;
 Any licensing agency shall, prior to issuing an investment permit or trade or an operating
license for any project ensure that the EPA or the relevant REA has authorized its
implementation;
 A licensing agency shall either suspend or cancel a license that has already been issued,
in the case that the EPA or the REA suspends or cancels the environmental
authorization;

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 10


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

 Approval of the ESIA report or the granting of authorization by the EPA or the REA
does not exonerate the proponent from liability for damage;
 The EPA has prepared ESIA procedural guidelines towards the realization and
implementation of this proclamation.

3.3.2 Environmental Pollution Control (Proclamation No. 300/2002)


The Proclamation is developed on the obligation to protect the environment of the Country as a
whole and it aims at securing the right of each citizen to a healthy environment. It provides the basis
from which the relevant environmental standards can be developed and enforces the standards set
based on the polluter pays principle. Environmental Inspectors are to be assigned by the EPA or
regional environment offices, whereas thresholds have been set for industrial, agricultural and
domestic wastes (EPA 2003). The Council of Ministers in 2008 approved a regulation to prevent
pollution from industrial facilities.

3.4 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. It has also established the
Environmental protection council (EPC). EPC oversee EPA’s activities, as well as the activities of
sectorial agencies and environmental units with respect to environment management.

There are so many organizations involved in environmental management in the country. These
organizations include the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, Regional land and
protection and Environmental, National Environment and Management Authority, Local Authorities,
Ministry of Water and Irrigation etc. It also ensures coordination among sectorial ministries and
agencies on environmental matters.

The proclamation stipulates the mandatory need for establishment of Environmental organs by
regions. Mandates of the regional environmental organs are to enable regions to coordinate
environmental activities, avoid duplication of efforts and improve the dissemination of
environmental information. This proclamation also mandates the EPA to undertake studies and
research, to develop action plans etc, in the area of combating desertification.

3.4.1 Environmental Protection Authority


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.

3.4.2 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.

3.4.3 Woreda Environment Forest Climate Change Authority (EFCCA)


Dara-Otilicho is one of the administrative divisions of the SIDAMA NATIONAL REGIONAL
STATE. The woreda administration is the highest decision maker organ next to regional Authority.
Woreda administration is accountable for regional Authority in the case of the Sidama National
Regional State; woreda offices are headed by cabin members. Therefore, woreda EFCCA is the
middle administrative level responsible for monitoring and evaluating environmental issues of the
washed station.

3.4.4 Kebele
The peasant associations have their own council consisting of the administrative structure and the
cabinet members. The cabinet members are composed of three professionals from local school,
Agricultural offices and 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.

4.2 Project Description
Approximately half of the world coffee harvest is processed by the wet method in which the coffee
berry is subjected to mechanical and biological operation in order to separate the bean or seed from
the exocarp (skin), mesocarp (mucilaginous pulp) and the endocarp (parchment) (Clark, 1985). Pulp
represents about 40-41% of the weight of the fresh fruit and presently is underutilized, causing
serious pollution problems. Coffee waste effluents consist about 45% from the processing total
water consumed.

SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY (PLC) project intends to develop its
high quality washed coffee resources to augment supply of parchment coffee to the national coffee
market for several years. The washing station is one of the Dara-Otolicho woreda coffees
processing industry which is meant to stimulate economic and social development through meeting
the high demand of quality washed coffee products in the country and it’s also to meet proponent’s
economic desires. This washing station is established in area of main Arabica coffee producing belt.
The project possesses the conventional type of machine AAGARD 5-disk pulpier with 2-disk
repossess.

The industry has prepared one waste (mucilage) (30X25X5M) length, width and depth respectively collection
Sepetic Tank. On the other hand the coffee husks separation pit and water circulation system stracture is
not well established, It should be constructed new husk and waste separater stracture. Both pits are not lined
with concrete and not maintained good.

5 Baseline Information of the Project Environment


The following baseline information details were reviewed on environmental, ecological and bio-
physical characteristics of the surrounding of the washing station which have got a benchmark for a
continued monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the washing station activities on to
environment. The wet coffee processing station is a global industry and trade that has important
socio-economic implications for the communities and countries which are endowed with suitable
natural resources to offer hard currency generation. Thus SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY
(PLC) area has the following environmental conditions are;

5.1 Demographic & Economical Characteristics of the Project Area

Since there is no relevant demographic data, we are considering the previous Dara woreda
demographic & Economical Characteristics data. According to a 2004 report, Dara had 8 kilometers
of asphalt road, 66 kilometers of all-weather roads and 16 kilometers of dry-weather roads, for an
average road density of 369 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers. Based on the 2007 Census
conducted by the CSA, this woreda has a total population of 155,265, of whom 76,475 are men and
78,790 women; 10,660 or 6.87% of its population are urban dwellers. With Sidama as the
predominate tribe (CSA, 2007).

5.2 Geology and Morphology

About 70% of the Woreda is relief can be categorized under hill and mountain ranges. The
remaining 30% is occupied by valleys, dissected land form, flat plain rolling plateaus. Some of the
perennial river includes Bonikoka, and Gegessa. Dara-Otilicho Woreda is high landscape and at a
mean level of 1811 meters above sea level.

The majority of the land mass (25%) is categorized by the Woredas as lowland with and the
remaining 75% of the Woreda as midland. The climate of the Woreda is moderately wet in the
highlands, and humid in the woyena dega areas. The main rainy season (meher) starts usually in June
and lasts until August, with some irregularities in the kola areas and small rains which runs from
March to April (’belg’).

5.3 Climate

Annual rain fall range between 1250mm-1500mm and it has two agro ecology kola and woinadega.
Most of the kebele are found in the woinadega climatic zone and average temperature range between
15 - 280C (Dra Agricultural Office, 2011). Dara-Otilicho Woreda is high landscape and at a mean
level of 1811 meters above sea level.

6 Potential Impacts of Wet-Coffee Processing


6.1 Characteristic of Wet-Coffee Industry Wastes

Ethiopia is one of a well-known coffee (Arabica) producing, processing and exporting country.
Coffee Processing industry in Ethiopia are generating very high amount of pollution in the water
resources because they are disposing its effluent to the nearby water course without any treatment.
Because of this reason there is great political and social pressure to reduce the pollution arising from
coffee industrial activities. The most commonly used coffee processing method in Ethiopia is wet
processing one. It demands high amount of water to separate the outer red coffee skin and pulp and
also for the removal of the mucilage in fermentation tank

According to Selvamurugan et al.., the conventional wet coffee processing plants is required 85,085
litter of water for the processing of 1 tons of fresh cherry coffee. Due to this high water demanding
nature of this wet coffee processing plant is usually constructed very near to river or other water
streams. Because of this reason it is possible to say all wet-coffee processing industries are the main
cause of environmental pollution.

Wet-mill coffee industry processing consist two main types of by-products such as Pulp and
mucilaginous lagoon. Pulp represents about 40% of the weight of the fresh fruit and mucilaginous
lagoon is 45%, presently is underutilized, causing serious pollution problems.

The coffee waste effluent consists of different sugars, crude protein, crude fiber, different nutrients
and chemicals which are generated from red cherry processing and its fermentation processes. The
coffee wastewater is also containing organic compounds which create high BOD and COD demand
in water body. Coffee fermentation has high sugars contain in fermentation tank that generates high
acidity conditions. The effluent also consists of different toxic chemicals such as tannins, alkaloids
(caffeine) and polyphenolic compounds and nutrients like nitrate and phosphate. Discharge of such
kinds of untreated coffee washed effluent into open environment and the downstream river which
bring various environmental and public health problems.

It can also cause socio-economic impacts mainly due to human health problems and loss of
biodiversity. The presence of organic material and its demand of great quantities of oxygen to
degrade confer a toxic nature.

6.2 Annual Project Washed Coffee Production Plan

SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY(PLC) project annual washed coffee


production plan were taken to speculation the amount of project coffee waste generation and its
impact. The project processing industry machine type is AAGARD 5-disk pulping with 2-disk re-
passes machine. Based on the owner annual washed coffee production plan in the year 2021 and the
machine annual processing capacity is 1,872,000 red-cherry per crop season.

Based on the project owner’s annual washed coffee production plan in the year 2021 is 936,000 kg
per year (50% of the machine capacity). The project plant will operate one shift within 24 hours a

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 18


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

day, and 900 working days a year, but for red cherry processing only 78 days per year. Based on this
assumption the owner’s was planned to production 177,840 kg parchment coffee per year and
supply to the Ethiopia commodity exchange market. The detail of production program is shown
below in the table 6.1.

6.2.1 Estimated Waste Generation from the Industry


Based on the above annual washed coffee production plan, the consultant estimated the amount
coffee industry waste effluent arises and associated negative impact to the environmental. The above
bench marks of coffee pulping industry water requirement for the processing of 1tons of red cherry,
this conventional wet coffee processing plant, use of water is about 80,085 litter per tones coffee
fruit is required. This consultancy estimation will be import for the project owners to allocated
environmental cost of budget for the gross waste management mitigation measure, for the eco-
solution of the business and reduction of the environmental cost. Here, therefore, the detailed
information of the amount of waste generation was estimated and is shown below table 3.

Table 6-3: The Amount of Waste in Shoicho Coffee Pulping Industry


Description Unit Qt
Total Annual Red Cherry Requirement per year kg 936,000
Water Requirement /tones of Red Cherry Fruit liter 85,085
Total Annual water Requirement water Liter 79,639,560
Type of Waste component unit % Qt
Fresh pulp (82 % MC)& fresh skin tons 40% 374
Mucilaginous effluents from total H2O Consumed Litter/yer 45% 35,837,802

It is concluded that, this coffee industry will have 374 tons mucilaginous contaminated solid waste
(coffee pulp) and 35,837,802 tons of lagoon liquid waste (wastewater or effluents) will be generate
due to its high water demanding nature of the pulping machine. Those generated solid and liquid
waste is containing a very high potential of environment pollutants (effluent), when it disposing to
the downstream of water course with no any treatment. Such coffees wastes are nowadays become
series problem on receiving environment especially on water bodies and human health. The detailed
type of waste and its impact is well described in the next section.

6.3 Types and Nature of Waste in Wet-Coffee Processing Industry


Waste is defined by the EP Act as including anything that is left over, or an unwanted by-product or
surplus, from coffee industrial activity. This coffee wastes are generated by Shoicho Wet-Coffee
Processing Industry(PLC) from wide range of wet coffee processing activities. The principal
generated waste can be broadly categorized as:

 Fermented effluents (different sugars, crude protein, high acidity, tannins, alkaloids
(caffeine) and polyphenolic compounds and nutrients like nitrate and phosphate)
 coffee pulp with different nutrients and chemicals components;
 Asset decommissioning and abandonment after coffee processing activities.

This type of waste is categorized as being one of the following two waste classes:

 Regulated type of Waste: wastes that require specific controls or actions as defined by EPA
legislation. Such coffee Lagoon type of waste is listed, hazardous, regulated and controlled
wastes that typically have unique handling and disposal requirements in order to manage
specific hazards associated with them. In this case such as different sugars, crude protein,
crude fiber, different nutrients and chemicals and toxic chemicals such as tannins,
alkaloids (caffeine) and polyphenolic compounds are generated and considered as regulated
waste.
 Recyclable type of Waste: Waste that are able to be reconditioned, reprocessed or reused. In
this case coffee pulp is considered as recyclable waste. For the further information for each
waste class is more described in the following sections.

6.3.1 Recyclable Waste (Coffee Pulp)


Recyclable wastes commonly generated by this wet coffee processing industry are include; sugar
substances and nutritive contain coffee pulp. This waste type contained different nutrients and
chemicals like Nitrogen and Phosphorus. These nutrients after long fermentation process which are
released to the downstream river and other water bodies; the water is become rich in mineral and
organic nutrients that promote a proliferation of aquatic plants, especially blue green algae. By these
reason organic compounds of NOx is released to water bodies. During microbial oxidations of
nitrogenous waste is cased acidification of fresh water body. As a result, the acidic nature waste
carbonic acid and nitric acids are produced which is able to lower the pH level of the river water
(water become at lower pH)? Acidic water body will create a condition where aquatic plants,
animals and microbes are hardly survived.

The coffee pulp has high amount of protein substances. Discharge of this coffee pulp fermented
black rise effluent to the water body which can increase the concentrations of ammonia and nitrogen
in the river. Thus, it creates anaerobic aquatic environment where aquatic organisms are unable to
get enough oxygen for further aerobic respiration and very difficult for their survival.

6.3.2 Regulated Waste


Regulated wastes are generated by this wet coffee processing Industry which has an adverse effect to
the receiving environment. Wastes are fermented toxic mucilage and effluent consists of different
sugars, crude protein, crude fiber and different toxic chemicals such as tannins, alkaloids (caffeine)

and polyphenolic compounds. Discharge of a large quantity of protein, carbohydrates and other
organic matter also increase biological and chemical demand of oxygen.

Oxygen serve as electron accepter during oxidation of these reduced in to organic chemical
substances and can deplete the dissolved oxygen in the river water. On the other hand discharge of
such kinds of effluent into open environment and the river as well as any water bodies will cause
various environmental and public health problems. Generally this type of waste is classified as
regulate waste which is requires strong control, treatment and careful control on-site waste
management.

6.4 Project Waste Management System


6.4.1 Liquid (Lagoon) Waste Collection Center
Shoicho Wet-Coffee Processing Industry (PLC) has one drilled collection centers (DCC) which
are unlined wall along the side of the river side to collect coffee processing wastewater from the
flow washed channel, mucilage containing water from the fermentation thank and final washing
wastewater from the washing channels during the processing activities. The wastewaters were flows
through channel collectively and collect in the septic tank (lagoons) exposed live for evaporation.
But the lagoons in the septic tank usually collected without any treatment, the blue green algae were
developed and form layer upon the lagoons which prevents evaporation of the waste. Because of this
poor waste handling system which is further result in toxic substance and remains in the pit
throughout the year. The next production and processing time the waste may expected discharged to
the downstream rivers. This washing station required improved Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP) for the sustainable environmental protection.

6.4.2 Solid (Coffee Pulp) Collection Center


In this coffee washing Industry has one pulp separator with no concrete lining. This collection
center is used for the temporary collection of coffee pulp with the separation of pulping water
section. This operation were done due to the processing machine is installed with no water
recycling system the wastewater simply flow to the down Gigessa River not in to septic pit, it
should be established well develop water recirculation system, unless otherwise frequently
monitoring by the authorized organization.

This pulp separation and collection system keep the whole pulp until to form hip in certain days,
since pulp coating sugars mucilage substance together are predominantly common practice used in
this industry, this fevered of aggregate to contaminated pulp with high sugars compound in
collection center a common practices. The pulp goes to farther fermentation; it generates heavy
black toxic compounds which have adverse effect on to the receiving environment.

Generally this wet coffee processing industry waste management facilities practice is a highly
expose to the risk to pollution; It should be developing new WMP.

6.5 Environmental Impact of the Project


6.5.1 Positive Impact
Coffee has a vital economic importance to the local community as whole for the nation. Coffee is the biggest
source of foreign exchange earning that can enable the country import capital and consumable goods. Some
of the positive impacts are;

Important the local coffee producer’s as capable of market bargaining power


Increase the country's foreign exchange earnings
Significant benefits to the investor as well as surrounding areas by reviling income
generating.
The Federal as well as the Regional governments would also receive substantial amount of
revenue in the form of different taxes including profit tax.
Socio-economic impact on the communities with provision of local employment opportunities and an
increase in local market sales
Job opportunities will be available for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers during coffee
processing
Physical and social infrastructure will be realized. This will include local community support on
health facilities, schools and road.

Figure 6-3 : Possible Uses for the By‐products of Coffee

6.5.2 Negative Impact


Due to its nature of high wastewater further produce an effluent which consists of different sugars,
crude protein, crude fiber, different nutrients and chemicals which come from two step of process
one from coffee pulping and others from fermentation processes. The SHOICHO WET-COFFEE
PROCESSING INDUSTRY(PLC) site has sufficient buffer distance (more than 50 meters) from
the Doro Tuto water stream which is well covered by vegetation. Some of the associated negative
impacts are;

6.5.2.1 Impact on Water Bodies


The presence of these toxic chemicals: – alkaloids, tannins, and poly-phenolics makes more
difficulty of biological degradation of organic material in the wastewater. This is resulted the main
ecological effect of organic pollution in a water course (into which effluents have been discharged)
which cause the lowering of oxygen content in the water bodies. The organic substances diluted in
the wastewater to break down very slowly in microbiological processes, using up oxygen from the
water. Due to the decrease in oxygen content, the demand for oxygen to break down organic material
in the wastewater exceeds the supply, dissolved in the water, thus creating anaerobic conditions in
water bodies.

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 22


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

According to Asian Journal of Science and Technology May, 2015 study in Ethiopia, the amount of
oxygen needed to biologically break down organic wastes diluted in water (BOD) could be as high
as normal(15,000 mg/l) while the amount of dissolved oxygen required to combine with chemicals
in the wastewater (COD), could be between (15,000 and 25,000 mg/l). The resulting anaerobic
conditions can be fatal to aquatic creatures and also cause bad odour; moreover, the bacteria
cause health problems if the wastewater seeps into a source of potable water. All these are
potentials of adverse impact on the environment.

The organic and acetic acids from the fermentation of the sugars make the wastewater very acidic
(with pH as low as 3.8), a condition in which higher plants and animals can hardly survive.
Moreover, the total suspended solids in the effluents are high; in particular, the digested mucilage,
when precipitated out of the solution, builds a crust on the surface, clogging up waterways and
further contributing to the anaerobic conditions. Both studies of these concentrations were much
higher than the permissible limits prescribed by WHO. The detail information is shown below
Figure 6. 2.

Figure 6-4: Permited Standard of Wet Coffee Processing Waste in Water Body

6.5.2.2 Impact on Human Health


Discharge of such kinds of effluent into open environment and river can bring various causes in
socio-economic impacts mainly due to human health problems and several physiological disorders
human with the most sensitive parts being kidneys, blood and nervous system.

The waste can be also caused on psychological effects such as noise annoyance and disruption of
concentration. Physical effects include loss of hearing, pain, nausea, and interference with
contaminations exposure to bad odor.

In conclusion to ensure sustainable production processed washed coffee production and its
economic benefits, sound and cost effective coffee Environmental and Social Management Plan
(ESMP) developed options are obligatory.

6.5.2.3 Soil Pollution


Due to the extensive coffee processing waste involved in and out of the industry area the waste
dispose on the surrounding land leveling, which the soil exposed to soil pollution, this was a serious
problem in the area. The industry area water and soils are particularly expected vulnerable, but no
any visible soils pollution case in this coffee industry.

6.5.2.4 Air Pollution


Coffee Industrial activities within the surrounding area the coffee by-product collect and dispose in
the industry living for long fermentation husk and mucilage with hydro carbon such as sugar and
moisture content undergo rapid fermentation generates offensive odours through this multiple small
case multi allergic effete and increase in releases of various toxic constituents into the atmosphere.
These activities have counted for the poor ambient air quality of the coffee environment. The
emission of noxious gases during the processing season and after operation for a long period the
industry waste polluted the environment air.

MITIGATION MEASURES
7.1 Project Waste Management Hierarchy Principles
The project will use a sustainable approach to improve its waste management practice. This
approach involves in identification of its waste level and revolves around the identified hierarchy,
which provides a guideline to target waste production and disposal. The successful implementation
of this waste hierarchy principles assist in this industry to:

 Minimize waste volumes and the risk of causing harm to the environment; and
 Maximize operational efficiency and environmental performance.
The consultancy was identified the following waste management hierarchy for this coffee industry,
from most preferable to least preferable, which is illustrated in Figure 7.1. Each step of the hierarchy
is discussed further in the following Sections.

Figure 7-5: Project Wet-Coffee Industry Waste Management Hierarchy

7.1.1 Waste Reduction from the Source


Waste reduction is closely tied to waste avoidance as described above. However, waste reduction
can be achieved at any stage of a wet coffee processing by daily removing the processes of pulp
materials rather than to collect along time in one place, to achieve a more resource efficient process.
In the case of coffee wastewater to be reduced; it is one of the efficient and most economical method
is the quantity of wastewater generated at the source should be reduced. Subsequent modifications in
processing machinery installing of recycling pump system which can be reduce water usage by 90%.
Therefore the present coffee industry wastewater 35,837,802 tons (table 6.2) should be reduced by
re-installing water recycling system in the machines that reduction in quantity of water is one of the
most important aspects at the min time in reducing the size of collection pit and environmental cost.

Waste reduction also requires less energy than the waste management options listed further down the
hierarchy by designing out waste before it is created. Waste itself is an indicator that systems and

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 25


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

processes can be better designed. This application described below in the practical recommendation
section.

7.1.2 Waste Reuse


Wet coffee processing waste are able to be reused with no or minimal treatment. Predominant reuse
opportunities within this wet coffee processing industry include the use of husk and pulp composite
preparation for commercial organic fertilizer and use growing media for Mushroom production and
other commercial use. This application described below in the practical recommendation section.

7.1.3 Waste Recycling


Waste recycle with treatment is no more sophistication and more costly in principle. In this case
coffee waste types generated from this wet coffee processing industry activities are able to be treated
by EM (Effective Micro-organism) on fresh pulp for reuse agricultural fertilizer and liquid waste
on-site or for safe use for agriculture irrigation to produce horticulture crops. Existing wastes treated
by EM for reuse where appropriate and/or release to land, comprise to:

 Reduce hydrocarbon contamination to soils and farm land or in-situ where possible ;
 Reduce wastewaters, including: Sewage at polluted the downstream rivers.
For more detailed discussion on the treatment and management of wastewaters, including toxic
water generated within this project, refer to the Wet-Coffee Industry Environmental and Social
Management Plan section.

7.1.4 Waste Recovery (Energy from Waste)


Most of the biogas digesters are fed with cow dung or latrine waste. By-products of coffee
processing, which are currently discarded as waste, could be an alternative feedstock. The rates and
extent of bio-degradation are crucial in anaerobic fermentation of agricultural residues, which in turn
depend on lignocellulose contents and properties. Higher cell contents (protein, carbohydrates,
and fats) tend to ferment easily and result in higher methane production. The complex interaction
of hemicellulose and lignin often leads to a reduced cellulose hydrolysis. However, in a first
approximation, lignin content in substrates has been proven to be a good predictor of methane
potential from agro-industrial wastes. This application described below in the recommendation
section.

7.1.5 Waste Disposal


This waste hierarchy is the last option in coffee industry. Wastes that cannot be reused, recycled or
treated for beneficial reuse will be segregated and stored in designated waste storage areas at which
location for collection center is permitted by authorized bodies. If there is waste disposal facilities
are located within the immediate area or project area as well as the surrounding region landfills
areas, which is permitted by the authorized organizational. This application described below in the
recommendation section.

7.2 Future Waste Management Practices


In this wet coffee processing Industry previously and currently implementation of waste
management system by far was good and more general practice, but which was not an avoidable of
fermented toxic sewage wastes. However, the project should be improved current practices to ensure

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 26


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

that the project assets and activities that generate, receive (store) or dispose of waste having an
understanding and in recognition of the waste management hierarchy system, which is important to know;

 The types and quantities of waste generated, received and/or disposed; and
 Any risks associated with the handling and disposal of these wastes.
These principal practices are discussed in further recommendation of WMP and for this detail as
flows;

7.2.1 Waste Inventory Practice


All assets and/or activities that generate, store or manage waste shall use a waste inventory to record
the details of waste products. Inventory information is to include:
 The type and volume of each waste;
 The source of the waste; and
 The destination / fate of the waste.
Waste inventories enable the accurate assessment of waste data. Waste inventories therefore directly
assist in the implementation of the waste avoidance and waste reduction principles of the waste
hierarchy by enabling the review of the waste streams generated by wet coffee processing activities
and consequently identify opportunities for improvement. Waste inventories are also important to
enable the accurate reporting of waste types and volumes to the regulatory bodies as required (e.g.
sustainability reporting).

7.2.2 Waste Storage and Handling Practice


In these industry area waste facilities described in above section, coffee processing wastes requiring
careful handling for recycling and/or disposal are stored within designated waste storage septic tank.
Wastes are broadly segregated into general, recyclable and regulated waste types, with further
segregation within each category (as required) for ease of identification and collection and to avoid
contamination.

Fermented toxic waste requires more specific storage, treatment and handling requirements due to
their potential to cause environmental harm and/or health and safety issues. Toxic wastes will be
stored in appropriate septic tanks with waste treatment that are appropriately labeled and where
applicable, in accordance with the recommendations of relevant Safety Regulation Acts.

9 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. There are
approaches to monitor, control, reclaim and restore the environment back to its appropriate state.
EMPs for these 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.

This washing station 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 to this coffee Industry. The
detailed information stated below in Table-9-1.

10 Evaluation and Review


10.1 Shoicho Wet-Coffee Industry Evaluation
The implementation and effectiveness of this management plan and its associated procedures will be
regularly assessed to ensure:

 SHOICHO WET COFFEE INDUSTRY(PLC) is demonstrating compliance with


legal and landholder obligations;
 The overall management strategy remains relevant and up to date; and
 The plan and procedures adequately manage the environmental issue.

Effectiveness will be assessed by a number of methods as shown in Table 10-1.

Table 10-6: Methods to Assess Procedural Effectiveness


Assessment Tool Description
Checklists– SHOICHO WET COFFEE Checklists, developed to reflect procedural requirements /
INDUSTRY(PLC)Wet-Coffee Processing outcomes will be used by individual SHOICHO WET COFFEE
Industry Compliance Management System INDUSTRY (PLC) Departments to assess and manage
compliance. The results of the checklists will be evaluated for
trending non-compliances that may be resolved through
procedural change or by implementing another measure or
process
Audits Conduct internal and third party audits every year immediately
after the production is finished to formally assess the level of
compliance with both regulatory requirements and with
SHOICHO WET COFFEE INDUSTRY (PLC) procedures.
Audit outcomes are used to develop corrective actions which
may include changes to procedures

Review of Incidents A review of internal incidents, near misses or hazards will be


undertaken to identify recurrences of similar incident types.
This may highlight a requirement for a change in an existing
procedure, require the development of a new procedure or by
implementation of another measure or process to address the
recurring issue

Review of Data Analyses all relevant data collected for negative and/or
undesirable trends that may be prevented by procedural
changes or by implementing another measure or process.

10.2 Derse H/Yimer Wet-Coffee Processing Industry Review


The WMP is a living document and shall be reviewed at least every three years or sooner if any of
the following occur:

 The plan is not adequately managing the issue (refer Section 10);

Rekik Development Consultants PLC Mobil -0911384833 Page 42


Wet Coffee Processing Industry ESMP

 Legislative requirements change;


 The area of activity changes;
 A new waste type is to be generated; and/or
 New procedures relating to waste management are developed.
Reviews and changes to the WMP are to be communicated to relevant Shoicho Wet-Coffee
Processing Industry (PLC) Project personnel.

11 Conclusion and Recommendations


11.1 Conclusion

SHOICHO WET COFFEE INDUSTRY (PLC) Environmental and Social Management Plan has
integrated mitigation measures with a view to ensuring compliance with all the applicable laws and
procedures.

In relation to the recommended mitigation measures that should be incorporated during the
renovation phase, the development’s input to the society; and cognation that the washed station is
economically and environmentally sound, establishments are considered beneficial and important.

It is thus our recommendation that the washing station be allowed to go ahead with the
implementation provided the outlined mitigation measures are adhered to. Major concerns should
nevertheless be focused towards minimizing the occurrence of impacts that would degrade the
general environment. Therefore, major practical works are required to aware the local community
and develop their confidence in the washing station project, and to conduct transparent mitigation
measure application and the necessary steps should make on what conditions this washed coffee
Station Environmental and Social Management Plan consolidate by the consultant and provide to the
Zone and woreda EPA office for the acceptance and approval of to this envisaged washed station
Environmental and Social Management Plan. This will however be overcome through close follow-
up and implementation of the recommended Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans
(EMPs).

11.2 Recommendations

Recommendations for the prevention and mitigation of adverse impacts are as follows:
 The proponent should therefore follow the guidelines as set by the relevant departments to
safeguard and environmental management principles during coffee processing operation
period
 The proponent should therefore follow the recommended mitigation measure as set in this
WMP report.
 It is important that warning/ informative sign (bill boards) be erected at the site. These should
indicate the operation hours and when works are likely to be started and completed.
 All solid waste materials resulting from operation activities should be re-used, recycle for
appropriate commercial use-off at approved dumpsites.
 Proper and regular maintenance should be done on the previously established waste
management system such as collection and basin filtration pit/lagoons, Bioinfilitration
wetland (“vetiver grass”) and coffee by-products use for commercial purposes.
 Maintenance should be conducted in a designated area and in a manner not to interfere with
the environment.
 All liquid waste materials resulting from operation activities should be re-used, recycle for
commercial purpose and if not off at approved dumpsites.

 A fully equipped first aid kit should be provided within the site.
 Workers should get food that is hygienically prepared. The source of such food should be
legalized or closely controlled.
 The owners should provide adequate security during the period of operation phase of
washing coffee processing.
