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.
1.2.1 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.
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.
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.
i) Propose/recommend a specific environmentally sound and affordable liquid and solid waste
management system.
j) Evaluation and analysis of alternatives including replacement of new pressing industry, other
project alternative, project site, design and technologies.
k) Review the current Environmental Management Plan (EMP) practice in Ethiopia, SIDAMA
NATIONAL REGIONAL STATE.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
3.4.4 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 Project Description
4.1 Location of the Industry
The project area is located in DARA OTILICHO WOREDA. Dara Otilicho is one of the woredas in
the Sidama National Regional State of Ethiopia and has 16 rural kebeles & 2 Town Administrative
Kebel. Dara Otilicho woreda has economical source in rich off Coffee, Enseti (kochoo), and Chat
those are main source of economic contributor of the woreda. The woreda which has supporting
agricultural cultivation for main fruit like mango, orange, avocado etc contributing to the area,
country and exporting in the future.
The project site is located at about 1km Southeast from Tefere Kela town in ShoichoKebele. The
owner of the project is SHOICHO WET COFFEE PROCESSING INDUSTRY (PLC). The
coffee industry was an existing and functioning industry. The project is bordered on the south by the
all-weather rod from tefere kela to Kebado town, on the east by the W/ro Zenebech Gosay Coffee
Farm, on the north by Ato. Wodedo Arifane Coffee Farm, on the west by Community roade. The
geographical location of Dara -Otilicho woreda is 6° 30′ 0″North Latitude and 38° 25 0″ East
Longitude with an elevation of 1500m to 2811M meters above sea level. The specific feature of the
project area in terms of temperature is from 28 to 24oC and a rainfall pattern range is average 1200-
1300 mm per annum.
The size of the washing station is about 2.0 ha, with waste management facilities of one pits
(30X25X6M) length, width and depth respectively for lagoon and one pulp separator and pulp
collection center located at 50 m between fermentation tank, and lagoon pit at 35m from Gigessa
River.

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.
4.3 Company/Applicant
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).
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
processes can be better designed. This application described below in the practical recommendation
section.
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.
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;
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.

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.
____________________________ __________________________________
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.
The plan is not adequately managing the issue (refer Section 10);
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.
