Environmental Review Checklist for Identifying Potential Environmental Impacts of Project Activities and Processes

The project involves the reconstruction of a central storage facility and the construction of two annexes for keeping biofuel. The project is being implemented under the Local Alternative Energy Solutions in Myrhorod – Amendment of the ERC #DCN: 2015-UKR-008 (Arrangement of a fire extinguishing system). The project's environmental review checklist for identifying potential environmental impacts of project activities and processes has been revised to reflect changes in the fire safety system for the central storage facility. The revised fire safety system includes the laying of an external and internal water supply pipeline, the installation of fire extinguishing equipment kits, and the installation of an automatic fire alarm system. The external water supply pipeline will be laid at a depth of 1.5 meters outside the storage buildings and will be connected to the existing city water pipeline to supply water to the internal water supply pipelines of three storage facilities. The internal water supply pipeline will be laid inside each storage facility according to fire safety regulations and will consist of steel pipes, each of 80 mm in diameter, which will be placed at a height of 3- to 4.5 meters above the floor and attached to the walls with standard metal brackets and metal pipe clamps. The internal fire safety system will include twelve fire extinguishing equipment kits, which will be installed into the branches/legs of the internal water supply pipeline and attached to the walls by standard fasteners at the height of 1.35 meters above the floor. Each fire extinguishing equipment kit will consist of a fire hydrant, a canvas sleeve hose, a hose nozzle, and two manual powder fire extinguishers of the OP-10 type. The automatic fire alarm system includes twelve automatic fire alarms with twelve smoke detectors, which will be attached to metal structures of the ceiling in each storage building with standard clamps at a height of 5.8 meters above the floor. The fire alarms and smoke detectors will transfer the signal to the fire alarm device PPKP-Lun’-9P, which will be installed in the service room, inside the central storage building, to the right from the main entrance. The project's estimated timeframe for implementation is August to October 2015. The nearest fire-station is located at a distance of 1.1 kilometers from the activity site. In case of a fire, the water used for firefighting will be collected into the storm water overflow and directed into the drainage system. In case of a fire outside storage buildings, it is envisaged to use fire-fighting vehicles which will take water from the city water pipeline, with fire hydrants located on Shishatska St., at the entrance to the “Spetskomuntrans” territory.
