Consultancy for Contemporary used oil audits in selected Pacific Island Countries - Republic of Palau

Abstract

This report covers the Republic of Palau component of a project involving used oil audits in selected Pacific Island countries. The objective of the audits is to establish volumes of lubricating, hydraulic and transmission oils imported annually into each country and the volumes of used oil produced, stored or otherwise disposed. The work has been carried out by Contract Environmental Ltd under a contract to the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), with funding provided by the Global Environment Facility. Most of the information required for the audit has been obtained in a country visit undertaken by Martyn O'Cain from 26 to 31 May 2014 and was organized through the Palau Environment Quality Protection Board (EQPB).
