Consultancy for Contemporary Used oil audits in selected Pacific Island Countries.Report for the State of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia.

Abstract

This report covers the State of Ponhpei 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 16 June to 23 June 2014 and was organised through the local Environmental Protection Agency in Pohnpei.
