Multiple companies are operating in the Salalah region of Oman but found out that no concrete practices of environmental monitoring and assessment are in place, even though industries are operating in compliance with local and international regulations. There is no baseline data available to compare for further research. Initial research was started by Sohar University in Oman for monitoring and assessment, but no conclusive outcome was discovered. The objective of this research on the Salalah LPG project is to show the way forward of creating baseline data for further study when undertaken. This research will provide the best available technique (BAT) for stiff control, environmental monitoring and assessment which can help industries to remain in compliance with local regulator EA (Environmental Authority) and international regulations IFC (International Finance Corporation) and produce with sustainability. The raw data collected from 2018 to 2020 are used in research. These data are general aspect generation from the project, dust (PM10) monitoring, noise monitoring, emissions and GHG generation from the fossil fuel (diesel) consumed on weekly and monthly basis and summarized yearly. These raw data were processed by calculation, presentation in tubular format or in curve (graph) to analyse pollutant generation. This research also gives insight into what to do if pollutants cross the regulator’s parameters. Apart from regulatory compliance research paper also suggest some improvement recommendation for the betterment of company and ecosystem such as reduction in targeted total emission, GHG emission by using grid power in place of running diesel generators.
