This NEMA license outlines the environmental and operational requirements for Krystalline Salt Limited's 800-hectare expansion of the Marereni salt works in Kilifi County, Kenya. Key conditions include the protection of riparian zones and wetlands, the regularization of mangrove area use via the Kenya Forest Service, and a requirement to prioritize clean energy over wood fuel for salt drying.

• Krystalline Salt Limited is expanding its Marereni salt works on plot L.R. No. 13427 in Kilifi County. The project involves constructing new dykes, one pump, and new salt evaporating pans across an area of approximately 800 hectares, with an estimated cost of Kshs. 50 million.
• The project is subject to several environmental protections, including a requirement to maintain a buffer zone from neighboring developments and to conserve an existing wetland that serves as a water source for the local community. Additionally, the proponent must obtain a Special Use License from the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) for the use of 353.278 hectares of mangrove area.
• To reduce environmental impact, the license mandates that the proponent explore and use alternative clean energy sources for the salt drying process instead of wood fuel. If wood fuel is used, the proponent must plant and maintain a sustainable source.
• The license includes strict operational and construction requirements, such as protecting the riparian zone by ensuring no development occurs within 60 metres of the sea based on highest flood levels, and ensuring cooling systems have zero ozone depleting potential.
