MITIGATION MEASURES
Construction Phase
|
Exposed soil areas will be minimised to reduce the contamination of runoff and erosion. |
|
Perimeter channels will be constructed in advance of site formation works and earthworks. Intercepting channels will be provided along the edge of excavation works. |
|
Silt removal facilities, channels and manholes should be maintained. The deposited silt and grit should be removed regularly to ensure that they are functioning properly at all times. |
|
Temporary covers such as tarpaulin will be provided to minimise the generation of high SS runoff. |
|
Any oil and grease in the surface runoff will be intercepted through the oil interceptors. |
|
All sewer and drains will be sealed to prevent building debris and soil from entering public sewers/drains before the commencement of any demolition works. |
Operation/Restoration Phase
|
Regular maintenance and replacement if required, of the High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner to prevent degradation from affecting the performance of the capping system. |
|
Regular inspection of groundwater monitoring wells and the groundwater collection sumps. |
|
Regular inspection and repairs for leachate pump houses and related ancillary equipments. |
|
Preventive maintenance of the LTP to prevent necessary shutdown especially during dry season. |
|
Establishment of emergency procedures or a contingency plan for incidence during LTP malfunctioning. |
Aftercare Phase
|
Maintenance and replacement of the capping system, if necessary, to prevent leachate seepage from damaged caps. |
