The assessment indicates that with the implementation of the proposed waste management practices at the work site, no adverse environmental impacts are envisaged for the handling, collection and disposal of waste arising during the construction phase of the Project. The Contractor must ensure that all the necessary waste disposal permits or licences are obtained prior to the commencement of the construction works.

The construction contractor will open a billing account with the EPD in accordance with the Waste Disposal (Charges for Disposal of Construction Waste) Regulation. Every construction waste or public fill load to be transferred to the Government waste disposal facilities such as public fill reception facilities, sorting facilities, landfills will require a valid “chit” which contains the information of the account holder to facilitate waste transaction recording and billing to the waste producer. A trip-ticket system will also be established in accordance with ETWB-TC(W) No.31/2004 to monitor the disposal of construction waste at landfill and to control fly-tipping. The trip-ticket system will be included as one of the contractual requirements and implemented by the contractor.

C&D material will be segregated on-site into public fill and construction waste and stored in different containers or skips to facilitate reuse of the public fill and proper disposal of the construction waste. Specific areas of the work site will be designated for such segregation and storage if immediate use is not practicable.

Chemical waste generated during the construction phase will be handled in accordance with the Code of Practice on the Packaging, Handling and Storage of Chemical Wastes.

Chemical waste generated during the operation phase will also be handled in accordance with the Code of Practice on the Packaging, Handling and Storage of Chemical Wastes.

General refuse and food and beverage waste will be stored in enclosed bins and disposed of at the tipping area on a daily basis to reduce odour, pest and litter impacts. Once the proposed Organic Waste Treatment Facility (OWTF) at Siu Ho Wan is available, the management office of the CPSC should consider segregate the food waste from the café and restaurants and delivered to the OWTF for treatment.
