market;

Appropriate measure should be implemented to control site run-off thereby
preventing high loading of suspended solids from entering the nearby reserve
drainage system and other drainage systems in the vicinity. Proper site
management shall be employed to minimize surface run-off and sewage effluents
to nearby storm drains.
Site Drainage
(b) Interceptors installed
to floor drains shall be properly used and maintained;

Grating of
an appropriate grate size over the surface channels shall be properly used and
maintained;
(d)
Removable vertical grates, in the surface channels at a frequency of one grate
for every six market stalls, shall be properly used and maintained;

type grating above the outlet point with a hinged lid, together with vertical
grates on either side of the pyramid trap shall be properly used and
maintained;

Removable
sump bucket, under the pyramid grating, with drain hole shall be properly used
and maintained;
(g)
The
drainage system shall be cleaned at a regular frequency using gully suckers or
other appropriate equipment to ensure that the performance of the system is
effective in removing solid materials.
Measures to Mitigate Waste Impacts during Operation
To mitigate the environmental impact from waste, the following mitigation
measures shall be implemented:
Site Cleaning
(a) Daily supervised
clean-up shall be carried out by each of the stall holder. The public areas of

contractor upon closing of the market. Any waste collected should be properly
transferred to the refuse collection area.

Collection and Disposal
(b)
Containers
should be strategically located around the market to facilitate the collection
of wastes. Stall holders should undertake the cleaning of waste from their
stalls upon the close of the market by placing waste in these containers;
(c)
The containers should then be taken by the stall-holders to the proposed refuse
collection area. These larger containers of waste should be emptied daily by a
Food and Environmental Hygiene Department’s refuse collection vehicle and
