S5.8.2 –S5.8.3	Channel Excavation Works · The excavation works for the earth channel construction would be carried out along sections of the three streams. Wet excavation should be reduced as much as possible. Due to the characteristics of narrow width and small water flow of the original channel, theE excavation to ~~can~~ be carried out in dry condition (even in wet season) by diverting the stream flow from upstream by a temporary drainage channel or narrowing the river/stream with a temporary earth bund or barrier. ~~This could effectively isolate the excavating section from the stream water.~~ Containment measures such as bunds and barriers should be used within the river/stream to prevent water from entering the excavation area. The temporary drainage channel would be backfilled when the construction works are completed or the temporary diversion is no longer required. Although flooding of the proposed contaminant section seldom occurs during the dry season, the excavation would consider to temporarily stop when flood water enter the containment causing leakage of runoffs to stream water. · ~~To further minimise the leakage and loss of sediments during excavation, t~~Tightly sealed closed grab excavators should be employed in river sections where material to be handled is wet. Where material is dry and in non-river sections, conventional excavations can be used.	Work site / During the construction period	Contractor		Ö		-
S5.8.5	Construction Runoff and Drainage · Before commencing any site formation work, all sewer and drainage connections should be sealed to prevent debris, soil, sand etc. from entering public sewers/drains. · Temporary ditches should be provided to facilitate run-off discharge into appropriate watercourses, via a silt retention pond. · · Boundaries of earthworks should be marked and surrounded by dykes or embankments for flood protection, as necessary. · Sand/silt removal facilities such as sand traps, silt traps and sediment basins should be provided to remove sand/silt particles from runoff to meet the requirements of the Technical Memorandum standard under the WPCO. The design of silt removal facilities should be based on the guidelines provided in ProPECC PN 1/94. All drainage facilities and erosion and sediment control structures should be inspected monthly and maintained to ensure proper and efficient operation at all times and particularly during rainstorms. · Water pumped out from foundation excavations should be discharged into silt removal facilities. · Careful programming of the works to minimise surface excavations for the drainage improvement works during the wet season. If excavation of soil cannot be avoided during the wet season, exposed slope surfaces should be covered by a tarpaulin or other means. Other measures that need to be implemented before, during, and after rainstorms are summarised in ProPECC PN 1/94. · Exposed soil areas should be minimised to reduce potential for increased siltation and contamination of runoff. · Earthwork final surfaces should be well compacted and subsequent permanent work should be immediately performed. · Open stockpiles of construction materials or construction wastes on-site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainstorms. ~~Open stockpiles of construction materials or construction wastes on-site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainstorms.~~	Work site / During the construction period	Contractor		Ö		ProPECC PN 1/94; WPCO
S5.8.6-S5.8.7	General Construction Activities · Debris and refuse generated on-site should be collected, handled and disposed of properly to avoid entering the adjacent watercourses. Stockpiles of cement and other construction materials should be kept covered when not being used. · Oils and fuels should only be used and stored in designated areas which have pollution prevention facilities. To prevent spillage of fuels and solvents to the river/streams, all fuel tanks and storage areas should be provided with locks and be sited on sealed areas, within bunds of a capacity equal to 110% of the storage capacity of the largest tank. The bund should be drained of rainwater after a rain event. ·	Work site / During the construction period	Contractor		Ö		ProPECC PN 1/94; WPCO
S5.8.8	Sewage from Construction Workforce · Temporary sanitary facilities, such as portable chemical toilets, should be employed on-site where necessary to handle sewage from the workforce. A licensed contractor would be responsible for appropriate disposal and maintenance of these facilities.	Work site / During the construction period	Contractor		Ö		WPCO
S5.8.10- S5.8.12	Accidental Spillage of Chemicals on Site · · In case of the occurrence of accidental spillage of chemicals, it is required to take immediate actions to control the release of chemicals into the nearby water bodies. It is recommended that the contractor of the project should develop an emergency plan to deal with accidental spillage of chemicals in the construction site. · Good site practices would avoid the accidents to occur. Areas for chemical storage should be securely locked and kept as far from the drainage systems or stream courses as possible. The storage area should have an impermeable floor and bunding of capacity to accommodate 110% of the volume of the largest container or 20% by volume of the chemical waste stored in that area, whichever is the greatest, to minimise the impacts from any potential accidents. · Disposal of chemical wastes should be carried out in compliance with the Waste Disposal Ordinance. The Code of Practice on the Packaging, Labelling and Storage of Chemical Wastes published under the Waste Disposal Ordinance details the requirements to deal with chemical wastes. General requirements are given as follows: o Suitable containers should be used to hold the chemical wastes to avoid leakage or spillage during storage, handling and transport; o Chemical waster containers should be suitably labelled to notify and warn the personnel who are handling the wastes to avoid accidents; o Storage area should be selected at a safe location on site and adequate space should be allocated to the storage area.
