4. waste management implications

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1.1 Waste management during the construction phase would be the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contractor must ensure that all wastes produced during the construction phase of the Project are handled, stored and disposed of in accordance with good waste management practices and EPD’s regulations and requirements. The recommended mitigation measures should form the basis of the site Waste Management Plan to be developed by the Contractor in the construction stage.

4.1.1.2 Waste materials generated during construction activities, such as construction and demolition (C&D) material and general refuse, are recommended to be audited at regular intervals (at least quarterly) to ensure that proper storage, transportation and disposal practices are being implemented. This monitoring of waste management practices would ensure that these solid wastes generated during construction are not disposed of into the adjacent coastal waters. The Contractor would be responsible for the implementation of mitigation measures to minimise waste or redress problems arising from the waste materials.

4.2 Mitigation Measures

4.2.1.1 Mitigation measures for waste management as recommended in the EIA Report. With the appropriate handling, storage and disposal of waste arisings during the construction works as recommended in the EIA, the potential to cause adverse environmental impacts would be minimised.

4.2.1.2 The implementation schedule of the recommended mitigation measures is presented in Appendix A. During the site inspections, the ET shall pay special attention to the issues relating to waste management and check whether the Contractor has implemented the recommended good site practices and other mitigation measures.
