2.8.1

Good site practice and management can significantly reduce the noise impact of construction site activities on nearby NSRs

Ÿ     only well-maintained plant should be operated on-site and plant should be serviced regularly during the construction works;

Ÿ     machines and plant that may be in intermittent use should be shut down between work periods or should be throttled down to a minimum;

Ÿ     plant known to emit noise strongly in one direction should, where possible, be orientated to direct noise away from the NSRs;

Ÿ     mobile plant should be sited as far away from NSRs as possible; and

Ÿ     material stockpiles and other structures should be effectively utilized, where practicable, to screen noise from on-site construction activities.

Construction run-off and Drainage

Ÿ     Silt removal facilities such as silt traps or sedimentation facilities should be provided to remove silt particles from runoff to meet the requirements of the TM standards 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. 

Ÿ     Careful programming of the works to minimise surface excavations for the road 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 summarized in ProPECC PN 1/94.

Ÿ     Exposed soil surfaces should be protected by paving or fill material as soon as possible to reduce the potential of soil erosion.

Ÿ     Open stockpiles of construction materials or construction wastes on-site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainstorms.  These materials should not be placed near water courses.

Waste Reduction Measures

Good management and control can prevent the generation of a significant amount of waste.  Waste reduction is best achieved at the planning and design stage, as well as by ensuring the implementation of good site practices.  Recommendations to achieve waste reduction include:

Ÿ     Segregation and storage of different types of waste in different containers, skips or stockpiles to enhance reuse or recycling of materials and their proper disposal.

Ÿ     Encourage collection of aluminium cans, PET bottles and paper by providing separate labelled bins to enable these wastes to be segregated from other general refuse generated by the work force.

Ÿ     Any unused chemicals or those with remaining functional capacity shall be recycled.

Ÿ     Use of reusable non-timber formwork to reduce the amount of C&D material.

Ÿ     Prior to disposal of C&D waste, it is recommended that wood, steel and other metals shall be separated for re-use and / or recycling to minimise the quantity of waste to be disposed of to landfill.

Ÿ     Proper storage and site practices to minimise the potential for damage or contamination of construction materials.

Ÿ     Plan and stock construction materials carefully to minimise amount of waste generated and avoid unnecessary generation of waste.

Ÿ     C&D waste would require disposal to the designated landfill site. 

Ÿ     In order to monitor the disposal of C&D materials at the public fill reception facility and landfill and to control fly-tipping, a trip-ticket system should be included.  One may make reference to ETWB TCW No. 31/2004 for details.

8.2.2

To minimize construction workers’ potential contact with the contaminated materials

Ÿ     The use of bulk earth-moving excavator equipment would minimise construction workers’ potential contact with the contaminated materials;

Ÿ     Exposure to any contaminated materials can be minimised by the wearing of appropriate clothing and personal protective equipment such as gloves (when interacting directly with suspected contaminated material), providing adequate hygiene and washing facilities and preventing smoking and eating during such activities;

Ÿ     Stockpiling of contaminated soil should be avoided as far as possible. If this cannot be avoided, the stockpile of contaminated materials should be segregated from the uncontaminated ones. Moreover, the contaminated materials should be properly covered with waterproof material (e.g. tarpaulin sheet) to avoid leaching of contaminants, especially during rainy season.

Ÿ     Vehicles containing any excavated materials should be suitably covered to limit potential dust emissions or contaminated wastewater run-off, and truck bodies and tailgates should be sealed to prevent any leakage during transport or during wet conditions;

Ÿ     Only licensed waste haulers should be used to collect and transport any contaminated material to an appropriate disposal site and procedures should be developed to ensure that illegal disposal of waste does not occur;

Ÿ     Necessary waste disposal permits should be obtained, as required, from the appropriate authorities, in accordance with the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap 354), Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation (Cap 35), as required;

Ÿ     Records of the quantities of wastes generated and disposed of should be maintained; Adequate washing facilities should be provided on site; and

Ÿ     In accordance with good construction practice, silt traps should be used to reduce the impact to drainage caused by suspended solids arising from disturbed ground, or any construction materials such as cement and gravel. Groundwater should be disposed of in accordance with the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (Cap 358).
