S.4.63 – S.4.66	Construction and Demolition Materials Ÿ Well-planned design and good site management can minimize over-loading and generation of waste materials such as concrete and cement grouts. Wooden frame should be replaced by metals. Plastic fencing and reusable site office structure can reduce C&D waste generation. Ÿ The Contractor should recycle as much C&D materials as possible. Proper segregation of waste types on site to enhance reuse and recycling of materials. Designated areas for different materials storage should be assigned for segregation. Ÿ Under the Construction Waste Disposal Charging Scheme, construction waste producers such as construction and renovation contractors and premises owners, prior using government waste disposal facilities, need to prepare a billing account with EPD and pay for construction waste disposal. Ÿ It is expected that trip-ticket system should be implemented for surplus C&D materials disposal in accordance with ETWB TC(W) No.31/2004 and the Construction Waste Disposal Charging Scheme.

S.4.68 – S.4.70	Contaminated Materials – Further Contamination Investigation Ÿ Building structure of cremators, flues and chimney would likely to be contaminated by DCM ash due to long term servicing. As the cremators are still in operation, it is not possible to carry out site investigation in the areas of cremators, flues and chimney in this stage. To maintain uninterrupted cremation services, further site investigation in cremation rooms and associated equipments are proposed to undertake after decommissioning and prior to demolition of existing crematorium. Ÿ According to the asbestos investigation report, asbestos gasket (woven) and insulation sheet were identified with ACM. It is also not possible to inspect all potential asbestos containing material locations due to on-going operation of cremators, concealed pipeline inside wall and covered up flange connection by metal cover. Further inspection of the inaccessible locations will be undertaken prior to demolition works. Ÿ Contaminated ash and ACM potential contamination locations will be further indentified. In view of close distance between the contaminated ash and ACM, there is concern on contaminated ash wastes being embedded in ACM. Therefore, it is advisable to remove contaminated ash waste prior to any asbestos containing material on building structures.
