S4.8.3 – 4.8.5

Use of “Quiet” Alternative Plant and Working Methods

• The use of particular plant with equipment noise levels quieter than those specified in the GW-TM can result in reduction of noise levels generated by the plant. The level of noise reduction achieved is dependent on the Contractor’s chosen methods of working. It is possible for the Contractor to achieve noise reductions from the adopted working methodologies by specifying maximum limits of sound power level for specific plant.

S5.9.2	In accordance with ProPECC PN 1/94, construction phase mitigation measures with good management practices should include the following: • At the establishment of works site, perimeter drains to direct off-site water around the Site should be constructed with internal drainage works and erosion and sedimentation control facilities implemented. Channels (both temporary and permanent drainage pipes and culverts), earth bunds or sand bag barriers should be provided to divert the stormwater to silt removal facilities. The design of the temporary on-site drainage system will be undertaken by the Contractor prior to the commencement of construction; • Dikes or embankments for flood protection should be implemented around the boundaries of earthwork areas. Temporary ditches should be provided to facilitate the run-off discharge into an appropriate watercourse, through a silt/sediment trap. Silt/ sediment traps should also be incorporated in the permanent drainage channels to enhance deposition rates; • The design of efficient silt removal facilities should be based on the guidelines in Appendix A1 of ProPECC PN 1/94, which states that the retention time for silt / sand traps should be 5 minutes under maximum flow conditions. A sedimentation basin would be required when necessary. The detailed design of the silt / sand traps should be undertaken by the Contractor prior to the commencement of construction; • The construction works should be programmed to minimise surface excavation works during rainy seasons (April to September), as possible. All exposed earth areas should be completed and vegetated as soon as possible after the earthworks have been completed. If excavation of soil cannot be avoided during the rainy season, or at any time of year when rainstorms are likely, exposed slope surfaces should be covered by tarpaulin or other means; • The overall slope of works sites should be kept to a minimum to reduce the erosive potential of surface water flows, and all trafficked areas and access roads should be protected by coarse stone ballast. An additional advantage accruing from the use of crushed stone is the positive traction gained during the prolonged periods of inclement weather and the reduction of surface sheet flows; • All drainage facilities and erosion and sediment control structures should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure their proper and efficient operation at all times particularly following rainstorms. Deposited silts and grits should be removed regularly and disposed of by spreading evenly over stable, vegetated areas; • Measures should be taken to minimise the ingress of site drainage into excavations. If the excavation of trenches in wet season is inevitable, they should be dug and backfilled in short sections wherever practicable. The water pumped out from trenches or foundation excavations should be discharged into storm drains via silt removal facilities; • All open stockpiles of construction materials (for example, aggregates, sand and fill material) should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainstorms. Measures should be taken to prevent the washing away of construction materials, soil, silt or debris into any drainage system; • Manholes (including newly constructed ones) should always be adequately covered and temporarily sealed so as to prevent silt, construction materials or debris being washed into the drainage system and storm run-off being directed into foul sewers; • Precautions to be taken at any time of the year when rainstorms are likely, actions to be taken when a rainstorm is imminent or forecasted and during or after rainstorms, are summarised in Appendix A2 of ProPECC PN 1/94. Particular attention should be paid to the control of silty surface run-off during storm events; • All vehicles and plant should be cleaned before leaving the Site to ensure no earth, mud, debris and the like is deposited by them on roads. An adequately designed and sited wheel washing facilities / bay should be provided at the exit of the Site where practicable. Wash-water should have sand and silt settled out and removed at least on a weekly basis to ensure the continued efficiency of the process. The section of access road leading to, and exiting from, the wheel-washing bay to public roads should be paved with sufficient backfall toward the wheel-washing bay to prevent vehicle tracking of soil and silty water to public roads and drains; • Oil interceptors should be provided in the drainage system downstream of any oil / fuel pollution sources. Oil interceptors should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent the release of oil and grease into the storm water drainage system after accidental spillage. A bypass should be provided for oil interceptors to prevent flushing during heavy rain; • The construction solid waste, debris and rubbish on-site should be collected, handled and disposed of properly to avoid causing any water quality impacts; and • All fuel tanks and storage areas should be provided with locks and sited on sealed areas, within bunds with adequate storage capacity to prevent spilled fuel oils.

S5.9.5	Control of effluent discharge • A discharge licence for discharge of effluent from the construction site under the WPCO shall be applied to the EPD for. The discharge quality must meet the requirements specified in the discharge licence. • All the run-off and wastewater generated from the works areas should be treated so that it satisfies all the standards listed in the Technical Memorandum. Minimum distances of 100m should be maintained between the discharge points of construction site effluent and the existing seawater intakes. • No new effluent discharges in nearby typhoon shelters should be allowed. • The beneficial uses of the treated effluent for other on-site activities such as dust suppression, wheel washing and general cleaning etc., would minimise water consumption and reduce the effluent discharge volume.	To control the effluent discharge from the Site	Contractor and Sub-contractors	All work sites	Construction Phase	Water Pollution Control Ordinance
S5.9.6	Sewage from Workforce • Portable chemical toilets and sewage holding tanks are recommended for the handling of the construction sewage generated by the workforce. • A licensed Contractor should be employed to provide appropriate and adequate portable toilets and be responsible for appropriate disposal and maintenance.	To control Sewage generated from on-site construction workers	Contractor and Sub-contractors	All work sites	Construction	Water Pollution Control Ordinance and Waste Disposal Ordinance
S5.9.7 – S5.9.8	Accidental Spillage of Chemicals • The Contractor must register as a chemical waste producer if chemical wastes would be produced from the construction activities. • Any maintenance facilities should be located on hard standings within a bunded area, and sumps and oil interceptors should be provided. • Maintenance of vehicles and equipment involving activities with potential for leakage and spillage should only be undertaken within the areas appropriately equipped to control these discharges.

S6.6.4 and S6.6.5	The WMP shall be developed and implemented according to a best-practice philosophy of waste management. There are various waste management options, which can be categorised in terms of preference from an environmental viewpoint. The options considered to be more preferable have the least impacts and are more sustainable in a long-term context. The hierarchy is as follows: • Avoidance and minimisation, i.e. avoiding or not generating waste through changing or improving practices and design; • Reuse of materials, thus avoiding disposal (generally with only limited reprocessing); • Recovery and recycling, thus avoiding disposal (although reprocessing may be required); and • Treatment and disposal, according to relevant laws, guidelines and good practice. • The suitability (or otherwise) of material for reuse on site shall be detailed in the WMP. If, for any reason, the recommendations cannot be implemented, full justification should be given in the WMP for approval by the Engineer.

S6.6.15 and S6.6.16	a. The marine sediment should be excavated, transported and processed properly. b. Stockpiling of contaminated sediments should be avoided as far as possible. c. If temporary stockpiling of contaminated sediments is necessary, the excavated sediment should be covered by tarpaulin and the area should be placed within earth bunds or sand bags to prevent leachate from entering the ground, nearby drains and surrounding water bodies. The stockpiling areas should be completely paved or covered by linings in order to avoid contamination to underlying soil or groundwater. Separate and clearly defined areas should be provided for stockpiling of contaminated and uncontaminated materials. d. Leachate, if any, should be collected and discharged according to the WPCO. e.

*General Refuse*
S6.6.20 and S6.6.21	a. General refuse generated on-site should be stored in enclosed bins or compaction units separate from construction and chemical wastes. A reputable waste collector should be employed by the Contractor to remove general refuse from the site, separately from construction and chemical wastes, on a daily or every second day basis to minimise odour, pest and litter impacts. The burning of refuse on construction sites is prohibited by law. b. General refuse is generated largely by food service activities on site, so reusable rather than disposable dishware should be used if feasible. Aluminum cans are often recovered from the waste stream by individual collectors if they are segregated or easily accessible. Therefore separate, labelled bins for their deposit should be provided if feasible.	To reduce environmental impacts in handling general refuse.
