Dust suppression measures stipulated in the Air
Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation and good site
practices: ¡P
Use of regular watering,
to reduce dust emissions from exposed site surfaces and unpaved roads,
particularly during dry weather; ¡P
Use of frequent watering
for particularly dusty construction areas close to ASRs; ¡P
Side enclosure and
covering of any aggregate or dusty material storage piles to reduce
emissions. Where this is not practicable owing to frequent usage, watering
should be applied to aggregate fines; ¡P

Contractor may be able to obtain particular models of plant that are quieter
than the PMEs given in GW-TM. The associated mitigation measures to the
particular PME should be reviewed by the Contractor. The use of plants with SWLs less than those in

4.4.2 |
In accordance with Professional Persons
Environmental Consultative Committee Practice Notes (ProPECC PN) 1/94,
potential water quality impact shall be minimised by the implementation of
construction phase mitigation measures and general good site practice
including the following: ¡P
At
the establishment of works site, perimeter cut-off 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. ¡P
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; ¡P
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. The sizes
may vary depending upon the flow rate, but for a flow rate of 0.1m3/s,
a sedimentation basin of 30m3 would be required and for a flow
rate of 0.5m3/s the basin would be 150m3. The detailed
design of the sand/silt raps should be undertaken by the Contractor prior to
the commencement of construction. ¡P
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 completion
of the earthwork, or alternatively, within 14 days of the cessation of
earthworks where practicable. 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; ¡P
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; ¡P
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; ¡P
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; ¡P
All
open stockpiles of construction materials (for example, aggregates, sand and
fill materials) 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; ¡P
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; ¡P
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; ¡P
All
vehicles and plants should be cleaned before leaving the Project site to
ensure no earth, mud, debris and the like is deposited by them on roads. An
adequately designed and sited wheel washing bay should be provided at the
exit of Project 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; ¡P
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. Any drainage channels
connecting storm drains via designed sand/silt removal facilities should be
disconnected/removed after completion of construction stage to prevent any
direct discharge to the stormwater system; ¡P
The
construction solid waste, debris and rubbish on-site should be collected,
handled and disposed of properly to avoid causing any water quality impacts.
The requirements for solid waste management are detailed in Section 8 of EIA
report; and ¡P All fuel tanks and storage areas should be provided with locks and sited on sealed areas, within bunds of a capacity equal to 110% of the storage capacity of the largest tank to prevent spilled fuel oils from reaching the nearby WSRs. |

There is a need

as 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 100 m
should be maintained between the discharge points of construction site
effluent and the existing seawater intakes. In addition, 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
