Waste Management
7.1.1
Based on the waste management implication
assessed in the EIA report,
no significant impacts to nearby sensitive receivers are anticipated with
proper implementation of good site practices and proposed mitigation measures.
Site
Audit/Inspection
7.2.1
Site inspections and supervisions of waste
management procedures and auditing of the effectiveness of implemented
mitigation measures shall be undertaken by the ET on a regular basis (e.g.
weekly as a minimum). These tasks shall be scheduled in the Waste Management
Plan (WMP) to be prepared by the Contractor, and the site audits summary shall
be presented in the EM&A reports.
Waste
Management Practices
7.2.2
An on-site environmental co-ordinator shall
be employed by the Contractor. Prior to commencement of Project works, the
co-ordinator shall prepare a WMP (as part of the Environmental Management Plan)
in accordance with the requirements set out in the ETWB TCW No. 19/2005,
Environmental Management on Construction Sites, for the ER’s approval. The WMP
shall include monthly and yearly Waste Flow Tables (WFT) that indicate the
amounts of waste generated, recycled and disposed of (including final disposal
site), and which shall be regularly updated.
7.2.3
The overall principles of construction waste
management are to reduce waste generation and to reuse and recycle construction
waste. The arrangement for avoidance, reuse, recovery and recycling, storage,
collection, treatment and disposal of different categories of waste to be
generated from the construction activities and the recommended mitigation
measures are to be described in a WMP.
7.2.4
The WMP will indicate the disposal
location(s) of all surplus excavated materials and wastes. A trip ticket system
in accordance with the Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works) (TC(W))
No. 6/2010, Trip Ticket System for Disposal of Construction & Demolition
Materials shall be included in the WMP. Surplus excavated materials and wastes
shall only be disposed of at designated disposal locations unless otherwise
approved by the Director. All measures recommended in the WMP shall be fully
and properly implemented by the Contractor throughout the construction period.
Mitigation
Measures
7.2.5
The Contractor shall be responsible for the
design and implementation of the mitigation measures as recommended in Appendix 1,
Table A1-5.
