welfare facilities and construction sites.
This procedure is intended to provide proper waste management arising out of the wastes that are
generated during construction. This is to achieve the following objective;
- Minimize the potential to cure harm to human health and the environment.
- Achieve and maintain compliance with the relevant project regulation.
9.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to outline the requirements for managing and controlling Waste
Management operations during construction.
9.3 REFERENCES
9.4 DEFINITIONS
Waste is a product for which we still do not know any use and every waste would one day prove to be a
valuable purpose and economic value. We should struggle to search for this economic value.
Waste Management is the act of keeping the working environment cleared of all unnecessary waste and
materials.
Page 18 of 48
AURAIYA-BABRALA PIPELINE
All hazardous wastes are defined as Class I: they are classified as those, which constitute a high
degree of hazard for public health and the environment. Hazardous waste includes, those materials, which
are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic or radioactive.
A substance is defined as hazardous depending on its physical and chemical properties, and its
quantity. All recovered spilled industrial material is to be treated as hazardous waste and cannot be
disposed of directly to landfill unless it meets the Local Regulatory Authority requirements.
Non Hazardous Wastes
A non-hazardous solid waste as any waste that is not hazardous; they can be classified as:
Class II: Biodegradable or Chemical Decomposable Waste
Decomposable waste (Class II) - Non-hazardous solids and sludge which are biologically or
chemically reactive in the natural environment such as paper, wood, household garbage, some metals,
animal wastes and digested sewage sludge.
Inert waste (Class III) - Wastes which are not biologically or chemically active in the natural
environment. Examples include glass, concrete and brick materials, broken clay and chinaware, most
plastics and manufactured rubber products.

stored in specific containers.
Page 20 of 48
AURAIYA-BABRALA PIPELINE
Non-combustible waste will be collected in temporary skips/containers pending transport to the designated
disposal area.
All combustible waste will be collected on daily basis and stored in proper containers in a designated non-
smoking area on the project pending transport to the municipality disposal area. Combustible waste will not
be allowed to accumulate.
NRP will use appropriate containers to collect the combustible waste. This facilitates its transport from the
locations to temporary storage and then for final disposal.
Construction debris and demolition waste shall not be allowed to accumulate such that it presents a safety
hazard for the workers, or detracts from the aesthetic values of the community. This material shall be
removed as the material is produced to the solid waste disposal site at the earliest opportunity.
9.6.1.5. Storage
Prior to disposal in the designated disposal areas, solid wastes shall be temporarily stored such that they
will not constitute a fire, health, safety or environmental hazard or be accessible to animals and carrier
animals.
All refuse containing food wastes shall be properly stored to avoid infestation of vermin and rodents.
Waste storage area shall be provided with a sealing between the stored waste and underlying surface
layers.
A long term temporary storage area will be created to store wastes pending transport to disposal sites.
Non-hazardous waste should normally be disposed of immediately. In exceptional circumstances non-
hazardous waste material may be stored on a specific site before its final disposal.
This site shall be properly designed and equipped with suitable drainage control. There shall be adequate
control of windblown materials, pests, odors etc.
NRP will supply and use his own plastic disposable garbage bags and deliver or contract to deliver all
combustible waste to the designated burning facilities.
Non-combustibles are to be placed in plastic bags and disposed of into designated skips/containers for
transportation to a designated area.
9.6.1.6. Disposal
