This plan shall: Record quantities and composition of waste streams, sources of waste streams, length of storage on site, and final destinations. This would constitute the basis for a continuous improvement programme in waste minimization. Incorporate the following waste control hierarchy to mitigate environmental impacts: + Minimize the generation of waste + Re-use the waste during construction * Re-use or recycle waste streams to other users at other locations * Dispose unusable waste streams at permitted waste disposal facilities. The system for collecting, sorting, disposal and recycling of waste shall be clearly described in the waste control plan. This shall include:Doc No : 7T04-CS-00-PC-001 SGSEsC | PROJECTENVIRONMENTAL [Re +0 PROTECTION PLAN Page: 22 0f 27 Sarrsuiaco, tro. Date _: 13 Mar.2008 * A separate waste disposal area shall be designated on the construction site, which contains clearly demarcated skips and bins to allow different types of waste to be segregated at source : domestic, metal scrap, used oil, paper, hazardous etc. In addition, separation along the lines of potential re-use and recycling opportunities shall be undertaken. * GSE&C shall provide sufficient bins with lids to store the solid waste produced on a daily basis. Bins shall not be allowed to become overfull and shall be emptied as a minimum on a weekly basis. The waste may be temporarily stored on site in a central waste area that is weatherproof and scavenge-proof. * No on-site burning, burying or dumping of any waste materials, vegetation, litter or refuse shall occur. Moved earth and the associated rubbles is unlikely to be contaminated and require disposal. This could therefore potentially be re-used on site to construct landscape features and thereby minimize the amount of waste requiring disposal by landfill. The amount of waste sent to landfill can be further reduced by investigating opportunities for recycling or re-use of waste. The investigation shall include potential treatment options which would increase the recyolability and re- usability of these waste streams. The waste sorting and temporary storage area shall be permanently controlled by a dedicated waste control officer to ensure compliance with the waste sorting and disposal requirement. GSE&C shall ensure that the waste control subcontractors are suitably qualified and equipped to manage the waste generated during construction. GSE&C shall ensure that disposal facilities (whether landfill, or processing plants) have the necessary permits required in order to process the waste or by-product received from the construction site. All wastes shall be disposed of off site at an approved landfill site. 5.5.3 Specific Control Actions 1) Excavated inert materials Excavated materials are not considered likely to cause adverse impacts, since they may be possible to be used as reclamation fill, which is considered a useful reuse of the material. Any uncontaminated inert material may be delivered to public fill site. ‘Surplus excavated material, quarry overburden, rock rejected for aggregate,Doc No : 7T04-CS-00-PC-001 G_ESEC | PROJECTENVIRONMENTAL Re. <0 PROTECTION PLAN Page =: 23 of 27 > mrsuiaco, trp. Date: 13 Mar. 2008 2) 3) 4) aggregate surplus to the requirements and the like shall not be discarded indiscriminately. - Different types of surplus excavated materials shall be deposited separately in the spoil dumps designated for the purpose outside the project site. Construction and demolition waste - Careful planning and good site management can minimize over ordering and waste of materials such as concrete, mortars and cement groups. If feasible, the noise enclosure shall be designed so that the materials are reusable after it has been dismantled and removed. The design of formwork could maximize the use of standard wooden panels so that high reuse levels can be achieved. Altematives such as steel formwork or plastic facing could be considered to increase the potential for reuse. = Disposal of construction waste can either be at a specified landfill, or a public dump. Waste from vessels (Dredgers, barges, boats, etc) - All the construction vessels are equipped with wastewater and solid waste handling facilities. - There will be no disposal of waste into the aquatic environment. - Oily wastewater and oil contaminated material generated from the construction machinery during the construction activities will be collected and transferred back on shore for treatment/disposal. - Solid construction wastes generated during offshore construction works will be collected and transferred onshore for disposal onshore. - Sanitary sewage on vessels and ships used in the marine construction works will be collected in marine sanitation devices. This waste will be disposed of in an approved sewage disposal system onshore or discharged to the sea after treatment if meet the discharging standards. Hazardous (chemical) waste - For the process which generate chemical waste, it may be possible to fine alternatives which generate reduced quantities or even no chemical waste, or less dangerous types of chemical waste. The management of hazardous waste causes number of problems in practice. The wide range of materials and chemicals involved such as oil, lubricants, cutting oils, sludge, paints etc. Hazardous waste shall be identified, classified, handled and disposed of safely. - Types of hazardous waste: * Fuel, waste oil, paints and contaminated material with oil
