Construction Noise

Noise Mitigation Measures as recommended in the EIA Report:

Ø      Use of quiet PME with lower Sound Power Level;

Ø      Erect temporary noise barriers;

Ø      Provide Noise Enclosure at Traffic Deck Opening; and

Ø      Implement good site practice and noise management

Fugitive Dust Emission

Dust Mitigation Measures as required under the Air Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation as far as practicable, such as:

Ø      dusty vehicle loads transported to and from the work location should be covered by tarpaulin sheets and should not be overloaded;

Ø      dusty material should be sprayed with water immediately prior to any loading, unloading or transfer operation to minimise dust emission, if needed

Ø      routing of vehicles and positioning of dust generating construction plant at maximum possible separation distances from ASRs;

Ø      watering of all dust emission sources, if necessary;

Ø      side enclosure and covering, by impervious sheeting where practicable, of any aggregate or other dusty material storage piles, and/or sprayed with water or a dust suppression chemical so as to maintain the entire surface wet;

Ø      drop height of excavated materials should be controlled to a minimum to limit fugitive dust generation from unloading as far as practicable;

Ø      demolished items shall be covered by impervious sheeting or placed in area sheltered on the top and the three sides within a day of demolition.

Ø      instigation of a programme to monitor the construction process in order to enforce controls and modify methods of work if dusty conditions arise.

Section 4.8

Waste Management

Overall Waste Management:

Ø      Implement a Waste Management Plan as detailed in the EIA based on the recommended waste control measures;

Ø      Storage of different waste types - different types of waste should be segregated and stored in different containers, skips or stockpiles to enhance reuse or recycling of materials and their proper disposal.  A temporary storage area equipped with required control measures (e.g. dust) should be provided for temporary storage of chemical waste;

Ø      Monitoring waste disposal – the Contractor shall propose the means by which he will monitor and record waste produced for agreement with MTRCL and on the advice of EPD;

Ø      Records of Wastes - a recording system for the amount of wastes generated, recycled and disposed (including the disposal sites) should be proposed;

Ø      Training - training should be provided by the Contractor to workers in respect of site cleanliness and appropriate waste management procedure, including waste reduction, reuse and recycling, and avoid contamination of reusable C&DM.
